Wedding Ceremony

The key moment in your special day and for something so important, trusting a professional like me is one of the best decisions you can make. With a portable, light-weight, battery powered system with microphones that’s ideal for indoor or outdoor Ceremonies, I can cater for locations like beaches, parks and reserves where power is not an option..

I’ll take care of the music as guests arrive, the Processional (walking down the aisle), the Register Signing and the Recessional (as you exit as Husband & Wife) while you and you guests focus on the special moment.

 

Wedding Reception

Let’s party! Celebrate your special day with family and friends without having to worry about the music. When it comes to the music, I’ve got it covered. I’m a maestro, able to read the crowd, know what’s hot…and what’s not so sit back and relax!

I don’t take up much space. I’ve got a professional and tidy set up so no need for tables from the venue and no unsightly cables showing.  Top-of-the-range equipment ensures crystal clear sound and just the right lighting to go from ceremony vibe to party time but with a range of Enhancements and Photo Booths to add extra wow if needed.
