Wedding Singers & Bands FAQ
Signing the register
This shouldn't take too long, but we recommend to have around three songs prepared just in case. It may take longer than you think if you are having photographs taken, too.
Regardless of the time of year 8:15 to 8:30pm seems to be the most popular time to do the first dance. The first dance is the first dance the couple do together as husband and wife, NOT the first dance of the evening as people will always be wanting to dance prior to this.
Many wedding planners will advise cutting the cake fairly early on in the evening, so shortly after evening guests arrive is usually the perfect time followed immediately by the first dance.
Obviously the amount of time for the DJing will be dependent on how coverage you've paid for. The normal, optimal length for a wedding reception is 4 hours (this includes the dinner portion). When you add in cocktail hour and the ceremony, there would be another 2 hours of music.
Are you asking yourself the question, "When should I go wedding dress shopping?" Ideally, you should start the process about 10 to 12 months before your wedding date. The best time to purchase your wedding gown is at least 8 months before your wedding!

Wedding Band Collective - Wedding Singers & Bands Melbourne
0418 110 845
Hi everyone, I'm Ben & I am the owner/director of Wedding Band Collective.
I am a professional musician, and since studying music at university, I have been playing in & managing bands, and now I DJ too!
A few years ago, when I was fresh out of university, I was lucky enough to join a couple of bands that took me overseas, touring and recording around Australia, NZ, and Europe. While on tour, I met the love of my life at a gig in Germany, and luckily for me, she decided to move to Australia. Since then, I have stopped touring and focused on playing and booking gigs in my hometown of Melbourne.
My wife and I got married a few years ago, and our wedding was truly amazing. The best part was having an incredible live band that had people on the dance floor the entire night. Since then, I have spent my efforts providing that same experience to brides & grooms on their big day. I love playing weddings with my bands and helping couples plan their big day, whether it is my band playing or one of the other great acts I look after.

Newcastle Wedding Bands - Wedding Singers & Bands Melbourne
02 4962 1844
The After Party
4 Guys, Great Music, and a Great Time! That is "The After Party" in a nutshell. These men have one goal: to entertain with a collection of songs spanning the decades, including Pop, Rock, R&B, and even Rap. This band takes their 90s rock-influenced style, strong three-part male vocals, and witty stage banter to the next level. A diverse and adaptable musical repertoire, as well as the addition of a drummer on request, make The After Party a truly versatile act for any venue or private/corporate function.
Lead Vocals: Russel McDonald is the ultimate frontman. Realising he could sing at the age of 13, Russell had an early interest in RnB before branching out into Rock and deciding he loved it. Also had experience in the industry as the lead singer of former Newcastle band Gravity 12 and helping establish local originals band Surmiza before moving on to other projects. Russell, an extremely capable guitarist, chooses to put down the axe and take centre stage in “The After Party” to deliver a dynamic and always engaging performance upfront.

How Wedding Singers in Melbourne Can Make a Difference

If not, it’s time to think about the tone you want to set by organising the music to accompany your event. Having a perfect wedding is about having every aspect in place- including the music. The music you have will dictate the mood for the event and make it even more personal. Many wedding receptions end up lack-lustre only because not enough attention was paid to the music.
