Customer questions

What do your clients love most about your performances?

We offer a smooth, elegant service matching the high standards you would expect of professional wedding musicians. Our arrangements are unique and the underpinning of our classical musicianship ensures that our instrumental service delivers the perfect ambience to your day!

What if my timings change after I've booked you?

Providing we are given sufficient notice before the day of the event, we can accommodate to changes in timings. We arrive at the venue well ahead of the performance start time and should you need us to arrive earlier (and within reasonable hours), we can of course adhere to this!

How much time do you need to set up?

Please allow an hour for us to set-up at the venue.

Can I pick the songs you play from the set list?

We have a large repertoire and allow our customers to select from this list. We do also have our own recommendations so our extensive list of songs does not overwhelm you!

Is all of the equipment (e.g. PA & lighting) included in your quote?

Our PA system is included within the quote. All bookings are inclusive of the baby grand piano electronic set-up to match the aesthetic of the day!

Can you learn song requests before the event?

We can indeed take song requests prior to the event but will need sufficient notice. If there are a number of requests we may seek to charge an additional fee to learn these songs.
