We offer a number of push-button wedding packages built with a combination of Ivy Hill Collectives for live music, DJ services, and audio services. Each Ivy Hill Collective represents a different popular musical aesthetic for wedding performances.

  • The New Classics (Ceremony and Cocktail Hour) - Classical versions of Pop music

  • The Delectables (Ceremony and Cocktail Hour) - Jazz, Blues, and R&B classics

  • The Family Funktion (Dance Reception) - Top 40, Pop, and Dance hits throughout the ages

For clients with a more discerning taste in live music, we offer customized entertainment packages fulfilled by our diverse roster of professional musicians.

Your Artists Perform A Wide Variety Of Songs. How Can I Make Sure The Songs I Want To Hear Get Played?

The IHE Weddings Team will help you through our wedding music survey which allows you to make specific requests for special moments, and more general information about the vibe you’re looking to create. Here’s how this process plays out for our DJs vs. Live Musicians.

  • DJ Performances - Our DJs have access to a wealth of music to accommodate your tastes, we’re happy to research and acquire any music desired for your specific wedding.

  • Live Music - Each of our live music groups has a song list from which you can make selections from. Each live music booking also comes with a number of special requests, please see our Song Request Policy below.

What Is Your Policy On Song Requests?

For each ceremony and cocktail hour booking, you’ll get one non song list request. For each reception band package, you get two non song list requests. We’re happy to accommodate more requests with a small fee per musician, per song.

What Is Your Ceremony Audio Service?

Our ceremony audio service includes speakers, a dedicated audio tech, two wireless lapel mics for the officiant and one member of the couple, and a wireless handheld mic for readings. This service is recommended for weddings of more than 50 people and ensures that the guests who traveled far and wide to see you can hear your life’s moments.

Why Do You Charge For Additional Audio Locations?

Our push-button wedding packages include audio support in up to three locations of your venue, extra event spaces require an additional charge to accommodate bringing and running an additional system. Our customized entertainment packages charge for audio services on a per location basis.

Professional audio equipment is heavy and requires time and expertise to set-up. In order to provide a more professional service, we bring separate audio systems for each event space within your venue to ensure we are not moving equipment during the event and to ensure smooth transitions between different portions of the event.

Can I Add Another Musician To My Band?

Many of our live music groups offer scale-able performances which allows us to tailor your performance to suit your event space, desired entertainment footprint, and your budget.

Do You Offer MC Services?

Our DJs and Band-Leaders offer MC services for your wedding at no additional cost. We’ll work with you through our wedding music survey to ensure our MCs are aware of any announcements you might need, along with the correct pronunciations!
