Introduction for Act of Congress
Imagine this: A bride walks down the aisle to the lush, elegant tones of a cello and mandolin, perfectly arranged for her favorite song. Later, the dance floor is alive—guests of all ages singing, dancing, and cheering to soulful reimaginings of Motown classics and today’s hits. The night is electric, and the music is the centerpiece they’ll remember forever.
This is what we do at Act of Congress.
We’re not your typical event band—we’re world-class musicians with over 500 performances worldwide, including events for Disney and Google. Here’s why your clients will love us:
1. Motown Meets Acoustic Magic: From Stevie Wonder and Marvin Gaye to Ed Sheeran and Lizzo, we give iconic songs a fresh, soulful sound with mandolin, cello, and lush harmonies.
2. Packed Dance Floors with Sophistication: We bring the energy of a full band with the refinement of an acoustic quartet, creating unforgettable celebrations without ever overwhelming the space.
3. Proven Excellence, Trusted by Icons: NPR calls us “one of the freshest sounding, exuberant bands in the acoustic universe.” When Disney and Google trusted us to entertain, they knew we’d deliver a flawless experience—and your clients will too.
4. Seamless Ceremony-to-Reception Versatility: From a moving, intimate ceremony performance to a high-energy reception set, we deliver a seamless musical journey that keeps your clients and their guests immersed in the celebration.
5. Stress-Free Partnership with a Personal Touch: We’re professional, punctual, and detail-oriented, making your job easier while exceeding your clients’ expectations. Unlike generic band booking sites, where you’re passed off to some guy in Ohio named Larry, you’ll work directly with one of our band members every step of the way. From planning to performance, we partner with you to deliver an experience that’s seamless, responsive, and refreshingly personal. You’ll thank us later.
At the end of the night, your clients deserve to hear their guests say, “That was the best event I’ve ever been to.” Let’s work together to make that happen!

The one and only thing that I've always known I wanted at my wedding reception was amazing live music..and Act of Congress delivered!
Really, you can't go wrong. They brought their own sound and lighting, and played well to the crowd. We had some good dancing and our guests could not/cannot stop talking about how amazing the music was. They played from a repertoire of wedding favorites and covers, and accommodated our preferences regarding their repertoire. They're incredibly nice, friendly, and great to work with.
5 out of 5!
Amazing wedding band! Such fun music for the folks who like to dance and the ones who like to listen. Our first dance is one I will never forget! Highly recommend!!
Act of Congress truly made our wedding and reception exceptional. They played the ceremony music as well as the reception and both were incredible! AOC plays an INCREDIBLE version of Pachelbel's Canon in D, which was the bridal processional song, and that is what got me hooked on having them play the ceremony. They played about 20-30 minutes of prelude music, which added touches of elegance and uniqueness to our ceremony.
Further, many of those in my town had never heard of AOC and they left the ceremony excited about finding a new band to love! Also, we had many in attendance at our reception that we figured would not dance and we wanted them to have music that was enjoyable to sit and listen to. The band wasn't too loud and really just made the reception. I've gotten tons of compliments on the band and have been told by many that they were the best wedding musicians and band they had ever heard! The professional nature of Act of Congress shines through their music for weddings and I am so glad to have had them at my wedding!
