Rates For All Groups

The cost for a group playing at your event will be based on the number of musicians you hire and the length of time you want them to play. Overtime is calculated in half hour increments. There is a $50 contractor's fee added to the first hour. A 50% refundable deposit of the total cost is required when reserving a group.

If you hire 3 musicians, for 2 1/2 hours, your first hour will be $300. The service fee is $50. Thus, the first hour will cost $350.Overtime increments are half hour calculated at $25 per musician.:

$100 x 3, for each musician's first hour = $300+ $50 service fee = $350

This leaves 3 half hour increments for each musician. This rate is figured at $25 for each half hour increment, for each musician. So:

$25 x 3= $75.00 for each half hour overtime per musician.
With 3 musicians, this comes to $75 x 3= $225. So:

Total hourly rate for the first hour = $350.00
Total hourly rate for the last 1 1/2 hours = $75 x 3= $225


TOTAL COST = $575

The deposit amount is 1/2 of the total cost. :

Here is a sample calulation based on a group of 3 (Trio) musicians, hired for a 2 1/2 hour wedding ceremony and reception. This wedding venue is located 100 miles from Anaheim, so there is a $25 extra charge to the total cost.

1st hr @ $300 + $50 contractor fee + $225 for three 1/2 hr increments = $575 cost + $25(extra mileage fee $25) = Total cost of $600/ 2 = $300= total deposit amount
