2. extra costs: after signing the musical contract, if the band finds that they need something extra for performing at the job siTe, - will these extra costs be charged to the bride & the groom or special events manager.

NO -

Once the music contract is signed it becomes a fixed price. This way the Bride & Groom or special events coordinator can depend on the contract price to be firm. The Jazz Unlimited Band will always inspect the job site prior to any performance. We often meet with the management of the venue and coordinate our efforts. This helps insure our best performance. By making this extra effort, we are prepared and equipped to handle and correct unforseen required changes at no charge to our important customers. We even go so far as to electronically test many in-house Grand Pianos for correct tuning. If the piano is out of tune or not considered a quality instrument, we will always use our own quality electric piano. This effort requires extra time and expense to perform but provides quality assurance for our customer. The Jazz Unlimited Band is proud of this service. We are experienced professionals and we pay serious attention to detail. This service is quite unique and appreciated by all our customers

3. when do you arrive to set up?

Always before the first guests arrive, regardless of the time of performance and location. We set up and test all our equipment. We are always prepared to perform music when the first guests arrive.

4. will you be master of ceremonies? announcing the first dance, toasts & cake - cutting - etc?

YES -

We will provide all the master of ceremonies duties. We are professional and experienced, and have provided Master of Ceremonies Services for hundrets of weddings and events.

We even set up a special microphone for this purpose, which can also be used for special announcements by wedding guests and management at events.

Proper dress code is so important for your wedding or special event. The Jazz Unlimited band takes pride in being professional and looking professional. We wear black slacks, black vests with our Jazz Pins, black bow ties, white shirts and hats. For format wear we wear Tuxedo's.

T-shirts and even colored shirts etc- do not add to - or compliment your wedding album or event photo album.

8. will you take requests from guests

YES -

We take requests and we can play an "Unlimited" variety of music.

9. how many breaks - and what length break do you require

Breaks are held to a minimum. We are there to serve the Bride, Groom & Guests. We do not take breaks every hour just to take a break. We would rather play music. We tailor our music schedule to fit the cocktail hour and wedding reception's agenda and sometimes do not take a break for two hours. Our short breaks are required to go to the bathroom. Most breaks are taken during special events including special toasts, or movie photos of the Bride & Groom when music is not desired. Breaks are always held to a minimum. We concentrate on pleasing our audience.

10. will all the members take a break at the same time, or will you rotate so there is always live music

The band prefers to take breaks together. Breaks are short and held to a minimum. Our experience in playing for 100's of weddings, and different events, is that breaks without music is often appreciated by guests. This gives the guests a few minutes to "REST" , to say hello to friends, go to the bathroom and get refreshments. If the Bride & Groom would like to play a special CD with special music during this period that is fine. The Jazz Unlimited Band will do whatever it takes to make your wedding day or special event exceptional.

11. do you motivate the crowd - or limit talking to master of ceremonies duties?

The Jazz Unlimited Band members are not only the best musicians but are excellent entertainers. However, we do this in good taste, depending on the venue and type of performance. YES we do motivate our audiences and we are known for our entertaining abilities. This is where our years of experience really pay off, by giving our customers crowd pleasing performances.

12. Do you do group dances?

We do Group Dances upon request only. At many of our performances and at many weddings, we have been asked NOT to play Group Dances. Therefore we do Group Dances upon request only.
