COCKTAIL HOUR
Do you provide music for cocktail?
We offer several cocktail hour options ranging from curated background music to live acoustic duo or trio performances. It's the perfect way to keep the atmosphere lively while guests mingle before the main reception.
(All packages come with a professional sound system.)

BAND CONFIGURATION
Can we adjust the number of performers?
Yes! Our standard group is a 6 piece, but we can expand or scale down depending on your event’s needs.
5
EMCEE SERVICES
Will someone coordinate the flow of our event?
Yes, our lead singer doubles as your emcee, coordinating entrances, dances, toasts, and keeping the flow seamless. Wireless microphones are also included for speeches.

BAND MEMBERS
Will the same musicians from your videos perform at my wedding?
Yes! Jumper is made up of permanent members who are partners in the band. A substitute would only ever be used in case of an emergency.

SPECIAL SONG REQUESTS
Can the band learn custom songs?
We'd love to! We'll learn up to three songs that aren't already in our repertoire with at least 60 days' notice. Whether it's your first dance, a meaningful family song, or a surprise dedication, we'll make it happen whenever possible.
8
PRIVATE RESIDENCES
Will you play at a home or backyard wedding?
Yes! As long as certain setup requirements are met, we’re glad to perform at private residences and outdoor spaces.
Requirements:
-
Stage or solid flat surface (dance floor, pavers, driveway—not grass, dirt, or sand)
-
Two 20-amp circuits dedicated solely for the band (not shared with other vendors)
-
Full band setup must be completely covered and protected from the weather
-
Clear, flat pathway (or driveway access) for moving equipment to the stage

ENTERTAINMENT DURATION
How long does the band play for?
Our standard performance includes three 50-minute sets with short breaks in between. We'll work with you and your event coordinator to create a timeline that makes the most of your entertainment and keeps the energy flowing throughout the evening.
​
To get the full performance time you've booked, it's important to keep the event running as close to schedule as possible. Delays to formalities such as dinner service, speeches, or special dances can reduce available performance time, so we'll help coordinate with your planner or venue to keep everything on track.
10
LIGHTING
Do you provide lighting?
Absolutely. We include stage lighting with our performances to complement the music and create an inviting atmosphere for your event. If you're planning a larger production or have specific lighting needs, we're happy to discuss additional options.​
