What is your most memorable wedding?
This is where the groom shouted a request to the stage 'Tequila' (The song, not the shot!) and our saxophonist started playing 'Tequila', he left the stage, descended on the dance floor, and bride and groom were dancing with him with the whole wedding party shouting 'TEQUILA' at the perfect time! Such a memorable wedding because as they said 'The band felt like old friends, such a laugh and so much banter too!' So memorable!

Describe your typical process with a couple.
After an initial email conversation, I would prefer to have a chat so the couple can get to know me a little behind an email signature. Whether via email or on the phone, I would like to find out about the couple and their big day, a brief sequence of events helps me get to know the running order of the day and where we may fit in best. I would send a tailored quote for our services including travel. Once we have the go ahead to secure the booking and go ahead, I email a booking agreement to be electronically signed, as well as a deposit invoice to secure the booking. Usually 50% of the total amount, but I do offer 2 x 25% deposit installments over 3months should they wish to have the payments spread out a little. Our insurance certificate is also sent across to the couple to pass to their venue with a booking confirmation email. The process is very straight forward and the aim is to propose a package or line up to suit the couple and their day just perfectly. I also offer various other bands and musicians via my entertainment company, most couples will book other entertainment for their daytime and create a wedding package to include live music for most/all of their day.
