Wedding music that is different but FUN!

 

If you are looking for something different for your wedding reception, you might want to consider "Crazy Rhythm, Fancy Feet". We specialize in fun, "non-rock" music played by the best instrumentalists and singers in the Philadelphia area.

Our band is different than the standard wedding band. It consists of:

Note: We can perform with a smaller or larger band depending upon your needs.

We specialize in swing music and other styles such as Cajun, zydeco, and ethnic music such as klezmer.

Even though we specialize in non-rock music, if you want rock tunes played throughout your party, we will be happy to do so. You can hear samples of this by clicking on the song selections below.

Our quartet can be augmented with female vocals, guitar, trumpet, trombone and percussion allowing us to expand to a 9-piece orchestra. We can also provide classical music needed for the wedding ceremony -- for example, a flute and piano duo.

“Crazy Rhythm, Fancy Feet always plays at a volume that is appropriate for the situation. Your guests will be thrilled that they can comfortably talk to each other during cocktails and dinner, while the dance music will be played at a volume that creates plenty of excitement!

We will “get the crowd going” so to speak, if your guests need prompting. We keep this to a minimum, since we firmly believe that the bandleader should not be the center of attention. All of the announcements can be made by us, and we will discuss these, along with specific music requests, in advance.

 

We offer the option of adding dancers to your party, or as we call it, the extra "WOW" factor.

You can make your wedding even more memorable by using the unique option of having us perform a dance routine such as a wild swing, a zany Charleston, an exciting disco routine, a hot salsa, or a romantic tango. Since Bob the clarinetist is a professional dancer as well as musician, he is known as the “dancing bandleader”. We offer this option of performing a fun dance routine and/or teaching a brief dance lesson to add something a little different to your affair. The dance routine is performed by Bob Butryn and his dance partner, Eva Brothers. Since Bob is already at your affair leading the band, he does not charge for his dance services. However, there would be an additional charge for Eva. Also included in the price is an optional FREE private dance lesson for the bride and groom to give you the confidence you want for the “first dance”. Bob can teach this either at his house or yours. Again, since Bob is also the bandleader, you can be assured that the tempo of your “first dance” will be exactly the same as when you were rehearsing.

We offer many options when booking our band, so please give us a call so we can talk about what you had in mind. Together, we can design an affair that will reflect your individual tastes, in which the outcome will be excellent!
