Custom Songs & Special Requests
Custom arrangements outside the existing repertoire, instrumental versions of repertoire songs, and short-lead-time bookings. Send the song reference as early as possible — 4–6 weeks of lead time is typical for a brand-new arrangement.
How It Works
Retainer & Contract
50% non-refundable retainer + signed performance agreement secures the date. Remaining balance due before the event.
Travel Zones
NYC bookings include travel (Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, Bronx, Staten Island, Hoboken, Jersey City). The inner ring covers Long Island, Westchester, Northern NJ, and Greenwich. Hudson Valley and beyond are custom-quoted.
Song Requests
Up to 3 songs from the existing repertoire are included with every booking. Custom arrangements outside the repertoire are an add-on; ideally booked 4–6 weeks ahead.
Sound System
Every booking includes a low-profile, high-fidelity PA scaled to the venue — wired XLR for indoor rooms, battery-powered amplification for outdoor lawns and rooftops, and wireless lavalier mics on request.
Response Time
Julie reviews every inquiry personally and responds within 24 hours. A short video call follows before any agreement is signed.
Lead Time
For Saturday weddings in peak season, 6–12 months out is typical. Off-season, weeknight, and corporate bookings often work on shorter timelines.
