The Elements are here to provide high-energy, high-quality entertainment for whatever your celebration may be, and we can guarantee a great atmosphere for all age groups. Not sure? Take a look at our testimonials and media! OUR SERVICES As well as the main evening party band, we offer a number of add-ons for different sections of your event including background Jazz entertainment, DJ sets, and wedding ceremony music. We can also offer a Complete Wedding Package - taking care of all things musical from bridal entrance to final sway in a circle! ABOUT THE BAND The band is made up of exceptionally versatile, top-quality professional London musicians who love to use their skills to create a euphoric atmosphere. Crucially, however, the friendships and camaraderie within the group came before any note was played or mic plugged in, meaning that they enjoy and look forward to each gig. This energy is contagious when it comes to show time and the guests feed off the immense sense of happiness and celebration. BACKGROUND ENTERTAINMENT As much as they love to bring high-energy vibes to a full dance floor under the lights, the musicians are equally content tinkling away to themselves under the hubbub of conversation at a drinks reception, providing the perfect level of sophisticated atmosphere. The jazz lineup is most commonly hired as a trio or quartet, but anything from a solo piano vocalist to a jazz quintet is available. SOLO - Pianist or Piano-Vocalist DUO - Piano & Sax or Trumpet TRIO 1 - Sax or Trumpet, Piano, Bass TRIO 2 - Piano-Vocalist, Bass, Drums QUARTET - Sax or Trumpet, Piano, Bass, Drums QUINTET - Sax & Trumpet, Piano, Bass Drums DJ PACKAGE If you'd like the music to continue after the band has finished, one of the bands can stay behind and look after the music for the rest of the night which saves you hiring a separate DJ and second PA system. You can send us a playlist in advance or just leave it to us and we'll read the room making sure the atmosphere is carefully ramped up right till the end of the night. We've found this to be a really popular add-on which can save a huge expense as well! CEREMONY MUSIC Want live music at your wedding ceremony too? Look no further - we can provide you with an excellent pianist and/or singer who will be booked for the main party band later so can be added at a heavily discounted rate. - Solo Pianist - Singer & Pianist - Cellist & Pianist - Worship Band COMPLETE WEDDING PACKAGE Save on the admin time and let us look after all the music for your big day from start to finish! From the bridal entrance and exit to the drinks reception to the first dance and band sets to the final sway in a circle. We are a safe set of hands for the lot - just give us your music choices for each element of the day and we will take care of it all and relieve you of all the stress!

Customer questions

What do your clients love most about your performances?

The band's energy is contagious when it comes to show time and the guests feed off the immense sense of happiness and celebration.

Which venues have you performed at in the past?

A wide variety of music venues, private function rooms, hotels and open-air venues/marquees across the UK and even a villa in a Tuscan wine resort!

Which artists have you been most influenced by?

Stevie Wonder Quincy Jones Aretha Franklin Beyoncé Blues Brothers The Beatles

What is the most high profile gig you've performed?

All of our bookings are private events.

Will the singer be the same as who I see in the videos?

Yes. Occasionally we have had to use trusted deps that meet our high standards, but if this is to be the case for your booking we will be sure to discuss this with you from the beginning.

Do you have different line-up options?

Yes. The main party band comes as an 8-piece: Male and female lead Singers, Trumpet, Sax, Guitar, Keyboard, and Bass Drums. However, this can be downsized to a 6- or 7-piece if needs be. We also provide smaller lineups (typically 3 or 4 of the musicians from the main band) for instrumental background Jazz earlier in the evening.

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

We are very relaxed about the timings on the day. If the arrival time is moved significantly earlier, or the finish time significantly later, or you would like to extend our set length then we would need to discuss that and it may affect the cost slightly, but we are flexible within reason.

Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?

Yes absolutely. We can also have one of the band members stay behind after the band has finished to look after the music for the rest of the night which saves you hiring a separate PA System.

How much time do you need to set up?

90 minutes for the full band. 60 for jazz band,

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

You may make a special first dance request whether on the set list or not. You may then select 6 'Definitely Play' songs and 2 'Don't Play' songs from the list.

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

All sound and PA System is included. Lighting is not included.

Can you learn song requests before the event?

Yes - one request is free of charge. If you would like to request more that are not on the set list then do let us know and we will discuss. We have also taken requests on the night in the past.

I just wanted to say a MASSIVE thank you for playing at our wedding. You were absolutely fantastic, so many people came to me the following day to say how much they loved the band and that you guys made the wedding! I absolutely loved your arrangement of our first dance song, I really couldn’t have wished for more, and your set list was just perfect for getting everyone dancing. Honestly, you guys were just fantastic, i cannot recommend you enough to anyone hosting a party! You have been a delight to work with and had great communication throughout the booking process. It was lovely to meet you and chat with you as well. All in all, such a positive experience.

Our experience with the band was great, from initial contact they were responsive and offered us lots of different options in terms of band members and set length. On the night they sounded fantastic. They did a wonderful bespoke arrangement for our first dance, and the dance floor was full for their entire performance. They also did a great encore which the crowd absolutely loved. Would highly recommend. Liz & Ali
