As you plan your affair there are two important segments of the evening/afternoon that must be considered. First, there is the ceremony if you are planning a wedding. Secondly, there is the cocktail hour which is traditionally part of all affairs.

THE EXTRAS FAQ'S:

Why Does The Contract Say, "Ceremony 6-7 PM" When The Ceremony Doesn't Start Until 6:30 PM?
The contract reflects the actual time-period for which the musician(s) are engaged. Typically, a wedding ceremony that begins at say 6:00 PM will be preceded by approximately one half hour of prelude music to entertain your guests as they arrive and are seated.
I've Booked The Band, Now What About The Ceremony & Cocktail Hour?
Wedding ceremonies & cocktail hours are generally handled as "incidentals" with an addendum to the primary contract. Once the band has been secured we will send a ceremony package containing a CD with available repertoire as well as suggestions for your review. There are three pieces of music, which you will need to choose: The bridal party processional, the bridal processional and the recessional. Once we have determined your musical selections, we can then recommend some instrumentation options.
Do I Get To Choose The Prelude Music?
Generally the ensemble chooses the music. In any case, since you are a member of the wedding party you will not hear the majority of the prelude music. As a rule, we select from a broad range of prelude pieces in order to entertain your guests with some musical variety.
Having said this, we are happy to honor requests.
