HOW DO I BOOK YOU?
Robyn will write up a contract with all necessary information (location, time and date, total package price, etc.) and send it electronically via 17hats, along with an invoice for the retainer (half of the package price). The contract will be signed by both parties electronically; payment of the retainer can be taken care of electronically or by phone. Upon receipt of the signed contract and retainer, your date and time are secured.
WILL YOU PERFORM FOR MY OUTDOOR EVENT?
Unfortunately, we are currently booking indoor events only. (We will honor all upcoming outdoor events for which a contract has already been sent or signed.)
DO YOU ONLY HAVE A TRIO? WHAT INSTRUMENTS DOES THE GROUP PLAY?
While the Trio Package (violin, viola, and cello) is our most requested group we also offer a Solo Package (violin, viola, OR cello), Duo Package (violin and cello OR violin and viola) and Quartet Package (two violins, viola, and cello).
Will you perform with musicians from outside your group?
At this time we do not accompany singers or add other instrumentalists to our packages. If you have someone who wants to sing for your event and you have also hired a DJ, they might be able to play a track to accompany your singer.
Are you LGBTQIA2S+ friendly?
Yes! RJE is LGBTQ-owned and -friendly.

WILL YOU HELP ME CHOOSE MY MUSIC? WHAT ARE YOUR MOST POPULAR SELECTIONS?
Robyn will give you as much or as little assistance as you'd like while choosing music. A great starting place is our YouTube playlists which group songs together by genre: Robyn James Ensembles @ YouTube
WILL YOU PLAY [SONG I REALLY LIKE]?
We offer a wide range of classical, popular, film, and folk music from which to choose. We will accommodate up to three additions to our repertoire, if possible, starting at $50 per song. You can view our song lists at our Music page. You can also see a small sampling of what we offer in our YouTube playlists: Robyn James Ensembles @ YouTube
HOW LONG DO I HAVE TO CHOOSE MY MUSIC?
Your music selections need to be finalized no later than four weeks before the event. However, we understand that last-minute bookings can occur and will take that into account when possible.
DO YOU HAVE A DEMO/AUDIO SAMPLES?
Yes, we have a few audio and video samples posted on YouTube (more coming soon!). Visit a playlist showcasing our performances here: RJE Samples @ YouTube
WILL YOU ATTEND MY REHEARSAL?
We do not attend rehearsals. All timing, cues, and song concerns will be addressed before the rehearsal (via in-person meeting, phone call, email, or text message).
