Music Choices
1 / Do You have a list of Wedding Songs we have to choose from?
I will provide you with my set lists during the planning process. These are constantly being updated and expanded. If you have your heart set on certain songs that are not on my current list don't worry! I offer an add on to any package where you can add up to three songs, not on my set list.
2 / What instruments can I choose from?
I sing as well as playing the piano, autoharp, shruti box (drone), tin whistle, low whistle, accordion and drum.
In addition to this I can also provide male vocals, guitar and violin/fiddle.
3 / What type of music do you perform for Drink's Receptions?
Depending on how many musicians you have booked many styles of music can be covered.
Previously I have done Irish, Scottish, Folk, Jazz, Easy Listening, Acoustic Covers of Modern Songs, Christmas, Country, Trad and Musical Theatre sets. I can also do combinations of more than one style.
4 / Do you play music before the wedding starts?
I provide up to 30 minutes of light background music before your ceremony starts.
Other Questions
1 / What do you wear?
I usually wear something semi formal, however if you have a specific dress code let me know and I can work to that.
2 / Do you provide your own sound equipment?
I provide all required equipment. I currently use a Yamaha Stage Pass PA system which is tested on a regular basis. All instruments used are well maintained and of a high quality.
Acoustic performances, lovely for smaller weddings, can also be provided on request.
3 /What if a musician cannot attend? (Illness, Covid19, Bereavements etc.)
If a musician is unable to attend we will contact you immediately to alert you to the situation. You will then have the choice of continuing with your remaining musician (if you’ve booked more than just Kerry) or having us try to replace the missing musician.
If you continue with the remaining musicians you will not be charged for the missing musician on the day. If a replacement is found the full amount will still be due.
If you have booked Kerry on her own and she is unable to attend we will try and find a replacement for her. If we are unable to do this you will be refunded in full.
4 /What if there's a weather warning on the day of my wedding?
In the rare event of a red weather warning (in our home area, an area being travelled through or the wedding location) we reserve the right to cancel the booking and will repay you any monies (minus the deposit) already paid.
