It’s the final touches that make your event truly spectacular and having live music as a feature is like the icing on a cake – 100% necessary!

Pressing play and having a song sung over a sound system will of course do but on one of the most important days of their life, pulling out all the stops is totally allowed. The emotion and human connection that is shared between singer and audience is what will bring happy tears to your guests and have them talking about your special day for months after.

Here are some frequently asked questions (and answers) that will shed a little more light about having live music at your event and what Songbird Sessions provide.

Why choose Songbird Sessions for your event.
We live and breath music and our love for it is impossible not to share with others. We pride ourselves on being the best in acoustic entertainment for events no matter how big or small and strive to make each and every one of our clients feel looked after from that first phone call or email all the way until the big day.

I can’t decide what part of my day I’d like you to perform?
This depends whether you want us to be more of a main feature or if you’d prefer us more as background detail. For us, the most important moments are those that take place during your ceremony and choosing us to feature during this time is a sure fire way to fully immerse yourself in our sounds as you make that slow and stunning walk down the aisle. Our wedding drinks reception /corporate drinks packages ensure that everyone is kept entertained before they sit down to eat and hear those much anticipated speeches.

What if I have an absolutely favourite song that isn’t on your set lists?
Don’t worry, our Ceremony package includes 1 song that is entirely your choice. We know how important it is for your ceremony to feel unique and this is a perfect way to ensure that it does.

Why females only singers?
Why not? We are feminists. We are boss women. We are sisters doing it for themselves. Our inspiration for being a female fronted company comes from all of the inspiring women we have around us. Our past vocal teachers, artists we love like Aretha Franklin, Whitney Houston, Madonna, Beyoncé, Annie Lennox, our mothers, sisters, friends…the list goes on and on.

Do I have to sort out the sound equipment, I mean, what IS a PA?
Don’t even worry about these things – that’s our job! We come with our own dedicated sound team and take these logistics entirely off your hands.

Do you only perform acoustically?
That is our niche. We provide beautifully crafted acoustic music that perfectly compliments the earlier part of your day. Whether for your wedding ceremony, corporate welcome drinks or even up to your first dance, we are as integral to your day as your beautifully hand picked venue and what type of gin you will serve.

What music genres do you provide?
Our set lists comprise of the very best pop, soul and Motown classics. We also offer a specific choir set list of songs that has been personally arranged by us and is performed by our Contemporary soul choir. Our choir packages start at 8 singers and build all the way up to 15 singers. For more information please get in contact.

I’ve seen the singers on the website that I like, will I be guaranteed they’ll be the ones at my event?
Unfortunately not, though it’s quite likely that if you follow us on social media, you’ll recognise at least one of the singers that you have seen with us. All of our singers are at the top of their game and we can guarantee that you will not be disappointed.
