Our string trio was amazing. They played beautifully and I couldn't be happier with the quality of my ceremony music. They even adapted one of our favorite songs and it sounded great. I highly recommend the Panache Group.

We had an amazing violinist and cellist play for the ceremony. The music was wonderful and took the entire event to another level. Great to work with, extremely responsive and professional.

If you want beautiful unique music I would highly recommend the Panche Group!! They were incredible. From the start of my process speaking to Lauren via email was nothing but professional and always such quick responses. The music selection is so large with such different and modern songs which we were looking for. Including the classic songs as well. They even allow you to pick something you want that's not on the list. We picked "The Rain Song" by Led Zeppelin for our processional and it was awesome. For my entrance "Romance" by shostakovich. They played U-2' the Beatles, Elton John etc. They had played for my friends wedding and I knew then I had to book them for ours. Everyone raved about them! I would highly recommend them! Jonas was a pleasure to work with:)

Professional, caring, and amazing are just a few words that I would use to describe Panache entertainment. Though I am sure they have many clients and are busy, we never felt like it. Our DJ treated our wedding like he had no other business in the world but us and our special day. He was attentive, scheduled meetings, and was kind to not only us in the meetings, but to all of our guests the day of. The music flowed with the party and he had a talent for reading the crowd to keep the energy going. He went the extra mile on helping out with what the other vendors were doing and making our special day truly amazing. The price was right and the service exceeded expectations!
The Panache Group says:
Thanks Katherine! We're glad you were happy with DJ Zac - I know he'll be excited to see this!

We used The Panache Group for both our string quartet and the DJ. We were thrilled with them! I worked directly with Lauren who was an excellent communicator and willing to work with us any way she could! The string quartet was beautiful and played all the songs we requested. I was very nervous about having a DJ, as I typically find DJs to be cheesy and unimpressive. This was not the case with The Panache Group. Our DJ was an excellent MC for the evening and played exactly what we requested. He kept the flow of the night going with great ease! Thrilled! :)

Panache and DJ Zac were the best vendors we worked with. They followed up with us without us ever having to reach out to them. They were VERY professional and Zac was a joy to work with. Guests raved that it was the best dance party and wedding they'd ever been to. Zac was able to transition through all of our requests (the bride and groom were very picky about our songs :)) and play guest requests while keeping everyone on the dance floor all night. I would HIGHLY recommend!

Jonas has himself quite a team - from photography, ceremony music, to DJ, everyone in the Panache group is a true professional and passionate about what they do. My guests raved about the string quartet, and I loved that I had the option of choosing more contemporary music to make our day representative of us, while still having the elegant sound a string quartet brings to a wedding. I walked down the aisle to Sweet Child of Mine by GnR and my new husband and I had our recessional to Viva la Vida by Coldplay, it was perfect! You won't be disappointed!

i am honestly quite surprised at all the positive reviews of panache music. perhaps because i'm not in the detroit area and used a chicago-based quartet instead? i had hired a string quartet for my reception and sent a list of songs that i wanted played - enough for 4 hours of music. the quartet seemed to play things that were not on the list and had a lot of sheet music missing for songs i wanted. they also forgot to bring the sheet music to a song i had SPECIFICALLY PAID FOR to be arranged. i was overall extremely disappointed in the service and have requested a refund for the song that i had paid for. the music they did play was lovely and all the guests enjoyed it - but i was not happy that they did not follow my detailed notes. as we were all getting ready to leave and pack up was when they started to play the more modern songs that i had wanted played during the reception. i would strongly caution anyone considering using panache for a string quartet. i think if you do want a string quartet - to hire a different service where you are able to work with the musicians directly during the planning process. Panache is more of a "middle" man and i know i personally will not ever consider using a service like this in the future. i would recommend them if you do not care what sort of songs are played and just want some lovely music - but if you are specific like me, consider other options.

We used Panache Entertainment for our ceremony music at our July 31, 2011 wedding at the Detroit Yacht Club. The violinist, Jonas and the cellist, Will were wonderful. Some selections they played Vida la Vida by Coldplay and Don't Stop Believin by Journey as well as traditional music for the processional and we loved it. The guests also loved it and are still talking about it. They were prompt, friendly and just overall great! They were also on the preferred vendor list for the DYC. Booking everything was a breeze on their website.

The people in the office were great to work with. The process was very easy to book and choose music and the music selections were extremely varied. We loved having both classical and modern songs played by a string quartet!
At the event, the music was good. We (my sister and I) definitely heard some squeaky strings (and having grown up playing cello, violin and viola, we know what squeaky strings sound like and it's not what you want to hear as you are waiting to walk down the aisle) but they played all of the songs we had selected and cued them perfectly.
My other concern was the vulture-ish quality of the musicians. At least two of them lived in town, close to public transportation, but asked us to pay their $25 parking fee. They also swooped in on the leftover appetizers as people were leaving cocktail hour for dinner (without even waiting for everyone to have cleared out). My wedding coordinator also came over to me during dinner to tell me that the musicians were asking for ($55) vendor meals. They only worked from 6 to 8:30, and were free to go home at that point (or stay downtown with free parking and enjoy dinner with their tip money), so I'm not sure why they expected vendor meals... It certainly wasn't something in their contract or anything they had asked for before the event.

No complaints. We hired a solo pianist. He was on time and played all the music we requested and knew his cues. We were able to do all of the music planning online.

It was so easy and stress free to book with this group. Chris was so responsive he returned phone calls quickly and was a huge help! I wanted to walk down the aisle to a song that is not traditional, so they created an arrangement especially for me at a very reasonable rate. The pianist was so talented and professional. Using their online tools was so easy I could take care of my song selection at my convience. These guys are great!

Very talented and beautiful. Played the songs I wanted.I just wish they were louder. That may be because my ceremony was outdoors, though.

We booked the Panache Group about 6 weeks before our wedding because we were thinking of doing a Ipod wedding but after thinking about it we weren\'t sure about the logistics of it all. We got an amazing package deal for cememony musicians (violin and cello) and a DJ. All were amazing, played what we requested, arrived on time and very professional. All of my guests were very impressed. Best decision made in the planning process. Well worth the money!

Panache is a great choice to find your ceremony musician from! We had a solo guitarist from their company come and do our ceremony music and he did a beautiful job! I loved all the music played at our ceremony and it really added a nice touch! Panache is awesome for their responsiveness and professionalism, they get back to in a very timely manner, and have an easy to use website to select your music choices, give cues for the ceremony, and read your contract. Everything about it was a breeze, and they are awesome at answering any questions. I am very happy we used Panache!!

We used Panache for our ceremony music. We worked with Jonas who was extremely professional and helpful. Their website is very user friendly and allows you to make your selections online, which we really liked. Huge music selection and lots of samples too. We went with a string trio and were extremely pleased; they arrived on time, looked great and sounded amazing! Everything was played right on time and our guests loved that they did U2 and Coldplay! Very unique and it really gave our ceremony the ambiance I wanted. Very happy!
