Sweet tunes sung by this talented duo of Polkadot + Moonbeam, serenade you during your wedding day performing “a repertoire of jazz and timeless classics, from luscious ballads to lively swing numbers and latin grooves”. Now based in Perth WA they have lived and performed around Australia and Asia. The duo named themselves after the 1940’s song Polkadots and Moonbeam and perform with the lilting sounds of a ukulele combined with guitar and their voice harmonies. Their music is the perfect combination of soothing, familiar tunes and upbeat party starting tempos sure to get your guests on the dance floor!

We asked Juliet and Didi of Polkadot + Moonbeam five questions in five minutes:

Weddings are the best to work on because….

The odds of two people meeting in the world, and then finding reciprocated love that they want to grow everyday together is an amazing thing. We cannot believe we get to usher them into their new chapter with the music we love.

What is something people would be surprised to know about your job or something that challenges you about your job?

Picture this: the music we play is dreamy, and our attire is of the classic, luscious nostalgic 50s.But what you don’t see, is us training up to gain muscle strength for the PA equipment everyday! If one could, you’d witness Didi lifting weights, me doing yogic inversions! The loading and unloading of our heavy equipment in our most comfortable modern day slacks 2 hours before the event commences is actually foundation brew – robust stock to spin the magic for the rest of the day or night!

What is it about the creative process that you most enjoy?

Improvising. Our repertoire is mainly classic jazz and latin, but we also recolour these new classics like ‘Marry me’ by Bruno Mars, giving it a classy, sophisticated, swinging spin. We also
love responding to the moment, marrying harmonies, or songs, or arrangements on the go. One tune can be interpreted and done so many ways, depending on the couple, the guests, the weather!

What are you hilariously bad at?
Remembering the movies I’ve watched! It used to split me up, because it’s just zilch in my head.Now we think it’s an absolute blessing, especially during lockdown! I never get tired of watching
the same movies over, and over and again.

When you were small what did you dream of being and where have those dreams taken you?

Good question! If there was one, it might be that I thought I was going to be a policewoman! I guess that sense of justice has since been taken into giving the couple the best moments they can remember on their big day with our music! 🙂
