Your wedding.
Your sound.

You don’t need to know the lineup. Describe the feeling: elegant, intimate, worldly, exciting. What’s the vibe? Drawing from a pool of amazing musicians throughout Northern California, I can help bring the music you’re imagining to life.

Jazz as the foundation.

From a welcome party or cocktail hour to a lively reception, the music can adapt to every part of your day. The ensemble can be tailored to the moment, with a repertoire that moves from classic jazz and timeless love songs to modern grooves, funk, pop, and Afro-Latin rhythms.

From one moment to the whole celebration.

Choose the moments where music and sound matter most.

01

Welcome party

Start the celebration early with live music and sound for speeches, bringing everyone together before the big day.

02

Ceremony

Live music or playback for the processional and recessional, with clear sound for every word that matters.

03

Cocktail

A live jazz ensemble to set the mood as guests mingle, connect, and settle into the celebration.

04

Dinner

Live music or your own playlist through dinner, with sound ready for toasts, speeches, and special guest performances.

05

Reception

When it’s time to dance, choose a live band or DJ from the network, or play your own playlist on a great sound system.

The Sea Ranch

  • Cocktail hour. A modern jazz quartet with a focus on funk and laid-back grooves.
  • Dinner. Background music throughout dinner, plus sound for the speeches.
  • Dancing. An indoor dance floor sound system with Spotify playback, no DJ required.

Wow is all we can say! We cannot recommend Lincoln and his quartet highly enough. They were the perfect choice for our wedding, and nearly a month later we are still having guests talk to us now about how impressed they were with the band! Thank you gents for being such an important and memorable part of our special day. And for anyone on the fence about working with these guys: in a world of grimacing at wedding-related price tags from food to flowers and everything in between, we can truly say that Lincoln and his band were worth every single penny!

Music you want to move to.

You don’t need a DJ to have a great party. Send me your playlist and I’ll provide the sound system to keep the dance floor moving.

You can also choose from a variety of live dance bands or hire a DJ from the network.

A beautiful day deserves great sound.

From the ceremony and dinner speeches to live music and the dance floor, I handle the sound throughout your day. Microphones, speakers, playback, backline, and guest performers are all coordinated in one place.

As both a musician and professional sound engineer, I take care of the technical side so you and your guests can simply enjoy the moment.

Lincoln Andrews

I’m a professional bassist, bandleader, and sound engineer based on the Mendocino Coast. I’ve spent years performing around the world and producing live events, from intimate jazz concerts to touring dance bands.

Before settling on the Mendocino Coast, I spent nearly a decade working as a sound engineer for music and corporate events throughout the San Francisco Bay Area. Now I’m happy to call the coast home, surrounded by an incredible natural environment and a wonderful community that values beautiful music.

For weddings, I bring these worlds together, helping couples find the right musicians while making sure everything sounds great from beginning to end.
