Hello, I'm Stephen

I first discovered a love for music at the age of ten, playing drums in church. Before long, I was drawn to singing and learning other instruments, and music became a constant part of my life.

In 2015, after performing at a handful of weddings for friends, I joined the wedding band Phase4. I quickly fell in love with being part of such important occasions and creating the right atmosphere for people to enjoy them.

As life became busier with three young children, I moved away from the late nights of full-band weddings and towards acoustic performance.

That style now feels completely natural to me. I’m not interested in being the centre of attention. I much prefer to complement the occasion — providing beautiful live music that creates a relaxed, warm and enjoyable atmosphere while allowing the event itself to take centre stage.

Good to know

Questions couples ask.

Yes. Your aisle song is included in every ceremony booking. Let me know it at least six weeks before the day so I can arrange it properly.

Tell me your date.

I'll let you know personally if it's free, usually the same day. Summer Saturdays go first, so it's worth asking early.
