Get a QuoteThe Band
The Listeso Band is a 7-to-12-piece live wedding band based in New York — vocalists, horns, and a full rhythm section. The same musicians who perform at Joe's Pub and SubCulture, and who play the Candlelight Concert Series, bring that same level of craft to your reception floor.
The band reads a room. Energy builds naturally, the floor stays full, and the arrangements are tailored to your night — from a horn-heavy first dance to the song that keeps the last guests from leaving. This is what your reception sounds like.
Reception Band & Optional Add-Ons
The Listeso Band is the reception. A 7-to-12-piece live band — vocalists, horns, and rhythm — scaled to your venue and built to keep the floor full. If you want a ceremony string quartet, a DJ for after the band, or production support, those are available to add.

Optional: add the Highline String Quartet for your processional and ceremony music.

How It Works
Step One
A call where we learn about your wedding and talk through the band — size, style, must-play songs, and the moments that matter most to you. One point of contact from this call through the night of, so every decision builds on what came before.
Step Two
Once we understand the night, we send a tailored proposal — band configuration, pricing, and any add-ons you want — built around your venue, guest count, and the specific moments you want held. Everything is adjustable; nothing is boilerplate.
Step Three
In the months leading up, we work through every musical detail — first dance arrangements, processional selections, parent dances, reception pacing, and the final song. Every moment that matters to you becomes part of the plan.
Step Four
The band arrives, load-in is handled, and the performance unfolds the way you planned it. Your only job is to be present — and on the dance floor.

Love Letters
"Our cellist played my grandmother's favorite hymn during the processional, and I watched both sets of parents lose it at the same time. That's the moment I remember most. Later the band got my 80-year-old uncle out on the floor for Bruno Mars. I still can't believe that happened."
The Plaza Hotel, Manhattan
"We interviewed five other bands before we landed on Listeso. What made the difference was being able to explain our wedding once, to one person, instead of repeating it to five different vendors. Sounds like a small thing. On the day, it wasn't."
Brooklyn Botanic Garden
"Our first dance was a horn-heavy arrangement of a song nobody ever covers. They built it from scratch and it became the moment everyone keeps asking us about. The rest of the night lived up to it — the friends who flew in for the weekend were the last ones to leave."
