Hello Nicholas,

Thank you very much for contacting us. We are available on that date and it would be a honour to become part of your proposel. Just to clarify, will it take place inside the Palau, or at the street?

We can prepare your special song request, and you can take a look of our repertory (attached).

We would ask you for €1.524, all included.

Let us know if it works for you.

Cheers

Hello, thank you for the quick response!
I am so happy it works for you.

The proposal will be inside the Palau, still confirming which room, so I will keep you updated.

The price works.

The only questions I have are: how do I pay? And is there a point of contact person I can text/call so I make sure I can coordinate between you and the venue before and during the proposal day?

Thank you,

Hello Nicholas,

Perfect. An 18% commission is paid online, for FtM.

The remaining payment, €1.250, can be paid by cash on the day of the event if that’s OK for you.

Yes, once you pay the deposit the event is confirmed and then we can give you our contact details to organise it.

Cheers

Hello Nicholas,

Thank you very much for confirming the booking. As you said that we will need to coordinate details with the venue, we let you a mobile phone in order to continue via WhatsApp:

+34 600646228

Cheers

You’re welcome.
And let’s set up a quick time to chat this week so I can get you aligned with the venue.
Does Wednesday work for you?

Hello Nicholas,

Wednesday it could be at anytime before 17h (Barcelona time). What about 16h?

Please let us know your song choices from our repertory before the meeting.

Cheers

Hi, I spoke with the venue. I will need the musicians full names and phone numbers that are coming into the Palau.

When we speak later this week we can go into more detail.

The most important song is Robert Glasper's “Ah Yeah”.   I am thinking for you can start with Vivaldi before we enter so it seems like you are apart of the Palau naturally rehearsing for a concert. Then after we enter and that song finishes. You can play the proposal song (Ah Yeah). And then after she says yes, you can go into the other more pop cover songs

The songs to play are the following:
Spring / Primavera (Antonio Vivaldi)
Ah yeah (Robert Glasper) - proposal song
Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You (Frankie Valli)
Can’t Help Falling In Love (Elvis Presley)

We should be entering the room about 12:45p/1p but I’ll have a person help cue the timing for you to begin.

We have the room from 12-2p, so you can get set up.

Let me know if this all works for you?

Thank you,

Hello Nicholas,

OK with the 4 songs.

Here you habe our names and phone numbers:

Regarding the venue, we would arrive there at 12 in order to have time to set up everything. We will play at the main stage? Or on another room?
