About this contract

This agreement is for wedding clients and bands arranging live music for the celebration. The named booking does not resolve the musicians' internal band ownership or revenue splits.

Key points covered in this contract

  • Wedding performance: band lineup, ceremony versus reception coverage, special songs, and stage requirements.
  • Payment and cancellation: the booking fee, payment dates, and what happens if the event moves or is cancelled.
  • Permissions and termination: the permissions included and how the engagement can end.

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens if the event is cancelled or moved to another date?
Moving an event does not automatically move the performer's booking. The performer may be unavailable, and cancellation terms may still apply to the original date. Payments can depend on notice, work already done, committed expenses, and any valid cancellation fee.
Can the band replace musicians or change its lineup before the wedding?
Some wedding bands use a rotating lineup; others are booked for specific performers. Replacing a supporting musician may be different from replacing the named lead singer. The booking terms determine whether a substitution needs approval and whether the promised band size must stay the same.
