We go all out to make your party one that your guests will always remember. Sometimes you might just want a live band or musicians. We have you covered! The premier live band experience that you will encounter, featuring top rated musicians. Performing everything funky and smooth, making you want to dance all night. Our primary goal is to ensure that your event is memorable and we will keep the dance floor packed from beginning to end.
Whether you’re planning a small intimate or grand event, our bands are known for non-stop exciting performances that will keep the crowd entertained.
When selecting a band for your wedding reception you should think about atmosphere. Do you want a party atmosphere for dancing or would you prefer more background music to allow more conversation?
For the party atmosphere, most people like the band to play “a bit of everything” from the 50s to present day to suit the wide age ranges of wedding guests. Professional wedding bands tend to have a wide repertoire of music and can normally adapt well to suit any wedding reception crowd.
If you are looking for a more formal “black tie” type event (or something with more of a vintage feel) jazz bands are also very popular for providing music at a wedding reception. They can add an extra touch of class to proceedings, while still allowing for conversation between guests.
Remember to consider the taste of all of your guests, their age range and whether they would prefer to dance, listen to the music or a mixture of the two.
