Four moments
Music that sounds like the two of you
Dan Moores is a British-Italian wedding singer and guitarist based in Dubai. More than ten years on stage and more than 833 shows across the UK and the Gulf go into every ceremony, cocktail hour and first dance.
01
The aisle
A stripped-back acoustic arrangement of the song you chose, timed to the walk so the last chord lands as you arrive.
02
Cocktail hour
Sunset acoustic sets that sit under the conversation, then lift as the drinks flow and the sun drops.
03
First dance
Your song, arranged for you. Looped or acoustic, in your key, at your tempo, with a live ending nobody has heard before.
04
The party
Full-band energy from one musician: loops, harmonies and the songs every table knows the words to.

Thank you so much for an amazing ceremony and cocktail hour! The entrance hymn made me so emotional (it was my mom's favourite hymn). All our guests absolutely loved the cocktail hour, especially my dad.

PA, microphones and lighting for ceremony and reception, set up and run by Dan.

How far ahead should we book a wedding singer in Dubai?+
Peak season (October to April) fills months out, and Fridays and Saturdays go first. Send the date as soon as you have the venue and Dan will confirm availability within a day.
Can you learn our first dance song?+
Yes. One or two special requests are learned in advance for every wedding, arranged acoustically or looped so it sounds like you, not a karaoke track.
Do you play the ceremony and the party?+
Yes. Most couples book the full day: ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner and the party set, or Dan hands over to a DJ after the first dance.
Do you bring your own sound system?+
Yes. PA, microphones and lighting for ceremonies and receptions up to a few hundred guests, indoors or on the beach. Larger ballrooms use the venue's system.
Do you travel outside Dubai?+
Yes. Dan has played weddings across the UAE and in Italy, and events in Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain and Oman.
Can you play with a band or a saxophonist?+
Yes. The core act is solo with a loop station; a second vocalist, sax or full band can be added for the party.
