Reception Music
A comprehensive guide for wedding planning

Why have music for a wedding?
 This may seem like an obvious (if not rhetorical) question to
some. While a quiet wedding in Judge’s chambers may not have
music, most weddings do incorporate music for the ceremony,
cocktail hour, and reception. In fact, most couples can’t imagine
their wedding without music
 The more frequent (and germane) question is: In selecting
music, what are we going for?
 A wedding may be an expression of the couple’s individual
tastes; or it may be an anticipation of the expectation and tastes
of important guests.
 Cost is often a factor: how much do we want (or need) to spend?

Top Choice
 The safest choice is often an experienced wedding band.
 New York’s Best flagship band, Amaretto (based in Washington
DC) has performed at thousands of weddings, and played for the
last three inaugurations. David Fletcher (the bass player, in this
photo of Amaretto), is the owner of New York’s Best Musicians.

There are many great options for wedding music
 Anything with the word “wedding” in front of it seems to increase
the price exponentially. For example, a “wedding” dress vs. a
formal white dress; a “wedding” cake vs. (the same big) cake.
 Our mission is to provide wedding services at “non-wedding”
prices.

There are a wide range of bands for a wedding reception
besides traditional wedding or society bands
 Check out the following band. They don’t call
themselves a wedding band, but they are wedding
appropriate – and lots of fun at a wedding reception.
This band can be booked for $2,500 – a unheard of
price for a wedding band, which typically runs in the
$5,000 – 10,000 range (if not more)

More choices
 Here some great options choices to consider. On the far left, The Hit
Girls a rocking all-girl band; in the middle, Miss Babs and the Kicking
Boogie Band, a contemporary-feel country band; and on the far
right, Curbside Manner, a great, increasingly popular young band. All of
these bands are under $3,000.
The are dozens of great choices available from New York’s Best Musicians

Designing Wedding Music
 One of the reasons to use an experienced agency run and
staffed by individuals with bona fide musical credentials is
that they can work with you and your planner in selecting
music which is in keeping with your concepts, tastes and the
theme of your wedding
 New York’s Best has many years experience in working with
event designers and wedding planners on a broad range of
weddings and events
 New York’s Best’s owner David Fletcher has years of
experience as a musician, music educator, music director
and co-composer, and brings this experience to the table in
working with your planner to design the music for your event

A Current Big Trend
 The Great Gatsby is influencing the design of many weddings and events right now.
Here are just a few bands to consider for this theme.

What about different styles
 Most weddings and events are enhanced by incorporating a blend
or combination of musical styles. An important factor is whether
the variety you want can be accomplished in one group. To do so
is often beneficial and can save costs.
 A little known fact: most bands, even smaller ones, will bring a
sound system for tracks to play during breaks. This adds variety.
In essence, most bands can act as a d.j. for part of the
time, without adding any cost whatsoever
 There is no substitute for live music, but an event can benefit from
a combination of both live and recorded. This is the best of both
worlds.
