Answers for couples
We encourage fair pricing from all our entertainers who individually set their own fees based on a number of factors such as:
* number of musicians required
* length of time required on-site
* distance to travel to your event from their home
Our musicians understand you have a budget to work within, and we ask them to provide you with their most competitive quote.
If you have your heart set on an act that is a little out of your budget, don’t be afraid to ask them if they can suggest ways to reduce their fee. This might include having less players or reducing their on-site time.
If you’ve received a quote that you’re not too sure about, just send us an email and we’d love to help you.
We can spot a great act when we hear one, and we want to make sure that your musician is of the quality you expect. To achieve this, we screen all the acts who apply for inclusion in the directory and don’t list everyone.
You may find some acts that aren’t quite up to the ‘elite’ standard, but it’s to ensure you have choice and variety. If you receive a quote from a musician, but you’re a little unsure if they’re the right choice for your wedding, just reach out to us and we’d love to offer our experience to guide you in the right direction.
Nope, you certainly don’t! All the musicians in this directory can be contacted and booked direct so you don’t pay us any fees for our service.
Getting a quote is easy. Simply click the ‘Search Directory’ button in the menu or anywhere on the site. You’ll be taken to a new page where you can select options to filter the musicians based upon your needs.
You can view each individual acts profile by clicking the link on their name where they’ll have all the promotional material you’ll need to help you decide whether to reach out to them for a quote.
When you’re ready, add your contact information to the ‘Contact Act’ box in the right hand sidebar and your message will be sent to them immediately.
Musicians need a variety of information to provide you with a competitive quote.
Before you reach out to them, make sure you at least have your venues booked and have narrowed down the styles of music or song choices. Having this information will make it so much easier for artists to help you.
Your feedback and reviews are very important and we’d love it if you took the time to submit one.
