Solo Musicians
Piano, trumpet, guitar, vocals, and versatile one-person performances for intimate spaces and flexible programming.
Ready Play Entertainment
Professional live music shaped around your venue, celebration, and audience—from relaxed restaurant sets and private parties to elegant wedding ceremonies and high-energy DJ collaborations.

Music for Every Moment
Live music makes a room feel intentional, memorable, and connected.
Ready Play Entertainment books professional musicians for restaurants, hotels, country clubs, private parties, wedding ceremonies, cocktail hours, corporate events, festivals, and destination celebrations. Instead of choosing from a one-size-fits-all package, you can build the sound around the size of the room, the guest experience, and the energy you want.
Choose a solo pianist, trumpet player, guitarist, vocalist, acoustic duo, jazz trio, string ensemble, horn player, percussionist, or a larger group. We also combine musicians with a professional DJ when you want the flexibility of an unlimited playlist and the excitement of live performance.

Where Live Music Works
Every setting needs a different approach. We tailor volume, repertoire, performance length, and production to the way your guests will actually use the space.
Create a signature atmosphere without overpowering conversation. We provide dependable solo performers and compact ensembles for restaurants, hotel lounges, resorts, country clubs, brunches, dinner service, and recurring entertainment programs.
Give birthdays, anniversaries, holiday parties, engagement celebrations, and at-home events a live soundtrack. We scale the setup to the room and can move from background music to a more interactive performance as the party develops.
Use one coordinated entertainment team from guest arrival through the final dance. Live musicians can perform for the ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, or join the DJ during the reception for a hybrid experience that feels spontaneous and elevated.
Match the music to the purpose of the gathering, whether you need refined background entertainment, an attention-getting featured act, or a full celebration. We support conferences, awards events, fundraisers, grand openings, festivals, and client receptions.

Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to the questions clients, planners, restaurants, and venue managers ask most often.
For weddings and peak-season Saturdays, booking six to twelve months ahead gives you the best selection. Restaurants, private parties, and weekday events may be possible with shorter notice. Contact us even if your date is close—we will check our current roster and recommend the strongest available option.
Pricing depends on the number of performers, performance length, location, travel, sound requirements, and whether the date is recurring or one-time. A solo performer generally costs less than a duo, trio, quartet, or DJ-and-musician combination. Once we know the event details, we can provide a clear recommendation and quote.
Yes. We work with restaurants, resorts, hotels, lounges, and country clubs that need dependable recurring entertainment. We can discuss the audience, service times, volume expectations, space limitations, repertoire, frequency, and whether rotating performers or a consistent featured musician is the better fit.
The best choice depends on the room and the role you want music to play. Solo piano, guitar, vocals, trumpet, or an acoustic duo can create an easy social atmosphere. A jazz or Latin trio adds more presence, while a DJ with live horns or percussion works well when dancing is central to the celebration.
Often, yes. Ceremony selections, first dances, cultural songs, and family favorites can usually be arranged with enough notice. The feasibility depends on the instrument, ensemble, arrangement complexity, and available sheet music. Share important requests early so we can confirm what will sound best live.
Yes. Many couples use one performer or ensemble for both parts of the day, with different repertoire for each setting. We coordinate the transition, setup location, timing, amplification, and any required equipment so there is no awkward interruption between events.
That depends on the act and the venue. Some soloists and small ensembles provide compact amplification, while larger rooms, outdoor events, bands, and DJ collaborations may require a more complete sound system. We review power, weather coverage, load-in access, room layout, and venue restrictions before finalizing production.
Absolutely. DJ-and-live-musician combinations are one of the most flexible ways to add live energy without limiting your playlist. The musician can perform featured sets or join selected songs while the DJ maintains the pacing, requests, announcements, and continuous flow of the dance floor.
Yes, when safe weather protection, stable staging, suitable power, and an appropriate temperature plan are available. Instruments and electronic equipment cannot be exposed to rain, direct moisture, or unsafe conditions. We will help identify the practical requirements and backup plan before the event.
Please include the date, venue or city, event type, approximate guest count, desired performance window, indoor or outdoor setting, preferred style, and any special songs. If you are unsure about the lineup, describe the feeling you want—elegant, relaxed, romantic, lively, jazzy, tropical, modern, or dance-focused—and we will guide you.
