"We used Sinclair Serenade for our wedding and absolutely LOVED them! I hired them to play an original song for my husband and I at our first look, and also had them play a hymn during our ceremony and some background music. They were thoughtful, attentive, and easy to work with. It was such a joy to have them at our special day. Don't hesitate to hire them!"
— Ali S.
"I commissioned Justin to write an original song as an anniversary gift to my husband and it remains the best gift I've ever been able to give. Justin's process reflects his organic, easy-going yet deeply intentional style. He's lyrically gifted. He and Joy are special people, and they treat every person, event and performance as appropriately special."
— Rachel N.
Luxury wedding entertainment in Los Angeles varies by scope. Ceremony-only packages start at $800-$1,200, cocktail hour from $1,000-$1,800, and full celebration packages at $2,500. Sound system included in all packages. Silent Disco add-ons are available for noise-restricted venues. Custom song creation is a premium add-on. We provide transparent pricing with no hidden fees.
A hybrid DJ and live musician combines the versatility of a DJ (massive song library, seamless transitions, dance floor energy) with the emotional impact of live instruments and vocals. We perform live guitar and vocals over curated backing tracks — giving you the polish of a DJ with the soul of a live band, at a fraction of the cost of a full band.
Yes! Silent Disco is perfect for venues with noise restrictions — common in Malibu, Santa Barbara, and many coastal California locations. Guests wear wireless headphones and can switch between two channels. It's interactive, unique, and solves noise ordinance issues without sacrificing the dance party.
Absolutely! We regularly learn special request songs for ceremonies and first dances. We can also write a completely original custom song for your wedding. Custom song requests should be submitted at least 4 weeks before the wedding date to allow time for arrangement and rehearsal.
For Southern California weddings, booking 6–12 months in advance is recommended, especially for peak season (May–October) weekends. A deposit secures your date with the balance due 2 weeks before the event.
Three things: First, we're a husband-and-wife duo, which brings genuine romantic energy. Second, our versatile format gives you more flexibility than a band or a DJ alone — live acoustic performances, curated playlists, DJ dance sets, and even Silent Disco. Third, Justin also brings professional credits including Weezer and 88M+ streams to the stage.
We're fully self-contained with a professional sound system suitable for venues up to 200 guests. For larger venues or outdoor spaces, we coordinate with venue sound systems. Setup takes about 30 minutes and we arrive at least 1 hour before performance time.
