FAQ’s
Planning an event?
We understand how overwhelming it can be and we are here to help! Here are the answers to frequently asked questions.
-
Yes, we do have a set list! It consists of a range of wedding favourites including Pop, Rnb, Soul, Folk and Classic hits that we put our own acoustic spin on! Feel free to reach out and we can email it with you.
-
Generally, you will choose the songs for your ceremony, and if you are having us perform for your first dance or father daughter dance you will choose these also. We have some helpful guides and tips that will make this process easier if you are stuck for ideas or unsure of how many songs required – depending on your type of ceremony!
For our other music sets we usually sing songs from our extensive set list and feel as though we are quite intuitive and know how to pick the right songs for every moment of your day. Our tailor made setlist has been developed from years of experience of playing at weddings and events, just like yours! Looking to get people up and dancing? We have that sorted! Looking to have relaxed and chilled tunes in the background? We have that in the bag too! Should you have any requests we are more than happy to take these on board. As part of our process, we will also send through an optional list for you to fill out that will inform us of songs ‘Not to play or avoid’ on the day.
-
Yes, we can! We have a range of high-quality sound equipment that can accommodate to both small and large events, and indoor and outdoor!
-
We are based in Sydney, however, are willing to travel as far as needed for your special day, provided that accommodation / flights and extra costs are taken care of.
-
Yes, we can still perform! We have a smaller P/A system that is battery operated and made for outdoor events. However, this option does have time restrictions and details will need to be discussed at the beginning of the booking process.
-
We absolutely love being organised with song choices yet understand that it can be super hard to pick songs for one of the biggest days of your life! We ask for chosen songs to be sent through 4 weeks prior to wedding.
-
As part of our process, we like to have a zoom or phone conversation with you to get to know the ‘newlyweds – to be!’ During this conversation we will gather important details, and this will also be followed through with unlimited email correspondence and a booking process to ensure we have all the information we need.
Should you still wish to meet face to face, then we will try to find a time that best fits our schedules and look forward to meeting the happy couple!
-
Of course! We always have a spare wired mic hanging around that you can borrow for speeches and formalities. However, if you are looking to have a wireless mic, we will need to be notified in advance and an extra hire charge will apply.
-
We are definitely open to performing with other musicians and always love having bouncing of other unique musical talents… the more the merrier! We have experience playing with a variety of different musicians including guitarists, pianists, violinists, drummers and should you request an additional musician we will try our best to organise accordingly from the pool of musicians we trust and regularly perform with.

OTHER THINGS TO CONSIDER
-
If you choose the Packages 3, 4 or 5 we will require meals and drinks (non – alcoholic) provided as we will be along for the ride as a full day booking. In between setting up and performance sets, it can be difficult for us to have a long enough break to seek food elsewhere.
-
Picture this! Damian and Belle about to perform at the most picturesque outdoor wedding venue and it starts pouring down rain 2 mins before start time… Safe to say - we had to ditch our umbrellas and lend them to our trusty equipment instead. (We learnt from this one!)
We have definitely been through the ringer with the rain this year, and we can’t stress how important it is to have a backup wet weather plan in terms of set up and layout. Whilst we will always aim to be set up in the perfect ideal location, our music equipment allows us to do what we do and cannot get wet. If there is a sign of rain, we will need to be situated undercover. Please be sure to converse with your venue and have backup safe locations and placings for us should this occur.
-
During our booking process, it is important to let us know if we will be required to set up in more than one place. Often the wedding ceremony is at a different location to the canape’s, which is then a different location to the reception. We like to know in advance so we can best prepare during our bump in if we will need multiple set ups and have this all done before guests arrive.
-
We will usually arrive at your venue at least 2 hours prior to your guest’s arrival to ensure we are beautifully set up with ample time. We will then allow ourselves 45 mins – 1 hour to pack down at the end of the night (This may alter depending on the number of set ups in different locations)
