Your Event Music Planner.
The six moments where live music changes your room, what works at each one, and the ten questions you should ask any entertainer before you pay a deposit. Print it, share it with your planner, use it whether you book us or not.
Part one
The six moments that matter.
You don't need music everywhere. You need it in the right places.
Guests arriving
Low-key and live. A duo or soloist at conversation volume sets the tone the moment people walk in — before anyone has a drink in hand.
What works: Swing standards, light musical theatre, acoustic versions of songs you both love.
The ceremony
The processional, the signing and the recessional. Three pieces, chosen with care. This is where a trained voice matters most — there is no hiding in a quiet room.
What works: Ave Maria, The Prayer, a classical arrangement of your song, or a musical-theatre ballad.
Drinks reception
The longest stretch with the least structure. Live music here stops the lull while photos happen.
What works: Upbeat standards, Broadway favourites, requests from guests.
Mid-dinner
The dead zone of every event. Courses are slow, speeches are nervous, energy dips. This is the single best slot for a surprise.
What works: A reveal: singing waiters, a planted guest, a staged interruption.
After the speeches
The room is emotional and warm. A short set here bridges the gap between dinner and the party.
What works: A Broadway showstopper, a duet, or the song that means something to you both.
The party
You need a floor that fills fast and stays full, across three generations.
What works: ABBA. Every age knows every word. Dancing Queen and Waterloo do the rest.
Part two
Ten questions to ask any entertainer.
Ask every act you're considering — including us. The good ones will answer all ten without hesitating.
- Is every performer singing live, or is any of it backing vocals or mimed?
- Can I watch unedited video of this exact line-up performing?
- Who is actually turning up — the people in the video, or substitutes?
- Do you bring your own sound and lighting, and who sets it up?
- Will you speak to my venue and planner directly?
- Will you learn a song for us, and is there a charge?
- How long are the sets, and what happens between them?
- What do you need from the venue — power, space, a changing room?
- What happens if a performer is ill on the day?
- What happens if I'm not happy with the performance?
Part three
When to book.
For a Saturday in peak wedding season, three to six months ahead is sensible, and earlier for the most popular acts. Short notice is always worth asking about — dates come free. Planning a UK event? 2027 is the first year of UK dates in three years, so the best Saturdays will go early.
