Details Gala Planners Ask About

• Attire. Avalon musicians tailor their performance and attire to match a theme.
• Custom music. Performers can learn walk-on music or theme songs. Send requests 4 to 6 weeks ahead.
• One act or two. Many bands move from background music at dinner to full dance sets, or Avalon can book separate ensembles for different parts of the evening.
• Insurance. Avalon provides certificates of insurance when a venue requires one.
• Sound. Bands bring their own PA, and larger ballrooms may need supplemental sound.
