Q: Can you provisionally hold a date?

A: Due to the high volume of enquiries that we receive, as a rule, we unfortunately have to operate on a first come, first served basis with deposits. However, if you let us know that you are interested in a particular date, we will give you time to come to see us and aim to give you first refusal if another enquiry should come in. Key factor is, keep us up-to-date with when you’re coming to see us & if you’re still interested, & you shouldn’t be disappointed.

Q: Is the music too loud?

A: No. We use the finest, high quality equipment and alter our sound to suit the room.

 

Q: When do you take your break?

A: We take a short break when the evening refreshments are being served. We’ve found that guest’s struggle to dance, whilst re-charging on cocktail sausages J So we give everyone a quick breather, before cranking it up again.

Please just give us 2 months notice on your song choice, in order for us to cope with the volume required. “first song list”.

A: The remaining balance is payable in 3 methods – cheque, bank transfer or cash on the night. If paying by cheque or bank transfer payment is required 10 working days before your wedding to ensure it has cleared. Cash payments are due on the night – before or at the evening refreshments. If you have also booked Jenny to sing at your wedding ceremony, we can take payment in the church for convenience.
