Booking stage
What time would the band start?
We can accommodate to any plans you might already have however we can offer our advice based on our ten years experience performing and organising these events.
​
Depending on what package you go for depends on what time we arrive. We usually arrive one hour before your guests are due to arrive in order to set up and sound check. We like to avoid loading in equipment while there are guests in the room as we aim not to disturb the flow of the evening and create a great impression right away.
​
If you booked our DJ service the DJ will commence right away after our sound check.
​
We like to cut the cake, start the first dance and then kick off with our first performance. Peak summer times it is important not to start the first dance too early as guests will be enjoying the sunset out doors in most cases. Something that we feel is very important through the course of the evening is when to release the buffet as performing while people are eating can hinder the atmosphere. We advise for people to eat while we take our break , this is something to consider with the venue and the wedding coordinator.

What Music do we play? and can you make requests in advance?
The clue is our name, we perform songs from each Decade starting from the 60s right the way up to modern day. We cater for 99% of the audience and perform with maximum energy and crowd interaction. You can make requests for the DJ section and even have complete control over the playlist. However we have it covered with over four hundred perfectly selected party songs that we play each week.
