A Curated Network of Private Event Performers
Hello! I’m Justin Paciocco, a Richmond, VA–based musician and boutique booking agent (JP Entertainment) specializing in exceptional live music for weddings, corporate events, breweries, and private celebrations.
For over 15 years, I served as a senior booking agent at Sam Hill Entertainment, where I booked bands and performers for more than 3,000 weddings, corporate events, and private parties across Virginia and beyond. Today, I’m also the Music, Programs, and Events Coordinator at Hardywood Park Craft Brewery — the largest craft brewery in Virginia — curating live music and events at a high-volume, nationally recognized venue.
In 2025 alone, I performed at 141 events, yet received nearly twice that number of inquiries. As my calendar filled, I found myself regularly connecting clients and venues with trusted musicians from my network — talented, professional performers I knew would deliver at the highest level. From that need, JP Entertainment was born.
Why JP Entertainment?
Couples want great music. Planners want reliability. Venues want professionalism. I'm not just a musician... I'm your Music Planner. I'll take your vision and hand-select the right lineup, instrumentation, and style for your event. With a trusted network of Virginia musicians, JP Entertainment can build everything from an intimate solo performance to an energetic full band.
The Opportunity
I’ve always been a musical Swiss Army knife — piano, guitar, vocals, jazz, rock, acoustic, big bands, small groups, you name it.
Rather than being pigeonholed into one sound, I’ve built a vetted network of exceptional musicians that allows me to surround myself with the right players to bring any vision to life.
