Amy Hooper’s Birthday Party
June 2026

Lucas was fantastic from start to finish. Although there was no time to learn the special requests I’d arranged with the other musician, Lucas read the room perfectly and seemed to instinctively know exactly what songs to play to get the party started and keep the energy going throughout the night. Not only is Lucas a talented musician, but he was also polite, friendly and genuinely engaging with guests between sets. Several of my guests commented on how great he was and how much they enjoyed the music. His professionalism, flexibility and ability to create such a fun atmosphere turned what could have been a disaster into a memorable celebration.

Jamie & Patrick’s Wedding
Belmont 16s
May 2026

Booking process was great and you were all really easy to deal with – really appreciated in the chaos of planning a wedding, when not all vendors are this organised and on top of things! Jake was phenomenal – he made the day so easy and seamless that I didn’t need to worry about a thing when it came to the music – it was just perfect. We had so many compliments on the day about how fantastic he was – he matched the vibe perfectly – effortless, relaxed and fun. We have only just got back from overseas and have not gone through my photos/videos yet, but if I do find any, I’ll send them through.

Alisha Vicary & Matt Brown’s Wedding
Shepherds Corner
May 2026

The booking process was great, everything was easy, and I always received a quick response when I needed to reach out. Aaron was fantastic, we are so happy he was able to perform at our wedding. He got absolutely everyone up dancing, singing along and having the best time. We have had so many people comment on how good the music was. He absolutely nailed all of our song choices, from my walk down the aisle to our first dance. I would 1000% recommend anyone book Aaron for their event!

Simon & Sally’s Birthday Party
April 2026

AMAZING. We knew we wanted a band for the big 60th birthday and Soundabout were incredible and took the whole night to the next level. From the moment they arrived for set up till the very last song (and encores!!) they were friendly, professional, fun, pleasant and accommodating. Truly gifted musicians who read the room, got everyone dancing and made the night so memorable. Guests are still saying what a fun night, lets do it all again soon!!!! THANKYOU SOUNDABOUT

We found Soundabout to be very professional and followed the brief perfectly. They are a fantastic group of artists and made a wonderful contribution to our event.

Leonie and Michael’s Wedding
March 2026

The booking process was easy. The information on how the process went was informative and made our day run so much better. From how payments were due to the run schedule for the day. Asking which songs we would like for moments along the way, just helped us think about things, well we hadn’t thought of. As for the band, well a few friends said don’t spend money on a band. Just play music on the venue speakers, others said just get a kid on a guitar. No offence to the guitar players out there. We both wanted a wedding that was a celebration, and that’s what we got with Love That Hat. From a violin to get me down the aisle, (I almost cried on how beautiful that was) to the life and joy that this band brought. Guests are still talking about what a great night. That they hadn’t danced like that in 20 years. There was no one sitting down. Everyone up, smiling, laughing, enjoying what that band brought to our wedding was priceless. Love That Hat, I can’t thank enough.

I wanted to take a moment to express my sincere gratitude for your time, talent and creativity in helping bring Megan and Blake’s wedding to life at La Vigna Estate. The day was everything we had hoped for and more, which would not have been possible without your hard work and expertise. It was a pleasure working with you and I deeply appreciate the care and thought you put into every detail. I very much look forward to working with you again in the future.

Amelia & Dylan’s Wedding
August 2024

We cannot recommend EAO Entertainment highly enough! From start to finish, their professionalism, easy-going nature, and straightforward communication made the entire wedding process a breeze. When our original band had to understandably cancel on our wedding day due to illness, EAO moved heaven and earth to find us a replacement. Without missing a beat (pun intended!), they secured a fantastic 4-piece band and then notified us, ensuring our day would go ahead stress free. We were blown away by their proactive approach and dedication. Thank you, EAO.

Remi & Steele’s Wedding
February 2023

The booking process with EAO was awesome. It was extremely efficient, helpful and most importantly, not stressful! We’ll be sure to recommend your company to all our friends and family when they’re going through the wedding process.

Just a quick note to say a HUGE THANK YOU Janelle, for your assistance in coordinating finer details for our event! Both Pretty Amazing Jono and Joy Duo were just BRILLIANT!!! Jono was a great surprise for the crowd and he had everyone’s full attention throughout his wandering performance and Joy Duo were FANTASTIC. Everyone I have spoken to this week has said what amazing performers they were.

Madalene’s Wedding
November 2022

Everything went great! 2 Good Reasons were awesome! They kept a whole bunch of us on the dance floor till they finished and even did an encore. They catered so much to my intimate wedding and created such a vibe. They even learned a special request for me and my best friend, which made for a really special moment.

Stacey’s Wedding
October 2022

Janelle and EAO were extremely easy to communicate with and were more onto things than I was, which was appreciated because I become very frazzled when it comes to organising. We couldn’t have been happier with Joy Duo. Everyone raved about them and the range of songs they played.

Anna’s Wedding
May 2022

We couldn’t have been happier with the booking process with EAO Entertainment. The whole process was easy, straightforward and very well communicated. The Mark Wells Trio were unreal and had everyone dancing at our wedding.

Scott’s Wedding
December 2021

Love That Hat were great on our wedding night. Everyone there enjoyed the band and their setlist on the night was great. It was easy dealing with EAO booking and making arrangements.

Kristen’s Wedding
December 2019

From the first point of contact EAO made it easy for us. We selected Oran Vir for the ceremony and canapés, and Launch DJ for the reception and after-party. Both were fabulous.

We absolutely loved having Jake Folbigg perform at our wedding. He played all the songs we requested and created an amazing atmosphere. We are so grateful for your recommendation and help throughout the planning process.
