Need a band for your wedding?
Let's face it, a band can make or break a wedding reception. If you and your guests aren't having any fun, the music only applies to one age group, or the order and flow of the night is chaotic, that's all anyone will remember.
You need to know and be assured that on one of the most important days of your lives, everything will go smoothly. You can trust Taxi Driver to make sure that happens!
We provide a wide variety of music all night appealing to ALL ages groups. We don't use a specific song list. We adjust on the fly depending on what your guests are responding to, and we provide a large variety all night long. We interact with the crowd and truly make it a party for EVERYONE. We help you with the coordination before and during the event. All you need to do that night is relax and have a blast!
TAXI DRIVER CAN ALSO PROVIDE SOMETHING YOU WON'T FIND ANYWHERE ELSE!
We can book and coordinate your ceremony music to include professional classical and acoustic musicians and singer(s); For the reception, musicians for cocktail and dinner music to include standard, swing, jazz, Caribbean, and Latin musicians; and of course, Taxi Driver for the dance!
ALL of the musicians we work with are some of the best, most experienced professional musicians in town!
If you desire, we can book a DJ from Master DJs, the #1 DJ company in Nebraska for cocktail, dinner music, and band breaks to keep the dance floor hopping!
We can provide the best, professional stage lighting and technicians for your reception
We can also provide TWO professional photographers for your ceremony AND reception
Why stress over wedding planning when you don't have to? Why pay MORE for booking separate services AND have to deal with so many different invoices, companies and people on top of it? You don't have to! Let Taxi Driver do the driving! We will manage and coordinate ALL of those services FOR you. One invoice, one check. You book the venue, flowers, and catering; we'll do the rest.
