Southern Sky Duo

If you want more then just our duo, then the trio is right for you!

If your chasing that extra “something” then the added texture and layers of the guitar trio will be sure to create a luscious sound scape.

If you want to pump the dance floor or keep the atmosphere alive then the drum trio is for you. Incredibly versatile as it can be blended into the background while still having a full sound, or you could have it driving the beat of the dance floor and everything in between!

The third is the vibrant keys trio. Not only do you get the versatile keyboard as a third instrument, you also get a third vocalist who’s harmonies are just the icing on the cake. This trio is known for its large sound and versatility, being able to play nearly every occasion!

We always check with our clients the dress code of the event. We are happy to dress for the occasion and love a good dress up.

Some of our favourites so far include Christmas in July, Hawaiian New Year, White Wedding, Lord of the Rings Wedding as well as the classics, semi formal, cocktail, black tie.

Above all, we always make sure ourselves and our other musicians are presentable and dressed for the occasion.

Band vs DJ is a battle that is all to common! For us, the main difference we find is based off the music you want to hear for your reception.

A DJ will specialise in electronically produced music, can change sets and do song requests on the fly and will have a broader range of music. A DJ is also great in a smaller space with a smaller crowd as a DJ takes up less room and can adjust sound levels easier.

A band will have smaller style of music available however, the energy brought in from the entire band is infectious and transfers on to the dance floor. Crowd involvement is easier and we can even get that talented friend up for a sing with us. A band will work best with large groups of people, these events then end up feeling like a large incredible concert!

Above all the difference comes down to what you listen to and what gets you up faster to dance the night away!!

This all depends on the package you choose.

For outdoor performances where we only need our portable setup, we only need 15 minutes. For receptions where the DJ booth and live music is being done usually an hour is needed. When combining the two usually around 90 minutes but we will always discuss with the couple.

for corporate events our duos and trios normally take around 1 hour to set up and will always make sure we are setup prior to the event starting as to not ruin your atmosphere.

Private parties and public events we allow for the same time of roughly 1 hour however these tend to be just before we play as these events are less formal (we will always check this and discuss with the event/party organisers)

The band will always take longer and due to so many instruments we try to be set up well before the event starts as to get sound checks in before any of your guests arrive!

Of course! We organise a meeting with all our clients a few months before the wedding to go through all the details and get to know you a bit before the big day.

We plan one in person meeting day per month at a local cafe and try to schedule as many meetings in that day when possible. If this date or location does not work for you, we alternatively offer zoom meetings.

If you have an queries at any point during the wedding planning process, our phones are always on and we are always at the other end, ready to help with any questions you may have.
