Beautiful ballads and soulful instrumentals will greet you and your guests as you arrive, serenade you while you sip champagne or cocktails or provide sophisticated background music while dining.

As your party 'heats up', enjoy Silicon Vibe's upbeat vocals and powerful horn section as you and your guests dance the night away! Carlos Almeida, Leader and Drummer for the Band, is an experienced musician seasoned by years of performing locally and abroad.

'Silicon Vibe will deliver exceptional music for your event. In addition, we are well organized and committed to working with you to ensure your guests have a wonderful time.'

If you need something smaller, we also scale down to a smaller 7 Piece ensemble known as "Hip Affair"

We are certified by "Here Comes The Guide" as part of Silicon Valley Music. This meant we passed a rigorous certification process requiring 30-40 references, including wedding industry professionals and at least 10 recent brides. They contacted each reference and got their honest feedback. Only if the company gets a rave review do they accept them as a client.

Feedback

  • Absolutely Amazing! Silicon Vibe delivered the most exciting, musically brilliant, and gracious of evenings. The job of booking "the band" fell into my lap for my friend's 50th. I am a musician myself and I was overly particular. It wasn't just the evening of fantastic big band entertainment, Carlo Almeida returned every email and phone call in the most prompt and professional manner. Special requests were granted and he even helped construct the evening's order, giving insightful suggestions. He was a joy to work with. The band, the singers, the music, the energy were electrifying. If you are looking to hire a band, be the hero of the party and book them. -- John A K, Saint Helena, CA, 8/21/2010
  • Carlos, Thank you so much for playing at our wedding! The band was spectacular! Everyone had a fantastic time--people are still calling to tell us how wonderful the music was; I'm sure we will continue to get compliments on the band for some time. You did an excellent job of reading the crowd and playing a wide variety of music throughout the night. Please relay our very big thanks to all the other members. All the Best! -- Los J, San Jose, CA, 8/9/2009
