1. Is your fee by the hour or by the event?
Our fee is by the event. We arrive approximately 45 minutes prior to the Ceremony and stay until the conclusion of the ceremony.

2. Are there any travel fees?
We provide service from Manteo to Corolla, paved road, with no additional travel fees. Surcharges apply to events that are off-road and outside of the service area.

3. Are you amplified for outdoor/beach weddings?
Yes, we use small battery powered amps for outdoor weddings and events.

4. Do you come to the rehearsal?
No. Music selection, timing, cues, logistics and related details are discussed at the music consultation meeting with Leslie Erickson months before the wedding ceremony.

5. Do I need to provide anything for the musicians?
Yes, One (1) straight-back armless chair per musician.

6. What about inclement weather?
The majority of weddings we play have the typical beautiful weather that you came to the Outer Banks to enjoy. However, due to weather factors beyond everyone's control, wedding ceremonies that are planned outdoors must sometimes be moved to a safer, more climate controlled environment. By contracting with Club Violin musicians, you are agreeing to provide an alternate location if inclement weather should occur. We certainly want to play your music selections, but Musicians cannot perform in cold temperatures, high winds or rain.

7. Can we request special music?
Yes. We accommodate special music requests that are made 3 months in advance. If you request a piece of music that is not on our list, there is an additional $50 fee for purchasing, arranging and rehearsing the new piece of music.

8. Do you accompany vocalists?
Yes. We have accompanied many vocalists with great success. However, this is considered a special music request and the above terms apply. To ensure a successful performance, we require a rehearsal with the vocalist prior to the wedding ceremony with an additional fee of $25 per hired musician for that rehearsal.

9. What is the booking process?
Inquire about the date and availability of musicians. Secure the date by signing the contract and paying the $200 deposit, which goes towards your total fee. The balance is due two weeks prior to the ceremony. Checks made payable to Club Violin.
