This gorgeous space is Mudbrick's most well known wedding location, complemented by sea views, a well stocked bar, and the all-important dancefloor. Bands are situated in front of the fireplace, to the left of the french doors as you enter the building. Depending on guest numbers, we recommend bands ranging from duos up to 5 piece party bands.
Our recommended bands for Mudbrick wedding receptions are Soul 9 Yards, Pepperjacks, Good To Go, Allenby Park, Jumpsuit and Honeytrap.
Soul 9 Yards
Genres: Pop, Funk & Soul, R'n'B
Auckland based Soul 9 Yards have been performing their mix of Soul, Motown and 90s hip hop and r’n’b since 2017. The band perform soulful cuts by the likes of Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, Aretha Franklin and Amy Winehouse, combining Allana Goldsmith’s honey dipped vocals with a backing band of some of Auckland’s baddest cats. Their music is raw, real and authentic, with plenty of room for every member to improvise and go where the songs lead them.
“What’s a party without awesome sounds? Soul 9 yards had my friends and family up dancing from early on and I loved seeing my mum dancing with everyone all night long. Allana wow what a voice so beautiful and the setlist couldn’t have been more perfect for this 50 year girl! Busy night and I just wish I could go back and replay it all over, everyone commented what an awesome band! Please pass on my thanks for making my celebration so memorable. Thanks also to findaband what a great website when trying to choose from all the amazing talent, thank you for organising it all for me.”

Whether the vibe is a laid back summer afternoon or something with a bit more dancefloor flavour, they have it covered.

“Allenby Park performed during our welcome function which greeted guests from America, to New Zealand. Their ability to showcase the tones of New Zealand and set the mood to the crowd was impressive. Our client was shocked when so many guests started dancing later on in the evening after saying they were not a ‘dancy crowd’. Thank you Sam and Manoah, truly spectacular..”

“Chris and the boys were a HUGE hit on the day during our annual Fletcher Building Round the Bays post event party. We had loads of positive feedback both on the day and post event, with lots of requests for a repeat performance in 2018. Music selection was perfect for this group with the band gave our 1200 pax marque (second biggest at Madills Farm) great atmosphere. Chris personalised parts of the songs bringing humour to this great playlist. The boys were punctual, friendly and accommodating and I will definitely be booking them again for future Fletcher Building Events plus recommending to friends, family and colleagues. Thanks again for a professional, successful gig guys!”

“We had the Meteors play at our wedding for three sets in the evening. They are an excellent band and hugely talented but what impressed me the most was their choice of set list. We had not planned a set list with them before the wedding but their song choices were perfect to get people dancing immediately, and later on in the evening to create a wonderful party atmosphere. The Meteors helped make our day perfect for us!”
