+ 2 moreBeach Symphony is a strings and beats trio that moves seamlessly from elegant ambience to acoustic pop and high-energy dancefloor favourites — bringing distinctive entertainment, versatility and unforgettable energy to weddings, corporate events and private celebrations.
Beginning with refined, atmospheric strings as guests arrive and mingle, we can gradually introduce vocals, familiar favourites and dancefloor-ready pop — or keep things beautifully understated — adapting to the mood and program of your event.
Venue & Production Ready: Our flexible approach means we adapt to a wide range of venues — from outdoor celebrations with our portable sound setup through to heritage venues, residential areas, and low-decibel environments. We work seamlessly with event planners, celebrants, and in-house AV teams.
Proven Credentials: Beach Symphony has built its reputation through repeat bookings and respected venues. Guest artist Eden Borrie — a 4-Chair Turn artist from The Voice Australia — performs with us, alongside our ongoing residency at Bistro Gavroche in Chippendale. We have performed at premier venues including Pier One Sydney Harbour and Q Station Manly, Sydney's Bastille Festival, and have maintained a 5-star rating on Easy Weddings for two years running.
Tailored to Your Event: From initial planning through to the final song, we work closely with you to create the right lineup, music, and atmosphere. Whether it’s special song requests for a first dance or custom music cues for corporate awards, we ensure a seamless, stress-free experience.
Share your date, venue, guest numbers, and vision, and we’ll recommend the best lineup, musical style, and clear pricing options for your event.
