We have helped to raise tens of millions of dollars for charities across every sector of the public good: the arts, education, medicine, and scientific research. We believe that when patrons are entertained with the best in world-class comedy, celebrity MCs,and award-winning live music, they become even more connected to the cause. And we all know what that means. It means that a charity event or fundraising gala can become the best party of the year.
– Montell Jordan
Our team of booking liaisons, creative directors, and producers collaborate closely with each organization, institution, and initiative to build the vision of the evening. From there, we will curate the talent line-up with an eye on impact and evening segmentation, and secure the right entertainment. We can book high-level celebrities to host the evening or emcee the auction, and thought leaders to deliver the keynote message. And we’ll get everyone dancing with amazing bands that will raise the paddle and the roof.
The feedback from our fundraiser gala attendees has been phenomenal! Many people have mentioned that this was the most people danced and the latest the party has ever gone at this event (we've done the Kentucky Derby theme for about 5 years now, at the same location). The night of our event, we heard nothing but "wow, this band is really great!!!!"
... On a personal note, in coordinating with the band before and after the event, they were all very friendly, lovely individuals!
We had The Cheeseballs perform at our Disco Inferno gala and they totally rocked the house! We had pretty specific requests, and some songs that are not on their playlist, but they were able to accommodate our requests. Sarah was a pleasure to work with and the music was amazing. Thank you!
We worked with Jay Siegan Presents to book Notorious for the 2019 PNOC (Pacific Pediatric Neuro-Oncology Consortium Foundation) Gratitude Gala at Sweetwater Music Hall, Mill Valley! Our guests had the most incredible time dancing to Notorious and everyone commented about what an amazing band they are! So much fun, so much talent, such great energy! Both Notorious and the Jay Siegan Presents team were a true joy to work with! We are grateful for their contribution to making our gala a huge success and amazing experience for our guests. I can't recommend them enough!
JSP and Wonder Bread 5 have been a pleasure to work with. I've hired them on 5 separate occasions for fundraisers for cancer victims, and each time the band not only puts on a great show, the office staff makes the extra effort to assure everything is ready for the big day. It's been great using them because it is one less thing I need to worry about leading up to the day and can focus on fundraising efforts. Highly recommend JSP and Wonder Bread 5.
We hired Wonder Bread 5 for our 4th of July fireworks show and they absolutely rocked it! JSP was a wonderful organization to work with and responded quickly to any questions. The band showed up for radio interviews, did a meet and greet with our VIP section, and even allowed a few of us on stage for a special song. We are hiring them again next year!
The team at Jay Siegan Presents was great to work with for our fall gala benefitting Marin Charitable. We had booked Wonder Bread 5 for our Oct. 26th event. That day came and so did the power outages that struck all of Marin. We had to act quickly and cancel our event on that very day! Jay and his fabulous team worked in lockstep with us to rebook our event for a future date. We had a new date firmed up in less than 24 hours.
We had our event last night and I could not have been more pleased with the planning and communications prior to the event, the set up crew, and of course, Wonder Bread 5 knocked it out of the park with all the best 80s and 90s hits! Such a talented and engaging group of musicians! We have gotten so much positive feedback and would work with them in the future with great pleasure!
I'm happy to provide this reference for Jay Siegan and the staff. We booked Wonder Bread 5 for our Association convention at the Silverado Resort & Spa this past weekend. Every step of the planning went perfectly - great staff and preparation for our Gala Ball. The band rocked, and so do JSP. I will definitely hire them again.

Whether corporate, private, or public, all events fall into three primary categories: live, virtual, or hybrid. Before wrapping up, review each category and consider which types of corporate events are best suited for each. Many of the event types in our list can take place in person, virtually, or through a hybrid event. Corporate event planners and businesses can choose which types of corporate events best fit their needs, objectives, and budget.
During live or in-person events, the hosts, speakers, presenters, and audience members are all in the same physical space.
Although pop-up events occur, most live events occur on a specific date, at a designated time, and in a particular location. In-person corporate events include team retreats, company picnics, conferences, awards ceremonies, large-scale conventions, and many others.
Thanks to virtual meeting platforms, mobile apps, and easy-to-use streaming software, many corporate events can now take place remotely, including training sessions, business meetings, performance reviews, and more.
During virtual events,attendees and hosts participate in real time. Virtual presentations can also be prepared in advance, including a blend of recorded and live elements or entirely pre-recorded. Webinars and video conferences are a few of the most recognizable virtual event styles.

We've booked headliners for a performance in under 24 hours. Would we do it again? Absolutely. Ideally, we like to get started at least three months out from the event in order to dial in all the details with perfection.
Yes. We are proud to offer a nonprofit pricing schedule and strategy so that nonprofits get the best celebrity appearances, notable artists, comedians, and MCs for their galas. For the last 25 years, we have skillfully honed the process of working with talent’s established fees and presenting them with the best offer to secure bookings for nonprofits.
Here’s how it works: We bring the band, their sound system, and lights. There are additional fees to use the sound system for auctions and special announcements, customized on a case-by-case basis. We invite you to fill out our RFP (request for proposal), so that we can align your needs, and budget, and create a magnificent event for you.
Yes. We can be your partners to create an amazing gala. We provide not just live entertainment, but also affordable and concise additional support - from creative ideation to onsite logistics to virtual capture - ensuring that all the moving pieces are streamlined into an incredible live experience.
We sure can! We excel at booking celebrities for events and parties. If you wish to book a celebrity for a party or event, reach out to us with the date, location and nature of the event, and give us as many additional details as you can. An experienced Talent Liaison from our team will get back to you quickly, and help you explore options. We’ve booked celebrities for corporate events, social events, fundraisers, galas and countless other parties around the world. We look forward to connecting with you!
Tips are not required or expected, but they are appreciated by hard working musicians.If you feel inspired by the passion and energy they brought to your wedding, tipping is a lovely gesture. 10% - 20% is a common tip. You can give that in cash to the artist on site or send it to us as a payment and we distribute it directly to the band!
