About Vendor 

Learn more about this vendor for your event.

We play a variety of musical styles ranging from Dixieland, big band swing, Latin, country, to light rock & roll. We can even play light classical music before, during, or after the wedding ceremony. The band can vary in size from two to ten pieces, depending on your budget. We also have a fantastic Sinatra style entertainer available who really connects with the audience; he does Sinatra, Dean Martin, Bobby Darin, Tony Bennett, Nat King Cole, Louie Prima, Michael Buble, etc. He wanders among the people with a cordless mic, gets others to sing with him, even dances with the ladies while singing. Our music is never too loud for the occasion, so that people can easily converse. We also perform humorous parodies which are popular in some venues. Songs from the 20's to the 70's are featured. These songs are considered as 'standards' written by this country's greatest composers such as George Gershwin, Cole Porter, Hoagy Charmichael, Duke Ellington, Rogers & Hammerstein. Henry Mancini, Irving Berlin, etc. Many people think of us as 'The little band with the big band sound'. We have booked performances around the country: Houston, Phoenix, Greenbay, Davenport, Madison, Milwaukee and Chicago. We frequently play very entertaining concerts for park districts, senior centers, private parties and retirement communities. We are also heavily engaged in country club dances, weddings, anniversaries, dance clubs, birthday parties and corporate functions. We have produced six CDs todate, and can send you a demo CD.

Review by April G.

Wedding Cocktail Hour•Reviewed on June 29, 2011•From Wisconsin Dells, WI

Words can not express how fantastic this band is. I have worked as a wedding and event planner for several years and have never come across a group better than this. They were professional, easy to work with, accommodating to all song requests, and so TALENTED! They made my wedding! If you are looking for big band / Frank Sinatra flavor- look no further you MUST hire this group.

Wedding•Reviewed on August 15, 2009•From Madison, WI

This band was superb. The musicians are extremely talented and the song selection couldn't have been better. Our vocalist represented the song styles beautifully. My husband and I danced the night away--which we hadn't planned to do! We were the last couple dancing and closed the reception hall. We were extremely happy and highly recommend this band.

Anniversary Party•Reviewed on June 7, 2009•From Fox River Grove, IL

We hired the Melodaires to play at my in-laws 50th Anniversary Party. They were fantastic! They played everything we had asked for and really got the crowd going. They were very accommodating to a few family members who wanted to sing. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for great entertainment for a party or wedding!
