Here’s What Our Clients Are Saying About Us
Everyone kept telling us how great the band was and how you created the perfect atmosphere for everyone at our reception… we had a custom made reception from The Times Square Orchestra.
Nobody had to come up to the band and ask you to turn down the volume. You seemed to know just when to play the right music — and when to let people talk during dinner.
Quick Answers For Planning Couples
Can you learn a song that isn’t on your list?
Yes. If your first dance or parent dance isn’t on our master songlist, contact us at least thirty (30) days before your wedding and we will learn it for you.
Do you provide music for the ceremony and cocktail hour too?
Absolutely — that’s what “full-service” means. Along with the band we offer harpist, classical strings, jazz trio, steel drums and DJ/MC services for every part of your day.
Where do you perform?
We play weddings and parties across Long Island, the New York metro area and New Jersey — from Garden City to the Hamptons.
A Few Notes On Gifting The Big Day
We play Long Island weddings every week, so couples often ask what actually works — and what ends up in a drawer. Here is where we start.
The Groom’s Watch
The toast moment that never misses. For the groom who loves a statement piece, a Richard Mille replica brings the six-figure look to the wrist without the six-figure bill.
