How about having a DJ that can also provide “live” music for your ceremony, cocktail and dinner portion to match your tastes and style. It gives your guests the best of both worlds.
For example Barry can play classical guitar for the ceremony, spanish romantic guitar for the cocktail and sing pop jazz standards from the Great American Songbook for the dinner hour.
Jazz
For cocktails or dinner, a three or four piece ensemble which plays a wide variety of contemporary, latin and jazz standards.
“JAZZ SOIREE”… A stylish touch to any cocktail or dinner hour, we create an atmosphere reminiscent of the Paris jazz clubs of the 1940’s. The continental flair is captured with a mixture of light jazz, featured vocal numbers from Cole Porter to Edith Piaf, classic torch songs, and elegant costuming.
Our sultry chanteuses’, Valerie Pierce, Sacha Boutros, or Stellita Marie may be added to lend an element of sophistication to the group with smooth as silk vocalizations of both classsic standards and smoky torch songs. Voila!

Talent FAQ's
Do speakers charge a flat fee or by the hour?
Speaker fees can vary depending on factors such as expertise, demand, and event specifics. While some speakers may charge a flat fee for their services, others may have hourly rates. It’s best to discuss fee structures directly with the speaker or their representative to understand the pricing model.
What is the typical duration of a keynote speech and what is included?
Keynote speeches typically range from 30 to 90 minutes, with the duration determined by the speaker’s expertise, the event’s agenda, and audience preferences. Keynote speeches often include a combination of inspirational stories, practical insights, and actionable advice tailored to the event’s theme or objectives.
Does the scale of the event and audience size affect a speaker’s fee?
The scale of the event and audience size can indeed impact a speaker’s fee. Larger events with a broader reach or higher attendance may command higher fees due to increased exposure and demand. Conversely, smaller events or niche audiences may offer opportunities for more flexible pricing arrangements.
Travel expenses and other costs
Travel expenses such as transportation, accommodation, and meals are typically negotiated separately from the speaker’s fee. These costs vary depending on the speaker’s location, travel distance, and event duration. It’s important to clarify travel arrangements and expenses during the booking process to avoid misunderstandings.
Deposits and securing a booking
Many speakers require a deposit to secure a booking, with the remaining balance due closer to the event date. Deposits are often non-refundable and serve as a commitment from both parties. It’s advisable to discuss deposit requirements and payment terms with the speaker or their representative when finalizing the booking.
Additional tips and takeaways
- Virtual speaking appearances are a cost-effective alternative to high speaking fees, often 10-50% cheaper than in-person rates.
