Engagement Party – Whether an elegant party at a hotel to a backyard bash at home, your engagement party gets the word out that you’re getting married. It’s a magical time to share good wishes with loved ones and friends alike. Often a cocktail party, an informal dinner or barbecue, your engagement party sets the stage for events to follow. Consider a Live Combo, Soloist or DJ to liven up the party. Ask us how. We’ll help get the party started.
Rehearsal Dinner – Entertain your guests from the first event forward. It is never too soon to make guest smile with the music of the day. Even though the purpose of the night is to practice the line up, you may want to give the wedding party a taste of things to come. Choose a soloist or jazz band to play elegant background music, hybrid band to play a variety music, a DJ to play a little of everything or a more full sounding live band to make the dinner an event.
Wedding Ceremony – Whether you choose a more traditional route and select classical music to create an elegant sound to greet your guests and accompany your walk down the isle or a more contemporary selection, we have the soloists and ensembles you are looking for. If you simply must hear an original rendition at your ceremony, DJs are also an option for ceremony music. We’ll match the music to your style and learn your special tunes so you can enjoy your day your way. We will gladly provide the entertainment for a commitment ceremony as well.
Cocktail Reception – After the ceremony, you’ll be taking photos, signing your marriage certificate and hopefully enjoying a few stolen moments of alone time as a married couple. Your guests will be waiting, so let’s entertain them. Nice appetizers, drinks aplenty, and music will set the mood. Choose a soloist or jazz band to play elegant background music, a hybrid band to play a variety music, a DJ to play a little of everything or a full ensemble to make the dinner an event. Call us to discuss more ideas.
Wedding Reception – Whether small and intimate or the event of the year, your wedding reception is a reflection of your style, your personality and your way of entertaining. A wedding reception is a rare event unlike any party you’ve hosted. And the music has to be right for you, your guests and the day. We’ll help you selectjust the right music and artist to set the mood and help you and your guests swing into action. It’s not just a choice between a band and a DJ anymore. Event elements such as the number of guests, size of the event space and budget considerations have evolved new ways of entertaining your guests. Select the band of your dreams, the right DJ, hybrid band, or even a low key soloist or combo to fill your senses, touch your emotions and celebrate the most important day of your life.
Day-After Brunch – The wedding may be over, the party is just starting. Celebrate in style your final day-after brunch with the people who mean so much to you. This send-off can be a low-key breakfast or a grand celebration. Either way, simple but elegant music can help ease people on their way with a song in their heart and a rendition of your first dance in their head. Select a Soloist, Jazz combo, a DJ or a Hybrid Band to send just the right final message.
