Travel

If your venue is located outside of the GTA, there is a small travel fee of $25 per musician. This is given directly to each person to cover gas.  If your venue is more then 1.5 hours away outside the GTA, a TBD fee will apply.

 

How To Book

There are two options for securing your date.

The first is to set a day and time to  meet at my house, choose all your selections and go over all of your details.  You will need two cheques.  One for 50% as a deposit and cashable the day we sign, and the second cheque for the remainder of your balance, post dated for the day of your wedding.  I also have a very simple contract to sign, which just states which services we’ve agreed upon.  Consultations usually take around 1 hour.  If you have ideas, please write them down and bring them.  If not, that’s ok too.  I have tons of music that you can choose from.

Alternatively, if you don’t have time to meet right away, but still want to secure your day, I can fax or email you the contract.  You can mail me the two cheques, and we can meet on a day that is convenient for you and perhaps closer to your wedding day.  Once I receive your cheque, you can consider your date secure.  If your booking is time sensitive or would just like to have your date secured immediately, you can send me an e mail money transfer, and then mail your post dated cheque at your leisure.

Both ways are more then acceptable, so it is really up to you and what suits you best.
