Meet Jack Faulkner

My professional musical journey began during my senior year of high school. I was fortunate to be mentored by the father of a classmate, a renowned bandleader in the Philadelphia area. Throughout college and the years that followed, I was a sought-after musician, performing with leading bands in the city. This experience provided me with an invaluable firsthand understanding of the elements that contribute to a truly successful event.

How We Started

My wife, Catherine, was doing the same work around town and acquiring the same experience, so in the late 90s, we decided to combine our talents and form our own band.

While we were constantly on the road with our Philadelphia-based band, we were simultaneously planning a wedding in Catherine’s Massachusetts hometown. We remember how stressful it was trying to plan our wedding in the midst of our busy lives.

From the outset, we made it a priority to alleviate this stress for our clients, and even try to make the ensuring a smooth and enjoyable planning process. Fostering a respectful and supportive environment for our musicians has also been a very important to us. Something we hear all the time: “Wow, I can tell you guys are really having fun up there.”
