Frequently Asked Questions

The following are questions you may have about selecting musicians and about how musicians enhance the beauty of your special occasion. 

Q - What should I look for when choosing musicians for my wedding or other special event?
A - It is important to look for professional ensembles where customer service is paramount. Companies need to be promptly responsive to your request for information. You need to feel comfortable and assured that your particular interests and tastes are being addressed. Small, specialized companies, such as Flute Cocktail, are focused on your individual needs.  We even offer a FREE music selection session so wedding couples can listen to music samples and select the melodies they would like for each part of the service.  In addition, one musician attends the wedding rehearsal to coordinate music cues with the wedding party so all goes smoothly on the wedding day. These are examples of superior customer service. We like to develop a personal relationship with our clients so they are confident in our intent and ability to enhance the beauty of their occasion. 

 
Q - How do I know which music to select? Where does music fit into my wedding ceremony?
A - Many times clients are not sure about what music to select for their special event. They may be familiar with some of the melodies, but not know the title or composer.  Or they may not know which type of ensemble to select. This is where Fute Cocktail can help.  We provide some music samples on our web site and we can mail a music sampler CD upon request. In addition, we offer a FREE music selection session for wedding couples to help them choose music for various parts of their wedding ceremony.

Flute Cocktail normally performs for 1/2 hour prior to the wedding service while people are being seated, and then for the bridesmaids and bridal processional, candle lighting, interlude, and recessional.  We also perform for the cocktail hour and dinner.  Elegant music is also a nice accompaniment to the rehearsal dinner.

Q - Why should I use live musicians at my event?
A - Live music lends an elegant and special ambiance to your special event.  Recorded music does not have the special sound only achieved through a live performance.  In addition, recorded music can not be tailored to the special timing needs of a wedding ceremony.  Flute Cocktail musicians are sensitive to ensuring the musical phrases are blended with the flow of the ceremony.  

Q - How do I know if I am getting a good value?
A - Value is key.  If you are getting exceptional quality and customer service, the money you spend will be worth every penny.  Look for those companies that have exceptional references and longevity and which are responsive to your inquiries. Choose those companies that are frugal with their administrative fees so the cost savings can be passed on to you. For example, those companies spending a lot of money purchasing premier positions on web sites and attending expensive wedding vendor shows will pass that cost on to the client.  Flute Cocktail looks for economical opportunities to list our company so we can keep our fees lower. We depend on referrals. And we hope to count on you to spread the word when you are thrilled with our services.
