Can I choose which artist I have?
Absolutely! When you email us, we’ll respond with available artists for your date and then you can watch videos and decide who you’d prefer (availability permitting).
Can I mix and match artists from your roster to form a duo?
In most cases, no. The artist you choose most commonly come with their chosen duo partner and are a well-rehearsed, well-prepared duo that’ll be of a much higher quality than a scraped-together duo who have never met, never practiced, and never played together. Some singers do have multiple guitarists, but beyond those circumstances, you are choosing 1 x singer and they come as a duo.
Can we see artists' song lists to help us choose?
While most of our artists have song lists you can view on request, these lists do not offer much assistance in terms of what differentiates the artists; they all have huge repertoires and are adept at multiple genres, so viewing all the lists isn’t as much of a help as you might think. All our artists can do whatever is required, and they keep their set lists flexible and select songs from their repertoire based on the vibe of the day – this is a good thing because every wedding is different! The set that brought the house down at a wedding two weeks ago may fall short at your wedding, and vice versa. The best thing to do is choose the voice you like, not the set list :)
Can we view our artist’s song list and select the songs we want to hear during canapés & early reception?
We can send general song lists upon request so you can get a feel for the type of songs you will hear on the day, and our artists are happy to accommodate a few favourite songs from their list for canapés and early reception, as long as the vibe is right. Please keep in mind that we ask you to limit your favourite songs to 3-4, as many songs may require rehearsing to ensure they are up to scratch, and it's not feasible for our artists to practise client-curated set lists for every wedding.
Are the artists on hold for me once we start talking details?
Unfortunately, we can’t place anyone on hold. From the moment we find out our artists' availabilities we endeavor to swiftly get the booking locked in with you so that you get your first choice. However, our popular artists occasionally get snapped up by someone else in the interim whilst you’re deciding on packages or negotiating terms. We’re really sorry about this, but there’s very little we can do – we don’t have control over our artists' decisions as they also have other agents and their own personal lives, so they take whatever comes first.
Will the artist/s attend the rehearsal?
Unfortunately not. The artists are only booked for the day of your wedding and are not available to attend rehearsals. This is because: a) They have very busy schedules, and b) It is not necessary. Our artists know exactly what they are doing and will nail it for you :)
Which member of the acoustic lineup will be the DJ?
In all acoustic + DJ packages, you have full day coverage from the ceremony until the end of the reception. Whilst most commonly one of the duo members is also the DJ, this is at the discretion of the artist. From time to time certain artists will bring in a separate DJ to cover this element of the night, at no extra cost to you. There are many reasons for this, including workload, lateness of finish, travel times etc, but trust that whoever your DJ is on the night is a trained professional and following the Oberon Lane DJ guide – they will nail your night!
