A jazz atmosphere with a contemporary song at its heart is a wedding direction Music Lovers can help you explore. The act transforms modern favourites into jazz arrangements for ceremonies, drinks hours and receptions. You can consider an acoustic ensemble of two to five musicians, with saxophone, guitar, keys, bass, drums and vocals among the possible ingredients. A smaller combination could accompany the ceremony, while another format might suit the evening you want to build around the music. DJ and saxophone performances are also offered, alongside a band and DJ combination.

Good to know
What to expect
Jazz arrangements of songs you already know. The quartet rewrites contemporary favourites into something closer to a supper club, then plays them with their own sound rather than a stock chart. It fits the run of a wedding day well, ceremony, then cocktail hour, then reception, and it stays elegant without turning into wallpaper. Sets run 45 minutes. If you like the standards, they play those too, so the night can move between Sinatra-era material and a song from last year without anyone noticing the join.
On the day
A stage area of about 4m x 3m works, though 5m x 4m is more comfortable for the full line-up. Three or four standard power outlets near the playing area, for the electric piano, the guitar amp, the saxophone microphone and the odd pedal or charger. In a small room of up to about 100 guests, a front-of-house PA suited to the space, a mixing console with six to eight input channels, and speaker stands if the speakers aren't already rigged.
Performance options
The acoustic package is two to five musicians, a mix of saxophone, guitar, keys, bass, drums and vocals, over a five hour call time with up to four 45-minute live sets. It includes a PA for a room of about 200 and controlled background music between the sets. There's a DJ and sax combo on the same five hour, four set shape. Or a band and DJ combination, where the band opens the night and the DJ takes it through to the end, if you can't choose between the two.
