What to Expect
Expect a lot of dancing, a lot of singing along, and an unforgettable party that friends and family will remember for decades.
Your experience starts months before we arrive. After meeting for coffee, we work together to create a custom setlist, just for you. You want the Cupid Shuffle? No problem. You can't stand the Cupid Shuffle? Let's skip it and find your perfect songs.
We then talk with your coordinator and venue to work out logistical details (parking, food, electricity, setup, etc.). When the day comes, we show up early to set up before guests arrive.
Once sound and lights are ready, it's up to you what music you'd like to hear. Sometimes we provide classical guitar for the ceremony or a jazz trio for social hour, otherwise our DJ spins your favorite tunes during social hour and dinner at no charge, and makes any announcements you want (grand entrance, kissing instructions, don't sit next to Uncle Larry, etc.). We'll even provide a wireless mic for you and your guests to make speeches and toasts.
After dinner and speeches, it's time for the first dance. Let us know your song, and we'll be sure to learn it for you. After the special dances it's time to party! The band plays hit after hit for up to four hours, with everything from Taylor Swift to Michael Jackson, Aretha Franklin, Bon Jovi, Lizzo, Stevie Wonder, Katy Perry, Garth Brooks, Guns N Roses, Prince, and literally hundreds more. We often perform 60 minute sets, then let the DJ take requests for 20. However, we're flexible with those times. Basically, whatever you want, you get.
After hours of dancing, and everyone has had the "Time Of Their Life" (yes, we play the Dirty Dancing theme), it's time to turn the lights on and head home. The band takes an hour to pack up, and we spin a few tunes through our speakers while everyone is hugging and raving about your wedding. Congrats! You're married and threw an epic dance party!
About
By combining our unbeatable band with our DJ, there's no song we can't tackle. We use the top musicians and entertainers from the Twin Cities, and always provide male lead vocals, female lead vocals, guitar, bass, drums, keyboards, and 3 backup vocals, along with our sound and lighting system (which you're welcome to use). Plus, we offer all sorts of extras:
Ceremony Musicians
Social Hour Sound Systems
Dinner Jazz Trio
Optional Horn Section
Did we mention we'll learn your first dance for free? We book up fast, so call, text, or email today for our availability and a no-pressure quote. Happy planning!

Additional Booking Notes
We require at least 1 standard 20amp household outlet/circuit.
We need 16' (wide) by 12' (deep) for space. If adding the horn section, 22x12. That said, we always make it work. Let us know your space, and we'll make it happen.
We bring all our own sound and lights, so unless the venue provides it, we'll plan on bringing everything.
