WEDDING RECEPTIONS, CORPORATE EVENTS
& OTHER PRIVATE AFFAIRS

56DAZE is equally at home playing wedding receptions, corporate events, street festivals or other private parties as
well as local and regional night spots.  We'll work with you and adjust our song list so we play the music you want to hear.



 
56DAZE is the ultimate party band. We’re not the typical “wedding band” – which is why we’re such a great choice for your wedding reception or other private party. We are incredibly versatile and will literally drive the show through decades of “danceable” rock & roll favorites.  From the rock classics and 80’s dance, to the 90’s alternative and today’s modern rock, we have a little of something for everyone.  We can even play some tunes for those country music and reggae lovers as well if needed.  Our goal is to create “ENERGY” through our music performance.  We guarantee a party at every show and promise to have everyone at your event dancing, singing, smiling, laughing and having an all out unforgettable experience.


EMCEE SERVICES
Tony Poling, of 56DAZE, will be happy to EMCEE your entire event. He will work with you to ensure the correct name pronunciations of all attendees needing an introduction, from wedding parties, board members, and special guests.  In addition to handling all of your special announcements, Tony will keep the event's agenda flowing smoothly according to a pre-determined order.  There will be a wireless microphone available at all times for  toasts, prayers, and any special announcements.


PRODUCTION 
We carry our own professional grade sound and lighting, and we’ll set up when and where you want. On most occasions, we arrive approximately 2-3 hours before the events start time to ensure we are ready to go before your guests arrive.  We are meticulous about our sound, lighting, and stage appearance.  Please visit our MEDIA page for sample video clips of our show.

PROFESSIONAL APPEARANCE
56DAZE will arrive in appropriate dress for your event. (formal wear, “club casual”, or jeans and t-shirts – you decide)

CONTINUOUS MUSIC
 56DAZE will provide pre-recorded (CD) music of your choice during the cocktail hour, dinner, and while on break. After Dinner we will kick in the party with up to four (4), one-hour sets, of live music.  Typically we take a small break between each set.  We are capable, however, of playing straight through without breaks for an additional fee.

PRICING 
Pricing varies widely based on the day of the week (weekends are more expensive), time of the year (summer is busy for us), and other factors such as complexity of production (how much sound and lighting gear is required).  Call Tony Poling at 419-509-8669 for detailed pricing for your event.

TRAVEL
56DAZE will play anywhere on the planet. We have traveled hundreds of miles to play a wedding reception or field party on more than one occasion. Of course, this type of service comes at a premium price, but darn it, we're worth it!


DECORUM
We can assure you that if we perform at your private event we will present ourselves professionally and reflect your requirements.  We have performed at many local and regional night spots, weddings, festivals, and private functions and are well aware of the different atmospheres and what is appropriate behavior and dress for each. We will dress the way you want and will keep the show clean for all ages in the audience.

GETTING A PIECE OF THE ACTION

Here are a few things that you may want to consider when looking for your wedding or corporate entertainment. Just because a band is bigger and has more players does not necessarily mean they sound better.  Do not judge a bands worth on how many members they have.  A bigger band may have members who only play instruments or members who only sing.  A smaller band can sound just as big if they have members who can sing and play instruments all at once.  Some wedding bands hire extra freelance musicians who are not always rehearsed as a group. Make sure you are getting the group of musicians that you are hiring and avoid the bait and switch.  Also watch out for "live bands" performing without a drummer and / or using karaoke style back up tracks.  Studio made videos and demos can be misleading.  Some groups perfect their music in the recording studio and lip synch their videos.  All 56DAZE audio & video clips on this website were recorded live on location during our performances at events just like yours using musicians who are permanent members of 56DAZE.
