01.
Sign up & view your wedding dashboard
Click ‘Post Wedding Request’
Enter key details like your wedding date and music preferences. By submitting, you'll automatically create a free account.
Welcome to your personalised dashboard, complete with a countdown to your big day and a handy wedding day planner!
02.
Choose how you want to find your musician
You’ve got two easy options for finding the perfect wedding entertainment
Post a general request
Fill out the request form with your event details—music start/end times, your vision for the day, and anything else you want to share. Then sit back and let the quotes come to you. Available musicians will reply, and you can pick the one you love!
Or
Browse & request directly
Prefer to hand-pick your musician? No problem! Browse our talented lineup you can filter by act type—bands, harpists, sax players, and more. Or by occasion, like drinks reception or main entertainment. Found someone you love? Send them a direct request, and if they’re available, they’ll get back to you with a quote.
03.
Sit back & wait for quotes
If you posted a general request, musicians will start sending quotes directly to your dashboard. We’ll email you when new quotes arrive, or you can log in anytime to check.
04.
Review quotes, chat to musicians & make decisions
From your dashboard, you can:
- Review and respond to quotes via the messaging tool.
- Accept a quote from your preferred musician.
- Add another request if you’d like more acts, such as a DJ for the reception or a soloist for your aisle walk.
- Or, if you need more time, to think or discuss with the other half, pause incoming quotes at any time with the push of a button.
05.
Secure your act...stress-free
You can choose either of the following options:
- Pay upfront to get everything sorted right away and tick one more thing off your to-do list.
- Spread payments with our interest-free plan to ease the financial strain while securing your dream musician.*
Spread the cost with no interest
no credit checks required
*You can spread payments monthly (with 0% interest), with the final payment due one month before your wedding day. For full details, see our terms and conditions.
