The act
Sultry jazz early, funk and soul once the room warms up. That's the arc Sarah Davies Music tends to follow, and the repertoire stretches from classic jazz and Motown through to soul and the covers a crowd will actually sing along to. The Sydney outfit works as a solo, a duo or a trio, and takes wedding days end to end: music before the ceremony, a set through canapes, then the reception. Corporate and private functions get the same treatment. Showmanship matters to them, and it shows in how they read a room rather than just play at it. All they need on the day is access to power, and a heads-up about the space so the right gear turns up.

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.
