FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (Part 1)
Hello, everyone! And welcome back to my blog.
Yes, I’m still very much learning as I go with this whole blogging thing, but I will aim to be as consistent as possible and try to provide new, fun topics, facts, tips, and all sorts of stuff.
Today, I thought I’d go highlight 3 of my most frequently asked questions. Hopefully after reading through these, any logistical concerns you had about booking live music entertainment for your upcoming wedding will be a thing of the past.
So, let’s begin!
Do you provide your own PA system / Lighting equipment?
Yes, I provide my own top class PA system for the best live sound. It is an RCF Evox JMIX8 and it sounds incredible. It is extremely versatile so it can be used for any live music performance, big or small. It’s also great for DJing with!
With all evening bookings, I always bring along my LED lighting rig, which, depending on the space (more on this later), includes a motorised disco ball, 2x moving heads, a T-bar for that lovely flood effect, plus another T-bar for bigger venues, and a floor light which is also really cool.
All in all, you can trust in me to provide all of the necessary equipment so that you don’t have to worry about a thing!

Do we need to hire a stage?
A stage is not a necessity, I perform at plenty of events without stages. In fact, a stage is always a bit of a treat for us, because it’s so rare that we end up on one! Most venues don’t have a stage for live music or DJs, although there definitely are some that do. But it’s totally fine either way, as long as there’s enough room for me to set up then it’ll work out great. Speaking of which…
How much space do you require?
I am very accommodating when it comes to space and can fit into just about any room or marquee. For weddings and events in larger rooms, I recommend around 5 meters in width and 2 meters in depth. However, this is not a must. I remember at one wedding show, I was set up between the male and female toilets (see pic below), which proves it CAN be done!
Just goes to show you can make any space work, even if it is between two toilets!
So, that’s it for now! I hope you enjoyed this read and found it useful. Please feel free to get in touch with me if you wanted to chat about plans for live music at your wedding!
Until next time!
