This six-hour wedding entertainment package layers DJ, MC, and live cello performance with extended dance lighting and full venue uplighting for a music-forward celebration that doubles as a one-of-a-kind show. Built around a Berklee-trained cellist, beatboxer, and DJ with twenty years of stage experience, the upgraded tier extends both the live music presence and the lighting design beyond the entry-level.
What is included
Six hours of DJ and MC services, a main reception sound system, a separate ceremony sound system with wireless lapel and handheld microphones, intelligent dance lighting (8 lights), 16 venue uplights, up to three one-hour planning meetings, and travel up to four hours roundtrip across California.
Live cello, beatbox, and DJ in one show
The same musical hybrid as the entry tier, with more of it. Classical cello carries the processional and recessional, loop pedal and beatbox layer in for cocktail hour, and the reception turns into a dance-floor set that blends live cello textures with full DJ programming. Many couples use the cello segment for the ceremony and a feature moment during dinner, then unleash the dance set after toasts.
Six hours of DJ and MC services
Coverage spans ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, parent dances, cake cutting, the open dance floor, and late-night sing-alongs. The MC announces every milestone, partners with your planner, and keeps the timeline tight so the night flows without awkward silences.
Main reception sound system
A professional reception sound system is included, balanced for both spoken word and dance volume. Separate microphone and music channels keep toasts crisp while the dance set cranks. Sound is calibrated to the room, whether indoor ballroom, garden tent, vineyard, or waterfront venue.
Ceremony sound system with wireless lapel and handheld mic
A dedicated ceremony rig is included with a wireless lapel microphone for the officiant, a wireless handheld for vows or readings, and music playback for processional, ceremony interludes, and recessional. The system is sized for the ceremony space, indoor or outdoor.
Intelligent dance lighting (8 lights)
Eight programmable intelligent lights wash the dance floor with synchronized color and movement, cued to the music for a club-quality effect that elevates the room from polite to packed. Lighting is more dynamic and layered than the entry tier and creates a defined dance space inside any venue.
16 venue uplights
Sixteen uplights wash walls, columns, and architectural features in your color palette. Color is selected during the planning consultations and can shift across the night, from amber tones during dinner to vibrant sweeps when the dance set kicks in. The denser uplight count fills bigger rooms and outdoor spaces with even saturation.
Up to three one-hour planning meetings
Planning is collaborative and unlimited within three included one-hour meetings. Walk through music preferences, must-play list, do-not-play notes, parent dances, lighting palette, ceremony cues, custom song requests, and run-of-show timing. The cellist can learn a custom processional, recessional, or first-dance arrangement with notice.
Travel up to four hours roundtrip
Travel is included for venues within a four-hour roundtrip drive, covering the entire San Francisco Bay Area, Wine Country, Central Coast, Lake Tahoe, the Sierra Foothills, and beyond. Long-distance weddings outside that radius can be quoted with travel and overnight accommodations.
Perfect for
Couples who want a more music-forward celebration than the entry tier, with bigger lighting and more planning bandwidth. Especially popular for outdoor ceremonies followed by indoor receptions, full-day weddings with cocktail hour as a feature moment, and couples who want the dance floor lit up like a club once dinner wraps.
Frequently asked questions
How is this different from the entry tier? More dance lighting (8 vs 4 fixtures), double the venue uplights (16 vs 8), and an extra planning meeting. The live cello presence and DJ coverage are at the same six-hour duration.
Can the cellist learn a custom song for our processional? Yes. With notice during the planning meetings, custom processional, recessional, or first-dance arrangements can be prepared.
Are the dance lights and uplights battery powered? Both are AC powered and wired to venue power. Battery options can be discussed for venues with limited outlets.
Do you bring backup gear? Yes. Redundant cabling, spare microphones, and backup playback are part of every event setup.
Why couples book this package
One artist, a cohesive musical thread from ceremony to last dance, and lighting designed to transform any venue. Backed by twenty years of stage experience and a five-star track record, this tier is the most-booked balance of show, sound, and lighting for couples who treat their wedding entertainment as the centerpiece, not an afterthought.
