When you hire the Alison Wonderland Band for your next event, you aren't just hiring 5 highly talented, professional seasoned musicians, you are also hiring years of experience in wedding and event planning. Live music is the element that brings a party to life and the band loves nothing more than to entertain and give their audiences the time of their lives.
Each show can be customized for length and up to 3 new selections can be requested (based on arrangements) at no extra charge to add that unique touch to your event. The band comes fully equipped with PA and lighting so there's no need to source out an extra supplier for those items.
The band also offers DJ style cocktail music during cocktail hours and dinner and lively dance music in between sets and at the end of the performance to keep the party in high gear all night. Alison is also a professional Emcee and can expertly guide your evening through careful planning and timing of the evening's events, leaving you to enjoy your night to the fullest.
Arrival set up, and sound-check happens hours before your guests arrive and ensures that there are no last minute "hiccups" to ruin the event. All gear is of the highest professional quality and kept in the best repair at all times.
You may choose from either 3, one hour sets or 2 one-and-a-half hour sets for the quoted price. The band can play for an extended period of time over and above this, for a nominal fee.
The band encourages interaction during their performance, often egging the group on to sing along with them and join in the fun.
The band comes dressed appropriately for your event, whether it be a backyard BBQ or a fancy black tie affair. They've even been known to dress up in costume for events like Halloween. Normal attire, if not specified is dress slacks and shirts for the guys and a dress for the lady.
Please don't hesitate to ask any questions you may have. They are at your service.

Based in Cornwall, Ontario, Alison Wonderland is a professional, seasoned band representing the music of the 60’s right up to the chart-toppers of today, many of which are considered “rare gems”, simply not played by other performing groups. Catering to a variety of musical tastes, they can fix you up with pop, classic rock and new country as well as satisfy your cravings for the oldies, 70s and 80s, disco and some “AM gold” sound. Each one is a timeless classic, sure to summon up memories while summoning you to the dance floor. Alison Wonderland’s effect is almost magical, and sure to strike a resounding chord that people will still be talking about long after the night’s songs have faded out.
Every show has a prime objective: to get you up out of your seat and moving to the beat or singing along with us at the very least. And don’t be surprised if the band members try to get some people in the crowd directly involved with the show. If the mood is right, they just may be asked to come up on stage for a song or two!
Alison Wonderland is available to travel throughout Ontario, Quebec and across Canada to entertain audiences, specializing in wedding receptions, special event parties, corporate galas and functions, award shows and fairs and festivals.
