Rehearsal Dinner & Welcome Party

Before an epic wedding comes an equally epic "Night Before".  Whether you’re hosting an elegant rehearsal dinner, a laid-back welcome party, or both, I offer solo, duo, trio, and full-band options in Richmond, Charlottesville, and throughout the DC / Virginia / Mid-Atlantic region to create the perfect soundtrack for the celebration ahead. Below you’ll find just some examples of my most frequently booked configurations as a helpful starting point.  But every event is unique, and I’m always happy to customize the music to bring your vision to life.

  • The Virginia Assembly  - Welcome Party

A great Welcome Party should feel like the beginning of something special—relaxed enough for old friends to catch up, lively enough to get the celebration underway, and memorable enough to set the tone for the weekend ahead.  That’s where The Virginia Assembly comes in.

Rather than offering a one-size-fits-all band, Justin draws from a deep network of exceptional musicians across Virginia to create the right combination of musicians around him for your event. Maybe that means a soulful guitar-and-vocal duo playing favorites as guests arrive. Maybe it’s a trio or quartet bringing a little more energy to a cocktail party on the lawn. The music can be tailored to the atmosphere you’re envisioning.

The musical style can be just as personal. Americana, bluegrass, classic rock, modern pop, singer-songwriter, jazz-influenced acoustic music—or a mix of it all. The artists and songs you love help shape the sound.

Most importantly, the music should complement the party rather than take it over. The Virginia Assembly brings a polished, upbeat acoustic sound that adds energy, personality, and a sense of occasion while still leaving plenty of room for conversation, cocktails, and celebration.

Every Welcome Party is different. The music should be, too.

Tell Justin what you’re imagining, and he’ll help bring together the right musicians to make it yours.
