Frequently Asked Questions

Do your bands take breaks and if so how many?

Our CTO bands play continuously throughout your event, with the exception of dinner when we perform with a smaller ensemble. During this period, our musicians rotate their breaks guaranteeing that the music never stops. They will perform pleasant background music, striking the balance between a comfortable dining experience and live music. When dinner is complete, the party kicks into high gear, with non-stop, full-band performance.

Can I choose my own set list?

Absolutely. We understand the importance of personalizing your event. We want it to reflect your style and personality. Our DJs and bandleaders collaborate with you in shaping the soundtrack to your occasion. By merging our musical expertise with your favorite genres and songs, we will customize a list that will keep your dance floor packed all night.

Do you act as an emcee during the event?

Yes. Our experienced team includes skilled emcees who will take care of all your event introductions. Whether it's introducing the bride and groom into the reception room or announcing key moments like the cake cutting, our emcees expertly facilitate the flow of your event. Their professional touch ensures your event is not only musically fantastic but also seamlessly organized. So, sit back, relax and let us handle the microphone.
