Frequently Asked Questions
We love building relationships with our clients, so please don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions, but for some quick answers, here is a list of our most frequently asked questions.
"Will we have the same people we see in your videos?"
YES: These days, many bands operate as "roster bands," meaning the musicians featured in their promotional videos may not be the ones performing at your event. Some groups take multiple bookings on the same day and assign available vocalists and musicians instead of a consistent lineup. To avoid surprises, ask if the performers in the videos are the same ones who will take the stage at your event.
At Paradigm Party Band, we take pride in our consistency. Our core members have been performing together since 2016, and we never double book. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, the musicians you see are the ones who will bring the energy and excitement to your special day.
"Can you cover ceremony music?"
YES:. We love doing ceremonies, and can accommodate your ceremony desires with any combination of our musicians, or if you want a type of musician that is not in our band, we can arrange that for you and ensure your audio is covered. Paradigm has multiple top of the line audio systems to ensure your ceremony music as well as the officiant and your vows will be heard clearly by all your guests.
"Can you handle cocktail hour?"
YES:. We can provide any combination of our musicians or musicians and vocalists for your cocktail hour, be it a solo pianist, piano and guitar, or a trio, or quartet. Some of our clients just want an MP3 playlist. No problem. We can provide the sound system and play your playlist through our system.
"Do you provide Emcee services?"
YES: and our Emcee is always included in the price. You do not get charged extra for our Emcee services. We have done countless weddings, and are highly experienced in this area. Our Emcee services include Introductions, First Dances, Toasts, Special Announcements, and overall Show Flow Coordination from start to your grand exit.
"How can I feel comfortable communicating with Paradigm?"
We excel at the personal touch! Check out our reviews page, and you will see that almost every review mentions our Band Manager - Event Coordinator Kimmie. She has decades of event and wedding experience and just loves to work with clients, couples, and event planners. She will be with you every step of the way from your first contact all the way to the end...and even when your event is over don't be surprised to hear from Kimmie again. Because of the personal touch, we have developed lasting friendships with our clients. Here is what one client wrote about Kimmie. "It was an absolute pleasure working with Kimmie during the planning process. She was always responsive and helpful, and her energy and enthusiasm were a delight. Thank you so much to Kimmie and Paradigm for such a memorable evening! We couldn’t recommend them more highly!"
"Do you have your own audio and lighting?"
YES: Premium audio is always included. We do not charge extra for premium audio like some other bands do. This is something we really pride ourselves on. Paradigm has one of the finest audio systems around. We have three separate systems to be able to accommodate any Wedding Ceremony, Cocktail Hour, and Reception seamlessly as well as any Corporate or Private event. Our systems use cutting edge technology. For example, our main system uses 100% wireless microphones for all our vocalists, plus additional wireless mics for toasts, private speakers, corporate presentations. We also have wireless in ear monitoring for all members of the band. This means that you get a clean looking stage with a class leading clear sound. We also have some of the best audio technicians in the business running our sound live so you're assured of a perfect performance at every event. We also provide our own LED stage lighting. And all of this is included for up to 500 guests. However, if you have a larger event, no worries. We regularly perform for large crowds of 1200, 5000, and even 11,000 guests and we can accommodate any crowd requirement at an additional charge.
