How we work

Three steps, then we play.

  1. Ask about your date

    Tell us when and where, and which of our acts you like. A price comes back by return.

  2. Fill in the song sheet

    About five weeks out, a one-page sheet covers the timings, your first dance and your favourites.

  3. Enjoy your day

    We are ready before the first dance and play until your venue’s finish time.

Questions

Questions about booking us.

Can we book more than one act?

Yes, most couples do. The duo for the ceremony and drinks and the band for the evening is the usual pairing, with the DJ to finish.

Do you need anything from us before the day?

Your timings, your first dance, a few favourites, anything to avoid and your venue contact. It all goes on the song sheet we send about five weeks before.

What happens if one of you is ill?

A stand-in for every player: we keep trusted stand-ins who know the set, so the night goes ahead as planned.

Can we hear you first?

We send recordings and videos when you ask for a quote. Most venues do not allow visitors at private weddings, so we do not invite couples to someone else’s.

Got a date? We’ll check it.

When, where, and which music: that is all we need to start, and it takes about a minute.

When and where is it?

Roughly is fine. We check the date before anything else.

What is the occasion?

Your date

Most weddings are on a Saturday, but we will check any day.

The venue, or just the town.

Which music are you thinking of?

Choose as many as you like. You can change your mind later.

The music

Where should we reply?

Pick whichever suits you; one is enough.

Whichever you prefer.

Your first dance song, a finish time, or your venue's sound limiter. No payment details, please.
