The act
The ceremony is where Arnie Grives first makes sense, because he's an authorised marriage and civil celebrant as well as an entertainer. Once the formal part of your wedding is over, his live singing can take the room from jazz and country into rock and roll, disco or reggae. Thirty years of singing sit behind a repertoire that reaches from the fifties to current music, with extra attention given to the sixties and seventies. His cabaret characters include Elvis, Tina, Roy Orbison, Tom Jones, Neil Diamond and the Bee Gees, and his vocal range lets him perform both sides of a duet. Listen on this page to decide whether that ceremony to celebration combination feels right for your day.

Good to know
What to expect
One performer, and then suddenly several. Arnie's range lets him sing both the male and female halves of a duet, which is what makes the cabaret spots work: Elvis, Tina, Roy Orbison, Jones, Neil Diamond, the Bee Gees, all from the one voice. Thirty years of live singing sits behind it. The wider repertoire runs from the fifties to now, taking in jazz, country, rock and roll, disco and reggae, with the sixties and seventies getting the most attention. He's an authorised marriage celebrant as well, so the same person can conduct your ceremony and then run the party.
On the day
Arnie runs entirely off his own gear, which keeps your side of it simple. He'd rather have a stage than not, but it isn't a requirement and plenty of rooms don't have one. Give him a defined space to work in and a power point within reach, and that's the setup handled.
