Important Information
Inquiry, Contract, and Payment
When inquiring about our services, please have details regarding your event and any special requests ready. To ensure ample time for scheduling and preparation, please allow at least 2-3 months between the time of inquiry and the date of your event (when possible). However, please don't let that deter you from inquiring! Even though availability is not guaranteed, we may be able to accept inquiries within 2 months of the event.
All details of the contract will be discussed and documented during the official booking, including cancellation and postponement policies.
A non-refundable deposit of $150 is due at the time of booking to reserve the performance date. This will be deducted from the total amount due and the remainder will be due 30 days prior to the event.
We accept check, cash, PayPal, and Venmo.
Venue/Other Considerations
For your event, a few requirements are necessary to accommodate the musicians. We ask that you please provide:
If you are hiring other musicians (DJ, other groups, etc.) for your event, please ensure their contract does not include an exclusivity clause, where they will not allow any other musicians to perform at the event. We do not have an exclusivity clause, and therefore are able to perform even if other musicians are also hired for the same event.
Music Selection
Having trouble selecting pieces for your wedding ceremony or event? From providing a narrowed down list to choosing the songs entirely, our coordinator can provide guidance and advice during the initial and subsequent consultations.

Venue/Other Considerations
For your event, a few requirements are necessary to accommodate the musicians. We ask that you please provide:
- Adequate covering or shade for outdoor events (examples: gazebo, large trees, tent, etc.). If no covering is available, then a backup indoor location or covered space must be planned. The musicians cannot play in rain, strong winds, and colder than 60F/higher than 80F temperatures as these conditions can damage the instruments and make it very difficult to perform.
- Four arm-less chairs.
- A space large enough for the musicians to play without obstructing views, walkways, or emergency exits - approx. 8x8 ft.
- For wedding ceremonies, an event coordinator or person to give the quartet important cues (examples: wedding planner, officiator, usher, etc.). Depending on the venue and other factors, this may or may not be needed.
If you are hiring other musicians (DJ, other groups, etc.) for your event, please ensure their contract does not include an exclusivity clause, where they will not allow any other musicians to perform at the event. We do not have an exclusivity clause, and therefore are able to perform even if other musicians are also hired for the same event.
