Talk to us

For a wedding, four to six months, and longer if your date is in the popular weeks after Ramadan. For a conference or a school night, six weeks is usually enough.

We hold a date for seven days on a conversation, and after that it needs the deposit, because somebody else will ask for the same Friday.

Everything we are bringing, priced in groups: staging, sound, lighting, decor, crew and transport. Anything we would have to hire in is shown separately and named.

For an outdoor event the wet option is priced as its own line, so you can see what it costs to be safe rather than being surprised by it later.

Half on booking to hold the date and the crew, and the rest on the day before the event. Transfer or cash, and the receipt is emailed the same day.

School committees can pay the second half after the event. Nobody has ever let us down on that and we are not going to change it because somebody might.

Every outdoor event is quoted with a wet option and a decision time, usually four hours before doors. At that hour we ring you, we both look at the same forecast, and somebody makes the call.

The important part is that it is agreed in advance. A conversation about rain at five o'clock with no plan is how an evening gets lost.

Barely. We finish building two hours before guests arrive, the crew changes into black, and after that nothing of ours is carried through a room with guests in it.

There will be two people on the desk and an operator at the sound position all evening, and you will be given a number that is answered on the first ring.
