Planning a wedding in Paris? Whether you’re saying “I do” in a historic château, a chic Parisian rooftop, or a charming garden venue, one element can truly elevate your cocktail hour: live music.
Set the Tone with a Live Band at Your Paris Wedding
The cocktail hour is more than just a transition between the ceremony and the reception—it’s a key moment that sets the tone for the evening. A live band adds sophistication, warmth, and an unmistakable energy that pre-recorded playlists simply can’t replicate.
If you’re dreaming of a romantic, refined, and unforgettable cocktail hour in Paris, our live band offers two unique musical formulas tailored to your vision.
Our duo singer & pianist: refined, jazzy elegance
For a classy, intimate ambiance, our duo featuring a singer and pianist is the perfect choice. With smooth jazz standards, elegant pop covers, and soulful ballads, this setup creates a sophisticated, lounge-like atmosphere ideal for mingling, sipping champagne, and soaking in the Parisian vibes.
Perfect for couples who appreciate subtlety and style, the duo brings a refined touch without overpowering the conversation.
Our trio singer, pianist & drummer: pop & jazz with more dynamics
Looking for a bit more energy while keeping it stylish? Our trio, featuring a singer, pianist, and drummer, brings more nuance, rhythm, and variety to your cocktail hour. This format blends jazz with upbeat pop and soul covers, offering a broader musical palette to suit diverse tastes.
It’s ideal for couples who want to create a vibrant yet tasteful mood, getting guests gently into the celebratory spirit. It's the perfect transition between the ceremony and the wedding reception!
A Carefully Curated Repertoire – International & French Touch
Our repertoire is designed with the wedding cocktail in mind: jazz standards, soft pop classics, soulful ballads, and timeless love songs that everyone can enjoy. But what makes our band stand out for a Parisian wedding is our French song selection—from Édith Piaf to contemporary chansons. These iconic French tunes add a local, romantic charm that international guests adore.
Whether you’re planning a chic destination wedding or a stylish soirée in your hometown, including a touch of la chanson française during your cocktail hour is a unique way to celebrate your Parisian setting. You can choose to have our musicians only perform French songs, or a mix of English & French classics- Orphée's strength is to offer personalized options for each event.
