01
Give the gathering its own atmosphere
Begin with the kind of evening you want to share. Perhaps music should sit gently beside drinks and conversation, become a moment to listen together or lift the energy when dinner gives way to dancing. There is no need to fill every minute with a performance; a few well-placed musical moments can give the celebration a natural rhythm.
Tell us about the people coming, the setting and the songs or styles that matter to you. A private home, a garden and a hired venue can call for different practical plans. Share the location and guest numbers so the musical format can be considered with the space in mind.
02
Build the sound around Maya
Maya is the featured lead singer for these musical options. An acoustic or lounge direction can create an intimate mood; jazz and soul offer another character for drinks or dinner. If you want a more energetic celebration, discuss a party-band arrangement and how it would fit the venue and the rest of your plans.
The actual musicians and instruments are agreed for each booking. A duo means Maya and one accompanying musician, while a larger ensemble needs its own clear description. Tell us which parts you want performed live, and confirm any recorded accompaniment or music between sets. The atmosphere and the real line-up should be equally clear.
03
Plan for the space and the flow of the day
Include the arrival time, musical moments, meal, speeches or toasts and intended finish in a simple running order. Ask the venue or property contact about music permissions, sound requirements, power, equipment access and an alternative for outdoor plans. Agree a suitable place for the musicians and a contact who can manage cues on the day.
If the music moves from one area to another or changes from a small arrangement to a fuller band, allow for setup and sound checks. Share favourite songs and their versions early; repertoire and any special request need confirmation. The written proposal sets out availability, performers, sets, equipment, pricing and booking terms before you decide.
