Is it possible to view the band or DJ 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 our 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 CD, MP3 or tape
provided it is supplied in advance.
The DJ cannot make specific purchases of requested
material.

How can I arrange for special dances during my wedding?
You'll receive a wedding procedure form in advance
that lets you specify all the details for your first
dance, special dances and last dance.
Visit our Wedding Procedure Form for an example
and additional planning information.
✦
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 Procedure Form for 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, check, Venmo and Cash App.
The balance is to be made payable to UFORIA
ENTERTAINMENT and is due 2 weeks prior to 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, such as a wedding,
bar mitzvah or banquet, 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 cancellation notice is received less than
180 days in advance, 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,
including 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, DJ or other group breaks up or is unable to perform?
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.
✓
How do I go about hiring a band or disc jockey once I've decided who I want?
The agreement should be 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 less than 21 days.
We discuss all charges with you before you sign any
papers.
♡
What happens after I book my event?
If your event is a wedding, Bar/Bat Mitzvah or other
special celebration, 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 and also gives you
the email address of the artist.
You should return the completed procedure form to
UFORIA ENTERTAINMENT at least 4 weeks prior to
your event for best results.
