5/5 from 1,275 reviews

Caleb Foster "We had the absolute pleasure of having Caleb be part of our special day, and we couldn’t have asked for anyone better! He was amazing, professional, and made everything so easy and enjoyable. Our guests loved him, and he helped make our wedding even more memorable. We highly recommend Caleb and his services to anyone looking for someone amazing. Thank you so much, Caleb!" Based in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia (1,351 miles from Akaroa) 15th September 2026 Marie - Private wedding

Slumberjacks "The band members, very respectful and responsible, arrived on time and were very professional at all times. But honestly, we felt very disappointed that when contacting this band, we were specific about confirming if they played certain songs, certain artists, including rock and roll songs, which was the main concept of the party including decoration, etc. A party obviously centered on the birthday person for their 80th birthday, and the band played a selection of music that wasn’t what we requested. So, sorry for the honesty, but in that sense, we were very very disappointed. The idea was to hear the birthday person’s favorite songs, and that didn’t happen. That was the main reason we decided to invest in a band instead of going to a nightclub to listen to random music." Based in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia (1,351 miles from Akaroa) 14th July 2026 Loren - Birthday

Vale Acoustic "We cannot thank Matt and Steve enough for being such a huge part of our wedding day. From start to finish, they were incredible, professional, fun, and so in tune with the energy of the room. Their live performances were absolutely beautiful and added such a personal touch to the ceremony and reception. And when it was time to hit the dance floor, they had everyone up and celebrating all night long! So many of our guests commented on how amazing the music was, and honestly, we couldn’t agree more. Steve and Matt helped create such a fun and relaxed atmosphere, and it truly wouldn’t have been the same without them. If you’re looking for musicians who genuinely care and know how to bring the perfect vibe to your day these are your guys!" Based in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia (1,351 miles from Akaroa) Brooke - Wedding

He performs well with all age groups: teaching, writing songs for musicals, children, adults...with insight and creativity. He is a fun and entertaining performer, who delights his audience. He is such a brilliant guitarist! I highly recommend Brendan's gigs." Based in Devonport, Tasmania, Australia (1,362 miles from Akaroa) Jen

PJ Solo Sax n Vocals "We had Paul perform at our engagement! He was absolutely amazing! He was so accommodating and was willing to help me make the event exactly as I envisioned. So grateful, will be referring him to all my friends and family." Based in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia (1,514 miles from Akaroa) 12th October 2026 Laura - Engagement
