I can liaise directly with your wedding planner/venue manager to arrange set up and equipment drop off for the band; staging; electrical stuff!
We are also happy to work with other bands/musicians/DJs on the evening if you want to mix up the evening with a variety of sounds and styles.
We can play also during the wedding service if you want any classical music and I am happy to help you source classical musicians for the reception as well if that is something you are interested in.
