Wedding music for any budget

There is no set price and no package. Put your budget in the request and the musicians shape the day to it.

A soloist for the ceremony and the canapé hour. A duo that carries the whole afternoon and lifts for the evening. A band for the reception, a DJ for the dancing, or both. Any musician who takes private bookings can quote to it, so a modest budget gets a straight answer about what it buys rather than a package it does not fit, and a bigger one gets the full evening. Asking is free, you can ask several acts, and nothing is charged until you accept a quote.

Live music for weddings across Perth

Hire a wedding singer, an acoustic duo, a band or a DJ, and we run everything after "yes".

Open Dawn is a Perth live entertainment agency run by a working musician. We book professional musicians and DJs for weddings, match the act to each part of your day, brief them on your run sheet and your venue, and confirm the lot in writing. You deal with one person and get one invoice. The performers turn up, set up and play, and you get married.

Yannai, who runs Open Dawn, has played more than 500 gigs himself and has booked live music for rooms from The Landing in Alkimos to Lake Karrinyup Country Club. That is the standard your day is booked against.

Ceremony, canapés and reception

Three different jobs, often three different sounds. We match each one rather than stretching one act across a day it does not fit.

The ceremony

Acoustic music as guests arrive, the song you walk in to, and something worth signing to. A soloist or duo, unplugged or lightly amplified, matched to the space and the moment.

The canapé hour

The stretch between the ceremony and the reception is where an afternoon either hums or stalls. A relaxed acoustic set keeps the energy warm while the photos happen.

The reception

Dinner sets that stay under the conversation, then a band or a wedding DJ that gets the room on its feet. Volume, set times and the last song, all agreed before the day. Want a DJ for the reception? See wedding DJs in Perth.

How booking wedding musicians works

Step one

Make a free account

A name, an email and a password, and it opens the moment you confirm your email. No vetting, nothing to pay, nothing to keep track of in an inbox.

Step two

Browse, or ask for a recommendation

Browse local musicians and DJs, with photos, videos and song lists, and send the details of the day to the ones you like. Or tell Yannai about the wedding, by phone or the form, and have an act recommended to you.

Step three

Free quotes, then the date is yours

Each musician writes a quote for their part of the day. Accept the ones you want and the date is locked in. Nothing is charged until you accept, and cancelling with two weeks' notice is free.

Questions couples ask

How much does a wedding musician cost in Perth?

Every wedding is quoted for the day itself, because a twenty-minute ceremony set and a full evening of live music are different jobs. Put the venue, the times, your budget and what you want the day to sound like in the request, and each act writes a quote for their part of the day. Asking is free, and the quotes arrive in your account.

We have a small budget. Can we still have live music at our wedding?

Yes. Put your budget in the request and the musicians quote to it: a soloist for the ceremony, a duo for the afternoon, or a band or DJ for the evening. There is no set price and no package, every quote is written for your day, and asking is free.

Can the same musicians play the ceremony and the reception?

Usually, yes. A soloist or duo can carry the ceremony and canapés acoustically and then lift for the evening, or we book separate acts for each part of the day. It depends on the spaces and the running order, and we work that out with you before anything is confirmed.

Do the musicians bring their own equipment?

Yes. Every performer we book brings their own instruments and PA, sets up before your guests are seated and packs down without fuss. If your venue has quirks, tell us and we brief the act on them before the day.

What kind of music can we have at our wedding?

Acoustic soloists, duos, full bands and DJs, across the styles that suit a wedding. Tell us what you both listen to and what you want each part of the day to feel like, and we match performers who play it.

Which areas of Perth do you cover for weddings?

All of the Perth metro area, and we travel beyond it for the right day. City rooms, wineries, function centres, backyards and beaches all work. Tell us where you are getting married and we will tell you what suits the space.

How far ahead should we book wedding musicians?

As early as you can. A wedding date is fixed, and popular Saturdays fill up first. Ask about your date and you will know straight away whether it is free.

Booking music for something else?
