Live music · for couples wanting something specificThe day, scored on purpose.

Mia is a Grade 8 classically trained pianist. The ceremony tier is exactly what that suggests — calm, intentional playing for the aisle entrance, the vows, the signing of the register and the recessional.

Choose your processional and recessional pieces; we'll suggest options for in-between if you'd rather not micromanage every minute.

Fits: civil ceremonies (City Hall, registry offices), church ceremonies that allow live music, and humanist services where the music is part of the script. Doesn't fit: venues without a piano or keyboard-suitable space, or services that pipe in a recorded processional.

Piano and guitar, played live for the hour or two between the ceremony and the wedding breakfast. Atmospheric — warm enough to fill the room, quiet enough that guests can still talk over it.

Repertoire skews acoustic with the option to lean modern: standards if you want safe, indie/alt-rock arrangements if you want a hint of what the evening could be.

Fits: drinks receptions in any function room, outdoor cocktail hours (weather permitting), and the gap between ceremony and dinner where most weddings default to a Spotify playlist. Doesn't fit: very short turnarounds where guests barely sit, or venues with rigid sound limits.

The most common combination. Solo piano for the ceremony, duo (piano + guitar) for the cocktail hour — a continuous live presence from the moment you walk in to the moment you sit down.

Booked as one engagement, one timeline, one setup. We coordinate around your photography slot so the music never accidentally competes with the speeches or family portraits.

Fits: couples who want a single coherent feel for the whole front-half of the day. Bundled pricing: tailored to your timings — usually a small saving on booking the two slots separately.

Mia's other project — Miabella — is a full live band that plays alternative weddings: rock, grunge, metal-leaning, with classical piano interludes. It's a proper headline set, not the standard function-band rotation of generic crowd-pleasers.

This tier is the most polarising of the four. Most wedding evenings don't want this, and that's fine. The couples who do want it actively want it — usually because their non-wedding life sounds like this anyway and they want one night that reflects who they actually are.

Fits: alternative weddings, music-led couples, venues with proper PA and stage. Doesn't fit: traditional reception structures or venues with strict noise limits. Booked separately: evening band pricing and contracts are handled by Miabella directly — we'll route you over.
