July 3, 2019Dre played my wife Terri's 40th birthday party and it was so special! All the guests complimented the music choice, a beautiful backdrop while we celebrated in the backyard. We loved her renditions of pop songs old and new it was so much more fun than just putting on a jazz playlist! Dre was easy to work with, answered all my questions leading up to the event and even had me approve the spotify list she played during breaks so I could sneak in my wife's favorite songs. We'll look forward to having Dre back for our holiday party thank you! Highly recommend.

SETUP FOOTPRINT:
Total set up is 8' square feet and access to 2 standard electrical outlets (within 25 feet) is all I need.
LARGER EVENTS: Our sound system is perfect for small to medium sized event. If you are planning an event with more than 200 person capacity, please specify in your initial request so I can customize your quote to include a larger PA System.
ONE AND DONE SET-UP: For each booking we are contracted to set up in 1 location for the duration of your event. If you plan on having live music move to a 2nd location during your event this must be mutually agreed during booking and will be reflected in quote for the additional equipment, time and effort to accommodate your request.
WEATHER REQUIREMENTS: The performance area must be flat and dry with no opportunity for water to reach the electrical wiring or components. The performance area must be covered and protected from rain, snow, and direct sunlight for all outdoor events. For events planned to be held outdoors, Client will be fully prepared in advance with a Plan B Indoor location. If on the day of the event it is unreasonably hot (above 90 degrees Fahrenheit) or unreasonably cold (below 40 degrees Fahrenheit), or if there is rain (even small drizzle), the music performance must be held instead in an indoor, climate-controlled environment. Once we have set-up, we cannot move locations due to a change in weather.
