Let’s talk wedding singers for your Melbourne wedding

Looking for a wedding singer in Melbourne? An acoustic soloist works wonders for weddings of any size or shape, and you can always add an instrument or two if you’d like. Hey Jack have helped organise amazing acoustic soloists for countless Melbourne weddings, and we’re pretty well versed (if we do say so ourselves) in what makes a unique, memorable solo act who will deliver music magic. All of our seasoned acoustic solo artists make every moment just that little bit extra special, from gliding down the aisle, to your canape hour, first dance and every other moment throughout the day.

Whichever of our talented Melbourne acoustic wedding singers you select, one thing’s for sure: they will make sure your day is full of the perfect ambience and atmosphere, from start to finish. Variety is the spice of life, so let’s say you’d love a soloist for your ceremony, but are after more of a party vibe that raises the roof at your reception. Can do! We can put together any kind of value driven, customisable package to make your vision a reality. 

Why couples choose Hey Jack for Wedding Singers in Melbourne

  • A dedicated Event Manager for every booking, not just an artist.
  • Up to three requested songs learned especially for your wedding.
  • A personalised Music Portal to curate your set list and key moments.
  • A battery powered sound system for venues without easy access to power.
  • The option to add instruments or switch to a DJ later in the night.

Perfect for an intimate Melbourne wedding

There is nothing quite like a personal, live performance to complement an intimate wedding. It’s hard to picture a DJ spinning a keyboard heavy cover as you walk down the aisle, unless it’s a Vegas wedding! Solo artists make wedding ceremonies feel personal, and you can’t get more intimate than an acoustic soloist, perhaps accompanied by acoustic guitar or a string instrument, singing a live, emotional rendition of your favourite songs. Their smooth melodic tones never overpower an intimate wedding and instead perfectly match the vibe you’re going for.

We ensure all of our Melbourne acoustic wedding singers complement your theme and style by making sure the set list is exactly what you love to hear, you’ll be involved in checking and approving it before your big day, and they’ll even do their best to dress the part too (coastal vibes, cocktail, all black attire). Having a solo act as your entertainment makes everyone feel relaxed and comfortable, and it’s a great way to get excellent value if you love the idea of live music but don’t want to blow the budget.

What's included with your Wedding Singer

Every Hey Jack wedding singer booking includes a full sound system and speakers suited to your venue, a dedicated Event Manager as your single point of contact from booking to the big day, direct liaison between our team and your venue on sound and bump-in logistics, up to three requested songs learned especially for your wedding, and a battery powered sound system for venues without easy access to power.

When we say ‘Music All Day Long’, we mean it

Entertainment and a wedding go hand in hand, but not just down the aisle! Music is a big consideration for every wedding, and unsurprisingly, plays a part in almost every moment of the day. Your selected soloist will help tie together all the important moments of the day, from beginning to end. They can be on hand for the entire wedding, entertaining guests before you even arrive to exchange your vows. This early presence really helps set the tone for the rest of the day.

From here, your acoustic soloist will entertain your guests as they mingle during canape or cocktail hour whilst you’re having photos taken pre-reception. They can deliver the emotion as you take to the stage for your first beautiful (and possibly tear-jerker) dance together, and any father and daughter or mother and son dances too. The best is yet to come! Heat things up by switching from a soloist to a DJ at the reception if you want to get everyone up on the dance floor. Or, for an interactive, engaging feel at your reception, blend a solo vocalist with an amazing saxophonist or electric guitarist for a band feel that wows all in attendance.

Choosing the right wedding singer or guitarist for your special day

There are a few things that go into creating a recipe for success when it comes to choosing the best wedding soloist to play at your wedding. Firstly, what kind of style of music are you looking for: jazz, pop hits, more traditional classics, a new take on old favourites, rock or R&B. Then it’s time to decide if you’d like a relaxed, laid back vibe or a more upbeat, higher energy performance style. Does your vision include the support of any instruments like piano, woodwind, strings or brass? If yes, which are the best to complement and support your acoustic wedding singer.
Have you checked available videos showcasing your soloist’s talent prior to booking? This is a great way to get an idea of their overall vibe and whether or not they would be a fantastic fit for your wedding. On this note, would you like to meet the act in person beforehand? Ask us how, as in most cases we can arrange this for you. Finally, are there any special requests you’d like adhered to for your wedding? We can check with your preferred act and come back to you. We’re all here to make your day as magical and memorable as possible!

Let’s find your perfect Melbourne acoustic wedding singer together

We know there are so many details that go into a wedding, from the venue, to what to wear, to the guest list, and of course entertainment. Whilst the experience of organising all these different special details can be a lot of fun, it can also be a bit daunting at times. That’s why we at Hey Jack are here to take the stress out of planning your entertainment. Our goal is to help make sure you have a fab experience before you even see and hear your chosen act live on the day.

Every booking receives their own dedicated, experienced Event Manager. This friendly team member will be on hand throughout the process to answer any and every question (no question is too silly to ask, promise). We’ll also set up a personalised online Music Portal which allows you to review and curate your own song selections, including listing the moment you want them played. Your chosen act will also be in contact with the venue a few weeks prior to your wedding date to ensure everything ticks the boxes when it comes to sound system requirements.

Nothing last minute or forgotten here!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

So, is a solo acoustic musician right for you?

If you love the idea of value, live music and a more personalised, intimate feeling for your wedding entertainment, then the answer is yes. Compared to a big band, where several people on stage require extra space, a soloist is a fantastic entertainment choice for any size venue. Contrary to a DJ (don’t get us wrong, they’re great for wedding receptions), a soloist means no compromising on what you want. Plus, you’ll have an emotional element that comes from smooth, soulful renditions of your favourite songs, live and not pre-recorded.

Let’s get personal – we know there’s nothing quite like having songs tailored to your tastes. For this reason, you can choose your groove – a soloist who specialises in new renditions of classics and hits, soulful jazz or smooth R&B, whatever you like, let us know. Your chosen solo artist can also learn up to three songs of your choice, so if there’s a breathtaking ballad or upbeat banger you want to hear on the day, just request it in advance. We can even send through a snippet of the rehearsal of these special additions before the day #gethypedup! Most often our couples love to hear a song that reminds them of a special date or trip they took together, an inside moment just the two of you share or something that evokes a memory of you both and your guests! You can hear your requested songs at any time throughout the day, with popular choices being when you walk down the aisle, make your *official* entrance as a married couple or take to the stage for your first dance.

You can literally roll solo, or you have the option to add an extra musician/instrument to accompany your talented soloist choice. It won’t sound like primary school singing over a group playing their recorders out of sync. Instead, enhance and elevate your ceremony with the soft notes of an acoustic guitar, piano or cello whilst your soloist hits beautiful, breathtaking notes. Likewise, for your reception, if you’d like to turn things up a notch or two, why not add an electric guitar, drums or brass instrument like trumpet or sax to accompany our talented soloist in between big notes! That way you’ll be curating an upbeat party feel for your wedding reception.
We touched on it earlier but as far as live acoustic wedding singers go – a soloist is a great choice for staying within a budget. This option lets you add on any extras you DO want and exclude anything you don’t. If you’d just like live music for your ceremony but not the reception, that will save you too! For all our soloist performers we have packages available to deliver you the best value, for example bundling with a DJ for the reception or photography and videography services Hey Jack also specialise in. If you need to relocate in between your ceremony and reception, we’ve got you covered. We account for this upfront so you don’t get hit with sneaky extra charges later. If your coverage is booked for seven hours, this includes travel time in between, not on top!

It doesn’t matter if you’re going country, coastal or keeping things city central for your wedding venue; our musicians travel all around Melbourne. We can play from the beach or the by the bar! Worst case scenario – let’s say your venue doesn’t have power, no problem, we have a battery powered sound system. Rest assured every single soloist Hey Jack works with is a super engaging, seasoned professional with lots of wedding experience under their belt! They will adapt to the wedding they are at and read the room to respond with the perfect energy level, be that relaxed or upbeat. For that reason, soloists work just as well for small venues as they do for larger ones.

Most couples have a vision for their wedding day, but pulling together the finer details to match that vision can take time. If you’d like help finding the perfect entertainment for your style, we’re here to help. The Hey Jack team knows music and weddings inside out, and we can recommend musicians, bands, DJs, or a combination, to complete your dream wedding.

Congratulations on your engagement! We recommend booking your wedding entertainment a year in advance to remove additional stress closer to the big day. Wedding entertainment is in high demand across Melbourne, especially during the peak spring and summer seasons, so it’s best to secure your preferred act well ahead of time.

Yes. Every Hey Jack client gets a personalised Music Portal to customise song choices, genres, and must-play and do-not-play songs, so your musician gets to know your taste before your wedding. If you have questions for your singer directly, you can raise them in the planning meeting scheduled a month before your wedding.

Yes. Head to the Entertainment page on our website and browse any of the acts we work with. Each has their own profile with videos showcasing their talent, so you can explore your options across all our singers, duos and bands before deciding.

No. Our performers come ready with all the equipment needed for the best possible performance, including a battery powered system for venues without easy access to power. If your venue already has audio equipment set up, just let your artist know so they can pack a little lighter.

Most couples book their wedding singer for the ceremony, and some extend into canape hour or the reception. Your singer will arrive well before their first song to set up and sound check. From there, it depends on your vision, whether you keep live music going most of the night or switch over to a DJ. Our musicians take short breaks each hour to rest their voice, with a curated playlist keeping the vibe going in between.

We make sure all our performers are well presented and styled so they don’t clash with your wedding aesthetic. If you have a specific request for your performer’s outfit, let us know and we’ll do our best to make it happen.

Our standard booking policy is an initial 30 percent payment to lock in your act, with the remaining balance due 45 days before your wedding. Once booked, you’ll receive your own Music Portal to start adding your show-stopping tunes. One month before your wedding, our planning team takes over to run through all the smaller details.

Fill out the enquiry form on our website under “Submit an Enquiry”. We also recommend building a shortlist of your favourite performers by viewing their profile and tapping “add to shortlist”, which automatically populates your enquiry form and helps our team understand your wedding details faster.

That’s not a problem. You can pay your deposit and secure your chosen act for the date, then work out the finer timing details closer to your wedding.

Each artist is experienced and keeps breaks short and well timed, so you have live music for all the big moments. Your performer can also cue a pre-recorded song during any break that fits your overall song selection style.

Pricing depends on your performance length, the number of moments you’d like covered, and whether you’d like to add extra instruments or a DJ later in the night. Rather than a one-size-fits-all price, we build a tailored quote around your day. Get in touch for a free consultation and an accurate quote for your wedding.

Yes. You can roll solo, or add an extra musician or instrument to accompany your soloist. Popular add-ons include acoustic guitar, piano or cello for the ceremony, and electric guitar, drums or saxophone to lift the energy at your reception.
