We are always 100% wireless when we perform, allowing us to really entertain your guests. We still need a stationary setup where we control the tracks from a laptop, but we can move around within about a 50-foot radius if it’s not too crowded. The more room we have the more space we’ll use!
We’re happy to perform outside when it’s between 50 and 85 degrees and there’s zero precipitation. Because of the sensitivity our our equipment we require shade if the temperature is over 75 degrees.
Celeste is currently based in San Antonio, TX, but travels out of state almost every weekend. Nusheen covers Washington, DC and the surrounding areas, and Cosette lives near Dallas, TX. We travel extensively and often play in a different state every weekend.
Celeste and Nusheen both perform internationally and are happy to travel to wherever your event is taking place.
For most cities in the US, we add $1,000 to cover our travel expenses. That takes care of airfare and ground transportation as well as the extra time and incidental costs incurred. If our clients are booking blocks of hotel rooms for their guests at the venue, we typically ask for one room on the night of the event. If not, we can book that separately and add it to our quote.
Our packages are based on consecutive hours to simplify the booking process. A two hour performance requires us to be onsite for 4 to 4.5 hours from arrival to departure. If we play at two different times those 4 hours can easily turn into 10 or more without any extra compensation. For this reason, we charge separately if you would like us to perform for different (non-consecutive) events throughout the day.
We get asked this all the time! And we consider it a HUGE compliment!! No, none of us are actually South Asian by birth but we have all grown to love the music and the culture immensely. And it makes us smile every single time someone comes up to as at an event and asks this question.
