Weddings · Greek & mixed-culture celebrations

Greek wedding music.
Your people. Your traditions.

A Greek wedding band with the warmth, energy and personal connection your celebration deserves. Based in Queens, playing across NYC, NJ, CT, PA and MD.

One celebration. Every generation.

Your wedding brings together families, generations and traditions. The music should make that connection feel natural. Ta Pedia Tis Polis brings live Greek music to your celebration, with a lineup and repertoire shaped around you.

Led by bouzouki player and music director Tommy Kavounidis, our band draws on Rebetiko, Laiko and Nisiotika traditions. From the warmth of a familiar melody to the energy of Greek dancing, we help you build a musical experience that feels like yours.

A soundtrack with Greek roots

Every family has songs that mean something: the music your grandparents love, an island tradition, or the dance that brings your friends to their feet. Tell us what belongs in your celebration—and what you would rather leave out.

Our musicians bring vocals, bouzouki, violin and traditional instruments to the performance. We discuss your favorite styles, special requests and the atmosphere you want, then recommend a musical plan. Requests outside our repertoire may need preparation, so share them early.

Hear the musicians and watch real performances.

From an intimate moment to a full dance floor

The right music changes with the room. A smaller ensemble can suit a cocktail hour or intimate gathering; a fuller band adds texture and energy to a larger reception. We talk through your schedule, guest count and venue so the music supports the way you want your day to feel.

  • Intimate Ensemble · 4–5 musicians: a flexible option for smaller celebrations.
  • Signature Wedding Band · 6 musicians: our recommended wedding lineup, with Greek instrumentation and a full rhythm section.
  • Full Greek Experience · 7–8+ musicians: additional musicians and specialty instruments selected around your family traditions.

You do not need to choose a package before getting in touch. Explore the options or let us help you compare.

Live band and DJ, planned together

Planning for Greek and non-Greek guests? Combine the live band with experienced DJ partners for a wider musical mix. DJ coverage can include Greek favorites, Top 40, house, hip-hop, Latin and other styles.

Whether you want a DJ between live sets or throughout more of the reception, we can discuss the arrangement as part of your package. The live band’s musical focus remains rooted in Greek traditions.

Wedding planning questions

How long will the band play?

Our typical performances run about three to four hours with short breaks. Your event schedule and desired coverage determine the final plan.

Can you provide sound and lighting?

We can provide sound and lighting or coordinate around the venue’s professional equipment. Share the venue requirements so we can confirm the technical plan.

How much setup time and space do you need?

We typically allow 1.5–2 hours for setup and soundcheck, and about 45 minutes for breakdown. A 12 × 10 foot performance area is ideal; the final layout depends on the ensemble and venue.

Do you travel for weddings?

Yes. We welcome inquiries across NYC, New Jersey, Connecticut, Pennsylvania and Maryland. Travel and accommodation needs are considered in your quote. See our service areas.
