Hear It For Yourself

Live sessions, no studio polish

A taste of the sets — recorded live at pubs and functions across regional NSW.

Weddings

Live acoustic, right through the day.

Just me, a guitar and a voice — ceremony, drinks, dinner and into the night. One person to deal with, a sound that suits the room instead of taking it over, and a setup I run start to finish. Most couples book me for a good chunk of the day, so I've put it into packages.

My specialty

Ceremony & cocktail hour

Live acoustic for the ceremony — the aisle, the signing and walking out married — then straight into cocktail hour while the photos happen and everyone settles in. My favourite part of the day to play.

Ceremony Cocktail hour Dinner Reception

Ceremony, cocktails & dinner

Everything in the ceremony and cocktail set, then acoustic across dinner to keep the room warm and the night ticking along while your guests eat.

Ceremony Cocktail hour Dinner Reception

Full day — solo reception

Ceremony, cocktails and dinner, then I stay on solo for the reception — your first dance played live and a set built to get people up and dancing.

Ceremony Cocktail hour Dinner Reception · solo

Full day — band reception

The whole day covered, then the reception handed over to my band On The Tins for a proper full live-band set to finish the night.

Pick the package that fits your day above, or if you're not sure, tell me your run sheet and I'll point you the right way. Every package includes the PA, microphones and setup, plus your ceremony and first-dance songs learned for you — prices on enquiry.

Everything's included

  • Professional PA & microphones — supplied, set up and packed down.
  • Your ceremony & first-dance songs learned ahead of the day.
  • Requests welcome — send a list, or leave it to me to read the room.
  • I turn up early, dressed for the occasion, and easy to deal with.
  • Across the whole Central West — Dubbo, Orange, Bathurst, Mudgee & beyond.

How booking works

No mystery to it — here's how it goes from your first message to the last song.

01

Send your date

Flick me your date and venue. I'll get back to you — usually the same day — to say whether I'm free and roughly what it'd cost.

02

Have a chat

We sort the details: your run sheet, which package suits, and how the day flows. Ask me anything — there's no hard sell.

03

Lock it in

A deposit holds your date. You get it all in writing — package, timings and price — so nothing's a surprise down the track.

04

On the day

We settle your ceremony and first-dance songs beforehand. Then I show up early, set up out of the way, and read the room all night.

Straight up: I reply quickly, I show up early, and I take your day as seriously as you do. You deal with me the whole way through — the person actually playing — not a booking agent or a different act on the night.

"Lachie played our ceremony, cocktail hour and dinner and got the feel of every moment spot on — relaxed, warm and exactly what we pictured. So easy to deal with, too."

Client Reviews

What people are saying

5.0 from 4 Google reviews
★★★★★

Red (Lachie) was absolutely amazing as our soloist for both our ceremony and reception! From start to finish, he was friendly, professional and genuinely such a great bloke. He was so accommodating with all our favourite songs and even travelled for our wedding, which we really appreciated. He created the perfect atmosphere throughout the day and added such a special touch to our celebration. One of our favourite moments was dancing on the balcony to his tunes — such a special memory that we’ll always look back on. We honestly couldn’t recommend Lachie enough. An absolute 10/10 bloke and an incredibly talented musician. Thank you for helping make our day so memorable!

FAQ

Common questions

Do you travel? What areas do you cover?

Yes — I play all across NSW, from Dubbo and the Central West to the coast. Travel beyond the local area may add a small cost; send your venue and I'll let you know.

How much does it cost?

It depends on your package, timings and location. Send me your date and run sheet and I'll come back with a price, usually the same day.

Can you learn our special songs?

Absolutely. Your ceremony, signing and first-dance songs are learned for you, and requests are welcome — send a list or leave it to me to read the room.

Do you bring your own PA?

Yes — professional PA and microphones are included, supplied, set up and packed down. All I need is access to power.

Ceremony, cocktails, dinner — or the lot?

Any combination — just pick a package above. Ceremony and cocktail hour is my specialty, and I can carry the whole day through dinner.

What if we want a full band for the reception?

That's where my band On The Tins comes in — I can play your ceremony and dinner solo, then bring the full band for the party.

How do we lock in a date?

Send your date through the enquiry form below. A deposit secures it, and you'll get everything in writing — package, timings and price.
