How do I book the band?

Simply contact us either by email or phone. We'll take the time to go through your event requirements with you and confirm whether your date is available. Based on your requirements we'll provide you with a quote and provisionally hold the date as TBC on our events database. Better still why not complete our online form and receive a full quote back via email. We aim to get back to you within 24 hours.

Can I see the band play before committing?

The best way to confirm whether Destination Groove is right for your event is to see the band live beforehand. Therefore we put on a number of local showcases throughout the year and invite perspective clients along as special guests of the band. If you are interested in seeing the band prior to your event, check our forthcoming showcase dates and contact us to request places on the guest list.

How much will the band cost?

Our quotes are very much dependant on the requirements of the event but are made up of the following factors: basic performance cost, PA/lighting engineer costs, travel/accommodation expenses, and any special requirements outside of the usual package. The quote provides a very clear description of how the costs have been calculated as well as highlighting exactly what you'll be getting for your money.

Do I need to pay a deposit?

Like with most other good function bands, if you decide to book Destination Groove, we'll ask you to send a signed contract letter along with a deposit for a £100 to secure the booking. Once this has been received, a band receipt will then be issued providing a detailed band itinery for the event. A week before the event, we'll contact you to finalise the arrangements. Please note, even though we will endeavor to remain flexible to your needs, any changes made to the agreed itinery after this point cannot be guaranteed.

What will happen on the day?

In line with the event itinery, the band will aim to arrive at the venue at least 1 hr prior to the agreed event start. This will provide us with enough time to set up and sound check. We appreciate that often guests are present during this allocated set up time. Therefore the band will endeavor to sort itself out as quickly as possible causing minimal disruption and noise. Where possible the band will also require a separate room to change and store extra equipment before the performance.

How long will the band perform?

The band will typically play two 45min sets with one interval, however this can be changed depending on your requirements. If no DJ has been arranged for your event we are able to provide background music before and after the performance as well as between sets.
