Simon can work with any schedule you have in mind. But as a guide, most shows are 4 x 45 minute sets.
For weddings, Simon can play the ceremony as well as the reception. If you have a particular song in mind for walking down the isle, first dance, signing the register, and the walk out simply let him know. And if he doesn't know it, he'll learn it for you!
