AMS Wedding Musicians

How about a vintage jazz orchestra? Blue grass band? Or the dopest 80’s dance band? Italian accordians? Yup. AMS can recommend live performances to fit your style for pre-ceremony, ceremony, cocktail, and dinner music.

We’ll Handle the Talent

Leave the live wedding music logistics to AMS. We’ll coordinate contracts, arrival, setup, payment and all that stuff between the venue and musicians. Just sit back and enjoy the melodies. All the musicians we work with are bonded and insured to perform on venue properties.

They are our flagship group that can play a great choice of contemporary pop music but can also play classical, baroque, swing, jazz, and pop favorites as well as Jewish, Italian, and continental repertoire for weddings or background music at corporate and private events. Duos & Trios are best for events up to 125 guests but can be amplified for slightly larger groups.

Praise

We worked with Joe from AMS and had an overall amazing experience. Going into it, we were skeptical about DJs based on our experiences at other weddings. However, AMS and Joe in particular exceeded all of our expectations and kept the party rocking all night long. We had a really nice phone conversation with Joe a week before the wedding to go over our timeline and all of our music selections, which were extremely diverse. On the wedding day, Joe found opportune moments to communicate with us and make announcements. He mixed all of our selections beautifully and provided for an epic dance party.
