Couples who enjoy watching music build in layers could find a wedding connection in Nyssa Ray's acoustic guitar, singing and percussion. She creates loops during the performance, combining a dreamy vocal character with music reaching from the sixties into current songs. Her wedding offerings include live music for the ceremony and canapes, with an option to continue through the earlier reception. A DJ set can finish the evening, giving you a way to consider live music and dancing within one plan. For couples who want a layered solo sound before the later DJ music, that progression feels appealing.

Good to know
What to expect
One person building the sound of about five. Nyssa sings over acoustic guitar with percussion grooving underneath, and she loops each layer live, so watching the arrangement stack up is half the show. The voice is a lot bigger than you'd guess looking at the setup. Her songs stretch from sixties soul through to current pop. She DJs as well, which is the useful part for a wedding, because the same person can play your ceremony in the afternoon and keep the floor busy after dinner.
On the day
A power point nearby makes life simpler, but it isn't a dealbreaker. Her gear runs on battery, which is why an outdoor ceremony on a lawn or a clifftop with no power within cooee still works fine.
Performance options
Three shapes, each one covering a bit more of the day. The first is live music for the ceremony and canapes, running up to three hours. The second carries that through into the first half of the reception, up to five hours. The third adds a DJ set to close the night out, up to seven hours all up. Most couples land on the third one because it means the music never stops and hands over cleanly.
