Best entertainers in Pomona
Pomona is a hinterland town under Mount Cooroora, and its list is about as acoustic as a page on this site gets. A singer and a folk duo live in Pomona, a singer-songwriter at Lake MacDonald, a singer down the Mary Valley at Kandanga, then the jug band at Eumundi, the country band at Doonan and the river acts at Tewantin and Noosaville. There's no DJ and no dance band in the ten, and honestly, for a farm wedding or a hall party up here, that's the right list.
Distances are short on the map and longer on the road. Kandanga and Lake MacDonald are twenty-odd minutes of winding bitumen, Noosaville a little more, and the big Sunshine Coast pool with its wedding bands and cover bands starts a good forty minutes away at Maroochydore and Buderim. Gympie has a page too and it's roughly the same drive as the coast, in the other direction.

Questions people ask about entertainers in Pomona
How much do wedding ceremony musicians cost around Pomona?
In the hinterland the ceremony musician is usually one person with a guitar or a duo, and they're priced on time on site plus the drive, which for a property out past Kin Kin or down the Mary Valley can be real. Ask for the ceremony and the cocktail hour as one figure, because that's how most of the Pomona acts think about it. The from-prices shown on this page are what the local singers and duos are quoting now.
Are there any bands in the Noosa hinterland?
A few, and they're folk and country rather than cover bands: the jug band at Eumundi and the country band at Doonan are the two on this list, and both suit a barn or a shed better than a pub-style cover set. For a rock or pop band you're looking at the coast, and the Sunshine Coast page is where they live. A duo with a second, louder set is the middle path a lot of hinterland couples take.
Will Noosa acts play a wedding at Pomona or Kin Kin?
Most will, and Pomona is a short enough run from Tewantin that it rarely shows on the quote. Kin Kin, Cooran and the Mary Valley are further and the roads are slower after dark, so those are the addresses where a travel line or an earlier finish gets mentioned. Give the property address rather than the town and let the act price the actual drive.
Booking tips
Ceremony act from here, reception act from the coast
The Pomona and Cooroy acts are singers, duos and folk players who suit a ceremony and a long afternoon. If the night needs a band with a dance floor, the Sunshine Coast and Noosa Heads pages carry them; ask what they add for the hinterland run.
Halls and farms have their own power problems
A lot of hinterland venues are sheds, halls and paddocks, and the power point is a long extension lead away. Tell the act what's there, because a folk duo can play unplugged where a bigger act can't.
Winter is Pomona's quiet season and its best one
The hinterland is cooler than the beach and the wedding calendar thins out from June to August, so a winter Saturday gets the local singers with room to spare. In spring, when the coast is flat out, they're busy too.
