Events we book

Weddings dominate our Dales bookings, from ceremony singers to evening bands. We also supply acts for anniversaries, birthdays, village events and corporate retreats.

Ceremony and drinks reception music

Many Dales weddings take place in beautiful but intimate settings: a country-house drawing room, a barn or a garden. Live music during the ceremony and drinks reception suits these spaces well. An acoustic duo or a vocalist with a compact PA can play gentle sets that let guests chat, then return later for an upbeat evening. A piano vocalist brings a touch of class to a country-house reception.

Remember that guests may be staying in the area overnight. A slightly later finish, if the venue allows it, can make the most of the evening.

Choosing an act for a Dales venue

• Sound limiters: many rural venues have them. Vocalists and acoustic duos often suit best.
• Power: barns and marquees may need a generator. Confirm with your venue.
• Access: let us know about narrow lanes, stairs or long carries.
• Finish times: rural venues often have earlier curfews.
