An acoustic duo or trio with a surprisingly full sound, subtle enough for the ceremony and energetic enough to fill the dance floor.

About the artist
What kind of atmosphere suits your day? Intimate and romantic during the ceremony, relaxed during the reception, or a party where everyone hits the dance floor? Lara's Cover Band adapts to the moment and provides live music that matches your wishes. The professional acoustic duo consists of a singer and guitarist, complemented by an electronic kick drum and hand percussion. This combination creates a warm, full sound that is larger than you would expect from such a compact setup.
The two musicians have been active full-time since 2017 and play over a hundred shows annually, about half of which are at weddings. Being married themselves, they understand the importance of the right music and good planning on such a day. During the ceremony, they coordinate everything with the wedding officiant and can also amplify the speaker's sound. This ensures that every special moment receives the attention it deserves, whether it's the bride's entrance, the exchange of vows, or the first dance together.
With a repertoire of about five hundred songs from sixty years of pop music, there is plenty of choice. Think romantic songs, well-known sing-alongs, cheerful classics, and guilty pleasures. You decide which music fits, with your own Spotify playlist, special request songs that are rehearsed in advance, and spontaneous requests from guests. During the reception, the music remains pleasantly in the background, while the tempo can certainly pick up later. Thanks to the amplified acoustic playing style, the volume remains fully controlled, allowing guests to hear each other well while the music still invites dancing. This is also a solution for venues with sound restrictions.
Do you want an even fuller sound for a larger party or an evening set? Then the duo can be expanded with a keyboardist. The band fits various locations, such as a banquet hall, a garden wedding, a festival setting, or a Mediterranean evening with long tables. Based in Gelderland, the musicians travel throughout the Netherlands to musically shape your day. Curious about what suits your plans?

Experiences
“We hired OnDestination for our 18th birthday. It was the first time we hired a DJ, so we were a bit skeptical about how everything would go. Fortunately, Dominique was very clear and open about his approach from the start. He provided good equipment himself and also arranged the transportation. Additionally, he coordinated everything seamlessly with the venue manager and ensured a smooth setup and breakdown. After giving him a few favorite songs, he managed to keep the atmosphere lively all evening. In short, thanks to OnDestination, it was a great party.”
“From the first contact, it felt right: professional, relaxed, and completely in tune with what we had in mind. On the evening itself, they brought exactly the right energy at the right moment, and the dance floor was never empty. Truly a recommendation if you're looking for a service that understands what your event needs!”
“The guys from OnDestination know what they're doing. They manage everything while really thinking along with the client. They offer a fair price for it. Most importantly, they sense the atmosphere at a party like no one else and adjust their playlist accordingly. It was great and we really enjoyed it immensely!”
