Our ensembles are totally customizable. Our most popular band sizes are typically between Six (6) to fourteen (14) people – Vocalists, Bass, Drums, Guitars, Keyboards, Horn Sections. We can easily add or subtract members to any ensemble based off musical preferences and overall budget. String and jazz ensembles can be added to any sized event.
Our typical quote is for a 5-hour event. This includes a 1 x 30-minute “mini” set and 2 x 60-90 minutes “dance sets”. Please note that we require an additional 3-4 hours window prior to the start of the event for load-in, sound check and general set-up needs (time depending on size and scope of the event). There will be speeches and other formalities, but you will find this is the perfect amount of time to have the band playing. Please know that we are always flexible to your needs. The timeline outlined above is our recommendation, but anything can be customized to your plan!
Yes, but we do require the stage/ performance area to be completely covered and shaded. Additionally, we require a flat, hard, dry surface to play on. Also, heat can damage instruments. Please keep all these details in mind when placing your band and have a backup plan- just in case!
We don’t require a stage to perform, but it is highly recommended! The stage should be approximately 8×12 feet for a 3-4-piece band, 12×16 for a 5-8-piece band, and 12×24 for a 9-14-piece band. Ask our logistics coordinator if you still have additional questions.
Yes! We direct the musical performances for every aspect of your wedding. Would you like classical music for your ceremony? A jazz set for your cocktail hour? You will speak to your assigned Musical Director about all of the specific details and special requests so we can achieve your vision!
Our Musical Directors (MD) work directly with the clients to learn about their unique tastes in music and coordinate all the details with the band. Our MDs combine your personal preferences with their years of performance experience, to deliver an unforgettable night of music for you and your guests. Your MD will guide you step-by-step through the entire musical curation process for the ceremony, cocktail hour and reception.
Absolutely! Our dynamic performers will also act as the MCs for the entire event. Your guests will never miss an announcement, speech or toast. Our MCs always keep the room energy peaked and your audiences fully engaged.
Our services include premium sound and lighting design for your wedding. You can expect state of the art audio equipment and our experienced technicians on-site for your entire event. Our sound engineers and lighting directors have decades of experience and have worked in all types of environments. We will provide all the microphones, speakers and all other sound amplification needed for your event.
DJ service between sets is always free–we want to make sure the room is still buzzing when the band isn’t playing. If you like, you can bring your own iPod for these breaks with a specific playlist, or, if you prefer, just leave it up to us. We always bring an iPod with a selection of appropriate background music and, during dinner, the room is typically too noisy for the band to be playing, anyway–we want your guests to be able to enjoy their conversations!
Absolutely! All special requests must be provided to the musical director no later than 30 days prior to your event. That will ensure that our band has adequate time to learn and rehearse your songs.
You can request different styles in our online planning system depending on the formality of your event.
Great Family Artists carries full liability insurance. We will provide a copy of our COI (Certificate of Insurance) to your venue upon execution of the performance agreement if requested.
Yes! we provide music for the entire event- ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception!
