FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

1. How many members are in the band? We have 7 to 10 members. Our 7 member band includes: male and female vocals, keys, drums, bass, guitar, sax, and horn. We add 2 additional singers, and a horn player or percussionist when using our 10 member band.

2. Will "The Tom and Lisa Band" learn any special songs for us if they're not already in their repertoire? We would be happy to learn a song for you. If possible, please provide a recording and sheet music, and forward to us no later than one month before your wedding.

3. What is the bands attire? Typically, for a formal event such as wedding or corporate party the band will wear black tuxedos. If requested we can also wear a simpler jacket and tie or suit. If you are hosting a theme party, the band is more than willing to accommodate the theme by dressing appropriately.

4. Does "The Tom and Lisa Band" have a contract? Yes, we use a contract for all performances. This ensures that there are no miscommunications between the band and our clients. It is for the protection of all parties concerned.

5. Is a deposit required? Yes, we ask for half down. The second payment is due on your wedding day, before the first dance.

6. Can you hold a date open for me?
The band's policy for bookings, is that the first person to sign a contract and send a retainer gets the date. While we do not put a "hold" on specific dates without a contract and retainer, we will be more than happy to call you and advise you if there are any serious inquiries for your date.

7. What is the process for booking the band?
The process goes like this:
1. Two identical copies of the contract are mailed to the client.
2. The client signs both copies and returns one with the deposit (typically 50%)
3. Upon receipt of the contract and deposit, the date is officially confirmed.

8. Do we have to make arrangements to feed the band?
We do request that arrangements be made for a light meal for the band; however, we do not want our clients to have to pay the same rate as their guests to feed the group. Most caterers will allow the band to go through the buffet line after the guests have finished, or they may provide a vendor sandwich or other light fare. If a caterer is insistent on charging full fare for the band to eat, other arrangements can be made. This is not a major issue for the band!

9. How long does it take you to set up?
Much depends on the facility we will be performing in of course, but in general it takes about an hour to get everything set up and ready to go. The band generally arrives two hours prior to the contracted start time, to ensure that everything is ready to go before any guests arrive, and to give the band time to change for the performance.

10. What information do you need from me in advance of the reception?
Since every wedding is different, we don't need the same information from everybody; however, as a general rule, here are the pieces of information we look for:

A. Itinerary for the reception. What time do guests arrive, what time is meal served, cake cut, etc.

B. Will the entire wedding party be introduced? If so, we need the list of names in advance.

C. When is the first dance, right after introductions or after the meal? What song?

D. Will there be a Father/Daughter Dance? What song?

E.. Will there be a Bouquet and Garter toss?
