Acoustic acts, string ensembles, DJs and bands are all among The Dancing Birds' formats, giving your wedding a broad choice of live music approaches. Their covers repertoire takes in jazz, soul, Motown, classic rock, pop and current chart selections, with music ranging from gentle background listening to later dancing. You could explore an acoustic soloist or duo for drinks and consider a larger group for the reception, while keeping your preferred songs central to the discussion. Band combinations can extend to ten musicians, and the separate string options range from a duo to a quartet if you want a different instrumental character.

Clients who booked The Dancing Birds
Jo
Just a quick note to say a huge thank you. Your group played at Mel and Heath’s wedding last November in Frankston and we loved you guys you were amazing. Your music was a mixture of old and new, your singing was so good live, you were both so friendly and accommodating if a song was requested, and what was even better was that everyone got up to dance! I have been to weddings where no one gets up so it was a credit to you both for being so good. You both helped to make their wedding so special. Thanks so much again and keep up the great work.
Lauren
Lauren and I wanted to say a big thank you for organising the band for our wedding. They were absolutely brilliant! They sounded incredible (inclusion of trumpet a masterstroke) and their song selections spot on. As you well know, a sign of a good wedding band is when the dance floor is heaving and that’s exactly what happened on Saturday night! All ages up having a dance. So many people commented on the band – they thought they were amazing. Thanks again
Monika
The Dancing Birds got everyone on the dance floor at our Testimonial Fundraising Dinner at Kooyong Lawn Tennis Club on April 11. What an incredibly talented band and such a pleasure to work with throughout the panning stages. The band was a welcome addition to the all star line-up and we can’t wait to work with them again.
Mary-anne
Thank you for a great night of entertainment and for helping out with the auction. Our event raised a lot of money and I’m sure it was partly to do with your energy and commitment to the night. Truly a wonderful and professional outfit
Cassie
I felt compelled to write to you just before boarding a plane for our honeymoon.You guys were so brilliant! Our wedding could never have been so enjoyable with out you guys there. Your song selection was amazing, everyone remarked on how good you were.Thanks again, and I’ll definitely be spreading the word. Best wedding band in Melbourne
Ryebuck
Many thanks to The Dancing Birds for the wonderful composition that you wrote especially for our Youth Challenge program. ‘Say Hello’ really sets up the day, engages the kids and highlights the interaction that follows in all of the sessions. Well done – spot on
