About Sticks and Tones
Sticks and Tones is an acoustic duo from Toowoomba: Darcy plays the cajon (the sticks) and Tom handles guitar and vocals (the tones). Their setlist spans 60s classics, Aussie pub rock and chart hits, shaped around the crowd on the night. Expect gentle background songs while guests eat, then singalongs and crowd-pleasers once people are ready to dance. For weddings there are two base packages. Silver covers the reception with three hours of live songs, basic lighting, a PA and wireless mic, and playlist tracks for entrances and other key moments. Gold looks after the whole day: Tom sings solo at the ceremony with a mic for the celebrant, plus cocktail-hour music, MC duties, dinner playlists and a four-hour live reception set. Extras include low fog, indoor sparklers, a photo booth and songs learnt specially. Birthdays, engagement parties, work Christmas parties, race days and long lunches are booked from four packages. Cocktail Party is two hours on a compact speaker, Silver suits about 80 guests indoors, and Gold handles up to 180 inside or 250 outdoors with a subwoofer. Platinum stretches to a five-hour show on a six-speaker system, with a request service where guests choose songs from printed sheets. The duo knows the wedding venues around Toowoomba and the Darling Downs, including Bracknell Lodge at Greenmount, Preston Peak Winery, Gabbinbar Homestead, Aberfeldy Farm and Barn, Middle Ridge Golf Club and Cooby Dam. Private farm properties are a big part of their calendar too.

A corner of about three metres by three metres with a power point is enough. For farm and outdoor weddings the duo checks access beforehand and can run from a generator.

Gold covers the ceremony, cocktail hour and reception: Tom performs solo at the ceremony with a mic for the celebrant, followed by cocktail-hour music, MC services, dinner playlists, lighting and a four-hour live set once the reception is under way.
How many guests can the party packages handle?
Silver is pitched at around 80 guests indoors, Gold at up to 180 inside or 250 outside, and Platinum, with the full six-speaker rig, at outdoor crowds of up to 250.
Can guests request songs on the night?
Yes. The duo plays from a list of around 260 songs, and the Platinum package includes a live request service where guests pick tracks from song sheets. A song can also be learnt specially as an extra.
How is a booking secured and paid for?
A 10% deposit holds the date, payable by card or bank transfer. Couples fill in a planning form a few weeks out and catch up online, and the balance is due 14 days after the event or can be paid upfront.
