From starting the process, to finding the perfect live band, to the big day...
Congratulations, lovebirds!
Engagement season is here — the magical time between Thanksgiving and Valentine’s Day when countless couples say "yes" to forever. If you’re among the 57% of couples who dive into wedding planning within a month of getting engaged, you know how important it is to secure the perfect vendors early.
For those dreaming of live music and entertainment that’s tailored to your big day, Robin-Banks Entertainment (RBE) is here to make your planning process seamless, personalized, and stress-free.
Why Engagement Season is Key to Wedding Planning
Today’s couples want more than just a vendor—they want a partner who understands their style, values, and needs. This is especially true when it comes to live entertainment. A wedding band isn’t just playing songs; they’re creating the atmosphere and emotions that make your celebration unforgettable.

36% of couples research costs and vendors even before getting engaged.
More than 50% of couples use video calls to connect with vendors, a number that has grown by 17% since 2019.

Here's what some of our incredible brides had to say this year:
"Central City Orchestra blew any and all expectations we possibly could have had out of the water! Lucy was the most accessible, responsive, organized, and encouraging band coordinator that we simply didn't know we needed... CCO truly made our special day customized, romantic, yet ELECTRIC, and we could not be more grateful to them for absolutely EVERYTHING!" - KATIE G.
"I cannot say enough good things about our experience with Robin-Banks and Central City Orchestra for our September, 2024 wedding! Katie is amazing and brought the best energy to our wedding. We had a pianist for our ceremony, a trio for our cocktail hour and the full band for our reception... Our dance floor was packed all night long and our friends and family haven't stopped talking about how great the band was. I would give more than 5 stars if I could - you can't go wrong with Robin Banks/Central City Orchestra!" - ELLIE H.
"We hired Central City Orchestra this past June 2024 for our wedding and it was one of the best decisions we made! Robin-Banks Entertainment did the guitar instrumentals for our ceremony, a jazz quartet for happy hour, and the 10-piece band for the reception dancing. They were so accommodating with our music preferences and wedding day timeline! Everyone was on the dance floor the whole night! I couldn't recommend them enough!" - SAVANNAH B.
