We are more then happy to play anywhere!
As outdoor weddings are continuously growing in popularity we of course will play anywhere your ceremony is, including parks, golf courses, bushland, the hills, rivers and beaches.
Our only requirement is you please have somewhere for us to play in the shade so we don’t get burnt or heatstroke, and also to always have a backup for us or the ceremony if we have rain. A backup for this means we can continue your special day whether there is rain or shine!!

With the power of our Bose S1 pro speaker we can play anywhere through this incredible battery powered speaker! This means wherever your ceremony is we can play and serenade your guests!
When it comes to your reception however, this speaker is okay if we are only doing live music. If you are using our DJ services then we will need power to run our larger sound system and to run our lighting.

Yes! We love to help and give you suggestions of some of our favourites to perform.
We always suggest that firstly, you discuss any songs or artists that have a special meaning to you and your partner. If you are still looking for ideas, have a look at the lyrics of popular upbeat songs as we can always slow them down for a show stopping aisle entrance or first dance.
For example- “Run To Paradise” - Choir Boys or “500 Miles”- The Proclaimers
-
We always suggest booking as far in advance as possible especially during peak wedding season. Not just for music but for all vendors! This way you are organised, have everything locked in and have first selection of your favourite vendors.

As much as we would love to play non stop for 12 hours, we do need to stop for a breath every now and then. We plan these break times around your timeline/order of events and put on a carefully curated wedding playlist on spotify so their is no point of silence.

If you want more then just our duo, then the trio is right for you!
If your chasing that extra “something” then the added texture and layers of the guitar trio will be sure to create a luscious sound scape.
If you want to pump the dance floor or keep the atmosphere alive then the drum trio is for you. Incredibly versatile as it can be blended into the background while still having a full sound, or you could have it driving the beat of the dance floor and everything in between!
The third is the vibrant keys trio. Not only do you get the versatile keyboard as a third instrument, you also get a third vocalist who’s harmonies are just the icing on the cake. This trio is known for its large sound and versatility, being able to play nearly every occasion!
-
We always check with our clients the dress code of the event. We are happy to dress for the occasion and love a good dress up.
Some of our favourites so far include Christmas in July, Hawaiian New Year, White Wedding, Lord of the Rings Wedding as well as the classics, semi formal, cocktail, black tie.
Above all, we always make sure ourselves and our other musicians are presentable and dressed for the occasion.

Band vs DJ is a battle that is all to common! For us, the main difference we find is based off the music you want to hear for your reception.
A DJ will specialise in electronically produced music, can change sets and do song requests on the fly and will have a broader range of music. A DJ is also great in a smaller space with a smaller crowd as a DJ takes up less room and can adjust sound levels easier.
A band will have smaller style of music available however, the energy brought in from the entire band is infectious and transfers on to the dance floor. Crowd involvement is easier and we can even get that talented friend up for a sing with us. A band will work best with large groups of people, these events then end up feeling like a large incredible concert!
Above all the difference comes down to what you listen to and what gets you up faster to dance the night away!!

This all depends on the package you choose.
For outdoor performances where we only need our portable setup, we only need 15 minutes. For receptions where the DJ booth and live music is being done usually an hour is needed. When combining the two usually around 90 minutes but we will always discuss with the couple.
for corporate events our duos and trios normally take around 1 hour to set up and will always make sure we are setup prior to the event starting as to not ruin your atmosphere.
Private parties and public events we allow for the same time of roughly 1 hour however these tend to be just before we play as these events are less formal (we will always check this and discuss with the event/party organisers)
The band will always take longer and due to so many instruments we try to be set up well before the event starts as to get sound checks in before any of your guests arrive!
-
Of course! We organise a meeting with all our clients a few months before the wedding to go through all the details and get to know you a bit before the big day.
We plan one in person meeting day per month at a local cafe and try to schedule as many meetings in that day when possible. If this date or location does not work for you, we alternatively offer zoom meetings.
If you have an queries at any point during the wedding planning process, our phones are always on and we are always at the other end, ready to help with any questions you may have.
