BILL PARTON TRIO & WEDDINGS

Having performed at a large variety of different South Australian reception & ceremony venues with a track record of over 300 weddings under their belt, it's a real sure bet that when it comes to weddings, you won't find a band that goes more hand in hand than Bill Parton Trio!

Their extensive musical abilities, wide-ranged song library, energised presence, fresh vibrant personalities, vast experience, professional service delivery all combined stand Bill Parton Trio in good stead to cater for your perfect wedding.

Taking weddings very seriously, Bill Parton Trio emphasises the need to be both very flexible and adaptable in terms of the way the music is presented to ensure that it's tailored to best complement each respective Bride & Groom's format.

Most commonly, Brides & Grooms tend to utilise Bill Parton Trio in a such a way that the music during the initial hours is low-key and in the background creating a warm mood and pleasant ambience as guests arrive, throughout pre-dinner drinks, dinner and amongst your formalities (ie speeches etc). Subsequent to the Bridal Waltz and for the last hour or so (once the alcohol usually has oozed-in and as the Bridesmaids kick off their high-heels) Bill Parton Trio will raise the volume level a few decibels and perform more up-beat party-like songs to get everyone up on the dance floor and create an ultimate high to conclude the wedding! Does this sound like the kind of format that you're going to be after?

Please do contact us to discuss your perfect wedding.
