NY Wedding Band FAQs
What is the booking process like?
After we receive your e-mail inquiry, we’ll figure out what you have in mind and would like in terms of music for your wedding. Then we schedule a phone consultation to discuss and finalize the details. I will follow up with a contract to verify that everything is laid out and covered correctly. When approved we’ll both sign the contract. We’ll touch base a few weeks before the big day. Then we’ll arrive at your wedding and play our hearts out for you.
How much does a NY wedding band cost?
Is it a consistent band or do you have different musicians?
We pride ourselves on having an incredible line up that remains consistent and extremely high caliber. Sometimes unforeseen circumstances may happen and a musician may be unable to perform like with any band. Fortunately, we’ve kept those to a minimum and when it happens we have a talented rolodex of musicians we’ve worked with.

What NY Newlyweds are Saying
My wife & I can’t recommend Blue Avenue Groove highly enough! From the time that we booked them, Will and the rest of the band were responsive, personable and flexible with our requests. Not to mention their incredible talent as musicians!!! Seriously, our wedding would not have been the same without them. From funk, to r & b, to the instrumental jazz standards they played during cocktail hour, they can do it all. We had many wedding guests both during and after the reception, tell us that they are by far the best wedding band they’d ever heard, and I wholeheartedly agree. If you want to have all of your wedding guests up out of their seats dancing to the funkiest band in all the land, then hire these guys! Thank you to Will and the rest of the group for being incredibly talented and kind souls, and for providing us and our guests truly unforgettable music on our big day.
have hired this band for several events and have been thrilled with their performances. The band’s musical talents are among the best that I have seen in weddings that I have attended from New York City to Palm Beach. Their repertoire is broad, from jazz to Motown. The singer is electric and engages the crowd so that everyone is on their feet and having fun in no time.
