Running Order
Around 8pm, we kick off with your first dance before moving into our opening live set. At 10pm, the band return for another hour, with huge moments and non-stop party tracks. Between 11pm and midnight, the evening finishes with one final hour of playlist music to finish in style.
From First Contact to Last Chorus
Flexible Timings
Need to use the band’s PA for speeches or hoping to squeeze even more out of the evening party? For a small fee, we offer flexible arrival and finish times for couples who want the celebration to start earlier, run later, and keep the dance floor moving for longer.
Arrival & Setup
We typically arrive on site at 6pm and set up discreetly while your evening guests make their way in. No interruptions, no awkward noise during dinner—just a smooth setup, professional soundcheck, and background music filling the room before the live sets begin.
Lock In Your Date
Once you’ve received your quote, signed our terms, and paid the deposit, your booking is confirmed. From there, we keep everything organised and easy to follow right through to the wedding itself, with clear communication and a final check-in before the big day.
