Please contact us with your specific requirements and we will get back to you ASAP
3. How Long Do You Play For?
Our standard is 3 x 40-minute sets or 2 x 60-minute sets, depending on your preference. We also offer acoustic upgrade packages (30, 45, or 60 minutes) which are perfect for ceremonies, drinks receptions, or wedding breakfasts.
4. Can You Learn Special Requests?
Yes! We’re delighted to learn and perform your first dance live (with at least six weeks’ notice).
5. Do You Provide All the Equipment?
Yes. Electric Ocean provides a full PA system, microphones, and stage lighting. All our equipment is PAT tested, and we hold public liability insurance up to £10 million.
6. What Type of Music Do You Play?
Unlike genre-specific bands, Electric Ocean delivers a diverse mix of styles — from modern pop and indie to funk, soul, and timeless classics. For something extra special, we also perform a high-energy Garage medley and a smooth Hip-Hop/R&B medley that always gets the crowd moving. Check out our song list here
7. Do You Have Live Recordings or Reviews?
Yes! You can check out our live videos and 5* Google testimonials on our website, YouTube, Facebook, and Instagram. Seeing us in action will show you exactly why couples and venues recommend us time and time again.
8. How Much Space Do You Need?
We typically require a 4m x 2.5m space plus 2–4 nearby power sockets, but if your venue is smaller, we can adjust our setup. We’ve performed in everything from intimate barns to luxury hotels like The Ritz.
9. What Happens Between Sets?
We include a DJ-style service as standard, so the music never stops. We also encourage couples to share a Spotify playlist in advance so we can incorporate your favourite tracks at key points in the night.
10. What’s Your Booking Process?
To secure Electric Ocean, we ask for a booking deposit. The balance can be paid via bank transfer any time before your event. We’ll provide a clear contract and keep communication simple and stress-free.
