Technical Info

What are your basic technical requirements?

We need a minimum space of about 4.0 × 2.5 meters (≈10 m²) to fit two musicians with amplifiers, a drum set, two vocal speakers, and the singer, but we can certainly evaluate together if we can adapt to a slightly smaller area.


What information do you require about a venue?

Please send us a photo of the exact spot at the venue where we will be performing. In addition, we kindly ask you to show us—through a video or a picture—the route from the entrance we should use (whether it is the main entrance or a suppliers’/service entrance) all the way to the exact location where we will set up our instruments and perform for the event.


Do you provide sound and lighting equipment?

Yes, we provide our own PA system for all performances, including amplifiers, vocal speakers, and microphones. Regarding lighting, we have two colored spotlights that we use only if the venue has no lighting setup at all. These lights are not a full disco system, but they add a bit of color to enhance the atmosphere of the event.


Can you provide a Spotify/DJ service before and between your sets?

We provide background music between our live sets to allow short breaks, and we can also offer a live-mixed dance music service after our performance. While this is not a professional DJ set, a dedicated person carefully mixes the tracks to maintain a lively atmosphere for guests who want to keep dancing, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable flow.


How do you handle technical issues during the performance?

We bring our own professional PA system and backup equipment when needed. Our team is trained to troubleshoot quickly, ensuring the music never stops unexpectedly.


Do you arrive early to set up?

Yes, we typically arrive about three hours before the performance to ensure everything is perfectly ready, from soundcheck to final positioning of instruments.


What if the ceremony or party is outdoors?

We are happy to perform outside, but we request a shaded, flat surface and a nearby power supply to ensure optimal performance.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best gig you've ever done and the best venue you've ever worked at?

Some of our best performances have been at AgriResort Leano in Piazza Armerina, Sicily, and at Terre di Romanello, in the province of Noto, both wedding destinations. At these events, we played during the aperitif, the reception, and a lively dance set before dessert. At AgriResort Leano, we got so caught up in the dancing that we forgot it was time for the wedding cake, slightly delaying this moment, but we had an incredible time. Afterwards, the event concluded with the cake, leaving happy newlyweds and guests fully enjoying the music throughout


What's your favourite type of event?

While we enjoy performing at many different types of events, weddings are definitely our favorite. They are always filled with joy and emotion, and wedding destinations are particularly special to us. They give us the chance to embrace and discover new cultures, traditions, and ways of celebrating, which makes every performance unique and unforgettable.


What's your previous experience and how did you start gigging?

We started our journey in the wedding world as four professional musicians with many years of experience. Our singer studied privately with music teachers, while our drummer, guitarist, and bassist all graduated from the conservatory and now teach their instruments as professional music teachers. Beyond the music itself, we’ve learned that weddings are unique events with many different moments and emotions, so it’s not only about playing well—it’s also about guiding and supporting the couple, adapting to each stage of the day, and providing solutions whenever needed. This combination of musical expertise and event experience makes us a reliable partner for such a special occasion.


Which artists have you been most influenced by, who is your favourite artist and what is the greatest song of all time?

As musicians, we’ve been influenced by many different artists and genres, from jazz and swing to pop, rock, and soul. It’s hard to choose just one favorite artist or the greatest song of all time, because music is so personal and every event calls for something different. What we love most is bringing together the songs that mean the most to each couple and their guests, creating a soundtrack that feels unique and unforgettable for their wedding.

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

We usually arrive about three hours before the performance to set up and soundcheck. A typical wedding includes three live music moments: an unplugged quartet during the aperitif, live sets during the reception with short breaks filled by background music, and a lively dance set before dessert. The exact length of each part can vary depending on the flow of the event, but we always adapt to the couple’s needs to ensure the music perfectly matches every stage of the celebration.


Are you happy to perform outside?

We’re happy to perform outside, but we ask for a shaded area, a flat and stable surface, and a nearby power supply to ensure everything runs smoothly.


Do the clients have a say in what you play or is it a set repertoire list only?

While we cannot change our main repertoire, we are happy to arrange the couple’s chosen songs specifically for them, performing everything live to make each moment unique and different from any other event. We can also include two or three additional special pieces for particular moments requested by the couple, ensuring their personal touches are highlighted throughout the celebration.


How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?

Previous clients often describe our performances as a perfect balance between elegance and fun. They enjoy how we start softly and gradually build up to high-energy moments that get everyone dancing. Our versatility, attention to event organization, and problem-solving skills are also frequently highlighted. Many of these sentiments can be seen in the reviews section on our Instagram page, where some of our client testimonials are shared.


What happens if the timeline of the wedding changes?

We are experienced in managing any changes to the schedule discreetly. We coordinate directly with the venue staff, catering, or wedding planner and adjust our sets and timing accordingly, ensuring that the couple doesn’t need to worry or even notice that any changes have occurred.


What if some guests don’t like the music style?

We select a versatile repertoire and can adapt the mood to suit the audience. Our goal is to create a fun, inclusive atmosphere while still respecting the couple’s personal style.


Will the music overwhelm conversations during dinner?

We design the sets with soft live music during meal times and only gradually increase energy for dancing. Guests can enjoy conversations without raising their voices.


Can you help with last-minute requests?

Yes! We are accustomed to problem-solving on the spot, from adjusting setlists to coordinating with the planner or the venue, so the couple can stay relaxed and enjoy their day.


Can you play specific songs for special moments?

Absolutely! While we have our main repertoire, we arrange the couple’s selected songs live, making each moment unique and unforgettable.
