FAQ
Of course! I love to travel!
I live in East Branxton, pretty much at the gateway to the AMAZING Hunter Valley wedding venues. As you can imagine, travel outside of the Hunter & Newcastle regions would take time away from my family as well as increased vehicle costs, so yes there would be an additional fee for me to do so.
My services are NSW wide! To name a few, I've already travelled to Sydney, Mudgee, Forster, even the Southern Highlands for couples who just knew that they wanted me to entertain at their wedding no matter what costs are involved.
Any travel fees will be discussed with you in the early stages of the booking, with no hidden additional fees later.
Get in touch with me if you have any questions around travel!
The easiest answer is to book as soon as possible!
Time and time again I receive enquiries from couples who simply leave it too late to book me for their entertainment, which pains me every time that I have to respond to say that I am already booked for their date.
My advice is to definitely to get in touch with me in the early stages of your planning, as a lot of the time I am booked for prime weekend dates well in advance of 12 months out!
That really depends on your package. Sometimes extra time may be needed to make sure the set up is completed before your guests arrive. For example, if you are using a space close by for your ceremony, I would need to know so that I can be set up before the ceremony starts. (It wouldn't be professional of me to be doing a sound check while you are saying your vows!)
I will usually look to arrive around 2 hours beforehand to ensure that I have completed a sound check and am ready for when your guests arrive.
Yes, I do!
However, if you predict that your guests will 'go a little crazy' with their requests, then you can let me know that you want to turn requests 'off' for your event. Alternatively, you can tell me what you don't want me to play (also known as a 'DO NOT PLAY' list) and if anyone requests those artists or songs during your event, I will politely decline.
So pretty much if you don't want any 'Tay-Tay' at your Wedding, I simply won't play it (even if your favourite cousin asks for it!).
I have a MASSIVE library of songs that I take to each event and also have access to an online music portal, so even if I may not have it I'll most likely get it for you!
Great question!
I obviously want to make sure that I'm the perfect fit too, so I'll always look to have a chat with you before confirming your booking, that way I can answer any questions you might have around whether my services are absolutely the best suited for such an important day.
There would be no point getting all the way to the end, only to find out that I can't provide the vision you have for your entertainment and risk your dance floor not being what it deserves to be!
