What makes The Mockingbirds different from other wedding/event bands?

When you book The Mockingbirds, you get a true band. Many wedding bands are comprised of hired-gun musicians who may be meeting each other for the first time at your wedding. The Mockingbirds keep a close knit roster of musicians who know and play with each other all time. That means a more polished experience than a group of strangers could ever provide!

What style of music do you play?

We play from a wide variety of genres. Rock, pop, country, soul, funk, and hip-hop to name a few! We encourage you to check out our Master Playlist on Spotify (linked on our Song List page) to see all the songs we currently have in our repertoire!

We generally arrive 2 hours prior to the event.

Will you learn new music for us?

Yes! We often learn a handful of special requests for weddings and events.
