About / Biography

With years of experience in the wedding industry, we’re dedicated to providing you with the highest quality music for your special day. From the ceremony to the reception, our band will be there to ensure that your wedding music is nothing short of unforgettable.

We offer music services for both Church ceremonies and non-religious ones. Whether you’re having a traditional wedding in a church or a modern outdoor wedding, we’ve got you covered.

At the ceremony, we offer a trio ensemble featuring an acoustic guitar, saxophone, and percussion. We’ll create a soothing ambiance as you exchange vows and make memories that will last a lifetime.

As for the reception, we’ll play some moderate music during the aperitif to create a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere. After the meal, we’ll start a fire concert to get everyone up and dancing. Our full band includes a guitar, bass, drums, saxophone, and trombone. We’ll play a variety of music styles, from oldies to contemporary hits, to keep your guests entertained throughout the night.

Our comprehensive music services include everything from the ceremony trio to the full band and DJ set up for the reception. We provide all the necessary equipment, including sound systems and lighting, to make sure the music is heard and enjoyed by all. We can even help with MC duties:

our experienced vocalists will work closely with you and your wedding planner to ensure that the reception runs smoothly and according to schedule. They will make necessary announcements, such as introducing the wedding party, toasts, or other special moments. They can also coordinate events like the cutting of the cake and the first dance of the married couple, ensuring that everything happens at the right time and that your guests are engaged and entertained throughout the reception.

Our Self Portrait Blues family understands the importance of music in creating the perfect wedding experience. That’s why we work closely with our clients to understand their vision and create a customized setlist that perfectly captures the spirit of their special day.

Technical Info

What are your basic technical requirements?

We need 4m x 2m, a power outlet, and at least two parking spaces. We are self-sufficient for everything else


What information do you require about a venue?

From the venue, we need mutual cooperation throughout the day to ensure that the event runs smoothly and is enjoyable for the guests. We just need to know where to set up the main stage, where the cake cutting will take place, if there is a dressing room or a bathroom where we can change, and a storage space for the empty instrument cases


Do you provide sound and lighting equipment?

Yes, we’re completely self contained. We bring our own PA system to all of our gigs as well as a simple lighting rig


Can you provide a Spotify/DJ service before and between your sets?

Yes, during the moments when we are not playing, we always leave background music from Spotify. Our clients can choose the playlist or leave that task to us. At the end of the live performance, if requested, our saxophonist DJ will take over to keep everyone dancing

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best gig you've ever done and the best venue you've ever worked at?

Every gig is the best for us—we give 100% in any situation, no matter the challenges. One of the most memorable gigs was probably in the garden of a hotel in the center of Rome when a massive storm suddenly broke out. Instead of panicking and running for cover, we helped the guests take shelter in a very small room inside. With just a few instruments, we managed to keep everyone dancing, even though they were completely soaked.

We’ve had the opportunity to perform at almost every wedding venue in Rome and its province, as well as in various locations across Italy


What's your favourite type of event?

We love playing anywhere there are people eager to dance—from pubs to big stages, to weddings where guests just want to have fun. We always say, 'Your enjoyment is our energy


What's your previous experience and how did you start gigging?

The band was formed in 2003 and has never stopped playing with passion and energy since. Our work naturally followed as a result of the dedication and professionalism we put into every event. We never needed special advertising or marketing strategies—word of mouth from our clients over the years was enough.

We take pride in having a 100% success rate at our events, where even those who usually don’t dance end up getting involved and enjoying the party, swept away by our spirit.


Which artists have you been most influenced by, who is your favourite artist and what is the greatest song of all time?

The artists who inspire us are the great rock ‘n’ roll legends of the ‘50s and ‘60s—Elvis Presley, Bill Haley, Chuck Berry, Little Richard, and James Brown—all the way to the present day with the vibrant Bruno Mars or the romantic Coldplay. Along the way, we draw influence from the iconic The Beatles, Beach Boys, as well as Oasis and Green Day.

The greatest song ever written? That’s a tough one to answer—we could easily make a top 100! But if you reach out to us, we’d love to discover it together
