Ceremony to last dance

One SCE team for your whole celebration: acoustic ceremony music, a duo or jazz ensemble over cocktails, then a full-band reception with sound and lighting. A custom song, written and recorded by Sean, makes the story yours.

How the day sounds

  1. Ceremony

    Solo

    Acoustic arrangements for the processional, the vows and the recessional, including a custom aisle song.

  2. Cocktail hour

    Duo or jazz ensemble

    Sinatra, Michael Bublé and modern standards while guests find their drinks and each other.

  3. Dinner

    Solo or duo

    Warm, conversational sets that let the room breathe.

  4. First dance

    Solo

    Your song, arranged for the moment. Many couples ask for an acoustic version of a track they love.

  5. Reception

    Full band

    The SCENE take the floor, and keep it full.

Your story, set to music

Frequently asked

What formats are available?

Solo acoustic, a duo, or Sean Carney and The SCENE as a full band. Many events combine them — for example solo for a reception and the band once the dancing starts.

What happens after I inquire?

Sean replies personally within one business day with availability and questions about the event. Then you receive a tailored proposal, and your date is held once the agreement is signed.

How far ahead should we book?

Peak Saturdays are often reserved nine to eighteen months out, and corporate and private dates six to twelve months ahead. Shorter notice is sometimes possible, so it is always worth asking.

How is pricing set?

Every proposal reflects the format, date, location and hours of music. Share a few details through the inquiry form and you will receive a tailored quote.

Can you play both the ceremony and the reception?

Yes. A common plan is solo acoustic for the ceremony and cocktail hour, then The SCENE for the reception. Ceremony sound can run separately so nothing is heard being set up.

Can you learn our first dance song?

Yes. Send the song early and it will be arranged for the moment, whether that is a faithful version or a stripped-back acoustic take.
