Blue Thunder Entertainment
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How can I be sure the entertainment I choose through Blue Thunder
Entertainment will be good?
Blue Thunder Entertainment contracts only with established, professional,
quality musicians. Through our years of experience, we have built
relationships with many of the finest musicians in the Indianapolis area,
and feel confident that you will find any group hired through BT
Entertainment to meet or exceed your expectations.
2. Will I have a chance to hear a demo before hiring a group?
Yes. Please visit our Audio page to hear a small sample from each of
several of the groups available through Blue Thunder Entertainment. You
can also request a CD of sound samples by calling or emailing us (contact
information can be found at the bottom of any page in our website), or by
using our contact page.
3. Can I see a group perform in person before hiring them?
Yes! Blue Thunder Entertainment will try to accommodate any requests to
see a group perform live. Any scheduled public performances will be open
to you of course, with any ticket prices or door fees your responsibility. We
will provide entrance to any dances or concerts free of charge that we are
able to. While private events such as weddings, receptions, or private
parties are not usually accessible, exceptions to this policy will be at the
sole discretion of our client, and any visiting guests will need to dress
appropriately for the occasion, and be a discreet presence.
4. How much will it cost to hire a group?
That depends! Please fill out our Contact page or simply call Don at
(317)748-1725 to let us know what kind of group you're looking for, and for
what kind of occasion! Rest assured that you will be given concrete prices
once we know what your needs are, and the prices will be clearly spelled out
on your contract. Performances for our many different groups have ranged
from $150 to $3,000, so you can see why we need some details before we can
give you a meaningful answer to your question!
5. Are there any other extra charges?
No. Everything will always be completely documented in a contract for our
mutual understanding and protection. If you request anything that would
require additional costs due to additional personnel, rental fees, travel,
lodging, purchased music for special requests, etc., this must be contracted
and arranged in advance. WE WILL NEVER POP ANY "OH-BY-THE-WAY"
CHARGES ON YOU EVER!
6. Will the musicians dress appropriately?
Yes. Always. All musicians will dress in formal attire (Tuxes) for weddings
(ceremonies and receptions) unless specifically requested not to by the
wedding party. For other events, the dress will always be appropriate for
the event.
7. Can I request a specific song not on a group's play list?
Yes. We can make almost any request work as long as we are provided
appropriate lead time (usually 60 days) to obtain necessary arrangements
and rehearse the songs. In some cases, additional costs for purchase or
arranging of a requested song will be charged, and these costs will be
discussed with you and clearly indicated in the contract. Please feel free to
ask for a special song!
8. Does Blue Thunder provide entertainment outside of the
Indianapolis area?
Yes. Our groups will be happy to perform for your event. Any performances
contracted outside a certain distance from Indy will incur a modest travel
fee, which will be clearly identified in your contract. Travel to suburbs of
Indianapolis are not charged an extra fee.
9. Can we use your microphone for toasts and announcements?
Absolutely! Any group that uses a PA system will be able to provide use of
the mic for toasts and announcements. We can also make announcements for
you at no additional charge.
10. How far in advance should we book entertainment?
Obviously, in order to ensure availability, contact us as far in advance as
possible. But if you have a last minute need for entertainment, don't
hesitate to call! Blue Thunder Entertainment has a extensive list of
performers, and can often offer entertainment on short notice!
