Weddings & private parties
A private concert in your garden
We’ve had wedding guests and birthday parties up and dancing in Switzerland, France and Greece, and all the way to Cuba. Since 2004 we’ve shaped each set around your guests, one song at a time. For a garden party we come eight, ten or twelve strong, bringing our instruments and, if you need one, a sound system.
Nolosé Salsa, a live salsa band, plays weddings, birthdays and anniversaries across French-speaking Switzerland.It plays indoors or out, with 8 to 12 musicians depending on the venue, and prices start at CHF 2,000. We can supply the equipment too: sound system and extra lighting. Quotes are free.
What the bride and groom wrote
Two reviews posted on Google after a wedding in January, word for word.
“We cannot recommend Nolose Band and Laurent highly enough. […] Stepping off the stage to teach the guests some basic salsa steps […] learning and performing our two wedding songs. My grandmother requested a cumbia at some point and they played it.”
“A magnificent band who made our wedding a night to remember forever. […] A legendary salsa experience.”

One evening, two tempos
Drinks and dinner
A smaller line-up and a gentle Cuban sound: the music keeps the room company without drowning out the conversation, or the best man’s speech.
The dance floor
The horns come out and the floor opens up. Salsa soon wins over the guests who’ve never danced it.
Before you say yes to the band
Which line-up suits a wedding?
Indoors, or for the drinks reception, the 8-piece line-up is often enough; outside, where there’s room, the larger orchestra comes into its own. Tell us about the venue and we’ll suggest the right size: send us a photo of the space, it always helps.
Do we need to arrange a sound system?
Garden, barn or village hall: we turn up with the sound system and lighting if you need them. Nolosé brings its own instruments either way.
How much should we budget?
From CHF 2,000. Three things shape the quote: the number of musicians (8 to 12), the journey to your venue, and who brings the sound system. Tell us about your party and we’ll send you a clear proposal, with no obligation.
Can we ask for particular songs?
Ask us early. We’ll go through the repertoire and the big moments of your evening (the first dance, a song that means something to you) and tell you honestly what we can play.
Tell us about your party
A date, a place and a rough headcount are plenty to start with. If you’d like to hear the band first, watch the band’s videos.
