Find out the answers to some of your questions about booking The Hey Yahs for your event.
How do I book you?
You can contact us via our contact form or by email or phone. We are happy to discuss your event needs and any queries you may have prior to booking us.
We will then check and confirm availability for your event date and issue a booking agreement with all the details we have agreed. This includes all terms and conditions relating to the booking.
What are your timings?
We like to set up and sound check before the event starts, ideally prior to the venue being used by you and your guests, to minimise any disruption on the day. Alternatively we can set up at a suitable time whilst the event is happening and will be as discreet as possible.
Playing times are typically 2 x 45mins sets with a break in between. We recommend other activities and food isn't served whilst the band is performing, so you are free to dance the night away!
We can be flexible to suit your event timings, so just let us know what your plans are. From our range of experience and event management expertise, we can advise on what timings tend to work best for your type of event too.
Do you do requests?
If you would like a specific song played e.g. for yout First Dance, please let us know in advance of the event. It may already be on our playlist.
If a requested song is not on our list or you are looking for something a bit different or more bespoke, we are happy to put something together for you. An additional fee for arranging and rehearsing the music will be charged for this service. Ideally we ask that you give at least 6 weeks notice of any song request.
We compile our setlists to suit each event, using our professional experience of performance, knowing what works best musically and to ensure guests remain entertained throughout. We are happy to discuss the set with you to make sure we know what feel you want for your event.
How much do you cost?
We offer a range of price options, with our variety of musical line ups. Our prices factor in the type of event, the location, timings, and your budget. Please speak to us about your requirements and we can discuss pricing options to suit your budget.
We ask for a 25% (non refundable) deposit to confirm the booking and will issue a contract agreement to establish all details. Final payment is required in advance of the event date and will be invoiced when due for online payment.
Can i book a DJ or other music with you?
We provide background music in between our sets inclusive of our fee.
For an additional fee, we offer a manned DJ service with one of our Hey Yahs performers up to midnight. You can also book one of our amazing professional DJ packages to work alongside the band and continue the party vibes up to 2am.
If you would like to provide your own background music playlist for us to play via our PA, we can also manage this for you.
We also offer a range of other music options to enhance your event, get in touch with us for more information.
