Reviews of Bands & Ensembles

Elio pianist
"We had the pleasure of having Elio perform at our civil ceremony, and he truly made the day even more special. He arrived early, ensuring everything was perfectly prepared, and gave a wonderful performance that my entire family thoroughly enjoyed. His music for the bride’s entrance was absolutely amazing and created the perfect atmosphere. We couldn’t be happier with his professionalism and talent, and we highly recommend Elio to anyone looking for an exceptional pianist for their special day!"

"Absolutely amazing, I don’t know what else to say other than book overdrive for your wedding. They were absolutely incredible, we booked them really last minute but they were so quick and easy to work with, they are so talented and without a doubt were the best part about our wedding. Every single guest couldn’t believe how great they were, I will book them for any event I can in future!"

Frequently asked questions

You should always check whether or not your act is prepared to play outdoors. It’s sometimes not possible for acts that use a lot of electronic equipment to perform anywhere where it might rain.If the act is happy to perform outdoors you should plan to have electrical outlets close to the performance area and provide a flat surface as well as a cover in case of rain.
Each event is different but the typical performance time for bands & ensembles is 2 x 45 minutes sets within a 2 hours period. Some acts are happy to play longer sets or additional sets. Often, breaks can be negotiated but you should be aware that the price may increase if the musicians need to be onsite for a longer period of time.
Booking bands & ensembles as early as possible increases the chance of securing their availability on your event date, particularly during busy times of the year. However, many acts also accept last minute bookings, and we have successfully arranged performances for clients with just a few hours' notice.
Most bands & ensembles are self-contained and provide their own sound equipment which is suitable for typical situations. If your event is to be held in a large venue, or you have more than 300 guests, we recommend that additional sound equipment should be used. Always ask your act about their sound system requirements. Some bands & ensembles have lighting systems, but most usually will charge extra for this or recommend a third party supplier for you to use.
Frequently asked questions about Bands & Ensembles, how to register and how results are ordered are in the help & FAQs.
