WEDDINGS

From trendy pop-up weddings to grand traditional affairs, we can bring your vision to life and keep guests entertained. 

A typical wedding ceremony booking includes:

• 15 - 30 mins: as guests are arriving, to set the tone for the ceremony.

• 10 - 30 mins: a buffer for delays, as weddings almost always run behind schedule.

• 1 - 2 hours of music for bridal party. A separate ensemble can perform in the background while you get your hair and make-up done. We will keep out of your way and are even happy to set up in an adjacent room.

• 20 - 70 mins: most civil ceremonies are about 20 mins; some religious ceremonies can be over an hour. Music is played for the entrance, signing of the register, exit and any additional elements as needed.

• 15 mins or time remaining: post-ceremony entertainment as congratulations are received and portraits are taken.

• If the reception follows at the same venue, we can relocate and continue providing music until the reception begins.

We can play for as much of the wedding reception as you wish, including:

• Pre-dinner drinks.

• Key elements, such as the entrance of the newlyweds and first dance.

• Just the beginning of dinner service or throughout the entire evening.

PROPOSALS

Make the moment even more special with a group of musicians, playing your favourite songs, exclusively for the two of you.

We understand that you've spent countless hours planning the perfect way to pop the question so we've made the process as easy as possible. It's best to start with a phone call so that we can discuss your ideas. Every proposal is different and we want to get the details correct, right from the start.

From there, we'll provide sample playlists, liaise with your venue if needed and figure out a cover story so that your special someone won't know why we're really there until they see you. After they say 'yes,' we'll continue playing for you to enjoy together. 

If needed, we're happy to recommend proposal and event planners we've worked with before.
