Clarity Music Productions 
  • Production company
  • Starts at $8,000
  • Serves New York, NY for additional fees

Clarity Music Productions is born of a vision. After playing at weddings and private events for nearly 20 years, Brad saw how communication has changed, and how the event music business failed to change with them. He watched as discerning clients and couples sought more personalized experiences at their weddings, yet the bands continued to perform using standard playlists with few requests. He realized there can be a better way for clients to be a partner in designing their event music experience. As with flowers, cakes, menus, and stationery, event music can be personalized for a tailored wedding experience for clients and their guests.

Cuarteto Guataca 

5.0

New York, NY
  • Band or Ensemble
  • Starts at $2,000

Bassist and bandleader Josh Levine got his start in the professional music business busking in SoHo with The Flying Neutrinos in ’93, so when NYC shut down in Spring of 2020, he capitalized on his experience as a street performer and began to play regularly in the parks of NYC with percussionist and sonero, Jainardo Batista, renowned flutist Itai Kriss making his debut on Cuban trés guitar, and María Raquel on vocals and minor percussion. Before long, the quartet had generated some buzz, several venues hired them to play outdoors and pianist Gabriel Chakarji and Grammy winning flutist and vocalist Jeremy Bosch became staples of the group.

I have used Cuarteto Guataca both personally (birthdays, family events) and professionally as a wedding/ event florist and event planner for YEARS. Every time they manage to get everyone on their feet. They are super professional always and extremely easy to work with. Hands down, Josh and his band will always be my first choice for latin entertainment (any entertainment for that matter)!!

We hired VSmusic4u for our wedding in Fox Hollow. Vinny was the easiest vendor to work with, we booked him to play for the hospitality and then a string quartet joined him for the ceremony. Its was the best decision we made, the music was so beautiful and I cried walking down the aisle. For the cocktail hour we asked them to play pop songs and music from our favorite movies, our guests are still talking about their talent and how amazing they made our day. We can't imagine having our beautiful wedding without them, highly recommend to everyone!

My wife and I cannot say enough good things about Erich Cawalla and the rest of the Uptown Band. As we continued to try and schedule and reschedule our wedding during this pandemic, Erich was there every step of the way with us. We spent hours on the phone talking out different scenarios and situations to where we could make our BIG day happen, and he would time after time explain, "Vince, I'll play anytime, anywhere. We're going to make this happen!". This is a true testament to the type of people Erich and the rest of the Uptown Band are. Aside from being incredible to work with, their body of work speaks for itself!!! Erich is an incredible performer and musician, and the rest of the band is just as talented. They don't only just play great music, but they all know how to perform. Their ability to get a party started, keep it going, and leave the entire crowd wanting more is exactly what we wanted for our wedding. We could not have chosen a better group to help us celebrate than Erich Cawalla and the rest of the Uptown Band.

I had the pleasure of listening to Travis and Kareem play the Steel pan at 2 weddings I was working at. They both played a variety of genres like Reggae, Soca, Afro beats, Hip Hop/R&B, and Pop. I was so surprised at how many popular songs they knew how to play. The pan also gave an extra special touch to my clients' weddings that made them unforgettable. All of the guests were up dancing during their whole performance.
