How long does it take for the band to set up?
40mins to 1 hour, depending on the size of the venue and the P.A / equipment required for the room.
What time do you start your performance?
We will require you to inform the band two weeks prior to the wedding date. Usually we are asked to start at 9:30pm so we would need to start setting up the equipment at 830pm.

Do you provide all of the sound and lighting equipment?

All equipment is regularly updated and we have our equipment serviced and maintained on a regular basis to minimize any equipment failure on the big night, we also have back ups for our back ups.
I am concerned about the volume of a live band.
One of our band members have been trained in live sound engineering so you are in good hands but if you feel the band could bring the volume up or down on the night let us know and we will adjust to suit. We use a digital 24 channel sound desk with wireless control so we can monitor the sound and make adjustments from anywhere in the venue, we strive to focus the majority of the sound on the dance floor allowing your guest to sit at their tables and talk comfortably when they get too tired from dancing!
