FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Pricing structure to hire both of us (piano/guitar and vocals): $250 for one hour (private house parties/weddings only) $500 for two hours $700 for three hours $850 for four hours $1,000 for five hours Pricing structure to hire only Kierstyn (piano only, no vocals): $175 for one hour (private house parties/weddings only) $350 for two hours $500 for three hours $650 for four hours $800 for five hours Corporate events (not private house parties) need to be booked for two hours minimum. Rates are non-negotiable. We have a premade setlist of the most popular songs from the past six decades, but can learn up to two song requests as long as we have two weeks before the gig to do so. Each song request will cost an extra $50. We will take a non-refundable deposit of half the money upon booking. The other half can be paid after the gig. We will accept one rescheduling attempt of the event, provided we can make the rescheduled time. If we can't, we will keep the deposit but not charge you the remaining amount. If the event is rescheduled more than once, we treat it as a cancellation. If the event is cancelled, we will keep the deposit but not charge the remaining amount. Please have in mind the amount of time you'd like to book us for when we first put you on the calendar. If you change it later, we will charge you for whichever amount of time is the longest. (So, if you change from two hours to one hour after booking, we will keep the deposit and charge for two hours. If you change from two hours to three hours, we will charge for three hours.) These guidelines are in place to guard against rapid fluctuations in our income. We accept check, cash, Venmo, Zelle, and a credit or debit card through Stripe. If you do pay through Stripe, you will be subject to an additional 3% Stripe processing fee. We do not accept PayPal or CashApp.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
We will drive to your location, take 15-30 minutes to set up, and begin playing. We will not charge you for the time it takes to set up or tear down. Feel free to send us specific songs that you'd like to hear us perform at the gig! We do have a basic setlist that we pick and choose from for every gig, but can learn up to two songs specifically requested from you as well as long as we have at least two weeks advance notice. If the gig is an hour, we won’t take a break. Two hours, we take one fifteen minute break at the 55 minute mark. Three hours, we take two fifteen minute breaks, one at 55 minutes and one at an hour and 55 minutes. Breaks are included in the hourly rate. All you need to provide us with is a power outlet and an extension cord if the outlet is far away. You do not need to provide a piano or any other equipment. We would prefer to use our sound system instead of your own, but we can use your sound system if absolutely necessary as long as we can also use one of our own monitors.
