Description

The 5-PC is the flagship: a Bay Area five-piece live band for hire fused with an in-demand wedding DJ for the biggest, most unforgettable dance party in the lineup. A versatile DJ anchors the night while four live instrumentalists — saxophone, horns, drums, percussion, and more — deliver up to a full four-hour live dance set.

With four live players on top of a continuous DJ foundation, the 5-PC is as close to a headline concert as a private event gets. Expect a powerhouse horn section, driving live percussion, and extended solo moments — up to four hours of live dance music — all woven seamlessly so the energy never dips between songs. It is an unmistakable live band, supercharged by the flexibility of a flawless wedding dj.

The full-scale celebration

This is the choice for grand weddings, major galas, large corporate parties, and landmark milestone celebrations where the entertainment is the headline. The 5-PC can open as an elegant jazz band through cocktails and dinner, then explode into a full dance band experience that fills the floor and keeps it packed across funk, soul and Motown, Top 40 and pop, R&B and hip-hop, EDM, disco, Latin, country, jazz, and global sounds.

Genre-fluid by design

The collective moves freely from soul and Motown to funk, Top 40, hip-hop, EDM, disco, Latin, country, and global sounds, arranging live around your must-play and do-not-play lists. The DJ keeps every transition tight while the band reinterprets favorites in the moment, so the night feels alive, personal, and impossible to look away from — a live band for hire that genuinely earns the spotlight.

Everything handled, start to finish

The 5-PC includes up to an eight-hour event time frame with up to a four-hour live dance set, professional MC services, a wireless microphone for toasts, and a properly scaled sound system for one event area of up to 150 guests. Event liability insurance and equipment insurance are included. Built on a perfect five-star reputation across well over a hundred Bay Area weddings and private events, the 5-PC is the definitive way to give your guests a dance party they will talk about for years.

Planning made easy

Booking the flagship 5-PC opens with an in-depth planning session to design a headline show around your venue, your guest count, and your vision. You share your must-play and do-not-play lists along with any cultural or family favorites — the collective performs across many styles and languages, including Arabic-language selections — and the team builds a custom flow from cocktail hour through the final song. Because the DJ anchors every set, special requests can be honored on the fly without ever breaking the momentum on the floor.

From cocktail hour to the last dance

The 5-PC is designed to carry the whole celebration. During cocktail hour and dinner, a DJ and four live instrumentalists create a warm, upscale atmosphere with an effortless live jazz feel while the DJ keeps the volume conversational and the mood relaxed. As the evening turns to dancing, the same team flips the energy, blending live solos with the tracks your crowd loves so the floor fills early and stays packed to the very last song.

One team, one seamless show

Because the DJ and the musicians rehearse and perform as a single coordinated unit, there are no awkward handoffs, no competing setups, and no silence between songs. You get the spectacle of live performance and the precision of a professional DJ in one package — fully insured, professionally managed from load-in to load-out, and tailored end to end to your event so nothing is left to chance.
