The band features cream of the crop of the Los Angeles music community and is comprised of passionate and professional musicians who love to play. We are dedicated to making your event a very special occasion that everyone will enjoy.

Our full orchestra is a 14-piece band with 3 singers, 3 horns, 2 violins, upright bass, drums, guitar, vibraphone, piano, and accordion. We also offer a 10-piece and 6-piece version of the band, and one of our jazz combos or classical string ensembles for your prelude, ceremony, and pre-reception music.

We would like to thank the clients, who hired us for weddings, corporate events, and other private parties, and graciously provided testimonials for our website.

In addition to these new raves, you can also view new photos some of them sent to us, throughout our website.

Testimonials are an important aspect of a reputable wedding and event band. It is essential that potential clients know that not only is a wedding band composed of capable and talented musicians, but that they are reliable. One of the best ways to convey this is through testimonials from past clients. The reason for this is that a band can write about themselves, but ultimately, potential clients looking to hire a wedding band also want to hear from past clients. This is based upon the concept of “social proof.” This is the idea that people tend to favor information from their peers. Essentially, the approval of a peer lends something that a great deal of text may not: additional credibility.

Perfect Music for Weddings provides testimonials on our website for another reason, as well. We are proud of the events our wedding bands have played at throughout Los Angeles, Southern California and across the United States, and are glad for the memories they have provided.

Our wedding bands look forward to performing at more weddings, corporate events, private parties and more in 2009. If you’re interested in reading our testimonials, click here.

Let’s discuss some essential tips for choosing wedding bands. First and most importantly, you will want to have your ceremony and reception sites booked before hiring your musicians. This is very important, because most sites have at least some specific guidelines detailing aspects such as sound, band size and so on. Some sites, such as churches and synagogues, will have a list of preferred musicians that they would like you to work with.

After you have secured your locations and determined their rules and specifications, you will want to book your band as early as possible. However, before you can do this, there are some important suggestions you should follow in order to make your search as easy as possible. These include:

• To find musicians who will fit both your taste and budget, interview at least three different musicians or go through a music management company.
• Try to attend the interviews as a couple, as both the bride and groom will have input.
• Bring a pen and notepad with you to all of your interviews to quickly write down any information or questions you may have throughout the interview.
• Most importantly, consider these aspects both before and after interviewing wedding musicians in order to make an objective and informed decision.

1. Budget: Do not “cut corners”. Quality should be of the utmost importance to you. However, that doesn’t mean you should go beyond your budget, either. Try to find a happy medium between your budget and the atmosphere you want.
2. Theme / Mood and Atmosphere: Consider the theme of your wedding as well as the mood and atmosphere you want to achieve.
3. Musical Taste: Keep your own musical tastes in mind; ultimately, it’s your wedding.
4. Location: As previously mentioned, the location of your ceremony and reception may have certain rules or restrictions. In addition, certain décor lends itself more easily to live music. For example, hardwood floors and minimalist decorations create wonderful acoustics, where carpeting and tile ceilings can absorb sound so more amplification may be required.
5. Guests: Live music is an excellent choice for your reception, as it entertains guests during particular events such as while you are being photographed. Your guests will take their cue from you; if you are enjoying the music, so will they.
6. Hiring experienced musicians helps you to plan a day full of festive, romantic music for your occasion. These musicians are faithful to schedules, always prepared, and most importantly able to help you choose the most fitting music for your event based on circumstances such as location and theme. Be ready to trust their judgment.
7. Securing Your Wedding Music: A deposit of one-third or one-half of the total cost should be paid in advance. Many times, the balance will be asked for two weeks in advance. Also keep in mind that patrons of the arts (in this event, you) are obliged to provide food and drink for your hired musicians. Musicians work exceptionally hard and need food, drink, and rest occasionally.
8. Using a wedding coordinator may help take the guesswork out of planning your own wedding. Hiring one is highly recommended.

Your day is one that both yourself and your guests will remember always. Following these tips will assure you peace of mind on your special day, and your guests will revel in your happiness!
