Cocktail Music Recommendations

Hi,

I posted about this a few months back, but figured I'd try again. Can anyone recommend live music for our cocktail hour? The wedding is located in North NJ. Not looking to spend a crazy amount, but looking for at least 2 musicians. Open to students, etc.

Thanks!

  • We used Silver Pro Entertainment.  They are the company behind the band the Rythym Shop.  We were looking for a cocktail hour band with a caribbean feel (steel drums, etc.) and they were great.  We had 4 musicians but they can do any type of ensemble.

  • I think I may have replied to your other post but I'll reply again!

    We used Penn Strings.  They are based out of PA but they do all of NJ.  We used them for our ceremony and cocktail hour and people loved them!

  • I would check with your dj or band, our DJ company, Gemini, had the option for several live musicians for ceremony or cocktail hour and since we were already booking them for their DJ services, we got a good deal on the pianist for our cocktail hour.
