Booking the hum - tips and suggestions

For the organiser

This information will help us work together to give you the best outcome.

WEDDINGS

The band offers a music plan for weddings that involves any, or all of 3 parts:

During the ceremony itself, a small group could play as an acoustic ensemble playing the song of your choice.

Early in the night, you will want to play a more chilled / lounge type groove music in the background, to ensure there is constant feel good factor in the room.

Of course, after dinner and the formalities, if you are looking to get everyone straight onto the dance-floor then you really need a serious band! This is where The HUM have earned their reputation - playing music for the dance floor

* The band are capable of playing slick jazz standards if you need a specific mood to be created. There is an extra charge for this unit as this is outside our set list scope and requires extra instruments to be brought to the venue.
