WHAT KIND OF MUSIC DO YOU PLAY?

​

WILL YOU LEARN MY FAVOURITE SONG?

​

Absolutely!

 

Ceremony: If you book The Sirens for your Ceremony they’ll learn up to five songs for you! Many couples have a favourite song that they envisage themselves walking down the aisle to, they can help to make that vision a reality as well as incorporating songs that are special to you and your partner for signing your register and making your exit after becoming a married couple. 

 

Weddings: We are happy to learn one new song for each of our bookings, most couples use this option for their first dance; however you can ask us to learn a song for any part of the evening.  We also have the facility to play an original song through our PA system if you prefer, just let Yvonne know and she will arrange that for you.

​

Bespoke DJ: If you've booked our DJ package you can choose up to 10 songs to be included in this part of our service, if you would prefer us to include songs within a specific genre or style we can accommodate that too. We will send you a form to fill in nearer the time of your event. We will also provide a Whatsapp group for your guests to join and make requests throughout the evening.

 

Please put your song requests in writing by email or letter at least 12 weeks in advance of the event date.

​

WILL YOU PROVIDE A CONTRACT?

​

Yes we will provide you with a Standard Engagement Contract to sign and return to us upon receipt of your deposit. Included with your contract is a list of important information points about your booking to keep for your records and refer to in the run up to your event. We are also happy to offer a consultation in advance to go over all of your requirements, just contact Yvonne to arrange this.

​

​

​

​

DO I NEED TO PROVIDE ANYTHING FOR THE BAND?

​

It is important to check with your venue in advance of making a booking to ensure there will be enough space for us to set up and perform and also if the venue has a sound limiter on site as these things can determine if it's possible for us to provide you with entertainment on the day. The majority of venues will have this information on hand. 

​

We also require the use of a secure changing room to change before and after our performances and safely leave our valuables, a conference suite or meeting room for example is an ideal place for this purpose. If neither of these are available we are more than happy to discuss further options with you.
