10 Songs for Your Cocktail Hour

The live wedding band music that soundtracks a cocktail party or cocktail hour needs to be neutral enough to not overpower the pockets of conversations of your guests, but also nuanced enough to provide a texture and sets a tone so your guests sense a feeling just as much as hear the tunes. We love cocktail parties – the swankier, all the better.  Here are some of our favorites to play during that stemware-swirling mingling time:
