There are no taxes or hidden fees associated with our pricing. Cost transparency is important to us.
Absolutely.
Some companies operate as franchises. They place musicians together on a one-time basis for each event. This means the company can book multiple events for the same date under the same band name, using different performers at each event. Our approach is the opposite. Our bands rehearse and perform together regularly. They have relationships and chemistry with one another as a result.
You’ll notice our band songlists are virtually identical. That is intentional! We built our bands to perform the best music from all decades, with a focus on multi-generational parties. This means every group has the same repertoire, approach, policies, and goal; to pack your dance floor! Because of this, you don’t have to spend time reviewing dozens of songlists throughout our site. It’s all been streamlined for you.
This process is a compromise between two parties. We honor your preferences and ask you to trust our ability to call songs that create the best party possible. Leading up to your event, you’ll complete a song-list form and select every song you like. The more music you choose, the more beneficial the outcome. At our discretion, we’ll play roughly 15-20 of your picks. You’ll also select all music for your formal dances. Plus, we can learn two new songs that are not a regular part of our repertoire! (formality dances take precedence).
We are unable to perform with pre-determined setlists. However, your feedback heavily informs what we play.
While this may seem helpful, we have a system that results in countless amazing parties. Our song list form is a critical part of this system. We appreciate your understanding.
I’m sorry, we don’t. We feel the videos on our website capture the energy and charisma you’ll experience in a live setting. Our reviews further underscore the reality of our videos.
We cannot guarantee there won’t be personnel changes. Here’s how we approach this:
At the core, WS is a talent management agency. We hire the personnel in our bands; we train them; they’re bi-products of our expertise. So when personnel changes are necessary, we’re responsible for staffing our groups with the best talent in the Northeast. 90% of our staff specializes in A) talent management and B) entertainment planning. Where we shine is everything that happens after you book a band.
There are no guarantees against turnover in this industry. But we tell it like it is and promise that if you trust our brand, you’ll be thrilled with the outcome.
In the event of an emergency, we spare no expense to recruit a replacement of equal or more exceptional talent. Over 35+ years, we’ve cultivated an extensive network of performers throughout the US. We will have your back in an emergency.
Yes. It is customary to provide your vendors with “vendor meals.” Your venue or caterer will make these hot meals available to you at less cost than guests’ plates. Thank you!
Our booking process begins with a written or verbal indication that you are ready to move forward. If the band you wish to reserve remains available, we take them “off the books” immediately, so no one else can book them. We’ll email you paperwork outlining the event details, such as date, time, venue, etc. Many of these details can be fine-tuned at a later time as well.
* First Payment: We ask that you sign & return with a 50% payment within 5 days. This payment can be made by personal check, Visa, or Mastercard (we do not accept Amex).
* Final Payment: This is due 14 days before the event. This may be paid by check only and mailed to our offices. We’ll reach out with a friendly reminder in the days leading up to this due date. We’re unable to accept final payments on-site at the event or accept credit cards for the Final Payment. Thank you for your understanding.
I’m sorry, we only perform at private events. People book our bands sight unseen based on our videos, referrals, reviews, and reputation. You can read what our past clients have said on Weddingwire, The Knot, Google, and Our Website.
