FAQ

We know that planning an entire wedding can be stressful, so we want to save you the hassle and give you a complete run down of our wedding package options.
 
Although each wedding is unique, we have created packages to suit the most common options our clients request. Take a look here: https://www.weddingbandcollective.com.au/packages.html 

When booking with Wedding Band Collective, the act you have chosen will be there for the night. As we understand that every wedding is different, we work with brides & grooms to ensure that the artists work with the wedding schedule, in order to maximise the musical component of the night whilst working in with the wedding formalities.

A typical wedding reception is 5 hours long, including 4 x 45 minute live sets from the band. Each wedding is different though, so the artist will play for as long as you like, based around your formalities.

The act you book will provide their own PA system, lighting and any additional features they may require. All they need is access to power at the venue.

Even when there is no live music playing we will make sure that the music is on point ,whether that is relaxing background music during meals or DJ party sets during band breaks, we’ve got playlists to suit everything!

Depending on the act you book, we may be able to provide you with an MC at a minimal additional cost, just be sure to request this when you are booking!

Absolutely! Weddings are about love & happiness, and we feel extremely fortunate to be able to play for any couple on their big day.

Certainly! Our advice is to ask the entertainment well in advance if you would like any specific songs played at your wedding. We usually recommend choosing a special song for your bridal dance, goodbye circle or any other formalities you may have. All we ask is for song requests to be made no later than one calendar month before the wedding.

We will work with you in regards to your schedule, song requests, MC duties, venue requirements, or any other items you’d like to discuss in the lead up to your wedding. We understand how stressful it can be to plan a wedding, so we make sure to make organising the music an extremely easy and efficient process.

Load in time is based on when the guests enter the venue. It takes roughly 45 minutes for most artists to unload and set up, however, depending on the act you book, they may arrive 90-120 minutes to ensure plenty of time for set up and to discuss the logistics with the venue.

Yes please! From load in to leaving time the musicians are usually at a wedding venue for 7-9 hours so a meal and drinks are always appreciated.

Not at all! The price we quote is for the entertainment for the full reception or ceremony & canapes, depending on what you’ve booked. We’ll play as much music as you would like, learn song requests and help with planning along the way.

We certainly do. Don’t stress if your wedding isn’t in a major city such as Melbourne, Perth, Adelaide, Hobart, Brisbane or Sydney. Our artists are happy to travel far and wide.

Depending on the entertainment you want, you may be able to see some artists perform live, however, since most of our acts specialise in weddings they may not have public gigs available very often.

July 2021

Our wedding was sandwiched between Melbourne lockdowns, and after such gloominess we had just one brief for the day - for all of our friends and family, to come together in celebration and to have an amazing night of dance floor action. We booked Bars, and were absolutely thrilled when the formalities were over and they got playing. They had our guests on the dance floor on their first song. They were fabulous on the evening, and absolutely delivered on brief. Very cool music, with the gorgeous vocals of Sarah Jessica. We were so happy we nominated to go with live music and thankful for Bars giving our wedding such a fantastically fun atmosphere. We received such tremendous feedback from our guests! Just be sure to stock up on bandaids, for when the lights come on and everyone hobbles off into the night with their blisters!!

I cannot recommend Ben more highly. He was easy to talk to and understood what I was wanting. The main thing I loved was the honesty, I felt they weren’t just about making money, but doing something they love and genuinely wanted the right band for me. I ended up going with a solo acoustic artist, Sarah Jessica, I was blown away by here voice. I couldn’t fault her on the day, her voice was beautiful and she was very professional. I had lots of people ask who she was and where she came from. Thankyou Ben for helping me make my day all I imagined it would be.

Kate T.

WBC Entertainment

Thanks so much for your kind words, Kate! I'm so glad to hear your wedding went so well, and I know Sarah certainly enjoyed performing for you guys on your big day. Congratulations!

January 2020

We hired a duet to provide live music during the reception. Frank and Brooke were perfect, they even offered a rendition of “the time warp” which proved a highlight! Thanks you did a great job.

Robyn S.

Thankyou so much Robyn! We are so glad that you had a great day :)

July 2018

Really good! Everything was really easy to organise. Discussed the kind of music we wanted and then created our playlist. Lenny & Al were awesome on the night!

Yvette B.

Music ideas for straight after the ceremony

Music suggestions please! Trying to figure out an upbeat song to play after our vows when we walk back down the aisle together. Thank you.

WBC Entertainment

Any song that has meaning to you and your partner will be great, but from a personal point of view, Signed, Sealed, Delivered by Stevie Wonder is a really positive one!
