| Weddings / Receptions |
Lois and her groups provide music for wedding ceremonies, cocktail hours, dinners, and receptions with dancing. She meets with clients in advance to plan the music and logistical details for the event. Great care is taken to tailor the musical selections to fit the needs and tastes of each client, with special sensitivity to appropriate volume levels.
Two high-end portable digital pianos are available for sites where there is no piano. Grand piano rentals can also be arranged.
Classical and/or contemporary music is often chosen for the ceremony, followed by upbeat background music - jazz, Latin and standards - for the cocktail reception. Dinner music is usually more low-key so that guests may converse easily, with the energy level increasing after dinner as guests mingle and dance.
The dance band ranges in size from 5 to 8 musicians, and specializes in swing, classic rock, disco, Motown, and reggae.
For a small elegant gathering, either solo piano or a piano-string bass duo works well. Trios, quartets, quintets, and full bands are appropriate for larger events.
The classical quartet is an elegant combination of piano, string bass, violin, and flute. Trumpet players and ceremony vocalists are also available. The jazz quartet is usually piano, bass, percussion, and sax/flute/clarinet, although the personnel can vary. The dance band includes a guitarist/male vocalist and often a female vocalist.
You can listen to audio samples in the Sample Play List section of this web site. Feel free to call Lois at 401.849.3470 or email music@loisvjazz.com. Price quotes are only given over the phone. During peak times, there is a two-hour minimum.
