I offer a personalised live music service for your wedding, playing acoustic renditions of well-known rock/pop/indie/soul songs from the 60s to modern day hits.
I know too many songs to list them all, but please click here to see a selected sample of my repertoire:
I pride myself on providing the perfect soundtrack for the happy couple and their guests. That's my mission, and I can do it for you.
Every wedding is unique (that's the beauty!) and I am always happy to give a bespoke service. However, I have a simple standard package which reflects the most common bookings I take. This can be used as a start point:
Standard package:
-
2 x 45 minute sets of live acoustic music
-
Ideal to entertain your guests through the drinks reception or wedding breakfast
-
Song selection can be lively and upbeat; or mellow and discreet, to suit your desired vibe, preferences and audience tastes
Additional 'add-ons':
-
Live music before/during your ceremony - Including learning of up to 3 new songs (entrance song, register signing song and exit song)
-
First dance - I will learn and perform a unique acoustic version of your chosen song
-
Playlist - If you book me for multiple interlinking sections of your wedding spread over many hours, I will need a few breaks (I'm only human!). I can provide a suitable playlist for the breaks in live music.
-
Evening entertainment - If you also want live acoustic music for your evening party, I can provide this!
PRICING
I know you will be eager to know how much this is going to cost you... However, I need to factor in other considerations, before providing a personalised quote. Factors such as:
-
How far I have to travel to venue - Petrol costs and the travel time
-
Accommodation - If the venue is more than 2.5 hours away from my home, I may have to stay over the night before (no one wants a musician arriving exhausted from 4 hours on the motorway!)
-
Overall timings/length of the day - If I am required to be there very early to setup, or the wedding schedule requires many hours of waiting between sets, this is a longer working day for me
I pride myself on being affordable, and will always do what I can to find an option and budget that works for you.
Still reading? A few other things to consider...
Don't be limited just by the standard package if you have a more specific vision... Wandering around the garden singing unplugged while the photographer does the group photos? Evening singalong around a campfire? I've done it all, even bingo calling. Just don't ask me to step in as bridesmaid, I look awful in a dress.
I can play different sets in multiple locations at your venue, indoors or outdoors (dependent on weather contingencies!).
I am always flexible and accommodating on the day and do not 'clock watch' to the minute (avoid any wedding entertainer who does this!). If things run over and I need to play a few more songs to keep the party going, that's fine! However, like anyone I do plan my day and my family commitments based on the timings as arranged, and will have a cut off point when I need to leave.
Regarding complimentary food/refreshments on the day, I have no strict rule on this, other than to say the offer is always gratefully received, and sadly I will have to turn down any offers of alcohol while singing as I do not drink on duty ;)
I am always happy to take additional song requests in advance of the day. If there are any I don't already know, I will learn them. The number of specially requested songs will be factored in to my prep time and reflected in your quote.
I am experienced in performing at weddings and 'reading the room' in terms of which songs to play in what order at any given time. I will of course take your direction on the desired mood, but it does not work well if I am confined to playing a whole set with every single song as instructed and ordered by someone else.
I offer unlimited consultation time for my wedding clients (phone, email, in person as required) to finalise details. We'll have lots more to talk about - and some boring but necessary procedural stuff such as my deposit/cancellation policy - but that all comes a bit later.
