"Geoff and band thank you for making our big day a truly memorable night! I've lost count of the Facebook posts that stated that you guys were the best band at a wedding they had ever seen.... Including their own weddings!! My mum said it felt more like a concert than a wedding and a mate stated at the time he had never seen so many people on a dance floor at a wedding so early! A special thanks for the fantastic rendition of Shelley's favourite song - Groovin by The Rascals.... You earnt me huge brownie points for surprising her with that one! Thanks again and when we have a big anniversary party, don't be surprised if you get a call from us!!! Thanks to you and all the band again!!!!! Brett & Shelley."

Everyone from my 90 year grandmother a 4 year little girl loving the opportunity you gave her to sing was just lovely; the music spanning all generations. Every one of our guests commented on how talented and how great the music was and how much they enjoyed themselves. You made a very special day even more special, everyone dancing all night long!"

Right from the very first song, we were thrilled. So many people came up to say how good the band was and I know several took the band’s business card. We thoroughly recommend them and would love to use them again, for a party or anniversary!"

Band line up options
We are often asked what is the “normal” format of a Jewish wedding. The simple answer is that there isn’t one.
Any wedding is a special event designed to meet the requirements of a bride and groom as they come together on their special day and a Jewish wedding is the same.
Your Jewish wedding can be as traditional or contemporary as you desire. We can help you mix traditional Jewish dances with contemporary dances and secular music.
You as the bride and groom should choose what to include in your special day based on how traditional the wedding festivities will be.
Modern couples may decide to devote a part of their Jewish wedding reception music to participating in classic traditional dances.
This decision will often rest upon the couple’s own wishes, requests from the family or the number of guests who are familiar with more traditional Jewish wedding dances.
If you discuss your wishes and feelings with us then we can help you decide on the best format for your Jewish wedding.
Music for the Chuppah Ceremony
For the Chuppah ceremony many clients like to have traditional, live music which will normally come in the form of a duo or a trio.
Traditionally this would be a clarinet, accordion and double bass. Getting the music right for the Chuppah is paramount and our repertoire is always selected with great care.
City Lights Showband's specialist Klezmer Trio are a traditional Jewish music band can play 15 to 20 minutes while your guests arrive to be seated.
They can play music throughout the ceremony where requested and at the end of the ceremony while the guests adjourn to the drinks reception.
The band is acoustic and therefore mobile allowing them to play their instruments whilst leading the guests into the reception room and then carry on with a Simcha set of music.
Bar or Bat Mitzvah party
As an experienced party band we can provide the required blend of music and entertainment for your Bar Mitzvah or Bat Mitzvah party.
We are competent in performing a large selection of traditional Israeli music for dancing and can provide written testaments from previous clients confirming that we are well-versed in the formalities of Jewish events.
We will provide a fun and exciting evening with songs to keep the younger generation entertained, whilst maintaining the balance so that you, your family and your friends can enjoy themselves too.
Our versatility enables us to perform not only Jewish music but songs from the 1950’s right through to today’s chart hits, liaising closely with you from booking up to the event in order to ensure that we provide you with an appropriate combination of live music and entertainment that you and your guests will really enjoy.
Our extensive playlist includes our main playlist plus a selection of Israeli music suitable for your event.
