Weddings and Parties FAQs
What if I’d like you to provide rest of the evening’s music as well as your own live sets?Because we provide a full PA system with speakers, we can provide additional music in two ways:
- We can create playlists for you from a library of over 4000 songs, or add to that from your own CD collection. These playlists can be agreed in advance with you, and played before our live sets, inbetween, and afterwards, to give you dance or background music to complement the live sets.
- You may also have booked your own DJ separately, which would not affect our costs.

How much do Eden cost?
There are two options in booking us – two live sets, or three live sets. In addition to the live music, these costs include travel within London, Surrey, Berkshire and Hampshire; the provision of all the music before, in between live sets and after; and the hire of all the equipment.
- Two/Three live sets of approximately 45-50 minutes (12-13 songs each set). As previously mentioned, we can provide music playlists around these sets, which is complimentary if required. Our charges for this are £500.

Where can we hear you?
On our website (Current set list) there are six or seven underlined songs that you can listen to or download simply by clicking on them.
BACK
Can we come and see you live?
Although a lot of our gigs are private functions, we also play regularly in pubs and clubs in Surrey, Hampshire, Berkshire, and London. Details of our forthcoming public bookings are listed on our website under Gigs.
We will also shortly be posting on our website video performances of a number of our songs, so you have another way of seeing us perform from the comfort of your own computer!
BACK
How much space do you need?
Probably less than you think, approximately 4m x 3m is all we need. We can also play outside, but will need to be under cover in case of rain as our equipment is easily damaged. As we’ll be bringing a fair amount of sound and lighting equipment, we ideally require three accessible power points.
BACK
How long do you take to set up?
It usually takes us about an hour to set up, and we aim to arrive at least an hour and a half before we are due to start. If you would like us to arrive earlier to set up this is usually possible to arrange.
BACK
What will the musicians need?
As a booking will normally require a time commitment from late afternoon to the early hours of the morning we would request a meal at the venue and soft drinks to keep up our energy levels. As we’ll be bringing electrical equipment, a power supply is also essential.
BACK
What do I need to do to book?
Just telephone Martin or Emma on the Contact details given on the website, and once we’ve confirmed our availability for the date, and received your deposit, then its booked. We’ll send you a written confirmation by return of the agreed details.
BACK
When is payment due?
A £150 deposit will book your date, and the balance is due on or before the day of the engagement.
BACK
What happens between booking you and the event itself?
If you would like to meet us, we would be happy to, subject to arranging a suitable time, and the distances involved. The purpose of this is for you to feel comfortable with us, and to get an idea of what you might want us to play from our repertoire, or from our library if we are creating playlists for you.
BACK
Do you perform requests?
Yes, but only from our repertoire! We will put Song Request Forms on the guests tables when we set up (unless you don’t want us to) which allows them to select and request songs from our repertoire. We will then fit these in around our pre-arranged set lists. Alternatively, you may have a couple of extra songs you may wish us to learn and perform at the event. Given a reasonable time frame, we have often been able to do this.
BACK
What if I have to cancel?
No problem, although your deposit is non-refundable.
