Destination Weddings
World-class entertainment that travels — from Martha's Vineyard to the Caribbean and beyond.
Overview
Music that shapes the night.
We have been performing at destination celebrations for decades, from long-time residencies on Martha's Vineyard to trans-Atlantic crossings and Caribbean events. We handle the logistics so you can enjoy the party.
Martha's Vineyard
Proud members of the Martha's Vineyard Chamber of Commerce since 1994. We know the island's venues intimately.
Travel & Logistics
We are experienced in national and international travel with all the professional gear, backup instruments and stage plots your venue requires.
Flexible Configurations
Scale from an intimate acoustic trio for a beachside ceremony to a full 13-piece for a black-tie tented reception.
Local Coordination
We work directly with your planner and venue to make sound, staging and timing effortless.
In Their Words
"The Jon Bates Band was by far our favorite vendor to deal with during the entire wedding planning process. Jon was not only professional, but also extremely positive during the whole process."
