Everything from Motown to Top 40, 80s throwbacks to indie folk—and just about everything in between. We customize your playlist to match your vibe, your people, and your vision.
Can we give you a must-play and do-not-play list?
Yes please! We encourage it. Your music tastes shape the night, and we want every moment to sound like you.

💡 EQUIPMENT & LIGHTING
Is lighting included?
Yes. Every package includes dance floor lighting. Want uplights, a custom monogram, or full-room ambiance? We’ve got upgrades for that.
Do you bring backup equipment?
Always. From speakers to cables, we come prepared with professional, road-tested gear—and a full backup plan.
Do you have liability insurance?
Yes. Most venues require it, and we carry full liability coverage.
🕒 TIMING & LOGISTICS
What time will you arrive?
Usually 2–3 hours before your guests do. We like to be set, sound-checked, and ready with time to spare.
Does your rate include setup and teardown?
It sure does. You’ll never be charged extra for that—we handle all of it behind the scenes so you don’t have to think about it.
How long do you play for?
Most wedding packages include up to 6 hours of performance time. Need more? We offer flexible add-on hours too.
🔄 BONUS QUESTIONS
Do you take breaks?
We keep the music going throughout your night, from dinner to the dance floor.
Do you take requests from guests?
Yes, as long as they align with your vibe and don’t show up on your do-not-play list.
What if something unexpected happens (weather, tech issue, etc.)?
We’re planners and problem-solvers. Whether it’s a sudden rainstorm or a power hiccup, we’ve been through it all and know how to pivot without missing a beat.
