Will your guests dance to the music I play? From a corporate function I just had to write to thank you for playing at our recent Staff Awards Night. We first heard you at a colleagues wedding last year and those of us at the wedding could not stop talking about how fantastic the music was and how we never left the dance floor. With that in mind and being on the organising committee our first thought was to book you guys. Margaret Romeo From Weddings Everyone was up and dancing from the word go… and could have danced well into the hours of the morning if you'd kept playing! The selection of songs played kept everyone happy from our 7 year old niece to our 80 year old Nan! It was tremendous to see such a mixture of generations on the dance floor having such a great time! Tony & Nichole Preston - Central Coast Thank you for an amazing performance at our wedding. From the first song to the last, a flawless performance. On the night you provided just the right atmosphere and not one person needed encouragement to get on the dance floor. We are still getting feedback from our guests letting us know how much they enjoyed the Band. Looking forward to your next gig! Michael & Louise Hughes. – Central Coast Tim kept the dance floor alive from start to finish, with a fantastic energy and vibe which did not wane throughout the evening. Everyone from grandchildren to grandparent got up to strut their stuff! The music selection catered for all ages and was well arranged to keep guests on the floor all night. The Duo was continually complemented by guests (some of which were musicians themselves!) Iain & Abby Robinson - Central Coast Thank you for making our Wedding so amazing. Having live entertainment at our reception was absolutely the icing on the cake; it was a personal touch that made the day a memorable one for everyone. You played our favourite songs and had everyone up on the dance floor - all night long! We had so many compliments on the night, and we know we have you to thank... so from the bottom of our hearts, thank for making our night! Danny & Catherine King – Central Coast
Weddings - What I offer
Be sure to read Tim's Tips for Weddings at the bottom of this page - it just might save you some time & money!
Tim is a great person to deal with, always responding to my emails very efficiently, listened to what Paul and I wanted and incorporated those things and also had some great suggestions and just a very friendly guy, always answered my questions which was a big issued with other wedding vendors and generally just a nice down to earth person - what else could a bride/groom ask for ?? Gabrielle & Paul Cheeseman Scott and I would like to thank you for the time and effort put into our wedding. It was not only what we expected on the night but more, you were in contact with me at all times before the wedding which I found very calming and professional. Scott and Tymeka Lawson- Sydney
What is the difference between the solo & the duo act?
Solo or duo the result is the same – if I have another guitar or drummer or violinist – the end result is a full dance floor – that’s the main point.
Less than 60 guests (or looking to save $) – book me solo
How long do we play for? Usually 1-2 sets of dinner music
Can we pay you extra to play extra? Yes for more than about 4.5 hours or to carry on after midnight we are happy to play extra for a small additional charge
MC service This service is free – I am not a stand-up comedian but if you don’t already have an MC in mind I can perform basic MC duties such as:
A wireless microphone is provided for speeches. Thank you for also being our MC and conducting this with a sincere level of professionalism, it is with thanks to you that we have such great memories of our day! Sue and Scott Falkner – UK We would love to thank you yet again for the MC work you did throughout the night. We had a hard enough time trying to decide on the perfect MC, and in the end we couldn't have thought of anyone better then you. The fact that we hadn't met made no difference, we feel through the many emails over the 6 months leading up the the big day gave you a great insight into the type of people Brad and I are, and this showed in your work. You kept the night running smoothly and kept everyone in line (including those few who had too many champers) Jodie & Brad Turner
Ceremony music This is a nice touch that creates a unique atmosphere. Performed solo with voice and guitar or just instrumental guitar 3 songs of your choice – I have loads of suggestions that I know have worked well
Watching a DVD of the ceremony the music was the ‘icing on the cake’ to the whole set-up. Tim’s acoustic sound, due to the lack of electricity at the location we had chosen, was more than adequate to entertain the 80+ people gathered for the ceremony. Simon & Nikki Ley- Sydney The acoustic guitar sounded amazing at the lighthouse and made our ceremony extra special. Kathryn and Glenn Filtness Father Rod Bower said he was impressed with how your voice carried throughout the church! Paul & Kelly Flanagan - Muswellbrook
Pre reception Canapés and...........entertainment? This is an extra option - nice for your guests while you are away having photos. Price on application – There are many variables – Solo or Duo, convenience of location – ie if pre reception canapes are not same location as ceremony or reception then it means a little more time setting up at a third location.

Then formalities are over and it’s….Party time
Break Music
How do you decide on songs? I will take away all the stress & worry about …
However many emails or phone calls it takes my commitment is to work with you to get the music exactly right for you for your day.
But a DJ or Jukebox is way cheaper? Yes they are – but Live entertainment is way better
I currently have 350 songs ranging from Elvis to Wiggles. Playing a Wiggles song can be messy – I have seen the contents of many a guest’s schooner shoot out of their nose from laughter – so timing is crucial :) While planning our wedding reception, we knew what we DIDN’T want………..a DJ blasting out the usual Funky Town and Nutbush. We had seen Tim at a gig, and felt that live entertainment would be much better. It turned out to be the best decision we made. Well, we've always been fans of live music and when it came to our special day we knew a DJ just wouldn't cut it. Everyone said it was the best wedding they had been to and that you guys really rocked - big time! Book Tim Pringle for your next event, he was brilliant! Don’t think twice about it, way better than a DJ or jukebox. Thank you so much, Tim. Amie Graham - Central Coast
A Solo or Duo – Surely we need a full band? In the end the result is the same - well entertained & well impressed guests but..
There is not one guest that has not mentioned how great the band was and questioned us on who and where you guys are from. You are exactly what Scott and I wanted to have on our Wedding Day, a band that knew how to party along with the guests and make everyone stay on the dance floor and we got exactly that. I can't say it enough but thank you for helping us have the best night of our lives For anyone who is looking for a band to play at any function stop looking you have found the best person ever. I found Tim on the internet and didn’t get a chance to see him perform before booking him so I had to take pot luck. He had everyone dancing and having great time. I received so many comments in the days after the party about the music and how fantastic it was. If you want your function to be a success make sure you book Tim. Kindest regards - Karen Neumeyer
There are limited dates available especailly during Sept- March and too many enquiries.
I hope to hear from you soon

Tim's Tips for Weddings From Performing and MC ing at many many weddings these tips may be helpful to ensure your day runs smoothly.
Too often I've seen long drawn out table service of 3 full courses take up to 60% of the reception time....then with speeches and formalities you are left with only 1 hour of dancing time. Rememeber 81% of people say entertainment is the most memorable item at a wedding. Ways to save time on dining and have more social time where guests are free to circulate and dance.
Ocassionally there'll be an unannounced speaker - someone wishing to say congratualtions and all the best - then it opens the flood gates for every drunk Uncle to get up to say their bit - they can say this to you in person - it can be a huge waste of your reception time to permit a bunch of announced speakers up.
You won't realise until a few days after the wedding how little time you spent chatting to certain guests. It's likely you'll only have 5-6 minutes of one on one conversation with any possible guest during your wedding day. The circle at the end is a simple way to individually say thanks. Regardless of the room size a circle or oval can be made and you can say thanks then leave before the guests do. I usually play 1-2 slow sing along songs while you do this - it's a great wind down to the day......if over 60 guests it can take ages to get around the whole circle so a brief goodbye is best as guests get impatient standing still for too long - for bigger weddings consider a farewell arch instead.
