About Plan Event

Our purpose is simple: to make finding and booking live music feel personal, straightforward and well organised.

We bring string ensembles and other musicians to various events across Sydney and surrounding regions.

We understand what happens on stage – that makes it all come together so seamlessly.

Our Story

Before Plan Event had a website, music, weddings and other events were already a significant part of our lives.

Patricia was performing at weddings, corporate functions and private celebrations, often through other agencies. Alongside that work, we spent years helping organise string players and other musicians for different events.

Over time, an idea took shape: why not create our own agency, connect directly with clients and bring together the musical talent we knew?

Plan Event became a way to do exactly that. We created the website to make it easier for clients to discover our performers, explore different musical options and organise their event music with us.

Today, that same hands-on experience guides how we work—from choosing the right ensemble to preparing for the moments that matter.

I worked alongside Ray at a recent wedding and found him friendly, professional and easy to deal with. It was a pleasure meeting him and I’d be happy to recommend his services.

Patricia's performance was simply stunning, elegant and classy! She effortlessly and distinctively connected with her audience. We enjoyed watching her gliding near each of our guests' tables during her performance. She made the celebration of our Golden Wedding Anniversary definitely more memorable particularly with the classical pieces that we requested in addition to her listed repertoire. Won't hesitate to engage her virtuosity as a violinist again.

We hired Patricia, a solo acoustic violinist, for our wedding ceremony at Oatlands Estate, and she was absolutely amazing! A true rising star! Her beautiful music made our special day even more magical, and we received so many compliments from our guests. Highly recommended!

Electra Strings recently played at a wedding I was photographing. The music was so beautiful and despite being outdoors, could be heard perfectly. She not only played during the ceremony as the wedding party entered but also during cocktail hour, often roaming and providing lovely background music for guests to enjoy. Highly recommended.

Jamie Brewer

Patricia is an amazingly talented musician and a breeze to work with. Would totally recommend her if you are planning an event.

Simone Costiug

Great music, really professional and discrete. Overall a great experience for a wedding. Very conscious of when to play and when not or when to hit harder or go more gentle. And most important really polite and friendly!
