How do I go about hiring a band or disc jockey, once I've decided who I want?

Signed and accompanied by your deposit, within 10 days. We then forward the
paperwork to the artist for signing.  You will receive a final copy of the agreement with
all three signatures, yours, ours, and the artist's.

The whole procedure takes only 21 days. We discuss all charges with you before you
sign any papers.
If your event is a wedding, bar mitzvah or bat mitzvah, we'll send you a procedure form
along with the agreement to be signed.  This procedure form allows you to specify the
performance details you want. It also gives you the E-MAIL of the artist.

You should return the completed procedure form to UFORIA at least 4 weeks prior to
your event. SEE EVENT-PLANNER FORM

Is it possible to view the band or disc jockey in a live performance before I decide?

Yes. Conditions permitting, we do allow this courtesy under certain guidelines:

We ask that viewers be appropriately attired in dress clothes and behave discreetly at
all times.

We ask that you arrive at least 2 hours after the function has begun. With dinner over,
you'll hear a better mix of dance music as well as being less conspicuous.

We ask you to recognize that many places discourage viewing as a matter of policy.
There is always the risk of being asked to leave.  UFORIA cannot be held responsible
for such inconveniences.
We strongly urge our clients to take advantage of the regularly scheduled showcases.

Do I need to meet with my band or DJ?

Not usually. Ninety-five percent of the time, event planning can be handled entirely by
telephone and/or email. In the event that you want to meet personally, most of our
artists will be happy to meet with you.

Will the band learn special songs for my occasion?

Since all our bands are experienced at functions, they have extensive song lists
representing virtually every period and style. Nevertheless, the band will be happy to
learn one or two songs for you, as long as you provide the music (sheet music, tape,
Cd, etc.) and lyrics (a lyric sheet)    4 to 6 weeks ahead of time. However, the band
reserves the final right to exercise its professional judgment.

Will the DJ provide material I request, if it's not in his library?

The DJ will be happy to play a tape or CD provided it is supplied in advance. The DJ
cannot make specific purchases of requested material.

How can I arrange for them to play special dances during the wedding?

You'll receive a wedding procedure form in advance that lets you specify all the details
for your first dance, special dances, last dance and more.                                                      
    Visit our  
WEDDING PROCEDURE FORM  page to see an example.

How can I arrange the candle lighting ceremony and other details of my bar/bat
mitzvah?

You'll receive a special procedure form in advance that allows you to specify how you
want the band to handle all introductions, ceremonies, songs and special activities.
Visit our BAR/BAT MITZVAH FORM page to see an example.

How do you handle payment?

Your 50% deposit, payable to UFORIA ENTERTAINMENT, is due with your signed
agreement within 10 days of the issue date.  This deposit reserves the artist for you.
We accept: CASH, Visa or MasterCard CREDIT OR DEBIT.

The balance is to be made payable to UFORIA ENTERTAINMENT and is due on the
engagement date. The balance due can be paid by:  bank draft, money order, or cash.

How do you handle cancellations?

We require your written confirmation of cancellation, signed by the person whose
name is on the agreement.

If the artist is able to fill the same date and time with a similar engagement (wedding,
bar mitzvah, banquet, etc.), then a refund check for the deposit, minus $200. Handling
fees, will be issued to the purchaser.

If the artist is not able to obtain a replacement engagement and the cancellation
notice is received 180 days or more in advance of the engagement date, the
purchaser forfeits the full deposit.

If the artist is not able to obtain a replacement engagement and the cancellation
notice is received less than 180 days in advance of the engagement date, the
purchaser is liable for the full basic charge as stated in the contract.

What happens if the band changes its members before my engagement?

We always notify you of any change in front personnel - vocalists or key players who
are unique to the band's look and sound. In this event, we will also give you a location
to view the replacement artist or send you a demo if available. If you are not satisfied
with the replacement artist, you may cancel the engagement and receive your deposit
back, less $200. Handling fees.

What happens if the band, disc jockey, or other group breaks up or is unable to
perform for my EVENT?

It hardly ever happens. But if the ARTIST disbands or is unable to perform, we'll either
find a replacement artist that is acceptable to you or refund the deposit in total, as
stated in the agreement.
