Anthony Hughes was incredible on our wedding day! Even though our ceremony was delayed, he kept our guests wonderfully entertained with a fantastic selection of songs, creating a warm and lively atmosphere while they waited. His music during the ceremony was beautiful, and we honestly couldn’t fault him. He also did an amazing job blending parts of songs to match the perfect moments, like the bridal party entrance and my entrance right on the chorus. Anthony was also our DJ for the reception, and he absolutely nailed it. He kept the dance floor packed all night with a great mix of songs that we love and a perfect blend of different eras and styles to suit everyone. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about how much fun they had and how Anthony kept the energy high from start to finish. He was a pleasure to work with before the wedding—he listened to what we wanted and was dedicated to making the music perfect for us. His positive energy was unbelievable from start to finish. We couldn’t have asked for a better musician and DJ. Highly recommend!

Anthony is an amazing musician! He set the mood beautifully from the start of our wedding ceremony and carried on to our reception at night. Our guests loved him and there were times when they started spontaneously singing along with him, which created such a magical moment! I honestly wished I had more time on our wedding night to thank him for making our day so special. Anthony if you're reading this, you are so amazingly talented and we're so lucky to have you there with us on our day! 10/10 Amazing and would highly recommend!

The only musician to call me back and I am glad. Really knows his music when we talked over the phone. Very professional at what he does. So many guests at the wedding keep complimenting my wife and myself how fanatic Anthony was. He knows how to keep the dance floor full. Brilliant work

Wow ! Anthony was incredible ! He set the tone perfectly from the beginning of the day. From singing and playing the acoustic guitar so beautifully for our ceremony and canapes, to being our MC and DJ for the reception, we could not fault him. Anthony has such a beautiful voice and his guitar playing was amazing. So many guests have said how much they loved Anthony, and how he would pick up on parts of the speeches and incorporate these into his speech to the guests. We also loved the music for the dance portion of the night, and reading the audience to play songs that appealed to all guests throughout the night. His attention to detail throughout the night was so thoughtful and special, and just added to an awesome experience. We just loved Anthony's whole vibe, and can't thank him enough for making our day so special.

Anthony Hughes was INCREDIBLE! He performed and DJed for our Wedding in May 2022. Every single guest was blown away with his performances, he had everyone singing along at tables, and then of course everyone on the dance floor later in the night. Anthony, from the bottom of our hearts thank you so much for making our first dance, the father daughter dance and other significant moments of the night feel so magically special. You are extremely talented and we are forever grateful that you could fulfill our Wedding Day wishes. We hope to see you around :) Mr & Mrs McKenzie xx

How many people usually give speeches at the wedding reception?

Is it usually a long time without music? Half an hour or so? We were thinking, Bride, Father of bride, father of groom, best man. Thoughts?

Anthony Hughes

In a traditional wedding, order of speeches are:

* Father of the Bride

* Best Man

* Groom

After this, you could have someone, friend or family member to read telegrams & mention those who are not with us today.

Do musicians charge by the hour?

I am thinking of booking a singer to sing our entrance song only and wondering musicians charge by the hour?I already have a pianist and violinist and feel I would like it if a musician would also play the song.I am based in Adelaide for a winter wedding.

Anthony Hughes

Usually yes, depend on the musician.

They also might have minimum hours charge for weekends and peak season
