The All-in-One Wedding Package
Want a rough price first? Build Your Day →
The All-in-One covers your whole wedding day with one booking. I play live acoustic music for guest arrival, the ceremony, canapés and dinner, solo or as a duo, then DJ the reception with dance floor lighting. The music builds with the day, from a quiet ceremony to a full dance floor, and there’s no handover between different acts. I’m based in Lower Longley and play weddings across Hobart, Launceston and the East Coast.
I only take one wedding a day, so the whole day is yours.
This is a starting point, not a fixed package. Every quote is built around your day
How the music changes through your day.
A wedding day has a few different moods, and the music should change with them. I start with live acoustic music, solo or as a duo, for guest arrival, the ceremony and canapés. It's relaxed, and guests can still talk over it. After the first dance I switch to a DJ set built around the music you've told me you love, and I adjust it as the night goes, based on who's on the floor.
The gear is chosen to look neat as well as sound right. Speakers sit on clean stands with black or white covers, so the setup suits your venue's styling instead of standing out in your photos. The same sound system has covered events of more than 300 people. The lighting is run live: soft white through dinner, then pastel colours on the dance floor, or any colour you like. It's soft enough to look good in your photos too.
How a typical day runs:
• Morning: reception setup goes in first, then a second setup for canapés if they're in a different space.
• 2:30 pm: guests arrive to live acoustic music.
• 3:00 pm: ceremony, with your songs for the walk in, the signing and the walk out.
• 3:45 to 5:30 pm: canapés and photos, with acoustic music.
• 6:15 to 8:15 pm: dinner and speeches, with acoustic between the formalities.
• 8:30 pm: first dance, then the DJ set.
• 11:30 pm: last song.
Times move around for every wedding. The point is that each part has its own setup ready before guests arrive.
Why one booking for the whole day works.
Everyone hears the speeches, even at the back.
In a long room, speakers at the front are too loud for the nearest tables and too quiet for the far ones. Once you're past about 70 guests, I add small wireless speakers through the space, timed so the sound arrives together. Everyone hears the same thing at a comfortable level. The same setup has covered events of more than 300 people.
Nothing gets packed up mid-party.
Your ceremony, canapés and reception each get their own setup, all in place before guests arrive. When everyone moves, the music is already there.
A plan for rain and for gear trouble.
My ceremony gear lives in one case on wheels. If the weather turns, it moves inside in under five minutes. Spares for anything essential stay in the van, so if something fails you won't know it happened.
If you add Nikayla:
Two voices and instruments through the day, someone out on the floor taking requests while I mix, and manual lighting cues that read the room as well as the music.
Serving Iconic Venues Across Hobart & Tasmania
Caledon Estate:
Ceremony by the sandstone wall, canapés on the deck, reception inside. Three setups, each ready before guests reach it.
Rayburn Farm:
Ceremonies and canapés out on the farm run on battery, then the reception moves to the barn.
Peppermint Bay:
Guests often arrive on the catamaran from Hobart. The dining room is long with high ceilings, so I add speakers down the room and the back tables hear the speeches as well as the front.
Glen Albyn Estate:
Ceremony and canapés on the Riverview Deck, then dinner and dancing in the Pool Room. The uplighting that lights dinner moves to the dancefloor for the DJ set.
The East Coast | Remote Properties & Beachfront Airbnbs:
For ceremonies near Bicheno or the Bay of Fires with no power nearby, the ceremony setup runs on battery. Your reception setup is already in place at the venue, ready for when you all arrive.
Kind Words from a Tasmanian Bride
"We are so happy we chose Tom to perform at our wedding. From the very beginning he was professional, friendly and a great communicator. In the lead up to the day, Tom took the time to ensure everything was well organised and that the music would flow seamlessly throughout the event.
On the day, he truly went above and beyond, managing multiple location set-ups and lighting to create the perfect atmosphere. Both the live and DJ performances couldn’t be faulted, and the music added something really special to our wedding. So many of our guests raved about how great the music was throughout the day.
Performing alongside Nikayla, they were the perfect duo. They immediately understood the crowd of guests we had and created such a great energy throughout the evening, reading the room perfectly and keeping everyone entertained.
We truly appreciated the effort they both put in to make everything perfect. For any events in the future, we would absolutely entrust Tom and Nikayla again and couldn’t recommend them more highly."
