Common Questions

As early as possible is ideal. Weddings can book 12–18 months ahead, especially during the October–April peak season. For corporate events, private celebrations, and venue bookings, at least three months ahead is a good target, with earlier notice helpful for peak periods or larger productions. Last-minute enquiries are always welcome if the date is available.

Once the details are confirmed, a deposit secures the date exclusively for you. Heath will send through a simple booking agreement and everything is handled from there.

Yes, and it's one of the most popular requests. For key moments like an aisle walk, first dance, awards presentation, entrance, or special dedication, Heath is happy to learn songs that aren't already in the repertoire. Just reach out as early as possible so there's plenty of time to prepare.
