Sound Society

Sound Society is a high-end wedding band based in New York City. Their roster includes musicians who've performed with Taylor Swift, Stevie Wonder, and other major touring acts. That's the caliber of player showing up at your reception.

The band is customizable from 9 to 14 pieces. A typical setup includes vocalists, a horn section, rhythm section, and percussionists. The size scales to the venue and the event — a 9-piece fits a more intimate reception, while the full 14-piece brings arena-level energy. Their producers work with each couple to build a setlist and performance plan specific to the event.

Sound Society handles more than just the reception. They offer ceremony musicians, cocktail hour sets, and DJ services, so you can book one company for the entire night rather than coordinating three separate vendors. They also bring their own sound and production setup.

They're based in NYC but perform regularly at Hudson Valley wedding venues and Catskills wedding venues. Their service area extends to Washington DC, Boston, Atlanta, and beyond. If you're planning a destination wedding, they travel for that too.

The reviews across WeddingWire, The Knot, and Zola consistently point to the same things: packed dance floors and professional execution. What couples tend to highlight is the energy level — these are musicians who know how to read a room and adjust on the fly rather than grinding through a predetermined setlist.

Pricing is on request and will depend on ensemble size, travel, and production requirements. This is a high-end band, so expect pricing to reflect that. For couples who prioritize live music as a centerpiece of the reception rather than background noise, Sound Society delivers.
