Welcome to Wedding Central!
Plus Johnny, weddings, and all the stuff in between...
Frequently Asked Wedding Questions:
1- Can you play CD's before the band starts and on breaks? We
always a great selection of recorded music with us ( Dan has his entire
CD collection stored in one of our MP3 players) and we'll keep the tunes
going, as needed, from the time we get there, til we leave. We'll also play
any of your CD's you like us to throughout the event.
2- Can we use the microphones for the toast and announcements? Yes,
we have a wireless microphone specifically for this reason. So the Best
Man can have it at the head table with him, etc.
3- How long do you play? Our fee is generally for 3, 50 minute sets-
within a maxium of a 4 hour period. Any extra sets or longer times are extra.
4- Can you play dinner music?- We can do soft acoustic sets without
our computer backing, but we don't play jazz type dinner stuff.
5- Do you play dancing music? - DOH! We're the duo that sounds like
a whole band- You'll be dancing so much your cumberbund might pop off!

7- Can you learn a special song for us? while occasionally we
will do this if we think it's a song we can cover well, (old songs like
Sinatra stuff with orchestras are hard for us to do justice to) Sometimes
a better solution is: if you have a particular song you'd like to
dance to, we can run the CD for you (you provide)
8- Do you have a demo available?- We strongly urge people to come
see us live, so you're completely sure we're right for your reception. But
Yes, we have a demo available. Heres

( this sound clip is mostly uptempo dance stuff BTW)
9- Can the Maid of Honor/ Best Man sing with the band?- yeah, but that'll
be extra ;)
