“Very responsive, friendly, kind, professional and very talented. We love her voice and her guitar playing on Youtube and the real deal on our wedding day was exceptional. My groom’s family even requested a song for her to sing and she nailed it. She felt like a friend to us and we will go watch her live again when we have the chance. Her self-composed songs are great too. Highly recommended for wedding receptions! Fun, energetic and powerful voice and guitar skills.”

-Rozelle  & Gabriel

“We had Lolah sing at our wedding reception and her voice was amazing! She’s very friendly and can tailor your event to your mood and music preferences. Definitely a hidden gem to have in the bay area!”

– Nicole & guy

“Lolah sang at me and my husband’s wedding this past weekend for the ceremony and dinner service, and she did absolutely amazing! She brought all her own equipment, set up and sang at all the right times, and has the voice of an angel!!! She even sang an original song which was so beautiful it brought tears to my eyes. I highly recommend Lolah for your event, especially for weddings!”

– Francine & Matt

LOLAH’s wedding entertainment service typically range from $2,000 to $3,500, with add-on available. This investment covers bespoke music curation, ‘White Glove’ coordination with your venue, and a professional, immersive audio setup. We provide transparent, value-based quotes to ensure your atmosphere is exactly as you envisioned.

Do you have experience with high-profile or corporate-scale events?

Yes. LOLAH is trusted by global brands like Google, Microsoft, NVIDIA, and Intuit. We bring that same level of elite professionalism and ‘Heads-Turn’ performance to every luxury wedding.

Do you handle all the tech and venue coordination?

Absolutely. We provide full AV management, including lighting (lasers, haze, moving heads) and direct coordination with your planner. Our goal is to make your entertainment completely ‘Hands-Off’ and stress-free.

What are the benefits of booking your “One-Stop-Shop” entertainment package?

Booking our one-stop-shop package eliminates the stress of managing multiple vendors by providing a single point of contact for live music, pro-DJ mixing, and custom lighting.
. This ensures a seamless, high status atmosphere with professional AV coordination and ‘white-glove’ management of every technical detail for your special day.

What is your music curation session?

Our ‘Music Curation Session’ is a one on one virtual meeting with Lolah where we deep-dive into your wedding’s emotional flow. As expert in reading the room, Lolah helps you map out transitions from the walk down the aisle to the final dance, ensuring a seamless, stress-free celebration that reflects your unique story.

What’s included in your wedding packages?

Every package includes a professional sound system, wireless microphone, and my full attention from load-in through the last song. My most-booked option is the Signature Hybrid — I perform live acoustic sets during your ceremony and cocktail hour, then transition into a full DJ set for the reception. Lighting upgrades are available as add-ons, and The Jukebox lets your guests request songs in real time via WhatsApp throughout the night.

How far in advance should I book for a Bay Area or Napa Valley wedding?

For weekend dates in peak season — especially spring and fall — I’d recommend reaching out at least 6 to 12 months in advance. Napa Valley dates in particular book up fast. I do sometimes have last-minute openings, so it’s always worth checking, but locking in your date early gives us more time to build the perfect music flow for your day.

What does your pricing look like for weddings?

My wedding rates typically start around $2,000 for a solo acoustic or DJ set and go up depending on hours, venue location, and which package fits your day. A full-day Signature Hybrid — ceremony through dancing — runs higher. I don’t publish a flat rate because every event is different. The best first step is sharing your date and vision so I can put together an accurate quote.

Do you provide sound equipment for outdoor ceremonies?

Yes — I bring everything needed for ceremony sound: speakers, amplifier, and wireless microphones for the officiant and vows, with a second mic available if you’d like to address your guests. Everything is set up and tested before guests arrive. If you’re at an outdoor venue in Napa or the Bay Area, I know how to make sure every word and note carries the way it should.

Can my guests request songs during the reception?

Yes, and it’s honestly one of my favorite parts of the night. I run something called The Jukebox — guests text song requests directly to me through WhatsApp and I weave them into the set in real time. No shouting over the music, no hoping I’ll guess right. It keeps energy high and makes everyone feel like the night belongs to them.

What’s the difference between hiring a live musician versus a DJ for my wedding?

With most vendors it’s one or the other. With me it doesn’t have to be. My Signature Hybrid starts with live acoustic performance — real vocals, real guitar — during the ceremony and cocktail hour, then shifts into a full professional DJ set when it’s time to dance. You get the full emotional arc of a wedding in one seamless package, without the cost or coordination of booking two separate vendors. And if you want to go bigger, I can also source and manage additional entertainment on your behalf — live bands, string quartets, dancers, photo booths, and more. Just let me know what you’re envisioning and I’ll put it together.

Do you provide MC services for weddings and corporate events?

Yes. Whether I’m performing as your live musician, DJ, or through the Signature Hybrid package, I also handle MC duties — welcoming guests, guiding the flow from ceremony to cocktail hour to reception, and making key announcements like the grand entrance, toasts, and first dance. It means one less vendor to coordinate, and someone who already knows your event’s timeline inside and out.

LOLAH provides professional wedding musician service, as a soloist or with band accompaniment, for couples seeking live music that feels personal, refined, and meaningful. From the walk down the aisle to post-ceremony moments, each performance is shaped around your wedding vision, venue, and atmosphere.

Whether you’re planning a romantic ceremony or a relaxed cocktail hour, our approach to live wedding music focuses on timing, tone, and emotional flow-allowing the music to enhance the moment without ever feeling overpowering.

WEDDING MUSICIANS FOR CEREMONY, COCKTAIL HOUR & RECEPTION

Live music plays a meaningful role throughout a wedding day, especially during the ceremony. As experienced wedding ceremony musicians, we carefully adapt each performance to suit the pace, emotion, and setting of the event.

Many couples choose live music for key moments such as:

  • Guest arrival and pre-ceremony seating
  • The processional and recessional
  • Cocktail hour transitions

As a wedding guitarist, performances can be tailored to reflect a wide range of musical styles, allowing couples to select songs that feel authentic to them. This flexibility makes live music for a wedding ceremony a natural choice for couples who want a personalized experience rather than a one-size-fits-all playlist.

Whether performing intimate ceremony acoustic sets at private estates in Atherton and Woodside, or full hybrid live music & DJ packages across Napa Valley, we customize every soundscape to match your venue’s acoustics.

Choosing the Right Wedding Music Option

If you’re considering hiring wedding musicians for your special day, there are several options to choose from.

Some couples prefer an acoustic wedding singer for a romantic ceremony moment, while others choose a live band or DJ to create energy on the dance floor. At LOLAH Entertainment, we offer flexible wedding music options so couples can find what fits their celebration best.

A full band often creates a lively atmosphere and visual impact, but it typically requires more space and a larger budget. DJs offer flexibility and access to a wide range of songs, making them a popular option for receptions.

Live wedding musicians bring real-time emotion to meaningful moments like walking down the aisle or a first dance. While live performers work from prepared song lists, the connection and presence they bring to a ceremony is difficult to replicate.

LOLAH uses a loop pedal to layer guitar and vocals live, allowing a solo performance to sound full and dynamic—similar to a small band. For couples who want more, LOLAH can also perform with a full band or combine live music with DJ services through her band, The Travelers.

Planning wedding music can feel overwhelming, especially with everything else on your plate. With experience performing at hundreds of weddings and events, LOLAH Entertainment offers a complimentary music consultation to help you plan the right sound for your day.
