About the Band

The Grand Party Experience

Brought to you by the award-winning creators at Golden Rose Management, The Grand Party Experience is a full-scale, luxury entertainment production designed to deliver a nonstop, high-impact celebration from the first note to the final encore. Fusing a Southern collegiate-style marching band with elite vocalists, dancers, and a live DJ integrated directly into the band, GPX creates a seamless, elevated party experience that feels massive, polished, and unforgettable.

At its core, GPX is a powerhouse live band featuring male and female lead vocalists, precision musicianship, and dynamic choreography — enhanced by a master DJ who performs alongside the band to keep the energy continuous. With over 100 songs spanning multiple generations and genres, the group is known for delivering continuous music with no breaks, often performing up to three hours straight without stopping. Live band performances and DJ-led segments are woven together intentionally, allowing the music to flow naturally and keeping the dance floor packed all night long.

As a Golden Rose Management ensemble, GPX is built with a premium attention to detail that goes far beyond the music. From immaculate custom costuming and intentional stage presence to flawless pacing, transitions, and crowd engagement, every element is designed to feel intentional, upscale, and exciting. The ensemble can scale from 14 to 30+ performers, including a live marching band and professional dancers, creating a theatrical, high-energy experience that commands the room.

GPX is equally refined and explosive — delivering elegant dinner and cocktail music before transforming the room into a jaw-dropping, all-out dance party. With decades of combined global performance experience, the group is trusted by Fortune 500 companies, major liquor brands, professional sports organizations, and high-profile private clients.

Perfect for weddings, corporate events, conventions, festivals, Mardi Gras celebrations, large-scale private events, and luxury productions, The Grand Party Experience is the definition of All-American, world-class entertainment — bold, polished, and unapologetically grand.

If you’re looking for a live band that delivers nonstop energy, a built-in DJ, and a truly elevated production — make it grand with The Grand Party Experience.

Our event was this past Thursday and I am still thinking about how amazing GPX was. From the moment that they arrived to when we left after the first breakdown right after the event… they were amazing!! I am getting so many compliments from guests.

The Grand Party Experience was absolutely amazing! Communication before, during and after the wedding was exceptional! Daniel was wonderful to work with. The band itself was so fun and energetic and the wedding guests loved them! We don't have enough great things to say!

FAQs

Find answers to your questions about our bands and booking process right here.

What is the cost to book a band for an event?

We offer bands for nearly every budget, starting around $2,000 and going up to $15,000+. Most dance bands range between $3,500 and $8,500.

Does a band provide all their instruments and sound equipment?

Bands bring instruments and sound equipment for most weddings and events, covering up to several hundred guests. For larger events, additional sound support can be arranged for a fee or through a vendor you provide.

Do bands provide lighting?

All bands provide basic lighting for their performance area, but this isn’t decor lighting for the whole space. Light stands typically feature a few white or colored LED or par cans. Some bands can adjust lighting to fit the event, or they can skip it if you’re working with a separate lighting vendor.

How long can I expect the band to play?

Special event bands charge a single fee for up to a 4-hour block, including breaks. They’ll play a preset playlist during breaks, scheduled around natural pauses like speeches or cake cutting. For a 4-hour event, bands need at least 45 minutes of break time, usually split into two 20-25 minute breaks. Some bands offer a three-hour no-break option and can add overtime for an extra fee.

How far in advance should I book a band?

Spring and fall Saturday events often book a year or more in advance, with popular dates typically securing bands 8-15 months ahead. Non-Saturday events book closer to the date, and we often help clients with shorter timelines (2-6 months) find great bands. Booking early increases your options for in-demand bands, so reach out soon!
