Upcoming events

Acts that you have booked should remain booked unless you have chosen to cancel them.

What if my Act Owner has not contacted me?

Please send us an email to: earcandylegacaycustomers@gmail.com. This email address is checked periodically.

No other email or phone number is in operation.

Refunds

We cannot process any refunds. Please make sure you have had contact with your Act Owner in good time before your event.

They are obliged to attend the event they have booked for you.

New Bookings

The main point of contact for bookings

You should continue to talk about your booking directly with the Act Owner. Any outstanding second or final payments will also be made to them directly.

Staff, customers & Performers

We want to thank our talented staff, customers and performers who made Earcandy the company it was. They should be very proud of the team and culture they built.

Our wedding is in one week but we have…

Our wedding is in one week but we have still not received the contact details of our event coordinator, bank details for payment and the contact details of the performer.

We have sent emails and left a message on the telephone system but have not received any reply. We have not been able to get in contact with someone directly over the phone.

Whilst we understand that there are pressures due to Covid, we would have expected that given the imminence of our wedding we would have received a prompt reply.

We think that it is absolutely unacceptable for a company which arranges vendors for weddings to not be on top of things so close to the event. Had we known that we would have had to deal with this added stress of trying to even get into contact with one of the staff in the week before our wedding we would definitely have not engaged this company.

Dear Xilin,

We're sorry for your experience; we waited to speak with you directly before replying publicly.

We are sorry that you had trouble contacting someone from the office to discuss your booking last week, you are right that we could have done better on this occasion.

We have had an unprecedented number of events take place due to the recent postponements, and have focused the team on making sure these events take place smoothly. There is also a significant increase in demand at the moment for customers attempting to make last minute bookings as they have held off until there has been clarity about whether live events were allowed.

We have now increased our team's capacity to ensure that communication is smoother.

As discussed, due to the current situation with Covid, we had to source a last minute replacement for your harpist which we have now done for you. We waited until this situation was resolved before contacting you to run through the details.

We understand that you are happy with the outcome and now feel that this situation has been resolved, and we wish you the very best for your big day :)

We used Ear Candy for my wedding celebration, specifically DJ BlackHeat. The whole process was very easy from booking the DJ to being at the event. We had constant phone calls from the DJ asking what kind of music we wanted and needed and that put our minds at ease. On the night he was brilliant. Took requests and got the vibe spot on. Would highly recommend.

Wedding DJ & Sax Combo - Amazing!

Booked the DJ & Sax combo for my wedding. We had to postpone once due to lockdown but Earcandy were great in offering postponement options. Communications were extremely slow, but I assume a lot of staff were furloughed.
However, everything was worth the wait. Damon (DJ) was fabulous, leading up to and on the day - he read the room perfectly and the dance floor was never empty!! Scott (Sax player) was insane - what an amazing addition to the party! Everyone has been commenting on how great they both were.
Would 100% recommend! Thank you!

What an absolute brilliant system for booking live acts for a party / event. I have not yet had the event (so cannot comment on the quality of individuals provided) but from the point of view of the booking and payment process, plus the consultative approach which was taken in finding the right solution, this seems to be a really good company to deal with

Refund refused! -Cancelled event due to lockdown…

We have had to cancel my husbands 70th Birthday celebrations twice due to lockdown. He is now 71 & we want to cancel the event & have asked for our money to be refunded.
Ear candy have refused to refund our money although the government’s guidelines & rules state that businesses should refund due to the lockdown.
Their response is unacceptable. It’s not as though they missed out on booking the band for another event! Our venue have refunded us their booking fee.
Put things right Earcandy and refund the money.

Hi Barbara,

We're sorry to hear that your daughter has had to cancel her booking a second time, things have been very tough for those planning events till the restrictions lift.

The CMA advice relates to services that have not been provided and we can confirm that your daughter should not have been charged for anything other than a booking fee already. However, the first payment is non-refundable as per the terms and conditions of the booking.

I believe that we have offered to liaise with the Act for you to postpone the booking to a more suitable time as a gesture of goodwill and left your daughter a voicemail on the 25th of March 2021, but we have not heard back yet.

please find further information regarding postponement policies due to covid here: https://help.earcandylive.co.uk/knowledge/what-is-the-covid-19-postponement-policy

If this is something your daughter would like to do, we would be delighted to help, so that you can enjoy the band now that things are opening up.

Totally unethical company!

Making money with the Corona-hardship of their customers and artists!
My daughter had to cancel her wedding because of Covid restrictions and with it the booking made with Earcandy. Contrary to government guidance and general decency Earcandy kept all monies which had been paid to them in advance and refused any refunds.
There are two parties who suffer most because of the Covid inflicted cancellation, the wedding couple and the artists. Either the deposit, which was more than £ 1000 should have been paid back to the wedding couple or given to the artists who need to survive somehow in these difficult times. Instead Earcandy decided to pocket the whole amount themselves stating significant upfront costs without being willing (or able) to disclose them.
This company is taking advantage of others in Corona times! Totally disgraceful and despicable!

….and here are my comments to Earcandy’s response:
- Earcandy is hiding behind their own policy, which states that the first payment is non-refundable. This clause is deemed to be unfair and therefore in breach of the Consumer Rights Act 2015, part 2!
- My daughter canceled at the moment that her 140 people wedding had to be restricted to just 30 people. Who then needs an 8-piece Motown Band? (which would have also counted to the 30). Alternative offers for the day were of no use as the style of the wedding had changed to sit down only to comply with Corona restriction. Other dates were also of no interest as the wedding couple lives abroad now. This is all known to Earcandy
- We were charged £ 1150 and Earcandy kept it all! What justification do they have? They did nothing apart from a few phone calls and a few e-mails! Holding all money back is against official government guidance published on the GOV.UK website under 'wedding-services-coronavirus-covid-19-cancellations-and-refunds'
I maintain my judgement that Earcandy’s is a money grabbing business with no interest in their customers or their performers. Otherwise they would have paid the money back or passed it on to the artists who suffer most in Corona times. Don’t get fooled by the nice language they use.

Dear Jane,

We're sorry to hear of your disappointment regarding your Daughter's cancellation of her band booking.

Unfortunately, as is standard policy with entertainment agencies, we are unable to process refunds for the first payment. This policy was explained to your daughter when she originally made the booking with us.

We are sorry to hear that your daughter has gone through difficulties with her wedding date due to restrictions, and we understand the stress and upset you are experiencing in these unprecedented times.

We are sure that you can understand, just as with our performers, our business too does have costs which we must cover to deliver our service.

This business continuity is for the sake of our future customers, many of whom have postponed their events to future years, and of course, our wonderful performers.

It should, however, be noted that your daughter has not been charged the majority of the fees for the event, including second and final payments.

We have offered your daughter the following options, which she has rejected:

1. Offered a free postponement (in almost all cases) to any date before 2024, so that she can enjoy the band at a time when she can have more guests at her event, at no extra charge, even if our prices rise. We can offer this, even if the date is not currently known.

This option is a popular choice when wedding couples have had a scaled-down wedding with fewer guests, but decided to celebrate a reception at a later date, inviting the number of guests that they had initially planned.

2. Transfer the booking over to a family member or friend

3. Change the booking to a smaller Act or an Act that your daughter feels may suit the setting of the wedding better than what she had initially booked.

Of course, these options remain available should your daughter wish to reach out - and we'll always try to be accommodating where we can.

We wish you and your daughter the very best,
The Earcandy Team
