Here is another concern that surfaces sometimes, especially from brides: “how do I know if musicians that I hire for my wedding will play well if I’ve never heard them before?”.
I’ll be honest here: you don’t know that. In the case with myself and our musicians – you have 100% guarantee of our skill level and the quality of our performance, which is why I do my best with informing people about who we are. Our professional biographies are on the web site, so is the demo CD. We all have been playing our respective instruments since ages five and six, engaging in professional performances in our teens. I also started taking photos of people’s “thank you” cards and testimonials, putting them up on the site – that way it is clear how someone felt about our musicians, especially brides. It is scary to get a group for a one time event and not know how it will turn out. I guess the same can be said about the wedding cake – you won’t know how it tastes until you bite into it!
