Frequently Asked Questions

Please read through our answers to what have been the main questions asked by clients over the years Mood Music has been in operation.

Are the band members we see going to be the musicians we get?

The group typically plays with the same members, but rehearsed substitutes may be used if needed. This is a very rare situation.

What if a Musician becomes sick?

A talented substitute will fill in if a member becomes ill.

Are the Musicians covered by an Insurance policy?

Yes, including liability and medical. Electrical equipment is also legally tagged.

Will there be enough room for the band/musicians?

The band can perform in small spaces or on large stages, depending on which group you are hiring. Space needs should be discussed with the venue in advance.

What songs can be performed?

Clients may choose from the master list, suggest two custom songs, and provide style preferences. Extra custom songs that we need to add for you costs $50–$100 each – covering costs of arranging/sheet music. We are happy to add in two new songs at no extra cost.

What time will Musicians arrive to set up

Typically larger bands will need an hour to set up, while solo artists and string groups may take 30 mins.

What do musicians wear?

Most of the time we are formal dresses – think dinner suits and blacks! But this can also be dressing to suit the occasion.

What are the sets and breaks taken by the musicians.

Typically, 45 minutes of playing followed by a 15-minute break. Dinner breaks are about 20 minutes, typically during speeches. Background music can be played during breaks. We do tailr breaks to suit formalities – and this can be discussed with us!

How does payment work?

A non-refundable deposit is taken at the contract signing to hold your date. The balance is due a week before the event via bank deposit. Some corporate bookings may prefer to pay the full fee upfront.

How long has Mood Music been around?

Mood Music have been performing around Brisbane and South-East Qld for 20 years, and many of the band members have been performing at weddings and parties for as long as 30 years.

Do clients need to feed the Musicians?

Light meals are required for bookings of 3 hours. Substantial meals are appreciated for 4-hour or longer jobs, accounting for set-up and pack-down time. The venues or catering usually provide fairly-priced trade meals.

What happens if the client cancels?

Deposits are non-refundable. If cancelled with less than 7 days’ notice, the full fee is due.

Will the music be too loud?

Volume is adjusted based on the event—softer during dinner, louder for dancing. Feedback on volume is welcome.

Can we play our selection of music in breaks?

We are happy to plug in your iphone/etc with your chosen background music for our breaks

Can one of our guests play of sing with the band?

If we are notified in advance that this is likely to happen.
