Gerard Carelli Entertainment

Elegant & exciting, fun & frenzied, Gerard Carelli Entertainment has everything from heavenly strings & brass for ceremony, to dazzling horns & vocalists for dancing.

We are a full service entertainment agency, self contained and fully insured. We accept all major credit cards and can work with you on a payment plan.

Each of our groups has their own appeal but all play a variety of styles including Classical, Swing, Big Band, Ballroom, Jazz, Motown, Rhythm & Blues. Here are just two of our many options:

JDB has a complete repertoire of soul and roots rock music. Whether covering Curtis Mayfield or The Doobie Brothers, Bill Withers or Van Morrison, they "exude a sonic energy that is highly contagious in a live setting."

The "Black Tie" GERARD CARELLI ORCHESTRA is smooth & sophisticated complete with Big Band stands & lights. It specializes in ballroom, swing and standards by Sinatra, Buble & Ray Charles but can seamlessly transition into Motown and Rhythm & Blues when the party calls for it.

Gerard Carelli Entertainment is guaranteed to get everyone up and dancing, even perennial wallflowers, by pacing the evening, watching the volume and mixing in whatever makes the party come alive, but never the "Chicken Dance". Staging & lighting packages are available as are DJ/band combos for a club-like atmosphere.

• Hire these guys! You won't be sorry. They whole group was just perfect. Easy to work with, anticipated the crowd perfectly, and the compliments from our guests afterwards just kept coming! We're so glad we decided to go with a live band and even happier we chose the Gerard Carelli Orchestra. Their music wasn't just a reason to dance, but became part of the atmosphere of the whole evening. Truly Fantastic! -- Kerry M, New Milford, CT, 6/27/2009
• Absolutely fabulous. Gerard made the wedding enjoyable, lovely and entertaining and made everyone feel at ease. Would recommend them again in a heartbeat!!! Regards, Sue & Markus Yo -- Markus Y, Pasadena, MD, 4/17/2009
• My experience in booking the gig with Gerard personally was wonderful. He was professional and took the time to discuss with me my needs and wants for the party and also offered wonderful suggestions to make the most of the event within my budget. The band Gerard sent was wonderful - they were extremely professional. They were on time, organized and were extremely courteous with all the last minute demands my guests placed on them - which were many. I would definitely work with Gerard and Gigmasters again and certainly would recommend Lee and his band dates to anyone looking to book a party band. -- Marybeth N, Farmingdale, NY, 6/11/2011
• Gerard and his orchestra were on time, played wonderfully and helped make our wedding reception a very special event. I would recommend them highly. First class. -- Tony S, Harrison, NY, 6/20/2009
