FAQ

What is The BeatBuds experience?

Our program is a fully interactive music experience facilitated by 2 members of our team. Through our own original song catalog, the use of various rhythmic tools, and little percussion instruments (options available for larger quantities, ‘bulk’ instrument assortments, and ‘party favor style’ instrument bags), we bring early age children on a fun musical adventure. The program caters to ages 6 months to 6 years and is strategically designed to simultaneously entertain and educate through a hands-on musical approach.

Can The BeatBuds come to my location?

Yes! All of our entertainment options are mobile. The location must be suitable to accommodate the load in, performance, and load out of a live band. An exceptionally far distance from load in/out area to performance space, an overabundance of stairs, and an unmanageable rural location are some examples of unsuitable circumstances for us and need to be discussed beforehand as additional charges may apply.

Which BeatBuds will be staffing my event?

Our team consists of many team members. While your event will be staffed by two members of our team, we do not guarantee which members of our team will staff your event. Staffing assignments change constantly and are subject to change without notice.

Can The BeatBuds perform outdoors?

Yes! As long as there is sufficient space, shade, and shelter for us, our gear, and the guests, an outdoor performance space works well. It’s always smart to have an indoor option if the weather is unfavorable. Please make sure that our performance area is on level, dry, solid ground and if on the grass, please make sure not to water it 2 days prior to your event or provide a tarp for the kids and band to play on. We will not perform on sand.

Can The BeatBuds perform indoors?

The BeatBuds enjoys performing as much inside as it does outside. An inside performance may actually become the safest option as mid-year heat and winter chill become more prevalent. In the event of rain, The BeatBuds MUST have an indoor or fully covered space. We will work with you to accommodate your needs. The BeatBuds reserve the right to determine if performance conditions are suitable and if not, The BeatBuds WILL NOT PERFORM and you are still responsible for full payment. We are not responsible for any damages that may occur to the client’s property should the performance space be unsuitable for instrument play, dancing, and hopping.

Can The BeatBuds perform in a park?

Yes! But please check park requirements to make sure live music is permitted and please make sure you have an indoor option if weather is not favorable.

How much space do The BeatBuds need?

We need a space suitable for two BeatBuds, our gear, and the attendees. Our own footprint is about 9x6. We can make most anything work, but for a party of 20 kids, a 17’x17’ area suits us well. But we know that in many cases this amount of room is not available. Our setup is flexible and allows us to work with the space we have. Sure, it may be cramped, but it WILL be fun! Blankets and rugs are encouraged. If you have questions about whether or not your space will work, please contact us prior to booking.

Do The BeatBuds have liability insurance?

Yes! Certificate available upon request

Do The BeatBuds offer party favors?

Yes! Check with us about ADD-ONS when booking your event.

What do I do if the amount of kids in attendance changes?

We understand that guest lists change. If possible, please provide us with at least 7 days notice of any major changes. Additional charges may be incurred.

What is The BeatBuds event cancellation policy?

If a cancellation is made at least 14 days prior to the event, 100% of your payment will be refunded. If a cancellation is made in less than 14 days, but outside of 48 hours prior to the event, 50% of your payment is forfeited and cannot be used toward the cost of a rescheduled event. If a cancellation is made less than 48 hours prior to the event, 100% of your payment is forfeited. In the case of a last minute booking where the booking has been confirmed within 14 days of the event, 50% of your payment is non refundable. As above, if a cancellation is made less than 48 hours prior to the event, 100% of your payment is forfeited.

ALL REFUNDS ARE SUBJECT TO A 2.9% CREDIT CARD PROCESSING FEE
