OUR SERVICES
Much of our success is in our ability to
fully service our clients in a way that surpasses our competition. Our goal is to help you create a
worry- free and smooth flow to your day and evening. Below are some additional services we offer to
enhance your experience, as well as some information regarding Art Company FAQ’s. We look forward to
planning with you!
Flexibility with Band size
Regardless of the size of the Band / Orchestra the integrity of our music
is guaranteed. Our showcase of entertainment is our 12 piece
Orchestra. However, we also book in any number of pieces you desire
from 4 to 16 members to accommodate a smaller venue, budget or
intimate gathering.
Consultation & Creation Process
Can we all sit down together to plan out the evening’s festivities? We hope so! We rely on the planning
process to get to know you. Feel free to call us at anytime throughout your planning to create and bounce
ideas around. Art Company is unique in that we are completely accessible to you.
Early Set up of Equipment
Your stage is set, the lighting positioned, and a sound check has been run before your guests enter the room.
While this may seem logical to you, most bands and orchestras agree to be set up only one hour before their
contracted start time! We believe this leaves too much preparation to the last minute. The key to a smooth
evening begins by starting preparations early at the venue. We choose not to charge for this additional time
spent. We believe this service contributes to our standards of excellence.
Please keep in mind it takes our crew 3 hours to set up and a full sound check.
Professional Sound Engineers
Venues range from intimate settings to large ballrooms, and have different acoustics. Art Company Orchestra is
accompanied by at least one professional sound engineer on every performance. Our professional sound engineers
ensure the proper volume and mix all evening, from the dinner set to the final number.
Cutting Edge Equipment
Art Company Orchestra uses only the best in sound equipment with Bose technology which boasts the highest quality
sound with a sleek size and design. Our high quality wireless microphones allow us to move about your crowd!

“alternate?players for each singer and instrument. Great care has been taken to ensure these
professionals are familiar with our show.
Overtime/Contracted Time
Most weddings are booked for a standard 4 hour time frame. There is usually a price reduction
for 3 hours. We are happy to play for longer and shorter periods, and of course we will continue
playing if the party is going past your contracted time! We only ask that you determine the
overtime before the last half hour of contracted end-time so we are prepared to modify the flow
of the evenings end.
If your contract is for 4 hours, 30 minutes of overtime is 1/8 the base price of the band!
Easy math! We will work with you ahead of time to create a best estimate for the time needed
in our consultation.

Most events are in the $1500.00-$6000.00 range. Our pricing matrix determines the charges for a
performance, and is based on the following factors: month, day of the week, size of band, and hours
of performance. Additional charges may apply for travel outside of North East Ohio.

Please contact our office for pricing that fits your particular event.
