Private Events...
If you have something a little more exciting in mind for your event than your average old wedding band then the Baker Boys is for you! The Baker Boys not only play a real variety of styles, including all your favourite party tunes, but they play them like no other band in town.
The band offers a music plan for weddings that involves any, or all of 3 parts below:
1) Ceremony- during the wedding ceremony itself, a small group could play as a classical string quartet, or even a violin and harp duo harp, or both, e.g. before the ceremony, during the processional, and during the signing. The combination of Harp and Violin is an incredible sound, and is definitely a unique touch for the perfect wedding ceremony. Ask about a
free demo CD, to hear it for yourself.
2) Entry- as the newly-weds make their entrance, during hors d'ouevres, or the early stages of the reception, you might not want to rock it up too much, and a smaller selection of the musicians can play traditional jazz or chilled acoustic music in the background, to keep the room buzzing. This is a really important way to set the mood for the night, without over-doing it - perfect music for sipping cocktails!
3) Finally the Reception- of course after dinner and the formalities, if you are looking to get everyone straight onto the dance floor then you really need a serious band. This is where Baker Boys have earned their reputation - playing music for the dance floor!
In addition, a DJ service is provided during dinner to keep the party going during the moments when you don't want live music. Depending on your requirements, any or all of the elements can be removed and configured to your personal taste in music or wedding theme. This way you can be assured that you are getting the best quality music without the hassle, expense and disturbance of having to arrange for 3 different bands to set up and sound-check for the occasion. You also get a unique mix of styles throughout the day, from classical, old-school rock, celtic, gypsy, horas, swing, jazz , 80s pop, funk, classic rock and top 40 etc., all individually tailored to meet the tastes of you and your guests.
Pricing: from $1490
This is the interesting part - you'll be pleasantly surprised at how little the Baker Boys charge for a band of this quality. We do not charge extra for weddings - in fact, we believe this to be an unfair business practise. The Baker Boys calculate price depending on how many of musicians you would like, and how long you would like them to play for. We make all the arrangements, and can arrange a band to suit just about any budget - no matter how simple and intimate or grand an event you have planned. We can play with as little as 3 people, or as many as 14 musicians. Since we are self-managed, and can effectively do the job of many different bands over the course of a day, you will find the Baker Boys are much more price efficient than other bands.
The Baker Boys will also supply and run all of our own sound equipment, so we are very portable and can play in a variety of venues. We pride ourselces on providing exceptional value for money here, at the end of the day you get full professional quality service, without cutting corners, but without the high price-tag.
