Wedding Bands Melbourne

Don’t resort to rubbing an antique gold lamp for genie wishes; if having a trio band play at your wedding is what you want, there are ways to make this option work for you without breaking the budget. You can opt to just have them play at your ceremony and then switch to a DJ for your reception, who will help create a party atmosphere for less since they roll solo.

Or, if you’d really like live music all day (and night) long, we have designed packages to provide you with the best value for your big day. This could be an ‘All day’ 7-hour (or longer if you’d like) music package. Another option is bundling some wedding services together. Did you know Hey Jack specialise in photography and videography services also? When these are packaged together with your entertainment you end up with a professional, highly qualified team who all know each other, plus it is more time and cost effective for you than using several different providers.

It doesn’t matter if your wedding venue is beachside or bar-side (one G&T, please), our trio bands travel all around Melbourne. From rustic farm houses to sprawling wineries, a setting along the peninsula, or city central (and everything in between). Your band will be in contact with your chosen venue a few weeks prior to your wedding date to ensure the sound system is in check. Worst-case scenario, let’s say your venue doesn’t have power, they’ll also have a back-up battery powered sound system. Nothing gets left till the last minute – preparation is our middle name. Every single Hey Jack acoustic trio wedding band is highly experienced and this ain’t their first rodeo so-to-speak. We promise, as wedding veterans, they’ll deliver a super engaging performance that matches the vibe of your tribe. Our seasoned musicians know how to read the room and respond to the energy, be that relaxed or upbeat.

We understand how essential it is to familiarise yourself and feel comfortable with your chosen act before your big day. Just like you want might taste test your cake, we want you to sample our music acts too! Hey Jack have videos available of all our trio bands, so you can get to know their performance style ahead of time. This is integral for you to get a feel for how a band interacts with each other and of course their sound. We understand that in some cases this might not be enough, and it’s nice to see your act perform live or meet them in person prior. If you’d like, we can organise a meeting with your musicians. If the dates suit you, you might be able to see them performing live at a pre-booked public venue.

We love meeting our couples beforehand too! We want you to know you’re in a safe pair of hands and have confidence that the act you’re choosing is going to be amazing on your big day.

We love the curly questions! Some of our most asked are below:

“I want to secure my entertainment but don’t know my wedding times yet!” No problem! We work around you! If you’d like to lock in your wedding band so no one else snaps them up in the meantime, just pay your deposit and let us know the date. We can work out the timing details later!

“What happens if the musicians need to stop the music to say, use the bathroom?” Superhuman talent, yes, but still human – your musicians will inevitably need to take a few reasonable bathroom breaks throughout the day and refuel.

Each experienced artist knows how to keep their breaks short and sweet. Breaks are timed so that you have live music for all the important moments throughout the day – you’ll never be without live music for your reception entrance, cutting the cake, your first dance, speeches, etc. Your performers can also cue a pre-corded song to play during any breaks that fits your overall song selection style.

There are a few things to factor in when it comes to choosing the perfect music mix for your wedding.

Have you checked out performances of your act before you book them (videos online or at a live event, where possible)? When can help guide you in the right direction when it comes to this, just ask!

Consider the style of music you’d like to listen to and if that will work for your all the special moments throughout the day. For example, you might know that low-key relaxed music is going to be beautiful for your ceremony, but, if you’re after an upbeat party vibe for your reception, do any instruments or performers need to be added to achieve this?

We can help you pick the best selection of instruments to complement your band’s vocalist and the vision you want to create. If you’d like an interactive element, a sax or drums are a great choice. An electric guitar is also a brilliant option to bring some extra oomph to the setlist of songs.

Finally, are there any special requests you have for your wedding – we can check with your preferred act and come back to you. The entire Hey Jack team is here to make your day as magical and memorable as possible!

We know there are so many details that go into planning a wedding (we won’t list them all)! Often, this is a fun experience, but it can also be a bit stressful at times. We’re those extra hands you wish you had! Hey Jack are here to make the process of picking your perfect wedding band entertainment as simple as possible. Making sure you have a great experience before you even get to your special day is our number one goal!

You’ll have your very own dedicated, experienced Event Manager on hand to answer any and every question (no question is too silly, promise), and make sure things run smoothly throughout the entire process. We’ll set up a personalised online Music Portal where you can review and curate your own setlist and check song requests (including listing the moment you want them played – i.e., aisle, first dance, bouquet toss)! You bring the guests, we’ll bring the music, and together let’s make some magic memories that last a lifetime.
