Want to hire a live band for your wedding reception, corporate event or private party? Melonbelly (Burke long and Clifton Castelloe) specializes in high quality live entertainment for corporate parties, weddings (rehearsal dinners, ceremonies and receptions), grand openings, birthday parties and more. Our playlist (below) includes songs for all ages: Motown, oldies, beach, country, bluegrass, blues and classic rock to modern day hits. In addition, we provide DJ and Master of Ceremonies (Emcee) services and will coordinate with event planners to ensure that everything runs smoothly. Book us immediately for corporate functions, weddings, college parties, birthdays, anniversaries, festivals, fundraisers, and events of all sizes: from intimate dinners to large outdoor concerts. Many clients appreciate that we do not take up very much space and can easily control our volume level so that guests can still have a conversation without trying to yell above the music. This makes Melonbelly a good fit for smaller venues where a large band would not be appropriate.

Melonbelly Performance Includes:

* Exciting and fun live entertainment

* Professional sound equipment

* Experienced MC service
(announcing the wedding party and helping to coordinate the flow of the evening)

* Personalized playlist

* DJ music in any style during breaks or as requested

* A microphone for announcements and toasts

“We LOVE the band! Where did you find them? They are perfect! Where can we buy their CD? Oh, and by the way, your wedding was beautiful.”…These are just a few of the comments we heard at our wedding reception, and we still have guests emailing us with similar remarks to this day! From the moment we talked with Cliff and Burke and listened to their music, we knew we had found our guys! They have such a huge repertoire of songs, and they even offered to learn a song or two if necessary. They were extremely professional, yet laid back and went out of their way countless times to make sure we felt relaxed and at ease. More than anything, Cliff and Burke are extremely nice guys who genuinely cared about making our wedding day special."

Dear Clifton and Burke,

Thank you, once again, for helping to make our Realtor event such a success! You both are extremely talented, very friendly and always accommodating. Each time you play at one of our events we get numerous requests for your contact information. The comments I hear over and over are “Where did you find these guys?” and “The band is fantastic!”. Thank you for always knowing exactly what we need for our events. We look forward to working with you again very soon!
