Once you have selected a performer, act or band to reserve, AMI Entertainment will issue a contract to the responsible party by email in a PDF file with return instructions. You will have 5 days to sign and return the contract to AMI Entertainment along with your deposit. You may do so electronically via e-mail. You may pay the deposit by check or credit card. There is a 5% service charge on all credit card payments. Our bank deposit information is also available upon request in order to avoid such fees. If you will be sending a check, please do so with tracking information to ensure prompt delivery of your deposit.
Typically, the band will perform 3 hours total of music inside a 4 hour time frame. Breaks can be customized to fit your specific schedule. Music can be arranged to be played/performed during such breaks to ensure non-stop music throughout your event. Ask us for more details in regards to particular performers.
No. Our band does not require a stage and can perform without one as long as the performance area is clean, level, dry, covered and protected from all-weather elements. Most venues will be able to provide one for your event or you can simply ask us about our Stage pricing and we will include it in your package.
This depends upon the number of pieces in the band and type of band you have reserved. A typical 5 to 8 piece band would perform on a 16’ deep x 18’ wide stage. An 8 to 10 piece band would perform on a 16’ deep x 20’ wide stage. A 10 to 12 piece band would perform on a 16’ deep by 24’ wide stage. Your contract will specifically address the recommended stage size for your band. Stage size for a DJ will typically be 8' x 12'. No stages are required for Ceremony & Cocktail Hour performers.
Typically, a band will require 3 separate and dedicated 20 amp / 110 volt circuits for their use exclusively. That is one circuit for their backline gear, one circuit for the sound system and one circuit for the lighting system. Some larger bands will require 4 circuits. Your contract will specifically address the power requirements.
The short answer is yes. You can be as involved, or uninvolved in the song selections as you like. We recommend picking your top 10 favorites and not-so-favorites from our song list. This gives us a good idea of your preferences while still giving us the freedom to do what we do best, packing the dance floor!
