Our musicians expect the wedding party to provide a waterproof and shaded covering when performing outdoors. Direct sunlight and rain destroys instruments. If you are planning an outdoor wedding please work out the logistics for a covering with your musicians 1 month prior to the date. A 70 degree day with no wind and direct sunlight can be almost unbearable for a stationary musician, just as a 10% chance of rain can give musicians unneeded anxiety and worry – and we have had complete rainouts on days where there was only a 10% chance of rain.
