This Bay Area nine piece live dance band with full horn section delivers the production sound of a touring act scaled into weddings, corporate galas, and milestone celebrations across San Francisco, Oakland, Marin, and the Wine Country. The lineup includes lead vocals plus harmonies, full rhythm section, and a complete three horn section: trumpet, saxophone, and trombone.
The horn section is the signature element of this tier. Trumpet, saxophone, and trombone build a sound layer that carries a ballroom without leaning on amplification and opens up arrangement options for Motown, soul, funk, and big-band cuts that thinner ensembles cannot land with the same energy.

Approach
The same horn section can pivot to muted, conversational textures during cocktail hour and dinner, then open up for the dance set. Wedding cocktail hour can begin with a stripped acoustic combo drawn from the larger band, then build into the full nine piece lineup. Corporate galas can open with a jazz-forward dinner set and pivot into a high-energy dance program after closing remarks.
Event Types Covered
- Mid-large weddings, including same-sex weddings and multi-event weekends
- Corporate annual galas, charity fundraisers, retail and product launch evenings
- Milestone anniversaries, sweet sixteen and quinceanera celebrations of significant scale
- Brand activations, award ceremonies, holiday parties
Sound, Stage, and Lighting
Sound design includes a complete front-of-house mix and monitor sends for every musician. For venues that prefer a more theatrical look, uplighting, color washes, and a soft front-edge stage wash can be added through the planning conversation. A DJ add-on is available for after-party energy past the live band's final set.

Travel within the Bay Area for standard drive times is included in the base figure. Distant routes into Wine Country, the coast, or the Sierra foothills are quoted on the planning call with travel and lodging if an overnight is needed.
