Kate
I have followed up with the guys in the office and the feedback we have received in regards to the band has been fantastic. Phil and Anthony said they did a great job.
Velvet
The act
Over wedding dinner, Velvet can begin with chilled acoustic music or instrumental jazz before moving into party sets as the reception becomes more lively. The band brings years of experience playing at weddings, with a performance approach that can work around the formal moments of your evening. You can consider a four piece with female vocalist Kate or Emma, a five piece featuring both, or a trio with a male guitarist and vocalist. That choice of voices and formats feels appealing for a couple who want a relaxed start to the reception and a more energetic musical direction later.

Good to know
What to expect
An evening tends to run as three 45 minute sets, often opening with something chilled over dinner, an acoustic set or jazz instrumentals, then two party sets after the eating is done. Recorded music fills the gaps between sets, and a microphone is there for speeches if you want one. The reception window is generally somewhere around 7pm to 11pm. They arrive two hours before the start so the gear is up and quiet before a single guest walks in, and they'll bend the running order around your formalities.
Performance options
There are four ways to book them. Velvet is a four piece with Kate or Emma singing; Velvet 5 adds the second vocalist so you get both. Velvet Trio is three players fronted by a male vocalist who also plays guitar. The Vibe is a separate three piece doing instrumental jazz, funk and quieter material. The band's own preference is the five piece with both women out front. Each comes with either a vocal PA or a larger PA, the bigger one recommended once you're past 200 guests or working in a big room. Sets generally run three by 45 minutes, two or three for The Vibe, and they ask that a meal be provided for every member on the night.
