Summer and holiday weekends fill up fast — sometimes 4–6 weeks out. For the best availability, we recommend booking at least 2–3 weeks in advance. That said, if you have a last-minute event, reach out anyway — we'll do our best to make it work.
No stage needed. We work in backyards, living rooms, banquet halls, bars, breweries — anywhere there's enough space for guests to stand and sing. We just need access to standard electrical outlets (we'll confirm details when planning your event).

No problem. We bring our own large lyrics display — it's part of the standard setup. Your venue doesn't need to provide any AV equipment. We're fully self-contained from sound to screen to lights.
Absolutely. We host everything from kids' birthday parties to adult corporate events. Our host adjusts the energy and song selection to fit the crowd. For family events, we keep things clean and age-appropriate — just let us know the guest mix when you book.
