How Would you like us to fit into your special day?

Why bother booking live music for your wedding? We've all been to that wedding with the embarrassing singer blasting out 'Don't Stop Me Now' or the bored looking string quartet. A live musician's job at a wedding is to help the bride and groom create the aesthetic and vibe they are looking for. We are not the centre of attention, you are. We support you on your big day, reading the room and providing just the right background atmosphere; we help break the ice between your guests; we provide entertainment and add a touch of class and style which you just can't get from a playlist, trust us...

We've put together some packages which, from experience, we know work well. If you have a different plan, or specific idea, please get in touch.

Wedding Package 1

Ceremony and Drinks Reception - £800

This is by far our most popular package, you will get:

- Music for the entrance of the Bride (we will learn a song of your choice)

- Music during the signing of the register (choose from sample repertoire)

- Music for the recessional (we will learn another song of your choice)

------- we can already be set-up with a second PA in a new location ready to transition into the drinks reception --------

- 2 x 45min sets (with short break between) during your drinks reception

- Skype/Zoom calls to discuss all details at planning stage

We use a range of instruments and song choices to offer you variation during the day. We also have heavy duty batteries so can play outside if you would like, just let us know beforehand.

Wedding Package 2

Drinks Reception £600

As a guest at a wedding, the period of time after the ceremony before the wedding breakfast can often feel quite long. While you're getting the perfect photo elsewhere, we'll make sure your guests are entertained in your absence. We can craft our set so that we start subtly as background music and end up playing more lively tunes, reading the room and warming up your guests for the rest of the day. You will get:

- Two 45min sets with a 15 min break in between (fin before 5pm)

- A Skype/Zoom calls to discuss details

Wedding Package 3

Ceremony music - £500

The bride's entrance is the most important, most emotional moment in the whole day, we've got you covered. You will get:

- Music to entertain your guests while they wait for the bride

- Music for the entrance of the Bride (we will learn a song of your choice)

- Music during the signing of the register (Choose from sample repertoire)

- Music for the recessional (we will learn another song of your choice)

We will adapt our set to fit the location of your ceremony. For example, in a small church we would use just violin, guitar and vocals. For a slightly larger or outdoor space we might add drums with brushes, it's up to you.

Wedding Package 4

After dinner music & first dance - £900

Very often at a wedding there is a lull in energy after the wedding breakfast because everyone is digesting their food. Have you ever been to a wedding where this period has dragged on with none of the guests entirely sure what they're meant to be doing? We have, and that's why we designed this package. It's a great way for us to fill this gap in the day, raise the energy of your guests and help you transition from the daytime to the evening.

Here's an example of how this could work for you:

4:00 - 6:00pm Dinner and speeches - During this time we'll arrive and set up

6:15 - 7:00pm We play our first set - we'll start with more relaxed tunes to match the energy in the room, at this stage we're not pressurising anyone to dance if they don't want to, but it doesn't feel like background music either. This is a great time to serve some cocktails...

7:00 - 7:15 - We take a break - we'll play a vibey playlist during this time, as guests are called in for the cake cutting and first dance.

- 7:15 - 8:00 we play our second set - We will start our second set with your first dance request and go straight into a lively number after that. We'll keep this set upbeat throughout and raise everyone's energy.

- 8:00pm - we hand over to a DJ

-------- included in this package --------

- Skype/Zoom call to tailor your exact plan

These timings are just for reference, we can play whenever you'd like us to. Our pricing is based mainly on how much time we'll be at the venue, so if you wanted us to take a break longer than around half an hour between our sets, or to set up much earlier, the quote would be higher, depending on time. We can do additional upbeat set for an extra £100 if you want to continue with live music a little longer.

Travel Costs:

We planned our own DIY wedding in 2022 so we understand completely what it is like trying to plan a wedding and manage a budget. Our pricing is totally transparent, we have no 'hidden fees' and we don't quote clients different amounts. When we were planning our wedding, nothing annoyed us more than suppliers who put 'get in touch for a quote' rather than listing their prices! We put the same effort, attention and expertise into every single wedding we play, and our pricing reflects that.

The packages above cover the total cost to you EXCEPT TRAVEL COSTS. We work these out at 55ppm each way from our house in Bristol (BS16) and for travel over 50 miles, there is also an extra surcharge on top of this towards our time spent while driving. We both have various other types of work, rehearsals and gigs with other bands and musicians and we're renovating our house currently as well. We don't mind driving, but during that time neither of us can earn money elsewhere. If we have a wedding to play in Cornwall for example, this could very well be a 12-16 hour day, for two people. Compare this to a wedding in Bristol where the total time spent might be less than half of that. This is why we charge a surcharge for long distances.

Below is a table to give you an idea of how much the expenses portion of this works out to for different areas of the UK but please bear in mind, for longer journeys it may be substantially more. Please get in touch for an exact quote but hopefully these figures are useful as a rough guide when doing your planning.

Bath - Add £14.00 to your chosen wedding package 

Hereford - Add £69 to your chosen wedding package

Cardiff - Add £58 to your chosen wedding package

Birmingham - Add £104.50 to your chosen wedding package + long distance surcharge
