What a wedding in Bochum demands
Bochum couples like to marry in industrial monuments and long-established event houses. Both have character — and often restrictions on volume, load-in time and fire safety. Celebrating here needs a band that plans for these rules rather than discovering them on the night.
The rooms we are configured for in Bochum
Industrial monument
Historic hall with restrictions on level, load-in routes and equipment — clarified with the operator in advance.
Event house with ballroom
In-house technicians, fixed curfews. We coordinate system and timeline with the venue.
Grand hotel ballroom
Hard surfaces, quickly too loud. In-ear monitoring keeps stage volume low.
Garden and terrace
For outdoor ceremony and reception — with backup for weather and power.
We clarify the room type in advance with the venue and in-house technicians. We bring backline, in-ear monitoring and our own sound engineer; PA and lighting are coordinated with the venue — on request we supply the complete system for an additional fee.
The phases of your wedding day
01
Ceremony
Acoustic and understated: processional, ring exchange, recessional — pieces you choose, timed precisely to the order of service.
02
Champagne reception
Lounge sets, warm and conversation-friendly, while photos are taken and guests arrive.
03
Dinner
Controlled volume, elegant repertoire — the music carries the room without drowning out conversation.
04
First dance
Your song, arranged live — optionally flowing straight into the first party set.
05
Party
Soul, funk, disco, the 80s to today: a dance floor without lulls, read from the room, not from a list.
06
Band + DJ
A seamless hand-over to our DJ, so the night keeps going after the band's final encore.
