Description

This six-hour wedding package combines a live acoustic singer-guitarist for cocktail hour or ceremony with a full DJ and MC set for the reception, giving your celebration a one-of-a-kind soundtrack across the entire day. Live music for the meaningful moments, club-quality dance mixes for the night.

What is included

Six hours of DJ and MC services, a live guitar and vocal performance for cocktail hour and/or ceremony, wireless microphones for ceremony and toasts, customized playlist and song choices, disco-effects dancefloor lighting, up to three sound systems for three spaces, full setup and breakdown, and unlimited consultations during planning.

Live guitar and vocal cocktail hour or ceremony

The performance brings warmth and intimacy to the parts of the day that deserve a human voice. Songs are pulled from a deep repertoire spanning singer-songwriter classics, soul standards, indie favorites, and acoustic versions of contemporary hits, all curated with you during planning. Whether for a string of processional songs, a unity ceremony moment, or an entire cocktail hour, the live set creates a memorable musical signature.

Six hours of DJ and MC services

The DJ takes over for dinner, dancing, and every reception milestone. Coverage includes the grand entrance, first dance, parent dances, dinner background music, cake cutting, the open dance floor, and late-night sing-alongs. The MC announces every transition with the right tone and partners with your planner to keep the timeline tight.

Up to three sound systems for three spaces

Bay Area weddings often span multiple rooms, lawns, or patios. This package includes up to three coordinated sound systems so guests hear crisp, balanced audio whether they are at the ceremony, mingling at cocktail hour, or dancing inside. Levels are tuned for each space and crossfaded as guests move through the day.

Disco-effects dancefloor lighting

Professional dancefloor lighting transforms reception spaces into club-quality dance environments once dinner wraps. Color sweeps, slow chases, and dynamic effects are programmed to your aesthetic, with options ranging from soft ambient washes during dinner to high-energy color cycles for the dance set.

Customized playlist and song choices

You collaborate on a shared playlist that reflects your story, your guests, and the energy you want at every milestone. Must-play tracks, do-not-play notes, parent-dance picks, and surprise requests are all captured during planning. The DJ blends those choices with crowd-tested classics and reads the room in real time.

Wireless microphones for ceremony and toasts

Two professional wireless microphones are included for the ceremony, vow exchanges, officiant amplification, and reception toasts. Mics are line-checked before guests arrive and handed off discreetly so the focus stays on the speaker.

Coordination, setup, and breakdown

Planning is collaborative and unlimited, with multiple calls or video chats and direct access to your performer for last-minute changes. Load-in begins at least 90 minutes before guest arrival, with sound check, lighting calibration, and a final timing review with your coordinator. Breakdown is fast and complete so your venue closes on schedule.

Perfect for

Couples who want a more curated, music-forward wedding experience hosting 50 to 300 guests. Especially popular for outdoor ceremonies with acoustic processionals, intimate vow exchanges, brunch weddings, and any celebration where live music for cocktail hour is a priority alongside a full reception DJ set.

Frequently asked questions

Can the live performance happen during ceremony instead of cocktail hour? Yes. The live guitar and vocal segment can cover the processional, ceremony interludes, and recessional. The placement is decided together during planning.

What styles can the live singer cover? Repertoire spans soul, indie, classic rock, singer-songwriter, modern hits in acoustic arrangements, and more. Specific song requests are workshopped before the day.

Are uplights or photobooths included? Dancefloor lighting is included. Architectural uplighting, custom monograms, and photobooths are available as add-ons priced separately.

How long is the live set? The live segment typically runs 45 to 60 minutes within the six-hour total. Longer live coverage can be added as an upgrade if needed.

Will the same person sing and DJ? The live set and DJ duties may be handled by the same artist or by a guitarist-and-DJ team, depending on the package configuration confirmed during planning.

Why couples book this package

Live music carries the meaningful moments while a club-trained DJ powers the dance floor. The combination feels personal during the ceremony and cocktail hour, then turns the room into a packed dance party for the rest of the night. Both halves are dialed in by award-winning Bay Area performers with hundreds of weddings of experience.
