Welcome to On The Beat 

An award-winning live music agency powered by the most in-demand musicians in Los Angeles

Southern California | US-Nationwide | Destination

We’re a community of artists and event enthusiasts on a mission to make your big day your best night. With a world-class talent roster and an unlimited playlist, you’ll never have to ask if we know a song, can play a style, or get every generation on the dance floor. We’re here to transform your event into an experience that keeps your guests on their feet and leaves them raving about the occasion for years to come. 

We take fun seriously… 

*and pride ourselves in being the best decision you’ll make (after your spouse, of course)

Every wedding has a melody, and yours should sound like you.  We’ll start in our virtual living room with some get-to-know-you questions…which may or may not include asking your favorite song to sing in the shower and your fantasy TikTok-worthy grand entrance. 

We welcome your guilty pleasures, groove along to throwback faves, and smile our way through feel-good must-haves. 

(yep - we love Sweet Caroline, too) 

We’re equally serious about strategy, thoughtful about planning, and meticulous over details. The result? A custom celebration soundtrack executed to perfection, so you can break in those Blahniks. 

PS: Tell your feet sorry.

There were band quotes we got back for double the price of On The Beat. I cannot tell you enough what a great deal and exceptional talent you are receiving.

For those who want more from their live music provider

Hopefully, you’re shopping around to find the best band for your celebration. But you might be feeling uneasy about a company that leads with a list of their demands. Set times, band breaks, insisting they get demi-glace hangar steak, not chicken dijon - you name it. 

We do things a little differently…

We’re not bottom-line folks driven by prices and terms, and we’re best suited to like-minded couples. We love to play for people who appreciate excellent music, stellar performance, and won’t judge if we get a bit misty-eyed along with the crowd during the first dance.

On The Beat is in the experience business.

We’re always on your side and measure our success by your happiness with our service. We’re satisfied when you feel empowered to make decisions that leave you feeling cool, calm, and confident in every musical choice. And when something doesn’t feel quite right, we’re excited to find the solution that gives you peace of mind. Consider us your partners in this process - equally invested in bringing your vision to life. You can rest easy knowing we’ll handle everything from the lead-up to the run of show, so you can be present in your moment. 

 

Bands with benefits

A well-chosen band takes the music from ambient to immersive.

But you still might be wondering… 

  • My wedding is multicultural/multilingual/interfaith…will my in-laws relate to the songs?

  • My parents insist we use the XYZ band they heard at uncle Charlie’s 50th- Can you HALLLLP?!

  • What about grandma - Got any golden oldies that will get her swingin’ on the dance floor?

Can you really keep everyone happy???

We sure can. At the risk of getting too ‘meta,’ songs played at this level rise above musical taste. We play the moment - knowing when to slow it down and when to rock, when to fist pump and when to sway arm-in-arm. It’s all in real-time and guaranteed to impress your in-laws, parents, uncle Charlie, and grandma, too.
