Live Performance Requirements:

1) Four chairs without arm rests.

2) Adequate reading light and performance space.

Outdoor events: Shelter from direct sunlight or rain is required. This may mean finding a location that has shade, eg. shade from trees, a verandah close to the ceremony or a gazebo. A large secure umbrella is also a popular solution. If raining an alternate location for the event is required.

Events longer than 1.5 hours:

The musicians will require one 10 - 15 minute break per hour. Breaks can be organised to coincide with speeches. The first break occurs after the 1st hour.

Please provide refreshments for events longer than 1.5 hours and a meal for events longer than 4 hours.

Please note: 2 hour bookings only require one 10-15 min break.

Extra Information:

• Musicians are expected to arrive 10-15 minutes prior to the start of scheduled event.
• Stringspace recommend making wedding ceremony bookings for 1.5 hours. So that music can be performed as your guests arrive.
• All special music requests from our music lists must be finalised at least 10 days prior to your event.
• It is possible for the musicians to be seated in 1 area for the start of a booking (eg. ceremony) and another area for later in the same booking (eg. canapes). We recommend having chairs set up in both locations for a quick change.
