Personalized packages and groups of musicians for any event. My name is Aaron Bowers, I've been a professional musician for over 10 years, and I've played with many different groups in many different styles and venues. I can provide you with an acoustic duo, small jazz combos, or a full dance band depending on your budget and the size of your party.
I personally play with every group that I advertise for and would be happy to customize the experience for any event you might be hosting. Always happy to do consultations and take song requests to make sure that customer satisfaction is guaranteed.
Aaron helped us assemble a jazz quartet for our daytime wedding. He was super helpful and responsive throughout the planning process. On the day of the event, he was on time and coordinated well with event staff. His band gave us just what we were looking for in terms of atmosphere and vibe and we heard nothing but good things from the guests. An easy recommendation for future events!
Response from Aaron Bowers Music:
Thank you! It was a lovely wedding, was happy to be a part of it.
These guys played four amazing sets!
They fit in with the crowd perfectly and they were a pleasure to have, both as performers and guests!
Aaron Bowers Music is easy to communicate throughout the planning. The performance is what we expected.
Our guests loved the live music! This group of guys are incredibly talented and professional. They happily accommodated our song requests and were a wonderful addition to our event. We look forward to working with them again!
Very friendly guys that provided great music for our Speak-easy themed event.
Great music and work ethic. Guests enjoyed the nice ambience created by the flute for our medieval themed event at the Hayloft. Thanks very much!
Unreal music. Hired them for a wedding to do the ceremony, cocktails, dinner, and reception. They were the first ones there and the last ones to leave, took care of everything, looked great and sounded great. Super quick to respond to our emails and were super easy going with all of our requests for the evening. You should hire these guys right now, for any type of party you might have coming up! Great job!
Aaron (flute) and his colleague (guitar) definitely complimented a beautiful wedding by serenading the guests as they were arriving and getting seated, playing for the bridal processional and then providing music during the cocktail reception.
Thank you so much!
These guys were awesome. They took care of all the planning for the full day, and made sure that we had all parts of our wedding covered. They were super quick to answer all of our questions and very easy to work with. Would %100 recommend them for any wedding or event that you might be planning!
We hired Abowers music and the Momentum band for our wedding and could not be happier with the results. They took all the worry out of planning the music for our day by providing music for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception all through one amazing vendor.
They were very helpful in the planning process and guided us through exactly what we would need for our event. All of the groups sounded great and fit what we were looking for perfectly.
Would absolutely recommend these guys for any event, thanks again for the wonderful music!
Hired for my companies bbq, these guys were great to deal with.
10/10 would recommend, thanks for your professionalism Aaron.
We hired Momentum for our wedding and couldn't be more happy! They were very professional, easy to deal with and accommodating to our song requests. Kept the energy up and the dance floor packed all night. Highly recommend!
We had Momentum play our wedding reception. right from the start, they were very easy to deal with, quick to answer our questions and willing to work with our song requests. They kept the dance floor packed all night and we are still hearing from our guests how amazing the band was. We are very happy we hired them for our wedding and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a great band for their wedding.
The band was excellent. We hired them for a corporate event for four 50 minute sets. They all wore professional and tasteful attire, and accommodated to our needs throughout the day. Thanks Aaron Bowers of Monty and the Martini's for a great day!
Very easy to work with, excellent communication. Great band and sound.

My name is Aaron Bowers, I have over 20 years experience playing my instruments and love nothing more than performing. I started playing piano at the age of 3 and eventually worked my way through most of the woodwind family. I have a degree in performance from Humber College and a diploma from Mohawk in the same.
I love playing all styles of music and make a point of personally performing with every group that I advertise for. I have played all around the world but now mostly try to play in the general southern Ontario area playing private events and parties.
I currently play with a small acoustic duo with my fiancé, jazz combos of varying size with friends from school, a 6 piece swing, 5 piece rock band, and 6 piece R&B/Top 40 band all with local and extremely talented musicians.
We are always happy to take requests and want to do everything we can to make your night as special as possible.
We generally don't need much from you, other than a power outlet, and a place to set up. Maybe a chair or two depending on the situation.
We always ask for a contact we can deal with directly on the night of, but will generally provide everything else we need.
