There is nothing quite like the vast, electric atmosphere of an Australian cattle station wedding. For this celebration, we flew our premium Charter Music Duo out to Kemmis - located in the rugged pastoral country just outside Mackay, Queensland.

When you are hosting an iconic celebration hundreds of kilometres from the nearest city centre, standard acoustic background music simply won't cut it. The brief was clear: following a lavish, black-tie marquee dinner, the music needed to step up several gears into an uninhibited, unapologetically loud after-dinner party packed with anthemic Aussie rock and classic country.

The Setting: Luxury Marquee on an Outstation Lawn

Set against open paddocks and endless horizons, the event featured a grand sailcloth marquee with long banquet tables, crystal glassware and warm ambient festoon lighting. Guests gathered from across the country in black tie and fur stoles for an unforgettable outback banquet.

As evening arrived across the property, the sailcloth marquee came alive with warm ambient tabletop lamps and festoons as guests took their seats for dinner.

The Performance: High-Volume Aussie Rock & Country Anthems

As dinner concluded, our duo took to the open-air concrete dancefloor beneath strings of festoon lights. With a high-powered Fender tube amplifier, acoustic guitar, full drum kit and dual vocal power, our Charter Music Duo delivered the punch and energy of a full five-piece band.

The setlist tore through high-octane Australian rock anthems, timeless pub classics and crowd-favourite country staples that had the entire marquee on their feet within minutes.
