We will send you 2 copies of a contract signed by us.  We can either send the contract via snail-mail, or if you prefer we can e-mail the contract.  You will sign and mail one copy back to us with a $50 deposit which will reserve your date (the other copy is yours to keep for your records).   We accept personal check or money order through snail mail.  The remainder of the balance will be due on or before the day of the event.   Please visit our Price List page for specific pricing information, or we can e-mail or call you with a quote including travel and other expenses. 

Payment:

For the deposit, we accept personal check or money order through snail mail.   You may also pay your $50 deposit via Paypal by clicking the button below.  Please indicate your name, date, and location of event in the Message box when paying so we know who the payment came from!

We require final payment no later than the date of performance. We prefer that it is mailed at least a week in advance, if possible, so that we do not need to bother you for payment during your special event when you will probably be very busy and enjoying yourself!  We accept check, money order, or cash (please do not send cash in the mail!).   The amout you owe will be indicated on your contract, or we can e-mail this information to you.  

Our mailing address is Christine and Jeffrey Nowmos, 121 E. Millbrooke Ave., Woodstown, NJ 08098.  Checks should be made out to "Christine and Jeffrey Nowmos."

Cancellation policy:

Other information:

• We require one armless chair per musician.
• For parties/receptions, we require one 10-minute break per hour of service.  If we are playing for both your wedding ceremony and cocktail hour, we may take a 5-10 minute break in between to allow for set-up of equipment. 
• We need adequate shelter if the event is to be held outdoors. We cannot play in rain, as water can damage instruments and electronic equipment. Most wedding venues and event rental services can provide a canopy or umbrella. Also, please keep electronic equipment in mind when you are choosing instrumentation for unique locations such as on the beach... an electric keyboard is probably not the best option for the beach as blowing sand can also damage it, and if there is no outlet available it won't even work!
• We can provide an elecric keyboard if there is not a piano on site, and will provide suitable amplication if necessary.  If we are providing amplification for ourselves, we'll need access to a working electrical outlet within 25 feet.  If there is no outlet within 25 feet, we can either play un-amplified or you can arrange for a longer extension cord to connect us to the nearest outlet.
