Can we hire a band for an anniversary party?

Yes. Most anniversaries are a seated dinner with a toast in it, so the jazz duo is the size to price first: upright bass and guitar playing the standards at 65 to 72 dBA at the nearest table. A singer with a guitar plays the anniversary where the couple's song has to be sung, and a trio or a quartet plays the 25th whose guests are still the people who danced at the wedding. It's one contract with one personal contact and an announcement microphone for the toasts.

Can the band play the couple's first-dance song?

Yes. The song from the wedding is learned for the night if it isn't already in the book, and the first learned song is included in every booking. Tell us the title with the date, and tell us whether it should be played or sung.

What are anniversary party entertainment ideas?

Their first-dance song played again while they dance in front of the people who watched the first time; a set built from the standards and the songs of the decade they met; a jazz duo under the dinner and silent for the toasts; a floor for the 25th; a Spanish guitarist under a long family dinner for the 50th; and live band karaoke for the wedding party, thirty years later.

How does a surprise anniversary party work with a musician?

The same way a proposal does. The musician is set up early and playing at conversation volume, so the place looks like it simply has live music that night, and the couple's song starts on a cue you and the musician agree beforehand, a nod from the host or a text from a friend at the next table. The proposals and surprise songs page covers the cue and the learned song in full.

Can you play a vow renewal and the dinner after it?

Yes, on one contract. A vow renewal in the garden books ceremony music, a guitarist or a duo for the walk in, the song the two of them chose and the walk out, and the same musicians play the dinner afterward at a volume the table talks across. The wedding ceremony page covers how ceremony music is placed.

What does live music for an anniversary party cost?

The pricing page sets out what live music costs in this market, and the cost guide has the Colorado figures for each kind of night. Send the date, the place and the couple's song and we'll come back with a configuration and a price for the night, with the vow renewal on the same quote if there is one.

How much space does the band need at a dinner?

A guitarist or a singer with a guitar takes 6 by 4 feet on one circuit, a duo 8 by 6 on one, a trio 12 by 8 on one and a quartet 14 by 10 on two, in the corner the table naturally faces. Load-in runs 45 minutes for a solo and an hour for a duo or a trio, and a restaurant's private dining space needs to know where the small case goes. Footprints for every size are on the technical page.

Anniversary party

Live music for your anniversary party.

An anniversary party is a dinner with one song in it that matters more than the rest of the night. The kids threw it, the friends from the wedding flew in, somebody stands up with a glass, and at some point the song the two of them danced to at their wedding gets played again with everyone watching. The music around that moment is a jazz duo or a singer with a guitar at a volume the table talks across, the song itself learned for the night, and a band on the floor afterward if the party is the kind that dances, on one contract with one personal contact in charge of the music.

An anniversary party is part of our private parties bookings. It comes with sound support that’s the right size for a house, a club or a private dining space, a certificate of insurance and a W-9 with the quote, and an announcement microphone for the toasts. The milestone birthday section on the private parties page covers the birthday version of the same night.

The duo, and a singer with the couple’s song.

Autumn Leaves on upright bass and guitar, which is the size an anniversary dinner books first, and Tejas Singh at a wedding cocktail hour, the singer who learns the couple’s song for the night.

The configurations

A duo for the dinner, a band if it dances.

Most anniversaries are a seated dinner with a toast in it, so the duo is the size to price first, and the rest follows from whether the night ends on a floor.

The jazz duo: Upright bass and guitar playing the standards at 65 to 72 dBA at the nearest table, in 8 by 6 feet on one circuit, for a dinner at home, at a club or in a restaurant’s private dining space. The jazz duo and trio page covers it, and the set is built from the years the two of them have been married rather than from a generic list.
A singer with a guitar: One voice and a guitar for the anniversary where the couple’s song has to be sung rather than played. Tejas Singh learns it for the night if it isn’t already in the book, and the first learned song is included in every booking. The same booking grows to a quartet if the party turns into a floor.
The Spanish guitarist for a long dinner: A guitar with real technique in it under a long table, for the 50th that is a dinner for the whole family and nothing else. Dirty Flamenco plays it as one guitarist or as a trio.
The band, for the 25th that dances: A trio in 12 by 8 feet on one circuit, or a quartet in 14 by 10 on two, for the anniversary where the couple’s friends are still the people who danced at the wedding. Tony Medina plays it up to a four piece, the same band plays the dinner first at conversation volume, and the DJ can carry the late end through the same sound system.

What live music costs in this market is on the pricing page, and the cost guide sets out the Colorado figures for each kind of night.

The party

The surprise, the dinner, and the vow renewal.

The surprise party the children throw: The couple thinks it’s dinner with the kids, the restaurant’s private dining space is full of everyone they’ve known for forty years, and the musician was already there playing at conversation volume, so the first thing they hear as the door opens is their song. The proposals and surprise songs page covers how a cue and a learned song work, and the same mechanics run a surprise anniversary.
The dinner at home or at the club: A long table, the toasts, the slideshow somebody made, and the duo playing the standards underneath all of it at a volume the table talks across, with the announcement microphone live for whoever stands up. The Denver private parties page covers the club dinners this city books and what a house has to provide.
The vow renewal: Some 25ths and 50ths renew the vows in the garden before the dinner, and that half-hour books ceremony music: a guitarist or a duo for the walk in, the song the two of them chose, and the walk out. The wedding ceremony page covers how the music is placed, and the dinner afterward goes on the same contract.

Ideas

Anniversary party entertainment ideas.

The ideas that fit a dinner with one important song in it, each with the page that covers it.

Their first-dance song, played again: The song from the wedding, learned for the night and played while the two of them dance in front of the people who watched the first time. The first learned song is included in every booking, and the proposals and surprise songs page covers how one song gets placed.
A set built from their years: The standards and the songs from the decade they met, threaded through the dinner so the evening sounds like their life rather than a playlist. The repertoire page is searchable by title.
A jazz duo under the toasts: Upright bass and guitar at a volume the table talks across, silent for the toasts and back in the moment the glass goes down. The jazz duo and trio page covers it.
A floor for the 25th: A trio or a quartet playing the songs the wedding party danced to, for the anniversary whose guests are still up for it. Tony Medina plays it up to a four piece.
A Spanish guitarist for the 50th: A guitar with real technique in it under a long family dinner. Dirty Flamenco plays it as one guitarist.
Live band karaoke for the wedding party: The band plays the hits and hands the microphone to the best man, thirty years later. The live band karaoke page covers the size it needs.
