Frequently Asked Questions
-
How far in advance should I book live music?
This is dependent upon your event and the type of music that you’re interested in booking. Typically, a few months out should be fine. But, if you are planning for a the summer or holiday season you may want to consider months in advance in order to have the best chances of availability.
-
What is a standard amount of time to have live music at my event?
This depends on the type of event. For concerts or festivals, a standard performance time is 60-90 minutes. For private or corporate events, Jay can play anywhere from 1-3 hours. More than 3-4 hours of performance time can be possible but is strenuous, so if you do book live music for that amount of time, he will require adequate breaks.
-
What should I expect to pay for a live performance?
A typical wedding will cost between $1,100 – $2,500. The cost variation is dependent upon the amount of equipment needed to provide ample sound & lighting, and travel time to and from the event, and how many hours Jay will be on location. Extensive travel is an option and cost is determined on a case by case basis. Keep in mind that for a 2-3 hour show there is actually 6-8 hours of time invested in travel, setup, rehearsal, performance, and breakdown.
