We love SteelRiver Duo!

Lauren was so lovely to work with from the very beginning. She was very responsive and organized in helping us plan our Celebration of Love Party. Lauren and Will have such a cool sound and vibe and kept the energy up and the party going. Thank you so much SteelRiver Duo! Your sound is amazing and we were so lucky to have you celebrate with us on our special day!

Hire Lauren Roy and Southbound Soul for your wedding!!!

My husband and I cannot express how amazing Lauren and the rest of Southbound Soul (William, Justin, Jonathan, and Stefan) was for our wedding in Sept 2022. We had done quite a bit of research looking for live entertainment for our special day and when we came across Lauren we knew she was our top pick. Her insane talent and energy and her selection and style of music was exactly what we pictured for our wedding day. Lauren was really incredible to work with. She was able to create a package for us to meet all of our needs for our day and for our venue, was very responsive the entire time, and was so professional and confident. Her confidence that she would make our entertainment dreams come true and the trust that that instilled in us was something that meant a lot, especially during the more stressful time in the weeks leading up to the wedding. During our last meeting before our big day, she did such an amazing going through all of the details, making plans to accommodate special performances from my husband and a guest, and making us feel relaxed that no matter what we could leave music in her hands. And while this is all great, the fact that she is so kind, and caring, and so much fun is just the cherry on top of it all.

On the day of our wedding she managed our ceremony, cocktail, dinner, and first dance music, and then put on an INSANE performance all night long with the band. The entire day it felt so good knowing that everything related to our music was in hands that we trusted and it went flawlessly.

Do not hesitate to book Lauren - you won't regret it!

Lauren Roy truly made our wedding day perfect.

Lauren Roy truly made our wedding day perfect.
She was a pleasure to work with from start to finish, and extremely flexible and understanding with our constant changes and adjustments as a result of COVID. Along with an acoustic guitarist, she lit up the room at our ceremony, nailing the slow, acoustic versions of some of our more up-beat favourites ("Best Friend" by Queen, "Home" by Edward Sharp and the Magnetic Zeroes, "Believer" by The Monkeys) and putting a tremendous amount of heart and soul into some of the traditional wedding classics ("Moon River," "Can't Help Falling in Love With You"). I was originally concerned that the single guitarist and singer wouldn't be enough to keep the energy high at our intimate backyard reception, but Lauren assured me she and her guitarist alone could "bring the party," and they absolutely delivered. We couldn't believe how big of a sound they pulled off with just the two musicians; it felt like we had hired a 5 or 6 piece band (without bothering the neighbours). After the wedding many of our guests expressed how much they enjoyed the music, and some even asked for her information to hire her themselves. Lauren took so much of the stress off of us during the planning process, and made our wedding day unforgettable. I could not recommend her highly enough.

10yr Anniversary Backyard Surprise

Lauren, not only has one of the most amazing voices, she is all around amazing. Flexible, creative, connected, thoughtful, and endearing.

She was a personal referral to help plan a surprise backyard safe celebration for my wife and my 10 year wedding anniversary. The night couldn't have been more perfect. Lauren and her bandmate Will sang and played such well-suited music including some key recommendations like our wedding song. Lauren also through her extended team brought in other wedding elements like our flowers and cake. It didn't end there. Her photographer and chef matched the style of the occasion naturally. As my wife now shares with me it had everything she wanted in our wedding with the opportunity to selfishly just focus on each other.

Lauren, I can't thank you enough for helping create a once in a lifetime memory which is just so amazing to have with our home! Pictures say a 1000 words.

The right decision

Picking live music for your big day is a big decision. They set the tone of the event and are relied upon to help get the crowd in the right mood and moving. We listened to so many options, and ultimately Steelriver Duo was the 10/10 perfect fit for our backyard wedding.

Lauren was so professional and walked us through the whole process of planning the music for our big day from ceremony, signing, cocktail hour, dinner. She managed it all, and made our choices easy. Basically, once she had an idea of what we wanted, she 'got it' and was able to take the load off from us and make the perfect day happen.

Our guests could not stop complimenting Lauren & Will on the day of, and we STILL (okay, it's only been 2 weeks) comment on the amazing tone these two set and quality of music they played for our special day. They took our wedding to the next level. They elevated our event in a way that I could not have imagined. They made it so very special.

Note: We had originally booked Southbound Soul, their four piece band for our larger April wedding, but with COVID ended up only with SteelRiver Duo for our backyard wedding for 40 people.

Just do it. You will be so happy that you did.

Amazing Singer! Amazing Experience!

Lauren was absolutely incredible to deal with. She was professional, friendly, and her voice is incredible. She has such a great vibe I felt instantly connected and knew that I wanted her for my wedding. She was the very first booking I made for our wedding! She made the entire experience easy and fun. She set the tone for our wedding and we were super happy with her services.

Hands down the best!

From start to finish, working with Lauren was the absolute dream! Lauren is super organised, efficient and an absolute professional, not to mention super talented! There are so many great wedding band options out there but I think you'd be hard pushed to find someone that manages everything so efficiently as Lauren (song lists, just the right number of reminders, keeping in touch to make sure that she had the right equipment for our venue). Lauren took the time out to meet with us face-to-face during her family holiday in Abu Dhabi - we got on amazingly and left feeling like we'd made a new friend!

On the day of our wedding, Lauren rocked up and just quietly did her magic, setting up for 4 different locations and also arranging a stereo set up for background music during the dinner. Everything was seamless, including the mad dash inside midway through our ceremony, by the end of the ceremony Lauren and Will were all set up again and ready to serenade us back down the aisle. Amazing! Lauren and Will's talent and versatility speaks for itself and is one of the main reasons that we chose them - they pulled off everything from learning Fleetwood Mac and a country song for our first dance, to absolutely rocking the dance floor at the end of the night. Thank you so much Lauren and Will!

A Night to Remember

It took some time to find the perfect band for us, and we couldn’t believe our luck when we stumbled upon these wonderful musicians with the perfect sound! We are so glad to have worked with Lauren and her wonderfully talented band for our wedding. We had the pleasure of having them for our whole day and they provided lovely sets that perfectly suited each of the different parts (ceremony, cocktail, reception). The special song we requested they learn we couldn’t imagine any better, and it is now my favourite rendition of it :) Their music perfectly set the scene for the day, and had the guests dancing, smiling, singing, and dancing some more; they loved the atmosphere. There has been no end to the guests who have approached us since the wedding telling us how magnificent they thought the music was, and what an incredible voice the singer had! Working with Lauren during the planning was one of the things that stood out most to us. One of our early concerns with music was that we wanted it to reflect our musical tastes, which can be somewhat eclectic, as well as providing everyone with music they could enjoy. Lauren took all of those concerns away immediately. She is a dream to work with, organized, calm, flexible, and a genuinely delightful person to talk to. She worked with us to establish exactly how much we wanted to be involved in the music selection and was there to step in and do as much as we wanted her to. We didn’t have to stress about entertainment, one of the most important aspects for us, at all; we trusted her completely, and she went above and beyond! Thank you for being such a great part of our day!

Hey there!

I'm Lauren Roy, the heart & soul behind Boutique —a mission driven by my passion and a deep love for crafting unforgettable moments through music.

My journey into the entertainment world kicked off with a simple desire—to make people feel something special through the magic of music.

With a background in both event planning and music, I quickly realized the incredible impact a carefully curated soundtrack could have on any celebration. And, I firmly believe in throwing out the rulebook and embracing what feels true and authentic to each couple.

Fuelled by my genuine love for connecting with likeminded souls, I set out on a mission to shake up how we experience music in life's big moments. My commitment goes beyond just providing entertainment; it's about understanding the unique stories of each couple and weaving those narratives into the musical tapestry of their day.

To me, Boutique Entertainment isn't just a business; it's a personal mission to bring joy, emotion, and individuality to every celebration and ensure the road to get there is just as lovely as the big day itself.

​Let's embark on this journey together to create something truly beautiful - and truly YOU.
