Latest reviews of our Wedding Breakfast Musicians in Poole

"We had the pleasure of having Oleg play saxophone at our wedding, and he was absolutely fantastic. He arrived perfectly on time, was warm and friendly from the moment we met him, and his talent truly elevated the whole atmosphere. Oleg is a brilliant musician — every piece he played was smooth, expressive, and beautifully delivered. Our guests loved him, and we couldn’t have been happier with his performance. Highly recommend!"

FAQs about hiring Wedding breakfast musicians in Poole

Take the stress out of hiring musicians with Encore

Can any wedding breakfast musician play my favourite song?

Professional wedding breakfast musicians will often take requests, but you will need to give them plenty of notice. Please also keep in mind that wedding breakfast musicians may ask for an small additional fee to prepare songs that aren't already on their song list. You can view the wedding breakfast musician's song list on their Encore profile.

How much time do wedding breakfast musicians take to set up?

Your wedding breakfast musician will usually arrive about an hour or so before their performance begins to set up and get settled before they start playing. To avoid any delays, make sure the performance space is ready for the wedding breakfast musician prior to their arrival.

My venue has asked for the performer’s PLI & PAT inspection certificates. What are these?

PLI stands for Public Liability Insurance. This insurance covers damage to another person or their property (it is also known as third party insurance). As many of our wedding breakfast musicians are members of the Musician's Union, they are already covered by PLI up to £10 million. PAT stands for portable appliance testing. Most of our wedding breakfast musicians will already have a PAT inspection certificate for their musical equipment/PA system, which they can provide to your venue if they need it.
