Need-to-Know Tips Before Booking

Which band suits each stage of your celebration?

Jam Ses­sion or Chique = pol­ished evening sets
Kites = per­fect for nat­ur­al-light recep­tions
MTV Addicts = throw it back and get every­one danc­ing
The Darts = ele­gant groove-packed sets for clas­sic lovers
Hori­zon = maxed-out ener­gy, stage pres­ence, fes­ti­val-style spectacle

What’s the usu­al coverage?

Expect two main live sets (typ­i­cal­ly 60 min­utes each), with a pos­si­ble acoustic or DJ slice in between bands to tai­lor the hours to your timeline.

How many breaks & space needed?

A band slot of 2.5 – 3 hours total usu­al­ly cov­ers set­up, per­for­mance, and tear­down. Ask for dimen­sions and access advice before day-of to make plan­ning seamless.

Can I hear the band live before I book?

Since most per­for­mances are at pri­vate wed­dings, oppor­tu­ni­ties are lim­it­ed. How­ev­er, many bands have live show­case videos and we’ll let you know if they have any upcom­ing pub­lic gigs.

What hap­pens if tim­ings change on the day?

Wed­dings rarely run like clock­work, and that’s fine. Our bands are flex­i­ble and used to adjust­ing their sets to fit with speech­es, din­ner ser­vice, or unex­pect­ed changes.

Do I need to pro­vide a stage?

Not nec­es­sar­i­ly. A flat, sta­ble space works well, though a stage can enhance vis­i­bil­i­ty and atmos­phere. If you’ve booked a mar­quee or barn, we’ll talk through the best set­up for your cho­sen band.

What do bands need from me on the day?

A secure per­for­mance space, access to pow­er, soft drinks, and an evening meal for the musi­cians. These small details keep the per­form­ers ener­gised and help deliv­er a bril­liant show.

How far in advance should I book?

As soon as pos­si­ble. Fri­day and Sat­ur­day wed­dings book up quick­ly, often up to 18 – 24 months in advance. If you’re plan­ning a week­day wed­ding, you’ll often have more flexibility.
