It's all about you.
This is your wedding. The music should be exactly what you want and make your experience the most special of your life. I will always put this at the top of my list of priorities.
I believe wedding music should be fun, authentic, and completely stress-free. Whether you want a chilled "Live Lounge" vibe for your cocktails, an upbeat dynamic duo evening set or a full-blown indie-folk party in a field, I’ve got you covered. Scroll for my music, videos, reviews and prices.
Play my wedding!

(Unless you really want Sweet Caroline… then I’ll do it, but I’ll do it cool).
The price you see is the price you pay. No hidden fees or surprise costs.
You want Chappell Roan? Done. You hate Ed Sheeran? He’s banned. It’s your day.
We are so happy with everything, the evening went amazingly, the dance floor was full and the energy was fantastic!
Dance floor was the best one ever for a wedding! Phenomenal! You and the DJ captured our vision perfectly!
'We genuinely couldn't be more pleased and we were so grateful to have you with us for our wedding!'
Perfect for settling the nerves and setting the scene.
The bridge between "daytime polite" and "evening party."
Intimacy by day, bangers by night.
Go big. The authentic indie-folk experience.
A beautiful historic hotel at the foot of the Brecon Beacons.
I love the atmosphere when the whole village comes together!
Victorian luxury Estate in Somerset.
‘Acoustic cocktail hour was such an amazing atmosphere – a great idea for the time between our ceremony and the main band starting.’
“Fantastic acoustic performance and atmosphere… We especially loved the song selection – every single one was a favourite!”
‘‘Our guests had the best time partying with us! Really well organised, good communication and great music - couldn’t ask for more!’
I primarily operate in Wales and England, but I am always happy to discuss other locations and destination weddings.
I typically wear smart trousers, a shirt and a jacket. My aim is to fit in with the atmosphere at your wedding - smart-casual, black tie, summery dress, winter wonderland… You let me know what the dress-code is!
Any band members will, of course, dress in line with our discussed dress-code.
Yes! I love to play LGBTQ+ weddings, and have been part of many wonderful inclusive weddings. I also perform at Pride events and work in the community to improve inclusivity in music.
Yes, from Conferences & Office Christmas Parties, to Shopping Centres & Corporate Bars, I love to be a part of any event.
I don’t offer ceremony music as standard. If you have a ceremony request please include it in the contact form and we can discuss options.
We all know the aim of any party is for everyone to have fun! I play popular music from the 1960s to now, to keep your guests on the dancefloor all night.
With 15 years of playing experience, I have a fantastic collection of songs at my disposal.
We will work together to build your perfect wedding playlist! There are some songs that may not suit my playing style (I’m probably not the right person if you’re into heavy metal!) but I make every effort to tailor my setlist to you.
Equally, I will send some example setlists of songs I typically play, and you are more than welcome to veto songs or say “more like this one please!”. It’s your big day!
Yes, I take song requests and learn up to 3 new songs on any plan, or more with bespoke requests.
Typically the timings are as follows:
The Live Lounge is 1 hour or 2 x 30 minutes.
The Vibe shift is up to 2.5 hours of music - Live Lounge + Upbeat Set.
The Dynamic Duo includes The Live Lounge, 2 Evening Sets of High Energy Duo, and Pro DJ Afterparty.
The Full Festival includes The Live Lounge, 2 Evening Sets of Full 4-Piece Band, and Playlist DJ Afterparty.
This is up to you - I find that The Live Lounge set is a great option during dinner before the party starts.
I always include the option to play Spotify Music Playlists during breaks.
I want to help you plan the perfect night for your Wedding! I am always happy to discuss late finishes and longer set times, and we can discuss pricing for this as travel and hotel requirements may affect this.

Please send me an email or check social media to see when I am playing! I perform every week so there is always an opportunity to watch me play.
Whenever you are ready! I also work with wedding planners and other musicians to make your day run as smoothly as possible. I do ask that the day-of details be confirmed 6 weeks in advance at the very latest.
I ask for a 20% booking deposit to confirm the date, a 30% instalment 3 months before your wedding day, and the remaining 50% 7 days before your wedding. A full refund will be issued if I am unable to attend in emergency circumstances.
