We recommend booking your wedding musicians well in advance—ideally 1-2 years ahead—to secure your preferred string ensemble, band, or DJ and ensure availability on your chosen date. While other events like corporate functions, private parties, birthdays, celebrations of life, fundraisers, and galas often book closer to the event date, weddings require more time for detailed planning. This allows us to discuss your musical preferences, organize your playlist, and create a customized timeline that aligns with your vision.

Based on your input, we tailor a musical package to suit your needs—whether it's a string quartet for the ceremony, a jazz band for the cocktail hour, or a full band for the reception. Once you're satisfied with the proposed entertainment package, we'll secure your date upon receipt of a signed contract and deposit.

• Music Planning: Once you are officially boooked, we collaborate closely with you throughout the music planning phase, assisting with timeline decisions, offering song selection advice, and sharing our expertise on event flow and best practices. Whether you seek personalized guidance on event sequencing or wedding inspiration for selecting the perfect music for a key moment, our team is here to assist you.
