4. The 8-piece reception band performance is scheduled for a 3-hour block, which includes 2.5 hours of live music and one 30 minute break. The timing of the break will be at the Artist's discretion. During this break, the Artist will provide DJ services to maintain continuous entertainment.
5. First dance and special dances (e.g., parent dances) are DJ'd and not included in the live band performance. If the Client would like the band to perform one or more of these special dances live, Artist may accommodate the request for an additional charge.

1. Client shall ensure the availability of sufficient power for the performance. The Artist's equipment requires standard 3-prong grounded outlets and does not exceed the power demands of typical outlets. For optimal performance and to minimize the risk of overloading circuits, the artist recommends the provision of two separate circuits, each equipped with grounded outlets, located within 25 feet of the performance area.
2. Client shall provide a performance area measuring 24' × 15', with 3' of clearance on each side for speaker placement, totaling a 27' × 18' footprint. Additionally, there must be a minimum of 33 inches of clearance in front of the performance area for subwoofer placement. A stage is not required, as the performance area can be on the floor or on a stage. Please note, we do not provide stages; stages may be supplied by the venue or rented from a third party if desired. These space requirements are intended to ensure optimal sound quality and performance setup. If these dimensions cannot be fully accommodated, please let us know in advance. We're happy to work with you and adjust as needed.
3. If the performance is outdoors, the Client must provide adequate coverage for the stage area, such as a deep, dry overhang or a tent with sides, to protect the Artist and equipment from inclement weather. Additionally, the staging area must be dry, level, and stable. Performances cannot take place on wet grass, mud, uneven ground, or any other surface that poses a risk to equipment or performer safety (e.g., unstable tripods or speaker stands). The Client will be liable for any equipment damage caused by the lack of proper cover or an unsuitable staging surface.
