We provide everything - Ourselves, our instruments, microphones, all the speakers and PA, the lighting, and as much live music as you want. Our philosophy is to take the entire weight of the entertainment side of your event completely off your shoulders.
We don’t price should be an issue when booking the right band for your wedding, but understand that you need to keep an eye on the bottom line.

Probably! We are an experienced, professional band which has an extensive songlist. You’re welcome to send through any song requests and if we don’t already know them, we’ll be happy to learn them for you if it’s for a special request (for a bridal dance etc.).
We have a single fee depending on the package you’re after. For a reception for example, we can play as much or as little as you’d like, with 100% flexibility. The reason for that is that things often don’t go as exactly as the run sheet says – so, we’re there long before your reception starts, and are there until after you’ve left, and for that entire time consider us yours! No hidden fees or extra charges, no GST. It couldn’t be simpler. For weddings out of the CBD, we charge $50 per musican per hour of travel.

Our wedding setlist has been tailored and refined over hundreds of events, and our philosophy to have something for everyone – so guests of all ages can enjoy the music and hear songs that they know and love. In saying that, our setlist is fully customizable based on your preferences, and if there’s any specific artists you’d like to hear for your wedding all you have to do is let us know.
We are quite flexible with this – Ideally for the full band we require a 5x3 meter space. You may also want to consider having us located away from any tables to ensure guests are not located too close to our speakers.
Yes. After booking, one of our consultants will be available by phoneor email at any time if you’ve got any follow up questions in regards to the band, or your wedding in general. We are happy to make recommendations in regards to venues, MC’s, Photographers or anything else, and assist in any way we can.
To lock in Something Like This, all you need to do is let us know the date of your event and that you want to book us. For weddings we require a 10% deposit upfront to secure the booking.
