Who We Are, What We Do
If you're looking for ceremony musicians, background music for your cocktail hour, or a live band for your reception - you've come to the right place. Panache makes choosing your live musicians the easiest and most fun part of your planning. Our musicians have been auditioned and trained from your local area and regularly perform together, from college students to symphony performers.
What sets us apart? We understand you. If we were to pick musicians for our own weddings, we would want video samples so that we know what to expect not only by how they perform but how they look and feel. Our video gallery allows you to preview what our clients have come to expect from a Panache performance. If available, you may even preview the exact musicians you can expect during your wedding day.

Choosing music and planning the details may seem intimidating, especially if you don't have a background in music. Our music selection guide with accompany mp3 samples makes comparing music as easy as point & click. Your consultant is also there for you through each step of the process so that music becomes the easiest and most fun part of your planning.

Our experience is probably our greatest asset. From performing at over 300 events a year for weddings, private parties, and promotional productions, we have the expertise and background to confidently handle the details of your once-in-a-lifetime moments.


“If music be the food of love, play on!”   Shakespeare


FAQs
(See complete FAQ's here)

What percentage of your business is dedicated to weddings?

As specialists, 75% of Panache's business is exclusive to wedding ceremonies, receptions, or both. Performing for a wedding is quite different from performing for an orchestra, being a teacher, or playing for other functions. Through specialization, we ensure experience and expertise.

How can I listen to you?

The best way to compare different music professionals, Panache's recordings can be found at the following link which grows as we record more songs and ensembles. These recordings are a great sample of the quality of performance we provide, but when experienced live at the wedding, it will be even better. To listen to us live, come visit us at one of our exhibitions OR we can arrange to meet you at a private performance for a fee.

How will you coordinate the timing at my wedding?

If you're wedding follows the traditional structure listed in our packages, our experienced performers can coordinate timing by watching your bridal party and/or taking cues from your wedding organizer. If you're wedding is more complex, we go over the details over the phone with you so that we know what to expect.

My wedding and reception are at two locations, how do you work out transportation?

Panache’s services are based on the time the performers commit to your request instead of actual performance time. The time for transportation between locations will use the standard rates unless there is considerable time between that allows performers to take a break and go home. The fee for these situations will be negotiated on a case basis.
