Let us make the evening of your life

Encore plans the room and then plays it. One team books the venue, dresses it, runs the sound and puts a nine-piece band on the stand — for weddings, for company nights, and for the concerts we promote ourselves.

Overview

Everything the evening needs, from one team

Four things go wrong at an event, and three of them are somebody waiting on somebody else. We do all four ourselves.

Planning

Rooms that run themselves

We take the venue, the vendors, the running order and the timings off your hands eight weeks out, and hand you back a schedule you can read in one page. On the night there is a producer on the floor with a radio, so nobody has to find you to ask a question.

Design

Dressing that flatters the light

Tables, florals, drapes and every lamp in the room, drawn to scale before anything is hired. We build to the light we will actually have at eight o'clock rather than the light in the photograph — which is why our rooms look like the drawing after dark instead of before it.

Live music

A band, not a playlist

Nine resident players — horns, keys, guitar, drums and two vocalists — with a repertoire running from highlife and gospel through soul and Afrobeats. They learn your first dance properly, in your key, and they read a room better than any algorithm.

Production

Sound and light that behave

Our own line array, our own desks and our own lighting rig, loaded in by a crew that has done the venue before. Nothing on your night is hired on the morning, and nothing is being operated by somebody who met the room at four o'clock.

Testimonials

Real nights, real rooms

Nine of the two hundred and twelve reviews left for us since 2019.

“We had four hundred people in a garden and not one of them noticed anything being carried. The band started at nine and we could not get anybody to sit down again.”

Afia Boateng

Wedding · Aburi

“They quoted in writing, they held the price, and the invoice at the end was the quote. After eleven years of company parties I did not know that was possible.”

Kwesi Ampofo

Head of People, Nkabom Bank

“The horns learned my mother's favourite hymn in her key and played it while she came in. She has watched that video every week since.”

Naa Dedei Lamptey

Anniversary · East Legon

“Our AGM ran to the minute for the first time in six years. The producer had a radio and a printed running order and simply made it happen.”

Seth Nyarko

Company secretary, Volta Foods

“I asked for something warmer than the mood board and they redrew the lighting plot the same evening. It looked like the drawing on the night, which never happens.”

Esi Ofori-Atta

Wedding · Labadi

“Two thousand tickets, their own PA, their own crew, and the doors opened on time. They promote their own nights, so nothing about ours surprised them.”

Yaw Antwi

Promoter, Chalé Sessions

“The traditional drummers walked my father in and the band picked the rhythm up without a break. It is the moment everybody still talks about.”

Ama Serwaa

Engagement · Kumasi

“They turned a warehouse in Tema into somewhere you would happily get married. I still do not entirely understand how.”

Daniel Mensah

Launch night, Korle Works

“Our guests were from nine countries and the set list somehow spoke to all of them. Highlife at midnight had the Germans on the floor.”

Mabel Quartey

Conference dinner · Airport City
