 What makes us different?

We are both qualified Life Coaches and Meditation teachers with a focus on living your life in a way that makes your heart sing. We both work as personal growth facilitators helping people all over the world to walk the talk of personal mastery and to transform the dysfunctional aspects of thier lives. We are both non-drinkers, non-smokers and we are not into drugs. We are professional, punctual and we would love to be a part of your special event, especially your wedding. We are very flexible with our pricing.  Simply put we do this because we love it! It is not something we are doing to earn a living, rather an activity we enjoy and would like to share with others.Being somewhat older and hopefully wiser than many hard partying younger bands we bring a certain maturity and respect to your event. As we help others around the world to live calmly, successfully and wisely so then that is the kind of presence we bring to your gathering. We love our music. We can provide music during the ceremony if you wish. Our repertoire is extensive and diverse.

Our dear friend Rupert is a world class virtuoso violinist and he is open to appearing with us (for an extra fee) at your special event to really add something really magical to your experience. Do come along and have a chat sometime, we would love to meet you and hope that we can help you to co-create that very special event.

Thanks for visiting the website of 'Perth wedding band Dare to be different'.

Kindest regards and hopes for a wonderful wedding day.

Segolene and Michael

Wedding bands are a great addition to the perfect wedding. Nothing beats having live music played at the reception, and a band can really improve the ambiance and vibe of the whole event.

So, the trick becomes sifting through all the wedding bands available to find one that meets your budget, music style and theme, and that can sometimes be a difficult choice.

Your first step should be sitting down as a couple and deciding what sorts of music you both like in common. Is there a particular band or music genre you both agree on? If so, and you feel it would be appropriate to have a wedding band that plays this style at your wedding, then you have narrowed down the field to a smaller number of players, which makes your job much easier.

Once you have both agreed upon a wedding band to play at your reception, you need to sit down with the band and discuss what songs you want them to play and perhaps even in which order some of them will need to be played. It's no good complaining AFTER the wedding that your band did not play what you like and when, if you did not take the time to give them explicit instructions. More......
