Is fine music expensive?

Fine Chamber music is surprisingly affordable. Music can be provided by soloists, duets, trio's and quartets to fit virtually any wedding budget. We can design a program to fit your want's and needs at an affordable price.

How much does it cost?

While wedding programs tend to start at about $500.00 for a string quartet, each program is customized to enhance your special day. We will provide a firm quotation after our initial interview.

Can I have my choice of music?

We can accomodate most musical genre's and song requests. Our programs can be tailored to your tastes, with the exception of some kinds of programs, such as "rap" and other atonal forms. The only caution is that the music you choose has sheet music available for string instruments.

How do I book a musical group?

The first step is an initial interview to discuss your expectations. After you decide what you want, we provide you with a cost quote. A 50% deposit is due upon signing your booking agreement. 25% of the agreed upon price is non-refundable in the event of a cancellation. The balance is due prior to the start of our performance.

Do I have to sign a contract?

Yes. All engagements require a signed contract prior to booking.

What form of payment do you accept?

We accept cash, check and credit card. (Your credit card charge will come from Don Shimoda LLC.)
