Washington Celebrations Bands
Our bands are made up of the finest musicians Washington, DC has to offer.  Our musicians are not hobbyists.  They are full-time musicians, composers, and engineers within the industry.  They are hand picked from the best military bands, symphonies, and studios in the DC Metro area.  They are performers.  With a Washington Celebrations band, your event will be talked about for years! 

Not only are we professionals of music, but we are also professionals in special events.  Washington Celebrations prides itself on training every musician on how to work with caterers, photographers, videographers, and any other vendor to make your special event the very best.

Washington Celebrations will offer you what other companies won't: 

-A personal consultation 
-An invitation to a live band rehearsal
-Musicians with professional resumes
-A courteous and competent staff
-Discounts for Active Duty Military, Police Officers, and Firefighters
-Discounts for 501(c)(3) Non-Profit Organizations

Our Bands versus the competition: 

The Competition - Some wedding/event bands or agencies hire freelance musicians who are not always rehearsed with the group.  They perform with the band for the first time at your event.  Other "live bands" use sequenced music or perform with karaoke-style backup tracks to "enhance" their sound.  "Hey, how is that keyboard player playing the piano, bass, strings and horn parts all at the same time?!?"  You should ask yourself, "What would happen if their computer crashed during my First Dance?"

Your hard-earned money deserves the best in live music, not a karaoke machine hiding subpar musicianship!  Do your research and hire a band that you can go see perform live.  We encourage you to check out our competition and see if they gamble with pre-programmed music.  Videos are a great way to get a first impression of a band, but don't always rely on them.  We offer free live client auditions so you can see exactly what you'll pay for; a great band with superior musicianship.
