Wedding Bands
New York City
Great Family Artists is a New York–based wedding entertainment company performing across Manhattan, Brooklyn, Long Island, Westchester, New Jersey, and the Hudson Valley. Our bands are Berklee-trained, our setlists are custom-built, and our production team handles every detail.
NYC’s Premier Wedding Entertainment
We built this company around a simple conviction: live music at a wedding should feel like something — not just sound like something. Every Great Family Artists performance is engineered around the arc of your night, from the first notes of cocktail hour through the last song of the reception.
Our NYC bands have performed at some of the city’s most celebrated venues, from landmark Manhattan ballrooms to intimate Brooklyn lofts and sprawling Long Island estates. If you’re planning a wedding anywhere in the tri-state area, this is what we do, and we do it exceptionally well.
Our NYC Ensembles
We offer several distinct configurations to fit your venue, vibe, and guest count.
What to Expect from Pricing
Most NYC couples book between $12,000 and $22,000 for a standard 4-hour reception
