FAQ's:

What do I need to choose for my ceremony?

The essentials for a wedding ceremony are:

  • Entrance/Procession
  • Signing of the Register
  • Exit

- For the entrance and exit, we normally just play 1 item for each, which we can cut short if necessary (e.g. when you get to the front!)

- During the signing of the register, we normally play 2 or 3 items, so we ask you to pick 3, in order of preference in case we only have time to play 2.

Are there any restrictions?

If you are having a civil ceremony, by law we are not allowed to play any religious music. This also applies to religious songs, even though we won't be performing the lyrics.

What music works well when signing the register?

We find that ballads tend to work well, but depending on the overall mood and theme of your wedding, you may like to pick something more lively and entertaining!

Can you help us choose?

Of course! With our years of experience, we can use our expertise to pick the right sort of music for each stage of your ceremony. We can chat about what kind of music you like to listen to, and we'll make a list of appropriate suggestions that we think you'll enjoy.

Boring (but useful) bits:

As standard with all bookings through the Groove, you'll have unlimited opportunities for consultation with our team of dedicated wedding and event planners. You can also chat directly with your act to discuss musical choices and specific logistics for the day of your booking.

To confirm and book, you'll initially receive confirmation that the guys are available on your date following your enquiry. On the same email, you'll also be sent a booking form which you can fill in to populate our system with information regarding your day. You'll then receive a deposit invoice for 20% to secure the bands attendance and complete your booking. Following both these steps, you'll get a confirmation pack with a link to book a meeting with one of our dedicated entertainment planners, some checklists and ideas of musical options to think about, and the next steps involved in your booking. It really is that simple.
