The Personal
Touch

There's nothing quite like live music to take a celebration from great to unforgettable. Whether it's a milestone birthday in the backyard, an engagement party at your favourite restaurant, or a long-overdue family reunion, I bring the warmth, energy, and personal touch that a Spotify playlist simply can't.

I'll work with you to create the perfect vibe — from laid-back acoustic covers over dinner to upbeat sing-alongs that get everyone on their feet. Every event is different, and I love tailoring the music to match.

Birthdays & Milestones

From 21sts to 80ths — a personalised setlist that celebrates the guest of honour and gets everyone involved.

Engagements & Anniversaries

Romantic favourites, feel-good classics, and that one special song that means the world to you both.

Garden Parties & Get-Togethers

Relaxed afternoon sessions, sunset drinks, and backyard soirees with the perfect musical backdrop.

The Process

How It Works

01

Tell Me About Your Event

Get in touch with the basics — what's the occasion, where and when, and what kind of atmosphere you're hoping for. No detail is too small.

02

Plan the Playlist

I'll share my song list and we'll put together the perfect mix. Special requests, dedications, favourite genres — it's your party, your music.

03

Party Time

I'll turn up, set up, and bring the good vibes. Whether it's a chilled afternoon in the backyard or a big night out, I'll match the energy perfectly.

04

Memories to Keep

Great music turns a good party into an unforgettable one. The kind your guests will be talking about for months — "remember when Katie played that song?"

"Katie played at our engagement party and the vibe was incredible. She went from chilled acoustic during dinner to getting the whole backyard up and dancing. Couldn't recommend her more."

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

I perform at all kinds of private gatherings — birthday parties (milestone and otherwise), engagement parties, anniversaries, housewarming parties, retirement celebrations, garden parties, family reunions, and any occasion worth celebrating. If there's a reason to get together, I can provide the soundtrack.

Absolutely! Some of my favourite gigs are backyard parties and house events. I come fully self-contained with a compact PA system that's powerful enough to fill an outdoor space but won't upset the neighbours. I just need access to a standard power outlet and a small area to set up.

Of course. Whether it's the birthday person's all-time favourite, the song from your first date, or a crowd-pleaser that always gets everyone singing — I'm happy to learn special requests. I'll send you my full song list and we can build a setlist that's perfect for your event.

Most private functions work well with 2-3 hours of live music, usually broken into sets with short breaks in between. I provide background playlists during breaks so the music never stops. Shorter or longer bookings are available to suit your event.

That's completely up to you! I can keep it chilled and acoustic for a relaxed dinner party, build the energy for a milestone birthday, or create a sing-along atmosphere where everyone gets involved. We'll chat beforehand so I know exactly what you're after.

Pricing depends on the duration, location, and any special requirements. Private functions are generally more affordable than weddings or corporate events. Get in touch with a few details about your event and I'll send you a quote within 24 hours.
