WEDDINGS - Wedding FAQ's
How long do they play for?
2 x 1hr, or 3 x 45mins
Can they play for longer?
Normally, the sets they offer are enough. However, if you require an extra set there is an extra charge. This is usually priced at £400 as the guys will play for up to an hour.
How long does it take to set up?
The guys need about an hour and a half to set up as it takes this long to get ready and sound check everything to get the best sound from your venue.
What time will they get there?
InDefinately will arrive two hours before they need to start and set up ready to play when requested. Please note: this is flexible, as they know some events vary in time and space. If you require the band to set up before the service and/or wedding breakfast, there is a charge of £300 which covers cancelled work commitments the band may have. (This is discussed at the time and cannot be wavered on any discount or Special Offer weddings)
Do they Travel?
The Band has played all over the UK and internationally. They simply charge 50 pence per mile if your venue is over a 30 mile radius of the office located in Prestwood. If you are booking the Disco as well, there would be a second charge for this as 2 vehicles would need to make the journey. Please note if an overnight stay is required, there would be an additional charge (at cost) for the hotel stay (B&B). European travel is charged at cost on the same basis.
What time do they play till?
All charges are for setup and performance until 12 midnight. An extra charge of £50 per hour per person is added thereafter. Please note that if the DJ is required till 1am, the rest of the band will also be there as the music all comes through the same PA equipment.
What do they play?
Look at the extensive Song List. This will give you an idea of what they play. However, as they play by request, there is always something asked for that’s not on there. If they know it and it’s suitable and fits, they will play it.
How much power do they need?
The band require 4 x 13amp plug sockets, two either side of the stage at a minimum.
Do they require staging?
If your venue has staging, the minimum amount needed is 16’ x 8’ which is generally 4 pieces of normal stage decking. This would be for the 4-piece. 20’ by 8’ is required for the 5-piece and 24’ by 12’ for the full function band. This is the ideal size but they can breath in if necessary. However, if staging is unavailable, the Band are more than comfortable playing on the floor, or for an additional cost, staging can be supplied.
Will they play our First dance?
Yes, where possible, they will learn a song for your first Dance
We don’t have anything in mind, what suggestions do have for first dance?
Any song that means something to you both can be given the InDefinately treatment, but if you are stuck, please look at the First Dance song list.

Do we need to supply Drinks?
The band will require soft drinks for when they play. This can either be provided before or with a tab at the bar. This would usually include one drink when setting up, one per set and one at the end of the night whilst packing down. Soft drinks is all that is required. However, please note, at most hotels, soft drinks are more expensive than a pint of beer!

Where can we see the band?
Please see the Public Gigs page, but also ask for a referral as some gigs may be better suited to what you require. (Some venues can get a bit heavier (rockier) than others).
The band were quite rocky when we saw them. Is this what they will play?
The band’s music really depends on you and your guests. They are not generally too rocky at weddings as they play lighter music that you can dance to.
Can they perform with noise limiters?
Yes, but notice of this is handy to have because they will need to bring electric drums, as the acoustic kit is often too loud.
