Photo of The Midtown Horns The Midtown Horns "Thank you Greg, For appreciating our event and our property. The truth is, I am one of the lucky ones who got to marry their best friend. It's true love through and through, and I think that is why things were just destined to work out as beautifully as they did. I think you will appreciate this, the next day, Jay said, "that was the best wedding I have ever been to. I had to laugh thinking to myself, "I wonder how the groom feels"!!! ����! But I knew it was going to be terrific when two days prior this incredible rainbow engulfed our house!!! Auspicious indeed!!! All the best to you and your awesome band!

Based in Saratoga Springs, New York (147 miles from Boston) 14th September 2026 Todd Shafer - Wedding Photo of John Anthony Ferrer John Anthony Ferrer "I have hired John Anthony Ferrer to entertain my sorority reunion guests at the Bean Runner Cafe. Is amazing guitar playing as well as classic songs and popular pop tunes. John's hand the guitar really comes alive as well as the songs he plays. John is a real Rock Star, playing tunes from the Jazz era and then switching to the Pop songs of the last few decades. Then playing Blues before going into some romantic Bossa Nova. I also hired him to host and play guitar for 2022 New York Miss Teen pageant contestants. It wasn't long before he had the beautiful young ladies dancing and singing to the songs he played. A highlight to their busy schedule. To sum it up, John Anthony Ferrer's guitar wizardry will amaze you."

It is the first one David Langlois ever wrote and it's about his falling in love for Africa at first sight. When I got the track and listened to it, I thought this should be number 1 on the charts! So i play it on my show the next morning, and I started hearing from listeners sending love messages from all over the world! I told him how much I love the richness of the sounds and that he was a real Jamaican to which he responded " a Frenchaican".

Frequently asked questions

Hiring dance bands typically costs between $240 and $3,950+, with an average of $1,350. The price depends on the number of musicians, set duration and the style of dance music. Dance bands vary from compact combos to large ensembles with horn sections, and the size of the line-up is the primary cost driver.

The dance bands for hire cover a wide range of popular dance music including pop, disco, funk, soul, Motown, rock and current chart hits. Most dance bands focus on well-known, uptempo songs designed to fill the dance floor at parties and celebrations.

Typical bookings for dance bands are two to three hours of live music, split into high-energy sets designed to keep guests on the dance floor. Short breaks between sets give the band and audience a chance to reset before the next round. It is worth discussing the event schedule with the band to plan the best format.

Most dance bands bring their own PA system, instruments and basic stage lighting. Some bands offer enhanced lighting packages as an optional extra. For larger venues, additional sound or lighting may be needed. It is advisable to confirm all technical requirements before booking.

Common events for dance bands include weddings, birthday parties, corporate events, proms and any celebration where getting guests dancing is a priority. A live dance band brings energy and interaction that a DJ or playlist cannot match.
