Key Ingredients for a Concert-Like Reception

1. A Band That Knows How to Read the Room
A great concert flows with the crowd’s energy. The right band knows when to drop a ballad to let everyone catch their breath and when to kick it up with a dance anthem that fills the floor. If you’re open to it, we’re always open to taking crowd requests!
2. Lighting and Atmosphere
The right up lighting and dance floor setup turn your reception from elegant dinner to full-on show. (Pro tip: VCS can even provide a dance floor rental as well as full room uplighting to complete the transformation.)
3. Interactive Performances
The best concerts blur the line between stage and audience. Whether it’s getting guests to sing along, jumping into the crowd, or pulling the couple up front, these are the moments people will talk about for years. You’re of course able to customize the evening’s performance including the vibe you want to go for: More laid-back tasty jams to a more interactive experience, we want to bring your vision to life!
4. Epic Setlists
From timeless classics (Stevie Wonder, ABBA, Earth, Wind & Fire, Hall & Oates, The Beatles, etc.) to modern chart-toppers (Harry Styles, Chappell Roan, Morgan Wallen, Sabrina Carpenter, etc.), the setlist should feel like your ultimate playlist—but bigger, louder, and live. Of course, you’ll have the opportunity to influence and customize song choices thereby making each set one-of-a-kind!
What Couples Say About the Experience
Couples often tell us their reception felt like a private concert just for them and their guests. The dance floor stays packed, everyone leaves with sore feet and big smiles, and you get the unforgettable energy of a show where you’re the headliners. Weddings often include such a diverse guest count and couples have found great satisfaction in how we’re able to play something for everybody. Read our reviews here:
