WEDDING MUSIC SELECTIONS: There are many aspects of a wedding and all of them call for music. Music creates the soundtrack for your special day. Music can make your event special or it can turn it into a disaster. That is why we pride ourselves in being professional, wedding music experts! Please review some examples of music that can be played throughout your wedding day.
SHOWCASES: All couples interested in hiring Ray and The Colao Show Band are invited to a live music showcase. Our Show Band Showcases are scheduled by appointment only and are conducted in our private studio or residence. Occasionally, the band will partner with Wedding Music Showcase and conduct the showcase at one of our partner venues (No bars. No restaurants. Mostly country clubs or wedding venues.)
PRE-EVENT: Ray will meet with the couple and the wedding coordinator (if the couple has one) to ensure that all aspects of their special day has music accompanying it. If the couple does not have a wedding coordinator, one of our Client Engagement Managers will create a Wedding Music Timeline for your special day since music should be integrated into all aspects of your wedding.
DAY OF EVENT: Ray and/or one of our Client Engagement Managers will arrive early to the venue to set up. They will use the Wedding Music Timeline to ensure that all goes as planned.
