Ethan Conway suits couples who want one musician to connect ceremony songs, canapés and the later wedding reception. His repertoire mixes current pop, soul, folk and classics, with Ed Sheeran, Aretha Franklin, the Lumineers and Neil Diamond among the artists. Three important ceremony songs can be learned for the aisle, signing and exit, with another request possible. The reception format can include live sets and DJ portions, with music placed around major moments of the night. This feels right for a couple who value range and want one musical plan to follow the wedding from ceremony to dance floor.
Watch Ethan Conway perform and get a feel for their sound, style and fit for your wedding.

A solo acoustic musician who does this for a living, so what you get is a played-in performance rather than a punt. He builds an atmosphere and keeps it there, which matters more at a wedding or a function than technical fireworks do. Songs are picked to suit the room and the point in the night.
Give him a stage or performance area of at least three metres by three, plus a wall power point, unless you've already booked it as a battery-powered gig. If you're outside and rain is on the cards, he needs somewhere under cover with dry ground so the PA can go up safely.
Old and new sit side by side. At the contemporary end you'll hear Ed Sheeran, Vance Joy and John Mayer, along with James Arthur, Ariana Grande, Jessie J, Childish Gambino, Maroon 5 and Chet Faker. Older soul brings Bill Withers, Marvin Gaye, Aretha Franklin and Ben E. King. The folk corner leans on Angus and Julia Stone, The Paper Kites and The Lumineers, and the classics run to Bryan Adams, Neil Diamond, Jeff Buckley, Pete Murray and Amy Winehouse. Then his own favourites creep in: Matt Corby and Allen Stone, Sam Smith, Jack Johnson, Coldplay, Lianne La Havas, Sam Sparro, and Kings of Leon.
You can take the whole wedding day or just the piece you need. The ceremony covers three key songs of your choosing, learned in advance, for walking down the aisle, the signing and the exit, with extra songs learned on request. Canape sets usually run one or two while photos are happening and guests are mingling, at 45 minutes playing and 15 off. The reception is the full solo show, several music and party sets performed or DJed, with him working alongside your MC to cue the bridal entrance, the cake cutting, the first dance and the last song of the night. Duo, trio and band versions exist and depend on who's free.
