Hello,

My name is Lisa and I want to thank you for considering CANTA for your live entertainment on your special day. Here are a few basic things that you might be wondering about. I know you will have more questions the further along you get in the planning stages but this might help you for now. Prices will vary based on location, venue and size of room. Please, feel free to call with questions you might have any time on our 24-Hour Voice Mail 817-218-8890 or E-Mail at lisaram@flash.net for information regarding our next live performance.

• Time-wise, we cover a total of 4 hours by performing 3 one hour sets with 2 thirty minute breaks. We guarantee you 3 hours of live music in a 4 hour time span. Breaks will coordinate with cake cutting, toast, bouquet and garter toss etc... it’s your day so we’ll work around you!

• Please submit one or two CD's with 10-12 twelve songs each that are not on the CANTA Playlist to be played during breaks.

• We typically dress formally for weddings as seen on Corporate page.

• If you have one or two special song requests that are not on our current list, just let us know 60 days in advance so we can write charts and schedule a full band rehearsal to prepare for your special songs well in advance.

• About 30 days prior to the wedding, I will e-mail or fax you an up to date song list.We ask that you look it over and mark 4 or 5 songs that you absolutely LOVE so we’ll be sure to include them on our play lists. We also ask that you mark 4-5 songs you absolutely HATE so we won’t include them in our set list.

• We typically start the evening with a “dinner set.” That means nice and easy background music while your guests mix, mingle and eat. This set is mostly instrumental featuring the horn section and guitarist. This set will appeal to the grandparents and older guests who prefer music of a different era. Remember, we want to make EVERYONE happy!

• By the time we start our second set, people are finished eating and generally are ready to get the party started. So, we do just that, kicking off with non-stop dance, disco and soul. We’ll slow it down once or twice per set to let them catch their breath and get a little closer. (We’ll include Country music upon request)

• Standard electrical requirements- Six separate 20 amp circuits labeled.

• For shows over 500 please contact 817-218-8890.

• Standard Stage Requirements- 16’ deep by 24’ Wide.

• Bare minimum 12’ deep by 20’ wide

• Please note that we DO NOT drink alcoholic beverages at any private event, even if you say we are welcome to the bar. We’re working and don’t think it’s appropriate to drink on the job.

• A 50% deposit is required upon receipt of contract to guarantee the date.

Thanks again for considering CANTA and I look forward to hearing from you!

 

 

A Few Comments from Happy Clients!

CANTA played at our daughter's wedding in Paris, Texas. It is a fabulous band! CANTA played the perfect background music during dinner and then revved it up for the dancing. I've never seen so many people dance for so long. The variety of instruments and wonderful vocal were a hit. Paris and our entire out of town guests (which were numerous) hadn't seen anything like them. So, please forward this and tell them thank you, thank you, thank you. I didn't have a chance to tell them after the bride and groom left.

You all were soooooooo goooooodddd. We have had nothing but great things said about the party, the band, the food, everything! Your band is the best! I think you guys were a big hit. Let me know where you’re next and thank you for making our party such a great success!

Lisa-
Thank you! You guys really made our party a success and we can't thank you enough for that. We will definitely keep an eye on your website and try to come out to see you play. We look forward to seeing more of you in concert- you really worked well together and everyone in the group was very friendly and approachable. Our friends really enjoyed seeing you play –especially the former band geeks, like Kyle... :)

Only one word describes CANTA that's, Excellent!! My wife and I and my brother Rick would like to thank you for adding a touch of class to my parents 50th Wedding Anniversary.
