Highlights of working with The Night Creatures for your Melbourne wedding:
“The Night Creatures helped make our wedding day truly amazing! Extremely good vibes and extremely good times were had by all. They learnt the song for our first dance, which made it unforgettable. The dance floor was packed as soon as we opened it up to the crowd, and stayed that way all night!!” — Shaun H, October 2019
About
I'm a full-time performer and artist in Melbourne... and I honestly have the best job ever. This band was started by our former disco queen Phoebe who moved on to do other amazing projects, leaving me at the helm of a spectacular musical crew. Somehow the band has the holy trinity of traits for any bands - everyone is exceptionally talented, we love hanging out together and we love playing music. Nothing makes us happier than sharing what we do and seeing smiling faces on the dance floor.

We'll do 1 x 40min funky jazz, instrumental set at the start of the night, or during meals - basically at a point in the evening when you want some vibe but no dancing yet. Then we'll do either 3 x 40min or 2 x 60min party sets. It may not seem like a lot of music but once you factor in speeches, meal service and cake cutting etc, it's heaps! In our experience, often we have to cut songs from our set as speeches run over and we have to finish by a certain time!

Would love some suggestions on first dance songs specifically. Something that will be great filmed for our wedding video. Thank you!
The Night Creatures
Always very personal choice but here are a few we loved performing:
To build a home - Cinematic Orchestra
Saviing all my love for you - Whitney Houston
So into you - Tamia
She moved through the fair - Irish traditional
Can i ask for a dj or band's music sample before i book them?
The Night Creatures
Absolutely!!!!! You should also ask if you can go and see them play live too. Nothing like seeing them entertaining crowds, in the flesh! :)
Which goes first, the first dance or Father/Daughter dance? Thanks!
The Night Creatures
It's completely up to you, however for all the weddings we've done, the first dance usually comes first. Father daughter dance works really well as the first song in the next set. I wouldn't put it after the first dance - usually guests love to come and dance after the first dance, so if you do a second dance whereby the guests can't join in, it might lose momentum a bit... but it's completely up to you guys! :)
