Jewish Ceremonies: Panache is experienced in Jewish ceremonies and works closely with your synagogue and rabbi to ensure that music selections follow all guidelines and structures for the service and reception. Our clients can request music for any part of the festivities, from the veiling of the bride to the service to the Horah and beyond.

Most of our ensembles’ repertoire already includes many traditional Jewish selections and if we do not have a specific piece, we can make sure that we have the means to acquire them. As a note, our custom ensemble portfolio also features Klezmer and orthodox Jewish bands.

Catholic Ceremonies: Our familiarity with Catholic ceremonies is extensive and we have a close working relationship with many of the musical directors in our geographic area. Whether or not you choose to have a full mass or not, Panache is flexible in performing alone, with the musical director, or with other accompanying musicians to create a beautiful atmosphere while adhering to the necessary religious structure, such as hymns and readings.

Civil Ceremonies: For civil ceremonies, Panache performances last for about an hour and is apportioned into the following sections:

30 minute ceremony – everything between the attendants’ processional to the recessional, including the lighting of the unity candle, readings, rose-giving ceremonies, etc.

20 minute prelude as your guests arrive

10 minute postlude as your guests leave.

These times may be re-arranged in a number of ways but the minimum charge for all Panache’s performances is an hour. If the ceremony is shorter than expected, our clients enjoy the additional benefit of a performance while they take pictures and/or receive guests. If required, the duration of the performance may be extended by half-hour or hour increments and are pro-rated accordingly.

Outdoor Ceremonies: The majority of wedding ceremonies during the summer season are often outside and our policy is structured around the protection of expensive wooden instruments and electrical equipment:

Instruments must be protected from direct sunlight either through natural shade or through some sort of canopy. Performances scheduled around 4:30 PM or later usually do not have to worry about this requirement.

Rain on the instruments is very dangerous. Weather conditions may prevent us from performing completely unless we receive protection from the rain. However, in most of these instances, the entire wedding may already have been moved inside so this is usually not an issue.

The temperature must be at least 60C to prevent wooden instruments from cracking. Lower temperatures can also numb performers’ fingers decreasing their nimbleness and flexibility.

Other important factors for outdoor ceremonies include wind, which affects how the sound travels and the ability of the sheet music to stay on the stand, as well as the availability of a working outlet for electric instruments, amplifiers, and speakers.

The duration for most full mass ceremonies lasts usually for an hour and a half and as always, Panache can pro-rate the additional time for you as needed.

In addition, many of the live ensembles you see here may be bundled with our partnered DJ companies or work in tandem with a DJ you choose yourself. As we aggressively expand into this area, if you find a similar or identical band offered by another group or booking agency that we have access to, we can effectively price match their offer to the best of their ability.

With Panache, you can trust in the level of music quality and experience to deliver a performance your guests will enjoy.
