Packages & lineups

One band. Solo to full stage.

Bread & Butter scales to the event — and to the room, the budget, and the moment. Here's every shape, side by side.

Bread & Butter performing as a trio

The Trio

3 piece

A compact live setup that reads the room. Great for the parts of the night that need real music but not a full dance floor — a flexible song list, a small footprint, and three players who lock in.

Cocktail hours, welcome parties, restaurants, intimate events
Guest count
Up to ~75 guests
Typical use
Ceremonies · cocktail hours · dinner sets · restaurants

Bread & Butter as an expanded band with additional players

Expanded Band

6-8 piece

Multi-location weddings, unusual venues, ceremony + cocktail + reception

Not sure where you land? Most weddings and corporate nights book the Core 5-Piece. Bigger rooms go Expanded. Odd timelines go Custom. When in doubt, just ask.
