Wedding band in Nashville:
a Motown revue in a city of players

Booking a wedding band in Nashville means competing with a city full of musicians, so the bar is the show, not just the playing. The Velvelettes bring a staged Motown and soul revue: three voices, live horns, choreography and an MC, from $3,400.

We have played a press-building hall in Germantown, a downtown hotel ballroom and a barn venue out toward Franklin with the band on a wagon-height stage. Nashville is a straight drive down I-65 from Detroit, about 8 hours, so we arrive the day before with our own PA and lighting in the truck.

Nashville's wedding calendar runs deep; April, May and October Saturdays book 12 to 18 months out. Send your date early, and if the site is rural we will talk power before we talk setlists.

Before you ask

Nashville questions, answered

Is there a travel fee to Nashville?

Nashville is beyond the 150-mile no-fee radius, so travel is quoted per date. It is a drive city, so the line stays modest; the availability check returns the exact number.

Do you know Nashville venues?

We advance every room with your venue contact, requesting the floor plan and power spec ahead of the date. For barns and estates we go one step further and confirm the power on a call before contracting.

Do you play both weddings and corporate events in Nashville?

Yes. Nashville brings us weddings most weekends and corporate events around the convention calendar, on one contract either way.

Everything else a host asks first lives on the FAQ page.
