ENTERTAINMENT OFFERINGS

To curate the precise entertainment for your event, Lucy Black Entertainment will craft the perfect team for you. We carefully vet all our performers and only work with the highest level artists and utmost professionals. We know choosing the right entertainment is a daunting task, so let us help!

We have limited the amount of videos we include on our site, so that we can help you find exactly what you need. Let’s begin with a phone call, to learn more about your overall event and personal tastes, in order to create a customized proposal, tailored to fit your needs!

From our first call to the big day, we are your team throughout the entire process. We want to hear about your vision, in order to pair you with the right entertainment options for your event. Once you have finalized your decision our team will help take care of the rest!

After your team is booked, we will schedule an in-depth music planning call with Rebecca or Lauren to ensure every detail is discussed and set. From the overall flow, to the specific emotions you’d like to invoke throughout each part of the event, our team will ensure each moment is curated. We will confirm all of the onsite logistics with your planner and event team directly, and can be available for your venue walkthrough.

In order to deliver the highest quality production, we include an onsite entertainment coordinator for every event. As wedding and event experts, we oversee all the details and moving pieces for the talent and entertainment elements, creating a flawless experience for you and your guests. Our team will liaise with your planner and event team onsite, ensuring the flow of the event syncs perfectly with your vision. If you have non-Lucy Black artists booked and need a team to oversee and manage them during the event, we can help!

ENTERTAINMENT COORDINATION

DANCE BANDS

Our custom curated teams, Lucy Black Gold, Lucy Black Phoenix, Lucy Black Beat Collective, and our premier band, Lucy Black Luxe, are more than simply a band with great musicians. We sought out the most seasoned and talented professionals that we know, in order to have a group that we value as team members and artistic partners. These teams bring valuable insight and creativity to help design and execute your vision, going beyond any party or wedding band. We will also create a bespoke mini band, in order to bring live music into your micro wedding. Be it for a ceremony, cocktail hour, or simply dinner, our team can adjust to what you need.

In addition, we research, vet, and collaborate with other groups, to ensure that we find the perfect fit! From weddings to bar/bat mitzvahs, galas to corporate events, we’ll curate precise the entertainment and music to fit your vision. Whether you need a society band to dance the night away or a party band that can cover anything from country to Top 40, Motown to R&B, and everything in between, we have it all!

A DJ is so much more than simply pushing buttons on a laptop. Hyping up the crowd and curating the right mood to give your guests an immersive entertainment experience, is the goal. Our DJs, many born out of the club scene, are the highest level professionals who not only understand how to run a party and read a crowd, but also the art of creating experiences. You absolutely need someone who can manage and perform luxury events, featuring all the top dance and party hits, then sprinkle (or pour!) on a club vibe, if you desire.

From partnering with live bands for the reception to fusion groups, we pull from the top DJs on the East Coast and around the country, just let us know what you’re looking for!

DC STRING MACHINE

Who doesn’t love the elegance and class of a string quartet for a wedding ceremony or cocktail hour? DC String Machine is our traditional string quartet performing classical, pop, rock, R&B, jazz, broadway, salsa, EDM, and even Bollywood hits. We create custom arrangements, so can cover ALL the things!

We collaborate with the highest level strings players who perform with major orchestras, opera houses, and soloists. Depending upon your vision, we can create a full string ensemble, string quartet, or even provide a soloist. Utilizing a small group of musicians is perfect for your mini and micro wedding needs!

JAZZ ENSEMBLES

Going beyond the standard smooth jazz vibes, let’s elevate your event with the highest level artists to create an authentic jazz experience!  We collaborate with the top musicians in the New York City and Washington DC jazz scene. 

Bringing us a passion for international music and culture, our multilingual musical partner Café Internationale, artfully blends the raw energy of gypsy jazz, the sensual pull of French chanson, and the heat of Latin ballads, all rolled together with stylish American swing.  Performing in several languages with authenticity and flair, this ensemble infuses each performance with deep passion, energy and cosmopolitan style.

For unique music options for micro weddings, we work with you to create a custom ensemble to fit your precise needs. Our instrumentalists can be paired with string players, to ensure that we create the perfect setting for your event.

SPECIALTY ARTISTS

Culturally specific events require the care and expertise of artists to create an authentic and accurate experience for your guests. We pride ourselves in curating a true cultural experience with performers from around the world. Whether you're looking for oud and sitar players from the Middle East, Latinx performers from across Central and South America, or dancers and musicians spanning the continent of Africa, we can help find the team that fits you best.

Experience the enchantment of our resident artist, Sherwin Thwaites, performing steel drum music that transforms popular songs into beautiful Caribbean-inspired melodies. Through these unique soundscapes, you and your guests will be virtually transported to the vibrant and tropical atmosphere of the Caribbean. Elevate your luxury event with a Caribbean twist! 

From bagpipers to dhol drummers, our network of artists is extensive and diverse. Set up a call and we can discuss the specific needs for your event!
