Hi Will - now the dust has settled from the weekend we just wanted to say thank you so much. You guys were awesome all day. From the aisle song, to the acoustic set, to the dance floor, everyone had a great time and were raving how good you were. The dance floor was never empty which is always a good sign! Hopefully it was a good gig for you guys too! We gave the venue and the photographer your details as the both thought you were great and wanted to add you to their recommendation list! Thanks again!

Our standard is 2x60 minute sets but we know weddings don't always run to time so we can be flexible on the night! If any timings change in the lead up to the wedding just keep us updated so we can plan accordingly.

Yes, we have a great PA system so can have music playing when we don't perform live.

Around 90 minutes
