Common Booking Scenarios (prices are sent with the demo CD):
  • A one hour contract is usually perfect for most ceremonies. With about 15 to 30 minutes of prelude music and about 30 to 45 minutes for the ceremony/receiving line etc.
  • The average ceremony and cocktail hour combo would be 2 hours.
  • If you have a very short ceremony and want us for the cocktail hour, sometimes it works to book 1½ hours which we have a pricing increment for.
  • If you have a very long ceremony, like a Catholic Mass, you can take advantage of the ½ hour increment by booking 1 ½ hours.
  • A cocktail hour, as the name implies, is usually a one hour booking. Often we also play dinner music or for entire receptions when the wedding is small and only light music is required.
  • We can augment our duo with other musicians. For example by adding bass and drums we can become a full jazz quartet; add a vocalist and we’ll be a band that can play and sing pop and rock dance tunes. Pricing depends on which specific musicians are added and for how long. Ask us for a quote based on your requirements.
Additional Services (no additional charge):
  • We bring our own, state-of-the-art sound system that amplifies the instruments in a very effective and natural way, indoors or out. For outdoor ceremonies, we can run on battery for up to 4 hours if access to electricity is not available.
  • Any amount of telephone consulting to help you with your ceremony design, music integration, choice etc.
  • We’ll accompany a singer or other musician including a short, day-of-the-wedding run through.
  • We work cooperatively with any personnel that is coordinating your wedding (wedding planners/church music directors, function managers at the event location etc) to make sure everything goes smoothly.
  • We’ll learn special request tunes, if we don’t already know them; just supply us with the music (subject to review of the sheet music to make sure it is suitable for flute & guitar as written)
  • We can provide basic DJ/MC services. We can bring a CD player and play recorded music that you want during the proceedings.
Additional Services (additional charge applies):
  • Provide an extra hand held wireless microphone to amplify the words of your officiant or readers.
  • Augment the duo with additional musicians.
  • Transcribing and/or arranging of special request tunes.
  • Composition, by us, of a custom piece of music especially designed for your wedding.
  • Rehearsals on a separate day (short, day-of-the event run through with a singer etc are included and are almost always all that is necessary).
  • Extensive travel and/or travel costs (ferryboat, airplane, overnight accommodation).
  • Specially produced, custom-made professional recordings. (Sometimes people want a special song or piece recorded professionally by us in advance for rehearsals or as a commemorative.)
