    Paul Wainwright
    "The Aegir Room February 1, 26 FB post: Had a wonderful evening seeing Paul Wainwright perform at The Oswego Hotel’s Aegir Room in James Bay. From the moment he started playing, it was clear we were in for something special. A terrific performance in an intimate setting, paired with delicious food, cold beverages, and genuinely excellent service — it all added up to a delightful night of music, friends, and great vibes. If you haven’t seen Paul Wainwright perform (and honestly, where have you been? He’s been a mainstay of the local music scene for years), I highly recommend you make it a point to catch him live. Good news: Paul will be back at the Aegir Room (the coolest lounge in Victoria) at The Oswego Hotel on Sunday, February 8th and Sunday, February 15th, from 6:00–8:00 pm. Reservations are recommended. Support live music and treat yourself to a fantastic evening — you won’t be disappointed."

    JehiahSax
    "We recently had the pleasure of booking the one and only Sexy Sax for a fabulous 50th birthday brunch—and let’s just say, Jahiah more than lived up to the name. From the moment he stepped in, dressed to turn heads and radiating charisma, he had the crowd buzzing. His music was pitch-perfect for the occasion and energetic in all the right places. He seamlessly coordinated with the DJ playing high-energy pop hits that kept guests smiling, swaying, and filming on their phones. Jahiah's presence elevated the event from a great party to an unforgettable experience. Whether gliding through the crowd or serenading the birthday queen, Sexy Sax owned every note and every moment. An absolute showstopper! Highly recommend Jahiah for any event where you're looking to add flair, fun, and unforgettable musical energy. 10 out of 10, all day."

    Aleksei Chebeliuk
    "We had Aleksei Chebeliuk play the accordion for my brother’s wedding in Charlotte, and he was incredible. He played a great mix of songs that kept everyone smiling and added such a unique, fun energy to the day. Aleksei is a true professional and very talented—he made the atmosphere feel extra special. If you want a great musician for your event, I highly recommend him!"

    Many wedding ceremony musicians are happy to perform outdoors, though this should be confirmed with the musician in advance. Outdoor performances may be affected by wind, rain or temperature, which can impact acoustic instruments. Providing a covered or sheltered area for the musicians and their equipment is strongly recommended.
    Most wedding ceremony musicians perform for 30 minutes to one hour, covering the key moments such as the guest arrival, the processional, any signing of the register or documents, and the recessional. Some musicians also offer extended packages that include pre-ceremony background music or music during a drinks reception afterwards.
    Some wedding ceremony musicians offer packages covering both the ceremony and the drinks reception or wedding breakfast. Others specialise in ceremony music only. It is a good idea to check each musician's profile for their available packages, or contacting them to discuss a bespoke arrangement.
