Frequently Asked Questions
How do I book?
Go to the Contact page and email us. We will be glad to answer all of your questions and provide appropriate pricing information.
Why should I hire live musicians?
Live string musicians add a touch of class and elegance to any event. Live music will invoke the emotions of your guests in a way that recorded music cannot.
How many musicians should I hire for my event?
The number of musicians you hire depends on your budget and benue size. Larger venues call for more musicians to fill the space with sound. Don’t hesitate to contact us with questions. We are here to help you find the perfect mix for your event.
Can I choose the playlist for my event?
Absolutely! We will walk you through the process of choosing music and will make sure that you are fully satisfied with your playlist. You do not have to choose every song--you can also give us basic guidelines for the style of music and we will create the playlist for you.
When do I need to send you my song choices?
We aim to have our playlist completed one month before your event, but you can start working on your playlist as soon as you have completed your booking.
Do you have a song list to choose from?
We don't have a song list for clients to view because there is too much music available to make a list. We can purchase arrangements of any genre of piece even if it was not originally written for strings.
Will you perform outside, and do you have any requirements?
If requested we would be delighted to perform outside. Ohio weather has issues year-round so there are a few requirements for outdoor performances. As a professional ensemble, we perform with expensive instruments which must be protected from sun and rain, so an outside covering is required and is the responsibility of the client. An awning, large umbrella, canopy, or the inside of a doorway are all acceptable.
How far in advance should I book?
We suggest booking 6-9 months before your event.
Will you attend my wedding rehearsal?
Our rehearsal attendance is treated as an additional booking. We typically do not attend wedding rehearsals and do not find it necessary to do so. We always arrive at least 30 minutes prior to any event and in the case of a wedding we speak with the coordinator and officiant about music cues and timing.
Are there any additional fees I should know about?
Holiday events may incur an additional fee per musician.
Any changes made to a contract for time, day, or location will incur a $50 fee.
