Frequently Asked Questions

  • Following selection of a performer, act, or band, Luxury 44 Entertainment will provide a contract via DocuSign to the designated responsible party. A 50% deposit is required within five days, along with the signed contract. Payment options include Zelle, Venmo, Cash App, or bank wire (details for bank wire transfers can be provided upon request).

  • You have a five-day hold period after the contract is issued. To secure your date, return the signed contract and submit the 50% deposit within this timeframe. Failure to receive the deposit within five days may result in the date being made available to another client.

  • No. All deposits are non-refundable.

  • No. State sales tax does not apply to live performances, and there are no additional service fees. However, some performances may require hotel accommodations and meals; any such requirements will be detailed in your contract.

  • For local or regional acts, the remaining balance is due 14 days prior to your event date.

  • Typically, bands perform three hours of music within a four-hour window. Breaks can be customized to fit your schedule. Some bands offer a three-hour continuous performance for the same price as a four-hour show with breaks—please consult your Event Producer for details.

  • Some performers offer a four-hour continuous set for an additional fee. Please ask your Event Producer for availability and pricing.

    • Grand exit

  • Yes. All our bands are 100% self-contained and provide everything needed to perform, including:

    • Instruments (backline)

    • Sound system and monitors

    • Microphones

  • No, bands do not provide staging. It is the purchaser’s responsibility to supply a stage or flat performance area. However, bands do not require a traditional stage as long as the performance area is:

    • Clean

    • Level

    • Dry

    • Covered and protected from the elements

  • Stage size depends on the number of musicians:

    • 5–8 piece band: 16′ deep × 20′ wide

    • 8–10 piece band: 16′ deep × 24′ wide

    • 10–12 piece band: 16′ deep × 28′ wide
      Your contract will specify the recommended dimensions for your selected band.

  • Typically, a band requires three to four separate, dedicated 20 amp / 110 volt circuits:

    1. Backline gear

    2. Sound system

    3. Lighting system

    4. (Optional) Additional circuit for larger production setups
      Exact power requirements will be outlined in your contract.

  • Outdoor Events: Performers may refuse to perform outdoors if there is a high chance of inclement weather or if temperatures fall below 55 °F. Weather conditions deemed unsafe or infeasible—such as wet or damp surfaces, high winds, or lightning—are considered a force majeure event. The performance area must be:

    • Clean

    • Level

    • Dry

    • Covered and protected from the elements

    The purchaser assumes all risks associated with outdoor events, especially those without an indoor backup facility. If conditions become unacceptable after setup, the purchaser remains responsible for payment; the band will not reset equipment a second time. If the purchaser moves the performance indoors preemptively and weather does not materialize, bands are not obligated to reset equipment.

  • A “Force Majeure Event” includes any cause beyond the control of LUX 44 Entertainment or the artist that renders performance impossible, impracticable, or unsafe. Examples include:

    • Illness, injury, or death of the artist or key personnel

    • Theft, loss, destruction, or breakdown of instruments or equipment

    • Fire, floods, or other natural disasters

    • Acts of terrorism, riots, civil unrest, or labor strikes

    • Government orders, court injunctions, or other official mandates

    • Acts of God (e.g., hurricanes, tornadoes)

    • Power outages or failure of essential services

    • Inclement weather conditions beyond reasonable control

    If a force majeure event occurs, all performance obligations are excused, and each party bears its own costs. However, if the artist is ready and willing to perform but cannot due to purchaser-related issues, the purchaser must pay the full guaranteed amount.
