A M V Live Music Full Description
Unlike other agencies, AMV Live Music offers a unique, supportive approach. We don't just book your band or artist and leave you to worry about the details. We manage your booking from the moment you book, right up until the day of your special event. Not everyone has booked live music for an event before, or knows how to organise a musician or a band for a function. Which is why our online booking system makes the whole process simple and straightforward. Combined with our expert guidance, we carefully plan every part of your event. From start times to set times, song requests to playlists, and payments to insurance certificates. We plan and organise meticulously, keeping you informed and up to date each step of the way. Our approach leaves no room for error on the day. Whether it's a live band or a DJ, music is such a key part of setting the tone for your event. Our aim is to make the musical aspect of your event planning easy and stress free. Why wouldn’t you want to take the worry out of your special occasion? Experience is Everything

I love to meet new clients and discover what they need for their wedding. I am also the lead vocalist in a successful wedding band and performing music live is my passion, which gives me a unique insight into both sides of the wedding music business.

so talented and also really friendly
As the Wedding & Events Manager at Jesmond Dene House, it is so refreshing to work with a professional and reliable music agency. AMV Live are our contracted House DJ and we also use their artists for special events and always recommend them for weddings. They make the booking process easy and seamless, and deal directly with the client, and the artists are so talented and also really friendly. Great company, can't recommend enough!

An excellent experience
An excellent experience from start to finish with AMV. A polished and well-sorted website, easy booking process, and top-notch customer service meant it was the least stressful aspect of our wedding planning. The Battle of the Wedding Bands evening was great fun as well. Many thanks to Andy, Faye, and Soden and Sons for putting on a cracking event for us and our guests.

Absolutely amazing
Absolutely amazing experience from everyone at AMV, we booked the maverick rejects for our wedding at Shotton Grange, great bunch of lads to talk to and sing with lol, slight problem on the night before that the lead singer was unwell, they said that they would have a replacement so nothing for me to worry about....and they were right!! Fantastic band and thanks again for learning our first dance song,you all made our day even more special, thank you from Mr and Mrs Wallace

We booked musician Richard Sutton for our wedding ceremony..🎶 We need to say a huge thank you to the team at AMV, the booking process was clear and easy. Richard was absolutely superb, timing, vocal talent, guitar.. Was just fabulous, all our guests commented how good he was. We loved his version of Enrique's 'hero'..just beautiful. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend, Thanks so much, Helen & Chris

absolutely spectacular
Faye Shearer performed during our wedding breakfast and was absolutely spectacular. Not only does she have an unbelievable voice, but her ability to read the room and bring the crowd up at the right time was just amazing. Standing on our chairs singing "You've Got the Love" with all of our friends and family swinging their napkins will be a treasured memory that stays with me forever.

FAQs

What is your most memorable wedding?

I once supplied an amazing amount of music to a bride and groom for their wedding of over 300 people. They had a choir during the ceremony, an acoustic guitarist duo during the drinks reception, a swing singer for during the meal, an 11 piece live band in the evening followed by an ibiza style sax and bongo percussionist with a DJ.

Describe your style in 5 adjectives.

Friendly. Professional. Engaging. Intuitive. Musical.

What about your business are you most proud of?

We, as a business book the music into over 1000 weddings a year. Without a glitch. We grow year upon year, and last year we won the North of England wedding award for outstanding customer service. This was voted for by our previous clients, and the testimonials we received from them made this a very proud moment for us.

What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?

Get all your favourite suppliers secured early to avoid disappointment.

What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?

I'm in a band myself, and at one wedding the groom and ushers performed a surprise choreographed routine for the bride. Then the whole wedding party went outside for a firework display. It was amazing!

Describe your typical process with a couple.

Firstly, we consult with couples directly to discuss exactly what type of music they envisage for their wedding. We'll chat through various options and packages and set up a bespoke enquiry in our booking system for them. As soon as the artists come back to us with their availability and fees for their date, we will send these out to the couple. They will then have a chance to watch the artists' demos, view their songlist and we will also give them dates that these artists are playing live. We understand that booking an artist/band is not something you do everyday, so we will go through any questions that they may have and iron out all the finer details. The couple have their own login details to our system whereby they can list everything, including any special requests, setlists, DJ playlists, set times etc.

What makes a romantic first dance?

Don't think to much about the choreography. There's nothing worse than watching a couple stare at their feet the whole time. Just enjoy it!! Stand and sway if you have to! But smile!

What is your number one floor-filler?

Proud Mary through and through! Wedding parties go wild for it!

Which band from the past would you most like to have been part of?

The Spice Girls, purely because who wouldn't want to be a Spice Girl?

What is the soundtrack to your life?

"Don't Worry Be Happy"
