The hour
after the
vows.

Authentic is a duo from Colombo playing weddings and slow evenings across the island. English and Sinhala, mixed through the night, at a volume that still lets your table talk.

Two of us, and that is the point

A duo fits a room a band cannot. No stage build, no soundcheck that swallows your afternoon, no wall of volume between you and the people who flew in for this. Guitar, voice, and a PA that arrives in the back of a car.

What an evening looks like

Four shapes, built with you beforehand rather than guessed on the night.

01

Ceremony and drinks

Acoustic and unamplified where the venue allows. Processional, signing, and the hour of drinks after, kept low and warm.

2 to 3 hrs
02

Dinner sets

Under the conversation, never over it. English standards folded together with Sinhala songs half the room will know by the second line.

2 x 45 min
03

The late evening

Shoes off, floor filling. Where the playlist mix earns its keep and the duo reads the room rather than the setlist.

Open ended
04

Villa dinners and sundowners

Smaller nights that are not weddings at all. Birthdays, anniversaries, a house full of people who flew a long way.

By arrangement

Hear them before you book

Three tracks and a short crowd video sit here. For a couple deciding from London or Sydney, this is the block that closes the booking, so it is placed above the enquiry form on purpose.
