We proudly offer an extensive selection of over 3,000 songs, including popular contemporary hits from the 1950s to the present day, alongside enduring compositions from the Baroque, Classical, and Romantic eras.

Additionally, our repertoire includes tangos, hymns, folk songs, jazz pieces, and festive carols. With our limitless musical offerings, we cater to every taste and event!

Should your favourite melody not be included in our collection, we will gladly accommodate up to three special requests at no additional cost, ensuring your beloved songs are performed live exclusively for you on your significant event.

For additional song arrangements, we charge a fee of $200 + GST per song.

4. Exceptional Client Care

We recognise the significance of seamless execution on the day of your event, and our responsibility extends beyond delivering exquisite live music; we also guarantee a smooth experience from our end.

As an award-winning violinist with over 5,000 performances and recordings, Jennen has performed and toured with prestigious orchestras such as the Australian Chamber Orchestra, Melbourne Symphony Orchestra, Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra, Adelaide Symphony Orchestra, and West Australian Symphony Orchestra.

He is committed to addressing all your inquiries and providing the necessary support to instill confidence in engaging Australia’s finest musicians.

5. Cancellation Protection and Public Liability Insurance

In the event of a cancellation, we will offer a full credit valid for two years from the cancellation date, provided we are given at least 30 days’ notice.

If there is a government-imposed restriction rendering your event unfeasible and beyond your control, we will extend a full credit as long as we are informed a minimum of 48 hours in advance.

We hold comprehensive public liability insurance coverage of up to AUD 20 million, ensuring protection throughout Australia.
