Prices are per musician per hour. A dance caller counts as another musician.

The following are some general guidelines:
One musician is more or less a visual effect in situations involving more than twenty people, unless it is a performance where everyone is seated and silent such as during a wedding ceremony.

Two musicians are more likely to be at least audible amidst twenty to fifty people, but will still be mainly background ambience.

With three musicians, the sound is starting to become fuller, with one player usually providing chordal accompaniement on guitar or piano.

Four or more musicians sound more like what most people would call a band with more instrumental possibilities. The greater the number the bigger the sound!

Our specialty is acoustic music without amplification.

However we can also provide and play through a P.A. for an additional fee to cover rental of equipment and set-up time. The choice is yours. If you are comfortable with the music providing definite mood while people engage in conversation, dinner or other activities, then a P.A. will not be necessary. If you want the music to be the primary focus of your event and to be heard perfectly clearly by everyone present, we will probably need amplification. We can help you with this decision during your consultation.

Rehearsal time, if requested, will be charged for at the same rates as for events. There is also an additional fee per half-hour of travel outside of the greater metropolitan area.

All contracts require a deposit of 50% of the total amount as well as a post-dated cheque for the remainder dated the day of the event.

If your requirements are not listed below we can usually still accommodate them. For example, one musician may play for a wedding ceremony with three more showing up for cocktails or reception immediately following the ceremony.
