Events are not one-size-fits all, so we understand that our packages may not fit your needs. This is why you can add each service separately to any package! Find out more information about how you can create the most ideal experience for you:
Additional Hour: Want the silver package, but need more time? Add an extra hour of music! Our high energy band loves to play and wants your guests to enjoy the party the whole time. Each hour of music includes one 15-minute break.
Dinner Music: Set the tone for the party by getting a sneak-peek into our band by entertaining your guests with dinner music. This can be anything from ballroom, jazz, or even top 40s; whatever fits your style.\
Special Song: Make your big day even more special by adding the perfect song as a backdrop to your first dance, Mother/Son dance, Father/Daughter dance, etc. *Sufficient notice is required to add this service.
Basic Lighting: Lighting connects the dance floor to you and your guests, so make the right choice to elevate the ambience. We have two lighting options to chose from: fifteen-color light tree that illuminates the dance floor or synchronous action light equipped with strobe and lasers that pulsates to the beat of the band.
Full Lighting: We are well equipped with all the things a reception band could ever need, including fifteen-color light tree, one light bar, and a rotating action light pulsing to the beat that all illuminate the dance floor for every guest to enjoy.
Emcee: Our emcee will read your script to introduce the wedding party and other honored guests. Emcee will make announcements to help keep your guests informed and your event timeline on schedule. Special Announcements may include: First Dance, Parent Dances, Photo Ops, Cake Cutting, Last Call, Final Dance, & More.
DJ During Breaks: Keep the party going while the band takes a break. There are two options to entertain your guests during our breaks:
iPod playlists during band breaks using our sound system
Band member DJs and curates a selection for guests to enjoy, while also taking requests.

All services are negotiable and can be added or subtracted as desired.

Lincolnway Driverz regularly performed weddings and large scale events throughout Iowa from 1982 until 1990. After a three decade hiatus, the band is back together and ready to enhance your special day! Formerly known as Keep Moving, Lincolnway Driverz is central Iowa’s premier wedding and party band. We are a classy, sophisticated, formal wedding band that play everything from elegant dinner music and ballroom through the rock eras and current pop hits. Lincolnway Driverz is composed of five experienced vocalists that are all about bringing a smile to the face of their audience and inspiring them to get up and move. We have all had years of training and love nothing more than performing live for your wedding ceremonies, corporate events, and more.
