Questions & Answers
Can live wedding bands perform in a venue with a sound limiter?
All acts at Seventh Second are very used to performing in wedding venues with sound limiters although we would warn anyone that sound limiters are no fun for anyone who enjoys live music or performs live music so if you can book a venue without one, we would strongly recommend it. If your venue does have a sound limiter ask what the decibel limit it is set to and notify any wedding band you are thinking of booking as some sound limiters volume restrictions are set too low for even the smallest and quietest bands to perform within. If a sound limiter is set to 95db or above most bands should be able to perform within this restriction but anything below this, especially anything in the 80's is almost impossible for a live band to work within.
Do you offer any support or security if we book a live wedding band with you?
We supply you and any live wedding band you book with a fully comprehensive contract including covid cover which fully supports you and the artist. You can always view the specifics on our T&C's page. We also have special contact numbers where we are available 24/7 to assist you in any way in case of an emergency or serious issue with one of our live bands. Alternatively, we are always available 10 am to 10 pm, 7 days a week via phone, text, online chat or email.
Can wedding bands perform first dances?
Most wedding bands are happy to perform first dances at weddings provided the couples discuss their song ideas with them beforehand. Not all songs can be replicated by live wedding bands so it's always best to check with your band or their representatives first.
How far in advance should I book a wedding band?
For you to get the wedding band you really want we suggest you look at booking them at least a year in advance. Booking a live wedding band any later than 6 months before your wedding could mean they are already booked up. Popular wedding bands get booked years in advance so when you see the band you want we suggest you book them quickly!
How long does it take a live band to set up, sound check and pack down at a wedding?
If a performance space is easily accessible and near to their vehicles, a live band can unload, set up and sound check within 60 - 90 minutes. Sometimes even 30 - 40 minutes in an emergency. Pack down usually takes around 40 - 60 minutes. Busy city venues, lack of nearby parking and general delays at weddings can increase these times significantly.
Do your live bands have up to date PLI and PAT certification?
PLI and PAT certificates come as standard with all wedding bands at Seventh Second. Any wedding band you are looking at hiring should also have these important documents.
How much space does a wedding music band need to perform?
Wedding bands are usually fully self-contained, meaning they bring quite a lot of lighting and sound equipment to weddings. This means they need a decent amount of space to perform and ideally a stage. Generally speaking, 3 piece wedding bands need 3×3 metres of space, 4 piece wedding bands 4×3 metres, 5 to 6 piece wedding bands 5×3 metres and 7 piece bands or bigger need in excess of 6 to 7×4 metres of performance space.
Can I choose the songs the wedding band performs?
All acts at Seventh Second are happy to discuss and try to implement your song choices as best as possible into their live sets. However, being professional wedding musicians, they will always use their considerable experience when finalising the playlists for the evening which usually strike the perfect balance between your wishes and what they know works and what they know they can perform to their absolute best for you and your guests.

We wanted to drop you a line to thank you so much for an absolutely fantastic performance at our wedding on Saturday and how easy it was working with you and the wedding band. We could not thank you enough and the set list was spot on! The venue we used were so impressed by your band that they have asked for your details to include on their website. Thanks everyone at Seventh Second!
