About

The GOLD COAST ORCHESTRA was created to serve the most discerning and sophisticated hosts of elegant weddings, corporate events, mitzvahs, and other exclusive private parties. The elite 11-piece ensemble (smaller versions available) includes multiple vocalists to authentically cover every musical style, as well as a three-piece horn section. For those who appreciate the finer things, the GOLD COAST ORCHESTRA is one of the most sought after premium bands in the tri-state area.

"Music makes the party and the GOLD COAST ORCHESTRA makes the music your guests will remember and talk about for years to come,” bandleader and drummer Michael Kohn said. “We get your celebration started and keep it flowing and energized until the grand finale. We pride ourselves in providing the perfect soundtrack for a truly unforgettable experience that will be treasured for a lifetime.”

Far more entertaining than the average old-school, clichéd bands of the past, the group offers an engaging style with high-energy performances to transform your next function into a spectacular event.

The dynamic ensemble performs everything from the luxurious sounds of smooth jazz, to contemporary top 40-dance music, as well as electrifying rock and roll, and specialty ethnic material. There are no watered-down, generic versions of songs, just soulful performances true to the original recordings, with every style passionately presented.

This gracious boutique organization supplies an unrivalled level of pre-event planning, painlessly guiding you through the entire process to fulfill your vision for that special day.

Gold Coast Orchestras Elevated Our Celebration

From our first consultation with Mike to the final note of the evening, Gold Coast Orchestras delivered a level of sophistication, artistry, and professionalism that exceeded every expectation we had for our wedding day.
The ceremony music was breathtaking, and the cocktail hour was just as elegant.
During the reception, GCO demonstrated an extraordinary range, bringing undeniable energy to the dance floor as they read the crowd impeccably.
Their vocalists were exceptional — polished, expressive, and capable of performing everything from contemporary hits to classic standards with equal finesse. Our first dance was performed with such emotional depth that it became one of the most cherished moments of our entire evening.
Equally impressive was the professionalism in communication leading up to the party and helping to develop and execute our timeline.
The compliments from our guests just keep coming!
They transformed our wedding into an unforgettable celebration. We give them our highest and most heartfelt recommendation!

Best Band Ever! Crushed the Dance Floor!!

The Gold Coast Orchestra absolutely crushed at our wedding! They made our party a huge success and a fun, worry-free night! Mike was great to work with because he cares about every bride and groom.  He was responsive, attentive, a complete pro, and a great emcee, guiding the party from start to finish.

Unforgettable Dance Floor Magic!

Hiring The Gold Coast Orchestra for our wedding was the most crucial decision to make our wedding a home run! We first saw them at a friend’s wedding last year and were blown away—we knew right then and there we had to have them for our big day. They were our first choice after signing with our venue, and they exceeded every expectation!
From the moment they started playing, the dance floor was PACKED all night long! Their high-energy music and incredible entertainment kept everyone dancing and smiling—from young kids to grandparents. They nailed every song, seamlessly mixing classics with current Top 40 hits. They also paid close attention to our requests and don’t-play list, creating the perfect vibe for our celebration.
During our search, we looked at other "Big Agency" bands, and although they were way more expensive, they didn’t come close to what Gold Coast delivered. They were a dream to work with leading up to the event, super professional, and made the planning process easy and stress-free.
If you’re looking for a band to keep your guests raving and your dance floor packed, look no further than The Gold Coast Orchestra. I can’t recommend them highly enough! Book them NOW—you won’t regret it!
