Ovation
About Us

The number of musicians in Ovation can vary. With five pieces, a client receives a guitarist, keyboard player, drummer, bassist and female singer.   All of these core instrumentalists are also talented singers.  This allows for a great variety of musical genres at your special event.
The sixth piece, and common addition, is that of a saxophone. If a client desires a larger sound, a trombone and trumpet are happily added on.  A recent trend in weddings is that of having larger bands.  If this is what a bride or client desires, Ovation has also added the option of an additional male singer as well as a percussionist.  With these additions, the music is taken to the next level. With more members, there can be more of a party feel.  
The members of Ovation are highly trained and experienced musicians. Ovation promises, as some bands will not, that the members you see on the video are the musicians who will be at your wedding or party.  Whether you choose to keep your affair small and simple, or plan on being on the next episode of "Platinum Weddings," Ovation is sure to please; catering to all of your musical requests.
