FAQs

Get in contact to check our availability and we can chat about what you would like and what works for your event and venue. We’ll arrange the live entertainment for your reception and all your live wedding music.

We can design your entertainment based on your budget, venue size and any other specific needs. We play as an 8-piece band with male and female lead vocals and horns in our premium package. Our most booked packages are the 7 & 8 piece setups so it’s always live and always fun!

We can tailor our look for your special day. We roll out in boutique formal dress as our standard attire and we can adjust from there by going black tie or smart casual. Included in your booking is our pre-reception meeting approximately 1 month before the big day where we can confirm your needs.

We play music for the Hora, the Tarantella (as well as some other Italian classics), an Anglo-Indian Grand March and Kolo live. This ensures you get a rockin’ dance floor with all the party hits you love including music for your relatives who have often travelled far to share this night with you. We work with you and your venue to ensure you get exactly what you want.

Yes, DJ services are included in all live band packages and MC services can be added for a small fee, no need to ask a family member or friend to help you out. Our professional DJ and MC services keep the party moving during formalities and in the short band breaks when the dance floor is jumping – you can let all your guests relax and enjoy the night! If you have an MC in mind, we will work with them on the night and they are most welcome to use our wireless microphone. A good place to start is to contact us and chat about what you have in mind.

Yes, no problem at all. Normally venues have their setup and it may be best to use theirs but we can work this out with you and the venue to make sure we have you covered.

Absolutely not! We believe in delivering exceptional live music from talented musicians who regularly perform together. Our well-rehearsed band showcases impressive 3 and 4 part vocal harmonies with a tight, professional sound. As Melbourne’s dedicated wedding band, we love creating unforgettable music for celebrations across Victoria! You can even preference your choice of band leaders, and since we perform regularly in both wedding and corporate scenes, you can rest assured that even in the unlikely event of an emergency, we’ve got you completely covered.

Our packages include up to 5 1/2 hours attendance featuring multiple sets of live music, and background music all controlled through our sound system. Set times can be adjusted to fit in with your running sheet and formalities. We think great Melbourne wedding bands must be flexible to keep the party going. We work to accommodate you and the formalities on the night.

It takes us approximately 60 – 90 mins (just prior to the reception) to fully set up and sound-check the band. This is included in your booking and we work with your venue to ensure this does not interfere with your event.

Yes, we often play a bridal waltz or a special dance. Having your wedding band perform your bridal waltz is all part of the fun of hiring a specialist wedding band. Contact us and let us know what you have in mind. We’ll be in touch within 24 hours to discuss it with you.

Absolutely! You can see a list of some of our favourites on the Meet the band section (there is a larger list available by email) and we pride ourselves on our versatility as a Melbourne wedding band. If there are a couple of songs you want that we don’t have listed we can learn them especially for you. We work with you to ensure you get a tailored night of music that you and all your guests will enjoy.

Craig Francis Music live entertainment also retains one of Melbourne’s best string quartets and we can easily add them to our entertainment packages. They can also be booked separately.
