FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
-I have a 2 hour minimum unless within 30 miles of Grass Valley, CA - I ask for a travel fee for any location farther than 50 miles from my home in Grass Valley, CA. * Performances: $2/mile for every mile over 50 miles * Weddings: $2/mile for every mile over 100 miles -I also ask for an additional fee for accommodations if the location requires an overnight stay, for example, if the location was too far to safely drive home that evening. Generally $100 -$150 would be sufficient for a room in most areas. -Weddings start at $800 (includes 2hrs of performance). Travel and accommodation fees apply (see above). -I offer discounts for venues that want to book regular events with me.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Connect through text or email and make sure the client's wishes and budget align with my prices and what I offer, then we discuss details of musical desires and technical logistics. Then I request a deposit and reserve the date on my calendar. When the date approaches I will usually try to check in and confirm that everything is on track and there have been no changes. I accept payment anytime before I leave the venue after I have performed, earlier is preferred.
