Why couples choose us

Not one song on autopilot. The set list is where we start; the people dancing decide where it goes next.

  • Played live, not to a backing track

    Every note you hear in a set is played in the room by the five of us.

  • One contact throughout

    The same person answers your emails, fills in the plan with you and is there on the night.

  • A written note for your venue

    A month before, your coordinator gets our power, space and timing needs in writing.

  • Dressed for the room

    Dark suits and dresses that suit a formal room. No stage costumes unless you ask.

Questions

Travel and venues.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel within 30 miles of Altrincham is in the guide prices. Further away, we add the mileage to your quote and say so up front.

Will you play outside these areas?

Yes. We play Lancashire, North Wales and Yorkshire weddings a few times a year. Ask about your venue and we will check the date and the journey.

Do we need to book somewhere for the band to stay?

Not within these areas. For a late finish more than two hours from home, we may ask about a room and add it to the quote.

Larch & Lantern is not a real business. Calls, emails and social links on this demo do not contact anyone, and the forms send and store nothing.

The phone number 0161 496 0730 is from a range kept for drama, so it never connects. To see how a request works, use the form on the contact page.
