Here are some useful answers to frequesntly asked questions raised before booking a live band. If there are any questions you need to ask which are not covered, please do get in touch.
How much do you charge?
Our prices vary depending on the type of event you are having. We consider many different factors, e.g. type of event, day of the week, time of the year and the location.
We prefer to tailor our price around the event specification and to what the requirements are on the day, so please do get in touch and we can help you create an event plan which will make your celebration a unique and memorable occasion.
How far do you travel?
Electric Outfit regularly performs in the UK, but are prepared to travel abroad.
If you have an event that is European or International, please do get in touch and we will always provide our costs based on an event specification and location.
Are you insured?
Yes, we have Public Liability Insurance cover up to £5M, and all of our equipment is professionally PAT tested yearly.
We can send our certificates to you or your venue upon the booking of your event.
Do you provide lighting?
Yes, we provide moving LED lighting which covers us and the dance floor for the ultimate light show during your event.
How long is your performance?
It does all depend on the occasion, but for a wedding, our standard evening package includes 2 hours of live music, we can split this between 2 x 60 minutes or 3 x 40 minutes sets.
Music is provided shortly after arrival up until midnight FREE of charge. The Music played would be similar to the style of the band however you are welcome to request songs or a playlist of your choosing prior to the event, we also have equipment that allows you to connect your own device through our sound system If required.
As well as our evening band sets, we also offer some acoustic options, perfect for your ceremony, drinks reception or during your meal. For more information, find out more about what we do.
How long does it take the band to set up?
It takes us approximately 1.5 hours to load in, set up, soundcheck and get changed ready to start the first song. If there are any venue constraints, we would always work with you or the venue directly to make sure everything was in place for a quick setup.
How and when do I pay?
For weddings and private functions, we would typically ask for a small deposit which would secure your chosen date. The deposit can be paid via online banking to secure the booking, and the remaining balance is due no later than 30 days before the event.
Are sound limiters an issue for the band?
We have a lot of experience performing at venues with sound limiters. Usually, our drummer can use various dampening techniques which will reduce the overall sound level, e.g. ‘hot rod’ sticks which are enough to bring our total volume down.
Do you play requests?
Yes, we do! When it comes to first dance songs, we are more than happy to consider learning it for you included in our fee.
Upon booking, please let us know if there’s a particular song you’d like us to consider learning, so we have enough time to learn it well.
Why not head over to our repertoire page, you never know, we may have your song already there.
Do you play public gigs?
Yes, we do, but due to the nature of our work, it means that the majority of our performances are for private functions.
Our website and social pages will have promotional material that accurately represents our performance in a live situation, so please check out our watch & listen page.
We will promote any public gigs on our Facebook page.
