Bookings & Availability

How do I check if you’re available for my date?

Fill out the enquiry form on my website with your date, location and event details. I’ll get back to you to confirm availability and provide a quote.

How do I secure my booking?

A 50% deposit secures your date. I’ll provide your quote and Terms & Conditions before you book. Paying the deposit confirms your acceptance of both.

Once your deposit is received, I’ll send your booking confirmation, an online booking form and an invoice for the remaining balance.

When is the remaining balance due?

The remaining balance is due 14 days before your event. I’ll send the invoice after receiving your deposit, with the exact due date clearly shown. You’re welcome to pay earlier.

Bookings made within 14 days of the event require full payment, unless otherwise agreed.

How far in advance should I book?

As early as possible, especially for weddings and popular weekend dates. Short-notice enquiries are welcome too, so please get in touch to check availability.

Do you have Terms & Conditions?

Yes. I’ll include them with your quote so you can review them before booking. They cover payments, cancellations, rescheduling and performance arrangements.

What happens if I need to cancel?

Please let me know in writing as soon as possible. A reasonable cancellation charge may apply for preparation already completed, unrecoverable costs and lost net income.

I’ll take reasonable steps to rebook the date and account for replacement income and expenses saved. Your deposit is not automatically forfeited in full. Any charge and refund will be explained in line with the Terms & Conditions.

Can I change my event date?

Date changes are subject to availability. If we agree on a new date, payments already made will transfer to that booking, with any price changes agreed beforehand. If we can’t agree on a new date, the cancellation terms apply, subject to your legal rights.

If you’re facing serious illness, bereavement or hardship, please get in touch so we can discuss your circumstances.

What Events Do You Play?

What types of events do you perform at?

I provide live acoustic music for weddings, corporate functions, private parties, birthdays, engagement celebrations, cocktail hours, venues and bars. If you’re unsure whether your event is a good fit, I’d love to hear more about it.

Do you perform at corporate events?

Yes. I perform at corporate functions, product launches, end-of-year events and workplace celebrations. I’ll tailor the music to your audience and coordinate around speeches, presentations and other proceedings.

What about private parties and birthdays?

Absolutely. Whether it’s a milestone birthday, engagement party, backyard gathering or something more formal, I can tailor the music to suit your celebration.

Do you perform at venues and bars?

Yes. I’m available for regular and one-off live music bookings. Please get in touch to discuss your venue, preferred dates and rates.

Do you offer DJ services?

My focus is live acoustic music. I provide background music between live sets, but I don’t offer DJ services. My wedding reception coverage is live background music, so please arrange a separate DJ if you’d like DJ-led dance-floor entertainment.

Music & Repertoire

What kind of music do you play?

I sing a wide range of crowd favourites across pop, rock, folk, country and acoustic classics. You can browse my repertoire on Spotify to get a feel for the songs I play.

Can I request specific songs?

Yes. Once your booking is confirmed, I’ll send a planning form where you can nominate favourites, choose songs for key moments and describe the atmosphere you’d like.

What if I want a song you don’t know?

I’m happy to learn a new song for $200 per song, including GST, subject to confirming it’s suitable for my live performance style.

Requests need to be confirmed at least 30 days before your event so I have time to prepare. I can also help you choose something from my existing repertoire.

Can you adjust the music to suit different parts of the event?

Yes. I can move from relaxed background music to more upbeat acoustic sets as the event progresses. I’ll work with your plans and respond to the atmosphere on the day.

Can you perform as a duo?

Yes. I offer a duo option with a female vocalist, subject to availability. It’s a lovely option if you’d like vocal harmonies and a fuller sound. Let me know you’re interested and I’ll include this in your quote.

Sound & Equipment

Do you bring your own sound system?

Yes. A professional sound system is included and is suitable for most of the events I perform at. For larger events or unusual spaces, we’ll discuss any additional sound requirements before booking.

Do you need a power source?

For ceremonies, I can use a battery-powered setup without external power. For longer events, I may need access to a suitable power point. We’ll confirm this during planning.

Can you provide a microphone for a celebrant or speaker?

Yes. I can provide a wired microphone through my sound system. The speaker needs to be within cable reach, so please let me know your plans and we’ll confirm a suitable setup. I don’t currently offer a wireless microphone.

How loud will it be?

I adjust the volume to suit the space, your guests and the moment. If conversation is the priority, I’ll keep the music at a comfortable background level.

Setup & On the Day

When do you arrive?

I usually arrive one to two hours before the performance starts to set up and sound-check. We’ll confirm access and setup timing beforehand, including whether everything needs to be ready before guests arrive.

What do you need from me on the day?

A contact person, safe access, a suitable performance area and any agreed power supply. For outdoor events, please arrange adequate weather protection and a wet-weather plan.

I handle setup and pack-down and will coordinate with your contact person as needed.

Do you take breaks?

Unless otherwise agreed, live sets are approximately 45 minutes, with 15-minute breaks between sets. For example, a four-hour booking generally includes three breaks.

I provide background music during breaks and coordinate them around speeches or other proceedings where practical. The quoted booking duration includes these breaks.

What if the event runs overtime?

I’ll work with changes to the running order where possible. If you’d like me to perform beyond the agreed finish time, this is subject to availability and an additional fee agreed before the extension begins.

Travel

Where are you based and how far do you travel?

I’m based on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland and perform across South East Queensland, including Noosa, Brisbane, the Gold Coast, the Fraser Coast and Hervey Bay. I’m also happy to discuss travelling further.

Is there a travel fee?

Travel fees may apply for events more than 100 km from the Sunshine Coast. Accommodation may also be needed for bookings requiring an overnight stay.

All agreed travel and accommodation charges will be included in your quote before you book.

Please let me know before booking if your organisation requires a purchase order or has specific payment requirements. Any alternative arrangements need to be agreed in writing.

Professionalism & Insurance

Are you insured?

Yes. I hold current public liability insurance and can provide evidence of cover if your venue requires it.

How much experience do you have?

I’ve been performing live music for over 15 years across weddings, corporate events, private functions and venues throughout Queensland. You can read reviews from past clients on my Google Business Profile.

What if there’s an equipment issue?

I carry backup equipment and will work to resolve any technical issues as quickly as possible.

What happens if you’re unable to perform?

I’ll let you know promptly and, where practical, help find a suitable replacement for your approval. If I can’t perform and no replacement is accepted, I’ll refund all payments for the booking within 14 days. Your other legal rights remain unaffected.
