Champagne Package: Our most popular option, the Champagne Package brings statement entertainment to perfectly elevate and complement your wedding celebration. It includes a 1 x 40-minute gentle set, ideal for your afternoon reception as guests mingle, followed by 2 x 40-minute wedding breakfast party sets that we are best known for.

Prosecco Package: Perfect for wedding breakfasts, this package works well with either 2 x 45-minute sets or 3 x 30-minute sets, which can be placed throughout your meal courses. Another popular option is to have 1 x 30-minute set during your afternoon reception and 2 x 30-minute sets during the wedding breakfast.

Cognac Package: Designed for couples who want the ultimate live music experience on their wedding day, the Cognac Package is our most immersive and high-energy option. A professional sound team is included to deliver exceptional audio throughout the day. The experience begins with a saxophone welcome set to create a relaxed, elegant ambience as guests arrive. The Travelling Hands then bring vibrant, acoustic performances that can be spread throughout your day as you see fit – whether that’s a laid-back afternoon set, live music during your wedding breakfast, or a lively evening performance to kick-start the party. Following that, our saxophonist and percussionist perform alongside your DJ, adding an electrifying live element to the dancefloor and keeping the celebrations going late into the night.

Yes, you can! You can upgrade from our 5-piece band to a 6-piece band for both the Prosecco and Champagne packages. Simply let us know if you’re interested in a 6-piece band for your celebrations, and we’ll confirm pricing and check availability straight away.

Our wedding breakfast performances are what we’re best known for! This is a special time when your friends and family are all seated together in one room for a few hours, and we can help you make the most of it. Our musical experience brings your guests together, ignites the celebrations, and sets the tone for the party—before you’ve even reached the dancefloor.

Picture saxophone solos from the chairs, guests clapping along, or even getting on their feet! Performances work beautifully after speeches, providing a lively contrast to those quieter, heartfelt moments and helping everyone celebrate after the final toast to the happy couple!

Absolutely! In addition to the wedding breakfast, there are several other popular times where we often perform:

Champagne or Cocktail Hours: Typically held in the afternoon after the ceremony, this is a wonderful time for a welcome set. While you’re whisked away for photographs, your guests can enjoy drinks and begin to settle into the day. Our performances during this time provide a light, ambient backdrop that complements conversation and relaxation. Whether your guests are outdoors or spread across different areas, our roaming style ensures we can reach them wherever they are.

Pre-Wedding Day Party or Rehearsal Dinner: Hosting a party or rehearsal dinner the night before your wedding? Live music is always a fantastic addition! Whether during a drinks reception or as the main entertainment for the evening, our roaming performances bring a fun, interactive element that surprises and delights guests. With opportunities to sing, dance, and kick off the celebrations in style, it’s a memorable way to set the tone for the big day.

Post-Wedding Day Lunch: The day after the wedding is another great opportunity to feature live music. Whether your guests are winding down and enjoying a slower-paced lunch or still in a celebratory mood, we tailor our performances accordingly—offering gentle ambience or lively entertainment to keep the celebrations going.

Our 5-piece band features two acoustic guitars, double bass, saxophone, and percussion—all performed by singing musicians.

The 6-piece band adds an additional acoustic guitarist to the lineup, enhancing the overall sound and energy of the performance.

Amplified performances ensure that all your guests can enjoy the music simultaneously, no matter where they are seated or standing. With this setup, our team works with your event’s production company, or we can recommend trusted providers (think of this as your sound and light experts). They’ll supply wireless microphones and packs for our instruments, allowing us to maintain the roaming entertainment we’re known for while projecting the music through speakers placed around the performance area.

Imagine a live playlist during your wedding breakfast, where every guest can enjoy the music—even if we’re performing at a table on the opposite side of the room. Amplification enhances the delivery of the music and elevates the overall experience.

We highly recommend this option, especially for larger weddings or parties where you’d like the music to take centre stage. It’s a fantastic way to heighten the experience for you and your guests.

Yes! We love joining guests on the dance floor for an immersive, high-energy performance that brings the celebration to life. It’s a fantastic way to keep the party going and create unforgettable memories with your friends and family.

To ensure the best sound and atmosphere, amplification is required for dance floor sets. This allows us to maintain the clarity, volume, and energy needed to deliver a truly impactful performance. We’re happy to work with your production team or recommend trusted AV partners to help make it all seamless.

We perform a carefully curated selection of songs from different decades, designed to ensure guests of all ages can enjoy the music during your celebration. Click here to see the most popular songs that we perform.
