How can we hire you?

We‘re committed to helping you and your guests enjoy the best live music at the most affordable rates on your special day! 

Your booking fee will cover music for the entire event, including (but not limited to) entry music, background jazz for dinner and a dance set. We suggest booking a 5-piece band as a minimum for your event, as this will enable us to provide the highest level of quality for you, but we are very flexible.

Please note that the above rate applies for the Sydney Metro. Outside of Sydney will include a small extra fee for petrol, and potentially accommodation. Give us a call or make an enquiry on the website if you would like to discuss this.

A 15% deposit will be required when booking the band, which secures your date and covers our rehearsal to make sure that the music is unforgettable.

Please note that deposits are non-refundable.

How long will you play?

We can provide music for any amount of time at your event. Our recommendation is an hour long dance set for maximum enjoyment for you and your guests, plus background jazz over dinner and/or dessert.

We are more than happy to make any type of run sheet work, and include any extras like a first dance, father-daughter dance, or anything else. 

Can you do the ceremony too?

We would love to also provide music for your wedding ceremony if you require it.

Ceremony music will incur a small extra fee, be it solo, duo, trio or more, and can include any style of music that you like. One member of the band is even a professional organist if you’re tying the knot in a traditional church service and need the pipes blaring!

What music will you play?

We love all styles, and pride ourselves on the large variety of music that we can offer. Genres include pop, rock, jazz (obviously), hip hop, soul, R&B, electronic and any other style you can think of. Check out our extensive song list on the website – and we’re happy to take some requests, too.

Can you get people dancing?

We pride ourselves on our ability to get you and your guests dancing. What we offer for our dance sets that sets us apart from other party bands is a live audio crossfade, much like you would get from a DJ, so the music never stops! We are highly committed to making sure that your event has a great atmosphere with world class live music, so your party is unforgettable.

Do You Take Requests?

We are more than happy to accommodate any song requests, however we ask that you let us know what these are at least 2 weeks before the event, so we can make sure that they will be totally unforgettable! 

Do You Do Lighting?

We are more than happy to hire simple lights for your event through our own contacts in the industry. The hire fee will be added on to the final invoice, but we can assure you that the hire will be affordable.

Do we need to feed you?

For events in the Sydney Metro region we would appreciate a simple crew meal from the venue. For all events further away we would expect a crew meal to be provided.

Regarding drinks, that is completely up to you. We do not expect complimentary beverages, and any offered are completely at your own discretion.

Do you have insurance?

We have public liability insurance for all events we perform at, underwritten by Duck For Cover to a value of $20,000, so you can book us with no concerns as far as the legalities go.

What technical requirements do you have?

All we require is a power point within 20 metres of the performance area, and we’re good to go. We can provide our own mics, PA, extension cables and power boards. We are committed to making things as easy as possible for you, and power should never be a stress. We’ll even set up a mic and aux cord for speeches and videos.
