Special events such as a wedding will always require a wonderful mix of music to please all the guests in terms of a variety of music.

Your special day is a time of joy and of cultural and spiritual traditions that have been passed down through the generations.
The Royz Band is very experienced at performing for Jewish weddings and all the traditions – Kabalat Panim, B’Deken, the Chuppa, Kidusshin, Ketubah, Sheva Brachot (Seven Blessings) and the Breaking of the Glass.
The Royz Band can offer the duo of classical guitar and flute performing traditional Jewish and/or Classical music in ceremony area. Musicians will perform a full half hour or more as your guests assemble at the Chuppah, then for the processional(s), any required music during ceremony, and the recessional(s).
The reception or Seudah (Festive Meal) includes benching, horas and the many other festive traditions. You may choose to use one or more hours of our live dinner music for some elegant, beautiful and unique live dinner music for a supper club setting, joyous horas and dancing between courses.
The Royz Band has many years of experience with the particular needs for your Jewish ceremony and reception and has the repertoire to fulfill your musical requirements.
CELTIC WEDDINGS
With Heather’s Scottish heritage we have gathered quite a collection of Scottish and Irish tunes, which we love to intermingle with the usual huge variety of music we play at a wedding.
For example, The Royz Band can play a selection of traditional celtic tunes throughout your dinner and some high-spirited tunes for your dance. From Irish and East Coast jigs and reels to Scottish Gay Gordons, all seamlessly mixed in with the usual dance and party fare, we guarantee even those without a drop of Celtic blood will be joining in the fun.
