OVERVIEW

We are a husband-and-wife team bringing live music to weddings across Brisbane, Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast and beyond. With a tight-knit group of experienced musicians, we offer everything from intimate acoustic sets for your ceremony through to a full 5-piece band for your reception and dance floor.

Available as a duo, trio or full band, with DJ, MC and other add-ons, we make it easy to design a music experience completely tailored to your day.


What you’ll love about working with IMESSA for your Brisbane wedding:

  • A truly personal service: When you book with us, you deal directly with us from your very first enquiry right through to the moment we pack up on your wedding night. We're with you every step of the way so you can feel confident the music is taken care of.
  • Flexibility that works for you and your budget: Our musicians can perform across multiple formats throughout your day, meaning the same talented team who play your reception can also cover your ceremony and cocktail hour in a smaller acoustic setting. It keeps the music consistent and is a much better value than hiring separately for each part of the day.
  • Musicians who love what they do: When we're on stage, the chemistry is genuine, and the energy is real. We don't just play music, we put on a show. Your guests will feel it from the first song, and they'll be talking about it long after the wedding.
  • A setlist built for weddings: We specialise in pop, rock and party anthems from the '70s through to now. Expect all the crowd favourites alongside some bold surprises that will keep the dance floor buzzing all night long. We can even throw in some country or alt-rock if that's your vibe.

FAQ

Absolutely! We love playing music that our couples love, which is why before your big day we'll ask you for your must-haves and your absolute no-plays. We then customise our set based on your tastes so the music feels personal to you. We can also chat with you about choosing songs for the big moments — your first dance, reception entrance, or any other special moment throughout the night.

For a typical reception we provide 180 minutes of live music spread across roughly a 5 hour period. Our standard set time is 45 minutes, but we're super flexible and can make sets longer or shorter to fit in with your run sheet — just let us know what works best for your day.

We're based in Brisbane and typically service Brisbane, Sunshine Coast, Gold Coast and surrounding areas. If your wedding is outside of these areas, we're happy to discuss travel on a case by case basis — just keep in mind that travel fees will apply.

 Absolutely! We gig weekly and post our gig guide regularly on social media so you can find a date and time that suits. Get in touch with us and we'll also point you in the direction of the best gig to come along to — we'd love to see you there!

We use industry tour grade speakers and sub so the dance floor really pops. Our lighting setup includes multiple lights that illuminate the stage and create a really authentic live music vibe — it makes a huge difference to the overall atmosphere on the night.

 We put together a customised playlist for every wedding based on your brief and music tastes, so there are no awkward silences between sets. You're also more than welcome to send us your own Spotify playlists if you'd prefer something more personal.

Even better — we have our own dedicated client microphone available for use anytime throughout the night, so you and your guests are covered for speeches, toasts and any other special moments.

A typical call time is around 1 hour before the reception start time, which allows us to set up and sound check before your guests arrive. If you need us there earlier for any reason, we can absolutely accommodate that — just let us know and we'll factor the extra load in time into your quote.

AI Summary Review Summary
This is an AI generated summary of this supplier's rating and feedback.
Imessa sounds like the dream choice for couples who want their wedding atmosphere to feel seamless, energetic, and genuinely “you.” Guests consistently loved how their music set the tone—beautiful cocktail hour melodies, then a dance floor that stayed alive with smooth, thoughtful transitions across eras and genres. Couples mention the band’s approachable, flexible and organised communication, plus their ability to handle short notice and even special moments like incorporating a first dance song. With an impressive repertoire to match any crowd and strong value for money, Imessa comes through as reliable performers who truly know how to keep everyone connected.

June 2026

Costa and Mel (IMessa) were absolutely incredible. They created the perfect atmosphere at our wedding in late 2025. We only had a small event, but the music truly set the perfect tone and brought so much energy, fun, and connection to the night. We absolutely loved it - and so did our guests! IMessa went above and beyond, not only did they extend their sale at the time for us, but they agreed to play at our event on short notice, and at a location 3hrs away. They helped make the night unforgettable and we just loved dancing the night away!

Lauren J.

IMESSA

Thank you so much for your review Lauren. We had the best time celebrating with you and your beautiful friends and family! The 3 hour drive was absolutely worth it :)

May 2026

Imessa recently played at our wedding, and they were absolutely fantastic! We have been fans of Imessa for a long time, and when we got engaged, it was a no-brainer as to who we wanted to play at our wedding. Mel and Costa were approachable, flexible and organised. They were very easy to work with and provided so many options for our wedding. The only difficulty was looking through their immense repertoire and trying to narrow down a set list! On the day, Imessa absolutely brought the vibes! Graham played a beautiful cocktail hour set – his performance was impeccable and set the tone for the evening. Imessa then had the dance floor pumping! They were everything we wanted and more. From old school classics to new bangers and everything in between, their seamless sets were a massive hit with our guests. We never thought we’d hear “Can You Feel the Love Tonight” into “Killing In The Name”, but Imessa not only played it, but nailed it! Costa then rounded out the evening with an epic DJ set. He kept the dance floor moving and grooving in the wee hours. There are no words in our vocabulary to describe how grateful we are for Imessa, so we’ll leave it at this…we cannot recommend Imessa more highly!

This is the nicest review ever! Thanks Adam 😌 We had the best time ❤️

April 2026

IMESSA were absolutely fantastic, they mixed the tempo on the styles of the music perfectly depending on the specific circumstance of the wedding and reception, they even did an impromptu upbeat rendition of our first dance song later in the evening, which really got the crowd buzzing. I couldn't recommend these guys enough absolutely fantastic people, musicians and just nailed every aspect of their performance at our wedding.

Thank you Stephen! I'm so happy to hear this feedback. We felt very special being a part of yours and Nikki's big day <3

March 2026

I’ve known this group since working behind the bar at Brooklyn standard in 2018. They always rocked. I got married in 2024 and my wife who used to come along to Brooklyn had zero hesitation on suggesting Imessa for our wedding band, and my gosh they did not miss! The crew are great to work with, great selection of songs and genres and to top it off well worth the cash spent which was a big consideration for the budget. 11/10 coz 5/5 won’t do it.

IMESSA

Thank you so much Conor! We had the best time at yours and Gabby's wedding <3
