Violin – $375. What a beautiful way to have your guests arrive and for you to make your grand entrance. A live violinist contributes a wonderful and classy atmosphere to your special occasion.
Acoustic Guitar – $375. The fun and romance of having an acoustic guitar player at your beach wedding is a treat for everyone. We may be able to have them play some songs of your choice! As our guitar player has told us, “With enough advance notice, I can learn anything”. “Here comes the Bride” to “Here comes the Sun” by the Beatles for a sunrise wedding, they can probably do it!
Caribbean steel drums – Starting at $375 for one musician. We have several steel drum players! From drummers for your ceremony and/or cocktail hour, to a full Caribbean band who can really get your party moving, we can do it all! What a fun way to say “I do” or to say “We just did!”.

LOCAL TYBEE “ONE MAN” BANDS
On Tybee Island, it is common to find local entertainers playing along to pre-recorded or “looped” music.
Jude Michaels – Jude has been involved in music his entire life. He sings and plays a variety of instruments. Guitar, hand percussion ,cello, sometimes all at the same time with the help of looping samplers. Starting with classical Cello, in his hometown of Muncie, Indiana, now a Local Tybeean, Jude has spent 20 years traveling the country and mastering the art of his profession before settling on Tybee Island, Georgia. He has been a regular, longtime performer at a myriad of southern weddings and gatherings in the low country.
Randy Smith - A mixed bag of musical influences from North to South are reflected in Randy Smith’s repertoire. Born raised in Detroit, Randy reveals the Motown influence in his nostalgic 60’s and 70s’ classics; his move to Florida in the mid- 80s’ and Tybee Island in the 90s’, introduced the tropical, laid-back Jimmy Buffett element’ with a little blues, rock and country for good measure, producing a well-rounded musical style with something for everyone. The full, rich blend of Randy’s self programmed Midi – background music, electric guitar and vocals create the illusion of a full band.
And while you’re planning your wedding music, the new trend is to have a ‘choreographed’ dance for your first dance. Try a ‘low country’ favorite dance step ~ Shag Dancing! Call instructor Pat Folds at 912-272-1762 to schedule private or group lessons!
