I would just like to say thank you for playing at my event. It created a great ambience and I would love you down at the next one!
Mr and Mrs Birch, Wedding, Essex
We weren't sure on which band to go with for our wedding, but the WMD Trio provided such a wide range of material it catered for each and every persons needs. We didn't realise how important it would be having music but it turned out to be a major part of creating the right mood. Highly recommended.
The WMD Trio have had a large amount of experience playing for many weddings, parties, awards ceremonies and corporate events.
A few of these include:
- Birmingham University
- The West Midlands Motor Museum
- The University of London
The WMD Trio also have experience with COMS.
Our performance times are normally in blocks of 45 or 50 minute sets. Below are a few ideas of how you might like to structure your music around your event:
- Bronze: 2 sets of non-intrusive background jazz for a classy setting.
- Silver: 3 sets of background jazz; 2 sets before your meal and 1 set after, with a few more energetic numbers
- Gold: 4 sets of background jazz; 2 sets before, 1 set during and 1 set after your meal.
The above are suggestions, however we are able to accommodate any requests.
- Set up: We require a minimum of 15 minutes to set up and soundcheck, in a space 6ftx6ft or larger.
- Power: We require a local power supply
- Dress: We will always look smart - suit and tie or dinner jackets
- Requests: Of course!
