Rates: We operate on a sliding scale, on the honor system. Is your wedding small and very modest? Our lowest base price (for events close to Chapel Hill, Durham, Raleigh, and Hillsborough) is $150 per person (or as low as $125 per person if we play only the prelude and ceremony - and your wedding is in the Durham/Chapel Hill area). Is your wedding mid-sized? Our price would be $250 per person. Is your wedding sumptuous? If you are spending generously on location, caterer, cake, dress, flowers, etc., and/or if you are using a wedding planner, $300-350 per person will be our fee. You decide where you stand on our luxury-scale.

These fees (except the lowest) can include ceremony AND reception.

Amplification: We charge $50 to bring, set up, and operate our sound system.

Electric Piano: We charge $40 to bring, set up, and operate an electric piano; we happily use one that's already on-site if it's in tune.

Travel: Out of town, we ask $20/person per hour of traveling. Example: Greensboro is one hour away, so this would be an additional $80 for two people. If you are more than three hours away, and your event will run late, plan to find us (humble) accommodations for the night. If you are more than 5 hours away, let's talk.

Overtime:If your event will require our presence for more than 3-1/2 hours, we will charge a pro-rated $100 per hour.
