Why You Should Book Your 2027 Wedding Music Now
The “Booked Out” Reality
If you’re planning a 2027 wedding, this is not a sales tactic. It’s simply the reality of how the wedding industry works.
All of my Fridays and Saturdays for 2026 are already booked. Completely full.
Over the past few months, I’ve had several couples reach out hoping to secure me for their 2026 wedding, only to find out their date was already taken. Those conversations are never easy. I genuinely hate saying no to couples who are excited and ready to book, but once a date is gone, it’s gone.
That’s why I’m opening conversations for 2027 now.
The Wedding Industry Timeline
In the Central West NSW and surrounding regions, couples are booking key vendors earlier than ever. Venues are often secured 18 to 24 months out. Once the venue is locked in, the next pieces usually follow quickly: celebrant, photographer, and entertainment.
Music is not something you leave until six months out anymore. By then, most established, working wedding musicians already have their peak dates committed.
If you’re planning a relaxed country wedding, a luxury venue celebration, or a full party-style reception, the timeline is the same. Secure the people you really want early.
Why Booking Early Matters
There are practical benefits to locking in your music well ahead of time.
-
Locked-in pricing for early bookings
-
The option for custom song learning where appropriate
-
Access to full wedding packages tailored to ceremony, canapés, and reception
-
High-end production options including Cold Spark Machines, confetti effects, and haze, pending venue approval
Booking early gives us time to plan properly. It removes stress. It allows your music to feel intentional rather than last-minute.
Experience Matters
I’ve performed at weddings across the Central West NSW and beyond, at venues ranging from relaxed country settings to high-end reception spaces. Every wedding is different, but the goal is always the same: create a soundtrack that feels like you.
When you book early, you’re not just securing a date. You’re securing peace of mind.

I’m grateful to be in a position where my calendar fills early. That only happens because couples trust me with one of the most important days of their lives.
If 2027 is your year, let’s make sure the music is locked in early.
