Question 1

What are your rates?

Accepted Answer

Great question! our rates are available on our booking page. Follow the link at the top of this web page labeled "Book Online," then choose your ensemble (Solo, Duo, Trio, or Quartet) and the length of the engagement to see our prices.

Question 2

Are there any other charges? I don't want to be surprised at the last minute.

Accepted Answer

There are only a couple of cases where we would assess additional fees:

1) There's a song you really really want us to play, but isn't in our playlist and isn't available online.  We do arrangements! Our usual fee to create a custom version of your song is $50 per song.  We'll send you the PDF for your own collection as a souvenir!

2) You want electric amplification.  Usually, if you have a DJ on site, you will want to use their services.  They've already brought the equipment you'll need.  We don't usually need it for our own purposes, but if you have a large group of people in attendance, a sizeable hall, or if you're outdoors and spread out over a large area, we can provide what you need.  $200

Question 3

How do I pay?

Accepted Answer

We require a $100 deposit at the time of booking, either via PayPal or Credit Card. You'll receive a final bill via email one week before your event.  Alternately, you can mail a check with the balance due at any time before that.

Question 4

How do  I know if you're available?

Accepted Answer

Go to https://www.rockcreekstrings.com/book-online "Book Online" from the menu at the top of our website, select select your ensemble size, length of engagement, and date, and if you are able to select the time you want us to be there, we're available!

Question 5

How do I sign on the dotted line?

Accepted Answer

Go to https://www.rockcreekstrings.com/book-online or click the "Book Online" link at the top of this webpage, select your ensemble size, length of engagement, date and time you'd like us to start our performance, then enter your address for your event, fill in the personal information, and pay the $300 deposit via PayPal or credit card.

Question 6

I want to book an extra 30 minutes instead of an extra hour

Accepted Answer

We book by the hour.  We could certainly play an additional 30 minutes, but it'll be charged at the hourly rate.
