Good Vibrations

Los Angeles Wedding & Corporate Event Band

What are the advantages of using a live band?

Live music provides energy and excitement with a visual impact that simply cannot be duplicated with recorded music. Good Vibrations creates a mood that gets your guests dancing and makes the party one to remember!

How many musicians are in your band?

The band consists of between four and six musicians, depending on your needs and budget. Depending on specific configuration, the instrumentation includes keyboard/bass, guitar, drums, saxophone/clarinet, trumpet, and male/female vocals.

What style of music do you play?

Good Vibrations plays all of the most popular styles of music. We can play music from all generations and styles including jazz, swing, classic rock, Motown, disco, pop, and all popular ballroom dance styles.

Do you provide your own sound system?

We provide everything required to support our performance, including a high quality professional sound system at no additional charge.

What are your space and electrical power requirements?

We ask our clients to allow floor space of 35 square feet per musician and a minimum depth of ten feet. Setup locations other than ground level must be accessible via elevator or ramp. For electrical power we require a single dedicated standard 120V power source within 20 feet of the band's setup location. Click here for band layout examples.

Can you play at outdoor locations?

Weather permitting, we can play at outdoor locations. Shading from the sun must be provided for the musicians and a hard flat (non-grass/dirt) level surface is required to support the musical equipment. We require a single dedicated standard 120V electrical power source within 20 feet of the band's setup location.

How can I hear your band?

Please go to our Music Samples plage to hear a demo of the band. Out of respect for other clients’ private parties, we do not invite prospective clients to view live performances. We trust you to make an informed choice about the band after hearing our demo, reading our literature, contacting previous clients for references, and meeting with us.

Can you provide a Master of Ceremonies?

For most weddings we act as the Master of Ceremonies for announcements, introductions, special dances, cake cutting, bridal bouquet toss, and all other reception events. Our service includes full pre-wedding coordination to determine music selection, announcements, event timetable, and all other details for your special day.

Can you provide music for my wedding ceremony?

Band musicians can also play for your ceremony, or we can provide you with a harpist or classical ensemble.

How do you dress for performances?

The men are dressed in tuxedos and our lady vocalist wears formal evening attire for formal events such as weddings. For corporate and other events, business attire is worn unless otherwise specified by the client.

Do you take breaks?

The band takes one 15 minute break each hour. If desired, recorded music can be played during these break periods to provide continuous music for your event.

Can you provide references?

Good Vibrations has been in business since 1976 and has performed for countless weddings, corporate, and other special events. References of clients are always available upon request.

How much do you charge?

Our competitive fees are based upon several factors including the number of musicians, quantity of hours, and location. Please contact us for a free quotation.

What are your payment terms?

An initial deposit representing 50% of the contract value is required with the contract to reserve the band. The balance is due two weeks prior to your event. Acceptable forms of payment are check or cash.

What are your meal and gratuity requirements?

Although optional, meals are nearly always provided for band musicians since performers spend 8 - 10 hours including travel, setup/teardown, and playing times. Vendor meals are generally available at a reduced cost. Gratuities are optional and not included in our fees. Tipping is generally $20 - $25 per musician.

How far will you travel?

Although based in Los Angeles, the band also performs in the Southern California counties of Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, San Diego, Santa Barbara, and Ventura.
