How I learned about AD HOC:

Top 10 Reasons this is the"Best Wedding Band Ever"!

1) We will play any and every request you have…given sufficient advance notice, we will play them all. That’s right, all of them! In addition to disco, classical, jazz, Motown, rock, country, 80s, oldies and swing, we’ve played Swedish folk songs, songs from Broadway musicals, bluegrass, salsa, punk and Widespread Panic... you name it, we can play it!

2) We play the widest variety of music… lovely, quiet dinner music at the appropriate volume for dinner; wedding dance songs of every sort, often played as medleys to keep everybody dancing!

3) The band can split in half and play 2 places at once... let’s say that for cocktails the bar is in the ballroom but guests are also able to walk out on the lawn. We might put the keyboardist and sax player inside; the singer, guitarist, bass player and drummer outside... for nice, ambient music in both places.

4) We schedule breaks when appropriate... we schedule breaks so that the band is only breaking when it’s appropriate. For example, we might play dinner straight through without a break then take a break during toasts. We want to make sure you get your money’s worth! For example, we weren’t schedule to start playing at one wedding until after dinner but dinner ran an hour and a half late... so we played the remaining 2 and a half hours without a break. We’ll also play CDs for you during breaks.

5) We don’t have long breaks in between songs... it’s not as crucial during dinner, but during the dance portion of the evening, you don’t want big breaks in the music as the band figures out what to play next. We string songs together into medleys so we don’t kill the dance groove - we’ll play 7 songs in a medley that lasts a half hour, then stop for 10 seconds to get ready for the next one.

6) We can play your ceremony... with musicians from the band. Choose from solo piano, classical guitar, piano and flute, guitar and flute, or add the singer on Ave Maria or The Wedding Song.

7) We can Emcee your reception... we know how to Emcee a reception with dignity and class, yet keep people involved and having fun at the same time.

8) We know weddings... as musicians for hire, we play a lot of weddings so we know what can go wrong and make sure it doesn’t. One wedding planner told us afterwards, “The toasts were planned to go for a half an hour and after 10 minutes they were done. I was freaking out because I had told the band to take a break... I looked around and they were standing right behind me - whew!”

9) We can customize our sound for you with other instruments... add a violin for country music, a 3-piece horn section for swing, a conga player for salsa. We have lots of tried and true musicians who play with us and are ready to go!

10) Let us provide varied music entertainment for your entire wedding... for a very reasonable price, you can have a classical duo or trio for your ceremony music, the band split into two combos inside and outside for cocktails, nice quiet dinner music and a rockin’ dance party with the whole band, playing until the wee hours.
