Weddings
With over fifteen years of experience in the industry - we really understand weddings!
LET'S TALK ABOUT YOUR SPECIAL DAY
How we do weddings
We understand that with so many options available, choosing the right live entertainment for your wedding can be a little daunting. After all, there are so many options to choose from. But don’t worry, we’re here to help.
At Gecko Live, you’ll find that no request is too big — or too small! We’ll work with you to understand your vision and recommend the best live music for your wedding. This means understanding you both as a couple and what you love, as well as your venue style and guests. There are no hidden costs; this is all part of the excellent service and care we give each of our couples.
LIVE WEDDING BAND?
From funk and soul to rock and pop, our wedding bands have it all!
DJ SAX LIVE?
The most flexible event entertainment, fill your dance floor with classic party anthems.
ROAMING & ACOUSTIC
Roaming bands, string quartets and bespoke background entertainment.
How do I find the best wedding band?
We make recommendations of acts based on what we think you’ll love. We can help you find live musicians for just your wedding ceremony or create an all-singing and all-dancing entertainment package that creates the entire soundtrack for your wedding celebration.
This could be a live acoustic act for the wedding ceremony, a magician to mix and mingle during your drink’s reception, and a live show band for the evening.

How do I book my wedding band?
Unlike many other agencies who leave you to organise the finer details of your live wedding entertainment, you’ll talk directly to us throughout the booking process and lead up to the day. Once you’ve decided on your live entertainment, we’ll send you a booking agreement, which is our version of a contract via our online client portal. This will have all the information you will need about the acts you have booked and your schedule. We’ll also introduce you to your own dedicated member of our in-house Gecko team.
We collaborate with you right up to the day to ensure everything is in place and can include the music choices for your processional and recessional, your first dance, and even entrance to the wedding breakfast. We’ll also liaise directly with your venue, and we’ll coordinate your acts, so everything runs like clockwork. We even go as far as to make sure we know the best routes for our performers to take to load in and out of your venue, so it is quick, simple, and discrete.
