Weddings Packages
We will tailor our music to suit your requirements.
As a guide we have 4 basic packages as a starting point:
1. Music for Ceremony only (approx. 1.5 hours)
This includes background music as your guests arrive, all ceremony requirements, including hymns if having them.
2. Music for Drinks Reception only (approx. 1.5 hours)
Background music as guests enjoy drinks reception prior to dinner being called.
3. Music for Ceremony and Drinks Reception (approx. 3 hours)
This is a combination of the Ceremony and Drinks Reception, from guests arriving for your wedding service, throughout the drinks reception until Dinner is called. There will be a break between the service and drinks as we usually need to move location within the venue.
