For Denver weddings and large corporate events, we recommend booking 3–6 months in advance to ensure availability of your preferred artists. For smaller private events, 4–8 weeks is typically sufficient.

Peak seasons — summer weekends (June–August), holiday season (November–January), and Valentine's weekend — fill up fast. The sooner you reach out, the more options you'll have.

Pricing varies based on artist, band size, number of sets, travel requirements, and event type. Solo performers and smaller acts start at a lower price point, while full bands with 6–12 pieces for 3+ hours of reception entertainment are priced accordingly.

This varies by artist. Some of our bands include sound equipment and a sound engineer in their packages, while others work with your venue's AV setup or require you to provide a PA system. We'll clearly outline technical requirements for your chosen artist when you book, so there are no surprises on event day.

Yes! Colorado's mountain venues — from Vail to Telluride to Breckenridge — are some of the most spectacular wedding destinations in the country. We have experience booking entertainment for mountain events and can recommend artists with the flexibility and professionalism to thrive in those settings. Travel logistics and accommodations are factored into mountain bookings.

The right entertainment depends on your vibe. For cocktail hour, jazz ensembles set a sophisticated, relaxed tone. For the reception, high-energy bands like Little Moses Jones or Guerrilla Fanfare get every guest on the dance floor. Many couples combine a smaller acoustic act for cocktail hour with a full band for the reception. Tell us your vision and we'll recommend the perfect combination.

Corporate events benefit from entertainment that's both impressive and professional. For galas and award ceremonies, jazz acts like Tony Exum Jr create elegant ambiance. For company parties and holiday events, high-energy bands like Little Moses Jones or Guerrilla Fanfare bring incredible energy. Tell us your goals and we'll find the perfect match.

Absolutely. Private celebrations — quinceañeras, milestone birthdays, anniversary parties, private galas — are some of our most rewarding bookings. We work with the host to understand the audience, the vibe, and the occasion, then match the perfect artist to make it an unforgettable night.
