Boutique are a trio of full-time, qualified musicians, comprised of Rebecca and Zac on vocals as well as one of Melbourne's finest guitarists, Dave Reynolds. Boutique can easily be extended out to a 4-piece band by adding in saxophone.
The 'Boutique difference' is uncompromising attention to detail by skillfully choosing just the right music at the right volume, complete professionalism at all times, sophistication and superior musicianship, acquired from both education and years of live experience. We are pleased to introduce you to Boutique's exclusive members...
Rebecca Walker- Lead Vocal
Hello! My name is Rebecca. As the band leader & founder of Boutique I want to bring you
not only great value, outstanding entertainment that you and your family and friends will enjoy, but a personal, first-class service. There are three things I am really passionate about -weddings, music and customer service. I created Boutique because, after performing with other bands, I saw a large gap in the industry for a wedding band that delivers brilliant customer service, a terrific youthful look & energy AND a really hot sound! So many bands have one, but not the other. I am also very sensitive to the fact that it is YOUR special day
and not a pub! It is our responsibility to help you celebrate according to what you want for
this once-in-a-lifetime event and we take that really seriously. After years of performing at literally hundreds weddings, I bring heaps of experience and expertise to make your wedding
a perfect celebration, using the music to enhance each part of your night. I genuinely look forward to helping you to create a fabulous night of fun and amazing memories.
Zac Harb - Lead Vocal
We are absolutely thrilled to have onboard undoubtedly Melbourne's finest new up-and-coming singer, Zac Harb! Zac is a star in the making, singing straight from the heart with such breathtaking beauty and ease, you will think you are listening to one of the all-time greats. His extensive range, powerful falsetto, belt voice and contagious energy always have
his audiences captivated. Zac possesses the same enviable quality and tone of internationally recognized artists such as Stevie Wonder, and our own Guy Sebastian. Zac holds a Diploma in Music Performance and has been performing since 2002 in venues and events all over Australia.
Dave Reynolds - Acoustic & Electric Guitar & Backing Vocals
Dave plays the guitar like no-one you have ever seen! If you don't believe us, just check him out on youtube. Dave brings the music to life with his intricate improvisations and beautiful vocal harmonies throughout every song. Dave is a full-time , hard-core muso, currently employed not only by Boutique, but by the Royal Australian Air Force as guitarist for the Air Force Band based in Melbourne! This has been a life changing experience, enabling him to perform with some amazing talents including Rhonda Burchmore, Ross Wilson, The Choirboys, The Screaming Jets and Mark Seymour, to name only a few. Dave has also played alongside Tommy Emannuel and Vince Jones at the York Jazz Festivals, earning quite a credible reputation. Dave holds a Diploma of Jazz and Contemporary Music from the West Australian Academy of Performing Arts.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where we can see you perform?
We hold live showcases once a month in Burwood. Bookings are essential. Parking is easy and free. Starting time is 8.30pm. Please visit our 'Enquire' page to find out when the next viewing is being held or call or email for more details and to book your place. These nights can be very busy so please book early. Also, please note that we only allow one couple per wedding date at each viewing to avoid any conflicts!
What areas do you travel to?
Boutique only service Metropolitan Melbourne & surrounding suburbs. That includes the Yarra Valley, Dandenongs, Sunbury etc. If you're not sure, send us an email or call.
Can you sing at our ceremony as well?
Yes, Boutique offer beautiful, poignant music for ceremonies - but only if the ceremony is held on the same premises as the reception. We have a ceremony songlist, including both traditional & modern ballads, that you can request by email. For ceremonies, you have a choice of a vocalist and backing tracks or a vocalist, acoustic guitarist and/or backing tracks. We use a small battery-powered P.A so you can even have music at a garden ceremony. Boutique ceremony music includes recorded classical music as the guests arrive, live bridal processional song, live song during signing of the register, live recessional song, or a combination of live and recorded songs. Small additional charge for ceremony music applies.
What are the main styles of music you play at the reception?
We usually start the evening off with popular jazz and swing, as well as ballads. As the night progresses, we move into some funky r 'n b to get everyone thinking about that dance floor! After the bridal dance, once the dance floor has been officially opened, we play all dance music from the 80's, a bit of 70's disco, a few rock n roll (for the oldies!) and some Top 40 - think Blame it on the boogie to Black eyed Peas!
Can you MC for us?
Boutique's all-inclusive, comprehensive service means you are left wanting for nothing. We provide an MC service to you free of charge. What this means is that we take care of all announcements including: Introductions, Speeches, Cake-cutting, Bridal dance, Farewell circle and anything else that needs to be done to keep your night running smoothly. If you have your own MC, we still help keep them on track and guide them through the night. We also have a brand new, quality wireless microphone for you to use for speeches so you can conduct speeches at the bridal table.
Can Boutique be extended out to a 4-piece band?
Most definitely! We add in a saxophone player which compliments the line-up and the sound perfectly. Additional charges apply.
How much space do you need?
Ideally, for the trio we require a space of approximately 5 metres across and 3 metres deep to accommodate for lighting and speaker stands. If your space is smaller, we can usually figure something out - give us a call.
Can I choose which songs you play?
Sure thing! What we suggest is to choose a few songs that you would really like to hear during the night, as well as any you want us to avoid playing, and leave it to us to read your crowd the rest of the time. We never play the same songs to every audience, instead we cater to what your individual group seem to be into as the night progresses.
How much do you play? How many songs or for how long?
A standard wedding booking is for a 5-6 hour function. In that time, we play just as much as we can, based around meal service and your formalities. That would generally work out to approximately 4x45 minute sets. During breaks we play fantastic mp3 party music to keep everyone dancing. From the moment your function starts, there will be continuous music playing to perfectly compliment each part of the night.
How far out from my function date do I need to book?
6 - 12 months for peak season (September - April). However, even if your function falls during peak time and you've left booking entertainment till the last minute, please check with us to see if we're available. You could be lucky! It's a good idea to allow 6 months booking time for the winter months.
Do I really need to attend a viewing when I like what I've seen and heard online?
Not at all - in fact, we're finding that more and more people are booking us straight from the website. Afterall, life is busy enough, let alone finding the time to traipse all over town to see bands. Sometimes that process can leave you more dazed and confused than before you started. Some clients like to secure their date first, then attend a viewing later. And if it's any consulation, we are told time and time again that we sound even better live than on the website.
What about the bridal dance?
We are happy to learn most songs if you can't find what you're looking for on our list. If you need help choosing a song we can certainly help you with some suggestions.
There's a song I really would like you to play but I can't find it on your songlist.
Our full songlist is massive! We can't include every song we do on the website, so please ask us to check our archives. If it's relatively well known, it's usually no problem for us to learn it just for you.
How do I secure my date?
Simply give us a call or email all the details of your function date and venue. We'll get back to you immediately with our availability and quote, then simply lock it in with a 15% deposit and your entertainment is sorted.
Please feel free to email or call if you have any other questions and we'll do our best to help.
We service Metropolitan Melbourne & surrounding areas.
Please use the contact form to enquire about our availabilites, to request a quote, or to book for the next viewing. Please include function date & venue.
Alternatively, phone Rebecca on 0412 252 760

We had such a great night at the wedding reception and we could not have been happier with your band's performance. We thought you were fantastic. The fact that people were up dancing from the minute you started playing, right to the last song, indicates how much the guests enjoyed your song selection and performance.

It was a truly magical night with thanks to your great entertainment. I cannot thank you enough. As you said, it will go so fast, it really did, but there is one moment that I keep playing in my head and thats when you started playing our wedding song, you sung it so wonderfully, I honestly will never forget.

Our past clients welcome you to contact them to verify their feedback. Please ask us how.
Booking Boutique can help change the world!
Yes! It's true!
It's always been a dream to be able to regularly support the work of various charitable organizations that I have a strong belief in. Through creating Boutique, that dream has become a reality. For every booking that Boutique secure up until the end of June 2010, $25 goes directly to The Fred Hollows Foundation, which helps restore sight to those
who are needlessly blind. In July we will rotate to another charity. Please let me know your favourite charities to consider for the second half of the year!
So now you can have fantastic wedding entertainment and give someone back their
sight. It seems really extraordinary, I know! That's what is so exciting about it.
To find out more about the Fred Hollows Foundation, their incredible work and the lives they are changing with just $25, please visit www.hollows.org.au

Other organizations we support are Guide Dogs Victoria and Childfund Australia
