WEDDING & EVENT ORGANISERS |
| [ Summary: We describe our service below. Click here to skip that if you wish but we think you should read through it before filling in the form: SKIP IT ] |
| Let us save you the hassle of continually phoning answering machines, discontinued numbers, bands that are no longer together, and bands that are already booked and unavailable for the date in question, only to make contact eventually with groups that play every kind of music except what you want, and finally being flabbergasted by the price quoted. |
| We'll save you all of that. Let us do the hard work. Consider the 5 criteria. |
We'll find you a choice of excellent bands that:
- are available for your event,
- play your kind of music,
- meet your requirements regarding line-up,
- are within reasonable distance of the venue, and
- come within your budget.
We'll give you full details of their line-up, their instruments and the number of singers, their styles of music and their suitability for the kind of event you have in mind. If they have a CD we'll send you a copy. If they have a web site we'll direct you to it. We will also send you a phone number for the contact person in each act that we recommend so that you can arrange to go and see and hear them perform before coming to a decision. |
| What does it cost? |
| Funding for our service comes from the Bands and Performers who take gigs from us. Since we give you a choice of bands or performers most of them realise that you are in a position to compare prices hence they are very unlikely to inflate their fee. Most bands gladly allow us a discount to defray our costs and allow you a discount also. We make a deal with them on your behalf. We believe booking through us gives you good value. We get you good performers, even well-known names, at a very reasonable price. |
| Pre-Paid Service Charge |
| As of 16 April 2011 in order to enable us to improve our service to event organisers we have introduced the prepayment of a €20 service charge. When, having paid the service charge, you go on to book a band or performer through us €40 will be deducted from the Booking Deposit. You will have doubled your money. The reasons for this change are outlined here: [ Service Charge ] |
| So how do we deal with your request? |
| When you contact us by filling in our "Enquiry Form" we'll give you an Event Number and put your request in a queue so that we may attend to each request in the order that it came in to us. |
| NB. Urgent requests will be dealt with immediately however. Especially if they are accompanied by a phone call. We have often been able to supply musicians within two days of an event. |
| When we have cleared our desk of all the other requests that are ahead of yours we set to work on your behalf. We search our database for those bands or performers that meet your criteria. We phone them, e-mail them, text them, and all but visit them in person to find out if they are available. Once we have a fair number of quotes that match your requirements we prepare your list together with a Booking Form.and send them to you by e-mail and by ordinary mail. The information will include the name of a contact person for each act and a telephone number so that you can contact them in order to arrange to hear them. We can help you get a gig list from the Acts that most interest you. |
| Booking |
| The information we send you is issued on the strict understanding that the act or acts we recommend, if suitable, will be booked through us. Having paid the "Service Charge" you must remind your chosen Act that you have discovered them through us and send us the Booking Form and Deposit. Please make your cheque out to us and not the band. We put everything in writing so that there are no discrepancies or mistakes. For your convenience you can now book and pay online using PayPal. |
| |
| Corporate Events & Festivals |
| In the case of corporate bookings we can provide a Tax Clearance Certificate, a Proforma Invoice, an Invoice, and a VAT receipt if required as well as written confirmation of the booking. |
| Weddings and family events |
| In the case of weddings and private parties clients may arrange to pay the band themselves on the night or even before the event having first paid the booking deposit through Good Gigs. The "Pre-Paid Service Charge " will be credited to their account and used to reduce the overall cost of the band. We accept Credit Card payments by PayPal. |
| Cancellation of your request |
If at any time you decide not to avail of our services please let us know immediately so that we can cease working on your behalf. Even if you are not hearing from us we are still building up a list of recommended bands for you and will respond to your request as soon as possible.
- Please cancel your request or let us know as soon as possible if you decide to book elsewhere.
