As a versatile band, capable of performing in several different formations, we have flexible packages to fit the entertainment needs of your event and budget.
Investment is dependent upon the number of musicians in the band, the amount of time the band will be performing, and the day of the week. At all events, whether there are 40 or 400 guests, we include the appropriate sized sound system as well as wireless microphones for any toasts and announcements. For events with greater than 500 guests, we subcontract with a sound company to provide all front-of-the-house sound.
We offer three main packages and each wedding and reception is as unique as the couple so please contact us by phone or email for a consultation, to find out if we are a good fit, and for some proposal options. If possible, please include the date and time of the event, the location, and what you are looking for (i.e. reception band, reception and ceremony music, additional lighting, band size etc.).
Packages & Booking
We want to get to know you and hear about what you have in mind. We also want you to be totally confident we’re the perfect fit for you AND whenever you think about all the decisions to make in planning the event, you get excited when you think of all your friends and family going nuts on the dance floor.

1) CONTACT US - We really pride ourselves on being the perfect band for the perfect client. So we would love to hear about you, and what you have in mind to help determine if we are a good mutual fit! Contact us and if possible, please include the date and time of the event, the location, and a few details on what you have in mind (i.e. a wide variety of music for a wedding reception, music for a ceremony, a live band for a corporate event, and/or “we just want to party!”). After we get some information we can send over some of our packages.
2) DECIDE ON BAND SIZE & PACKAGE - For the majority of our weddings, we offer three packages. “Do I want a 10-piece band with three singers and three horns or a 12-piece band with four singers and four horns? Do I want the band to play 45-60-minute sets with a DJ break or do I want the band to play continuous 3 hours?” At all events, whether you have 40 or 400 guests, we always provide top of the line sound equipment, dynamic lighting for the stage and dance floor, wireless microphones for any toasts or announcements, Danny handling the Emcee duties, a lighting tech and DJ to keep the music going during any breaks, AND most importantly, the same 8-14-piece band that has been giving guests a night they’ll always remember week after week!
3) SIGN THE CONTRACT AND PAY A RETAINER - We only book one event per night so once we are locked in for your date, you’ve got us!
4) SIT BACK AND RELAX/WATCH SOME OF OUR VIDEOS TO GET EXCITED ABOUT YOUR DAY! Follow us on Instagram to see what we’re up to from week to week.

You likely have many important things to worry about when planning a reception, but when the wedding day comes, YOUR favorite music and having a packed dance floor won't have to be one of them! The second your guests walk into the reception they'll be greeted by the entire band playing some upbeat grooves setting the tone for the evening. Maybe some big band and Sinatra with the horns and drums providing the swing or some stripped down acoustic songs by Amy Winehouse or Harry Styles. As dinner progresses, we feel the energy in the room shift and become the dance and party band that essentially will just make everyone exhausted. This package includes four 45-minute sets (or some equivalent) of live music for a 4-5 hour reception as a 6-14-piece experiential band, DJ'ed music on any breaks, MC, stage and dance floor lighting (which greatly enhance the look of any photos or video), state-of-the-art sound system, and wireless mics for toasts or announcements.
As an 8-piece band we play with male and female vocals (Danny & Teresa/Ka’Vonda), bass (Siah), drums (Andreas), lead guitar (Josh/Trent), keys (Quincy), and a two-piece horn section (Damon/Tim/Kelby/Joe/Matthew). As a 10-piece band (our smallest band size for Saturday events) the addition of a third vocalist and a third horn makes the crowd interaction and sound that much more engaging. With a 12-piece band we add a 4th vocalist and a 4th horn for a full show-band feel.*
Regardless of the band size, the wide-ranging song list is the same and we pride ourselves on seamlessly transitioning from playing lighter acoustic and/or jazzy dinner music to being a high-energy dance band. We consult with you on music styles, the order of events for the reception and how the live music sets will be divided (dinner music vs. dancing). Serving as the emcee, Danny can announce the couple, dinner, toasts, etc.
Our video page includes videos showcasing the band's different styles and ability to read the room to fit one specific night.

This package expands “Your Day” with the addition of some of the other services we offer. We perform at ceremonies starting music 20-30 minutes before as your guests arrive. They can find their seats to our unique acoustic arrangements performed by our guitarist/vocalist, cellist, and keyboardist trio. After the preservice they will accompany any processionals (family, bridal party, and the bridal processional), play the ceremony music, and the recessional. They play both traditional classical and instrumental wedding music along with more contemporary songs as specified by you. If you have a song in mind that we don’t already play, we can learn it! We also provide a wireless lapel microphone for the officiant and microphones for any readers.
We also have additional packages that include providing staging for the band (with either black or white acrylic siding), uplighting, cold sparks, second line entrances/exits, and/or full overhead trussing for more dynamic lighting on the dance floor and throughout the room.

With this elite package we bring our 14-piece band (5 vocalists and 5 horns) and two additional musicians to sub in to give you a nonstop, 2.5-3-hour continuous play set that will leave you and all your guests exhausted!
We also most often pair this package with our full over-the-stage trussing with a fully coordinate light display once the dance sets begin.
We can customize a package that includes some combination of the three listed. Contact us about your event and we can talk about what might work best for you!
