About

Forget everything you know about cheesy cover bands. We are real band of five professional musicians that bring youth, energy, and power to every gig we play. Our members have been featured on TLC's Four Weddings, The OC & Party of Five, we are veteran masters at the art of killing it. Our set lists rely heavily on the best songs from our favorite musical genres: the new wave 80's, the rocking 60's and some the best bands of today. In addition to the band, we also provide a FULL DJ service between sets and bring a full, pro light rig. You provide the venue and The Candle will light up your event.

Check our website for reviews and our songlist -- we learn a song for your wedding at no extra charge.

I cannot begin to describe how awesome We, Unity Candle was. We used them for dinner music, emceeing, and as a live band during the reception. Mason was very responsive and flexible, adding in a "happy birthday" for a guest of ours late in the game. I began to feel unwell during dinner, and so we asked the band to start the dancing, and we wound up doing our first dances later on. It flowed so smoothly it was like we had planned it that way!

In addition, their live music is so good, I had multiple guests tell me that had to look over and make sure it was a band playing, not a recording! I only wish I had felt well enough to dance the entire night away with the rest of my guests! (Some people demanded an encore after time was up! They refused to leave the dance floor!)

All in all, you will not a find a more professional, flexible, fun, and amazing band for your wedding! And they play real rock music, none of that brassy, jazzy, "wedding" stuff. Thanks guys! You're the best!

When my wife and I were deciding on music for our wedding, we knew we wanted a band because we forged our relationship on many a date to a live music show. When it came to choosing a band, our objective was to find one that had a really dynamic song list that included Elvis, The Pixies, ELO, Hall & Oates, The Beatles--songs that offbeat people like us love. We also wanted one that wasn't going to break the bank, as several of the bands we contacted STARTED at $7k.

When we stumbled onto We, Unity Candle, we were blown away. They had exactly the song list we wanted and they fit into our budget. We knew they were our band the minute we looked at the song list. What we didn't know right away is that they were also some of the most professional vendors we were going to work with.

These guys did such an amazing job of honoring every request we put in front of them. They know how to do a wedding. During their set breaks, one of the guys put together an amazing DJ set to keep the party rocking. There was never a dull moment. I did not see one attendee to our wedding who was not dancing their ass off, and that is exactly what we were looking for. At the end of the night, my 60+ year old uncle gave me a big hug and said to me, "This band is F-ING AWESOME." I couldn't have put it better.

After searching far and wide, I found EXACTLY what I was looking for in We, Unity Candle. Their repertoire included the precise eclectic combination of my favorite artists, and they even learned a new song for our first dance, which I had never dreamed would be played live. There was a lot of communication with the band in advance, and having them run the ceremony music in addition to cocktail hour and dinner music was completely stress-free. Every single time a song started playing, I thought to myself, "I love this song!" Of course I loved every song because the band honored our wants and requests (of both things we did and did NOT want to hear). On your "special day," you shouldn't have to hear the "Cha Cha Slide" against your will or "Single Ladies" during the bouquet toss if you don't want to. I cannot recommend this band enough. Also, the guys are super cool and fun yet professional—and polite!
