Frequently Asked Questions
Planning an event comes with lots of details, I’ve gathered the most frequently asked questions to help guide you through my process and what to expect when you work with me.
1. Can I choose the songs for my event?
Absolutely. You can:
Tell me your preferred genres
Or send a list of up to 15 songs per hour of live music
For wedding ceremonies, I’ll need to know the specific songs you'd like for each moment.
During DJ sets, I’ll adapt to their playlist seamlessly.
Custom song requests are welcome — up to 2 songs, submitted at least 2 weeks in advance.
2. Do you bring your own sound system?
Yes, I always bring:
A professional PA system
My own wireless mic
And, if your package includes a ceremony, a separate mic for the officiant
No need to rent additional equipment for standard-sized events.
3. How do I book you?
Booking is simple:
Confirm my availability
Sign a digital contract
Submit a deposit via Zelle: avillasax@gmail.com (AVILLASAX LLC)
Once confirmed, your date is fully secured.
4. Do you perform outside of Arizona?
At the moment, I exclusively perform at events within the state of Arizona, including cities like Phoenix, Casa Grande, Sedona, and Flagstaff.
However, I’m planning to expand my services to other states in the near future.
Thank you for your interest and for considering my music for your special event!
5. How far in advance should I book your services?
Some clients book me 6 to 12 months in advance, especially for weddings.
If your date is still open, I’ll be happy to join you, but the earlier, the better!
Please note: your date is officially reserved and secured only after the deposit is received.
6. How long does it take you to set up?
I usually arrive 60–90 minutes early to:
Set up my equipment
Run a sound check
Be ready well before guests arrive
You don’t need to worry about setup delays or extra fees, it’s all included.
7. Can you perform outdoors?
Yes! Outdoor ceremonies and events are beautiful.
I only require:
A shaded area for the equipment and saxophone
Access to a power outlet (or let me know if a battery-powered setup is needed)
8. What happens in case of bad weather or emergencies?
Your peace of mind is a priority. If anything unexpected happens (weather or technical issues), I’ll always:
Communicate promptly
Offer alternatives
Bring backup equipment if needed
