“RJ Unplugged played at our wedding on Mt Tamborine. Richard did solo acoustic music which was amazing and really made the atmosphere at the wedding. My husband and I were so lucky to have him. With all the stress we didn’t really have suggestions for songs but Richard asked us a few questions and then nailed the playlist! We even had guests comment that he was incredibly talented and he was able to fit the mood of the wedding perfectly (beautiful slow songs in the ceremony – fun songs to dance the night away too). Richard also MC’d for us which was incredible as it allowed the rest of our family and friends to enjoy the night with no worry. I couldn’t recommend him highly enough for weddings!” — Nikki
What you’ll love about working with RJ Unplugged for your wedding:
- Solo or duo. The choice is yours! RJ Unplugged can perform as a charismatic solo or duo ensemble. When performing at weddings solo, RJ uses his vocal depth and rich, rock acoustic sound to enchant and delight guests. However, when they perform as a musical duo, this brother-sister team harmonise and commands the room. If you love live music but you would rather finish the night with your favourite Dance tracks, RJ Unplugged offers a DJ option sure to get the dance floor pumping!
- Tailored packages. While RJ Unplugged offers a range of flexible and convenient wedding packages, you might be after something a little more specific, which is why RJ tailors wedding packages to suit his clients’ needs.
- Sunshine Coast to Byron Bay. While guitarist and vocalist RJ is based on the Gold Coast, he happily travels to the Sunshine Coast, Brisbane and regional Queensland to perform his beautiful music at weddings.
“He was absolutely BRILLIANT! They really made a great night into one of the best nights we have ever had. We go and see a lot of bands and musos all the time and RJ is right up there. He had the whole party rocking all night and was that good we arranged for them to play an extra 2 hours. I highly recommend anyone looking for a first-class musician to get in contact with RJ.” — David
