Frequently Asked Questions

. Frequently Asked Questions — Live Music for Weddings & Events (NYC / NJ / PA)

. What kind of live music options do you offer for weddings and events?


We provide live bands, DJs, and hybrid DJ + live instrument sets (sax, percussion, guitar, vocals). Each lineup is customizable to match your event size, budget, and vibe.


. Can you cover ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception all in one day?


Absolutely. We design your music timeline from prelude and ceremony to cocktail hour and reception, coordinating directly with your planner and venue to ensure a seamless flow.


. Do you play Latin and multicultural music? Are you bilingual?


Yes! Our collective is proudly multicultural and bilingual (English/Spanish). We mix Latin soul, funk, pop, jazz, and traditional Latin rhythms to celebrate diverse audiences.

. How big should my wedding band be?
It depends on your venue and guest count:

  • 2-piece: perfect for ceremonies or cocktail hours

  • 4-piece: full sound for mid-sized venues

  • 8+ piece with horns: ideal for high-energy dance floors and large receptions
    We’ll help you find the right setup for your space and energy goals.

. What’s included in your technical setup?


We handle professional sound and lighting, including PA systems, wireless mics, monitors, consoles, and special effects like “dancing on clouds” or cold sparks. We can provide a full tech rider if your venue requests it.


. Can I book just a DJ or just a live band? What’s a hybrid set?


Yes. You can book a DJ-only, band-only, or a hybrid set — where a DJ performs with live musicians (like saxophone or percussion) for the best of both worlds: seamless transitions and live energy.

. Do you take song requests and special dances?


Of course! We include a pre-event music consultation and prepare up to two special requests (like first dance or parent dances). During the night, we read the crowd and keep the dance floor full.

. What’s your booking process?

  1. Discovery call to discuss your vision

  2. Custom proposal and performance plan

  3. Contract and deposit to secure your date

  4. Final music meeting with your planner or coordinator

. How far in advance should I book?


For high-season weekends in NYC, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania, we recommend 9–12 months in advance. For off-season or weekday events, 3–6 months usually works.

. Are you insured and can you provide a COI for my venue?


Yes. We carry full liability insurance and can issue a Certificate of Insurance (COI) to meet venue requirements.

. What space and power do you need?


A flat stage or performance area and dedicated 20-amp electrical circuits for audio and lighting are ideal. We’ll send a detailed technical rider in advance.

. Do you travel outside NYC/NJ/PA or offer destination weddings?


Yes. We travel throughout the Hudson Valley, Pennsylvania, and for destination weddings worldwide. Travel and lodging costs are included in your quote.

. Do you perform for corporate events and conferences?


Yes. We provide background music, high-energy performances, DJs, and AV setup for corporate galas, conferences, and private events.

. Do you offer photo and video packages too?


Yes — we can bundle live music, photo, and video coverage for a cohesive creative experience and streamlined logistics.

. What if I need to extend performance time during the event?


We offer overtime options in 30 or 60-minute blocks. You can decide on the spot, and we’ll handle it smoothly.

. How do you handle diverse audiences and mixed age groups?


We specialize in reading the crowd. Our sets blend eras and genres so that everyone—from your abuela to your college friends—has their moment on the dance floor.
