Weddings and Special Events Q & A
With the cost, how much time, prep, and equipment goes into my event?
With Weddings and our other special events there is a lot of time, prep, and equipment that goes into making your special event perfect. Adam starts getting ready 3 days before the event with getting his nails done, prepping his guitar (changing the strings), preparing clothes, etc. Practicing your wedding songs (months before if we had to learn any songs). Packing the car with our equipment. Driving to the location and back ( if your venue is 3 hours away that is a 6 hour round trip). We arrive super early to make sure we are prepared and all set. Perform for however many hours you decided. Then after we are done we pack up all of our equipment and drive back home and unpack. We travel with up to over $30,000 worth of equipment. So we ask that you please understand all of these factors when we quote you our prices. Talk about the fact that we donate our time, year round lilabity insurance, and taxes.
How far in advance should we contact you?
We are booked over 2 years in advance so if you want to be on our schedule please reach out to us as soon as possible and please provide your date and venue/location when you contact us.
How do I confirm a booking?
Once you contact us with your date and venue/location and if you are interested in booking with us and we are available for your special event, we will email you our contract to save the date with us. We require a deposit unless otherwise stated. Your date is not saved with us until we have a signed contract returned.
Can I have you learn a special song to be played at our Special Event / Wedding?
We only learn special songs for the Wedding Ceremony portion like the Precessional, Bridal Entrance, and Recessional. If you add us on to perform during dinner as well you can have us learn songs for the first dances as well. We don't learn songs for special events, cocktail hours, or dinners.
Can I hire just the violinist or finger style guitarist or do you not separate?
We only perform as a duo!
Does the duo provide their own PA system / Sound equipment?
Yes we do! We have small and large systems that can cover any type of venue and crowd size. We can also perform at venues and locations that do not have power with our battery operated Bose systems, so we can perform anywhere you want.
Can you perform outdoors?
While we do perform outside weddings and special events, we reserve the right to do anything necessary to protect us and our equipment from inclement weather/elements. This includes but is not limited to using tents, low-noise fans, tarps, etc., using a smaller, lighter setup to ensure that it can be torn down/moved quickly, moving locations to an indoor area, or declining to play altogether if the situation is severe (Lighting, rain, hail, etc.) Please set up a canopy for us if it is in an open area.
Can you accompany my singer or perform with my other musician?
We will not perform with or accompany anyone else. It is just only Adam Moyer and Kiara Williams. We will not be held lilably for someone else performing with us.
Are you able to move locations?
Yes we can move from one location to the next. For example if your wedding is at a church and your reception is at a barn we can do that. Another example is if your ceremony is at the ballroom and the cocktail hour is in the parlor down the hallway we can do that as well. There will be a fee charged if we have to move.

No DJs or anyone else will be permitted to plug in their microphone or any other equipment to our equipment during the event or Wedding.

I, Kiara Williams will be your contact through the process of your special event. I can’t wait to answer your questions and we can’t wait to work with you!
Do you play any other instruments?
We are just a violin and fingerstyle guitar duo.
Do you just do instrumental music or do you sing as well?
We are just an instrumental duo, we do not sing.
Does the price quoted include travel costs and expenses?
Yes it does!
What type of attire will you be wearing?
We will wear proper attire while performing the day of event.
My venue doesn’t offer vendor parking. Is this a problem?
If parking isn’t available on-site, please confirm that the band will at least have temporary access to a loading dock or loading zone. It's important for them to be as close as possible to your space during the unloading process, as most bands travel with a fair amount of equipment. Once unloading is finished, they can relocate their vehicle(s) to nearby parking. Please note that you will need to reimburse the band for any parking fees or charges they may incur.
