The act
Couples who enjoy moving from jazz towards funk and soul could find a useful musical contrast in Sarah Davies Music. The performances focus on engagement with the audience, adjusting the mood through sultry jazz or lifting it with soul and funk. An acoustic duo can play around the wedding ceremony and canapes, with reception music also among the parts of the day you can discuss. You can work towards an arrangement built around your own celebration, considering where the music should feel reflective and where it should gather energy. An appealing direction for a wedding that gives contrasting musical moods their own space.

Good to know
What to expect
The night usually starts low and slow. Sultry jazz while people find their table, then a shift into funk and soul once the room has loosened up and the floor is worth filling. Sarah Davies Music treat showmanship as part of the job rather than an extra, so you get performers who are watching the crowd, not their setlist. The repertoire pulls from classic jazz, Motown and soul, with enough familiar material that guests will sing back at you. Solo, duo or trio, depending on the size of the room and what you want the night to sound like.
On the day
Access to power, and a conversation about the space. That second part matters more than people expect. Once the date is locked in, let them know the size of the room, the guest number and if you're outdoors, because that decides which rig comes along. A courtyard for sixty and a ballroom for two hundred want different equipment, and getting that right beforehand means nothing has to be improvised on the day.
Performance options
Wedding packages are put together around the shape of your day. The smallest covers the ceremony: roughly twenty to thirty minutes of music as guests arrive and settle, with a set list chosen to suit the moment, played as an acoustic duo. Extend it and canapes are added, with up to another three quarters of an hour of live music while photos are being taken. Larger versions carry through to the reception. Corporate and private function options work the same way. Have a chat about what your run sheet looks like and the package gets built to match it.
