Linggo

Have you ever wondered why we're called "Linggo"? It's time for some lore 🌟 This band was born out of a Sunday Night house band, which began as the Aidan Miller trio, and was then passed along to Aaron Scoones some years later. Allegra was often asked to sit in with the Scoones iteration and eventually was asked to join permanently. The group was just advertised under Aaron Scoones' name, but they unofficially referred to themselves on stage as "The Sunday Band". In 2018, Aaron moved on from the project and the band agreed to rebrand. To keep with the Sunday theme, we settled on "Linggo" as an homage to Allegra's Filipino roots. Even though we don't gig on Sundays much anymore, we keep the name because it's fun and sentimental. Linggo has evolved over the years, but no matter the repertoire or lineup, we've always strived to find a balance between playing songs that we like to play and our audience will enjoy. We truly love what we do.

Part 2 - While E&D celebrated with their friends and family, the rest of our vendor team prepared for the evening’s festivities at their urban reception space. The reception was the opposite of the earlier festivities which perfectly expressed the dualities that exist in any relationship. Thankfully it had also stopped raining in the middle of the afternoon and as guests arrived they were warmly welcomed to leave their mark in the guestbook, enjoy a beverage at the mobile bar, and play a game or two at the mini vintage arcade before a vegan/gluten free pizza dinner was served. To top it all there were ice cream sandwiches and a live band to keep the festivities going. PS - if you’re thinking of pulling off a multi location event, it is possible you just need a little creativity, a lot of help, and a genius at timeline management (that’s me, if you hadn’t already guessed 😉) Venue: @fortcommon Catering: @virtuous_pie Photo: @kimjayphoto Bar: @thebubblebusco Rentals: @blackandwhiteeventrentals @pedersens @partymood Games: @quazarsarcade @toolpathdesign Band: @linggomusic Bulk Flowers: @rockrose.farm (repurposed from brunch)

☀️ August! ☀️ We have one community gig and two bar gigs coming up next month! Come hang out with us!

We are almost half way through the season and this year we are noticing more couples opting for live music for their ceremony or reception but if you’re undecided on what’s right for you, here is some food for thought: ✨Priorities & Budget: For some couples live music is a must but for others it’s a little lower on the priority list. Once you know where this sits on your list do some research and see if there is an amount you are comfortable spending and let that help you decide on when live music can be a part of your day. ✨ Community: From singing at ceremonies to DJ sets during dancing, you may be surprised to find that your family or friend circle may be waiting to jump on the chance to contribute to your day. Don’t be afraid to ask your community if they would be willing to play a special part in your day. ✨Location: sometimes your venue selection can help you decide if live music is a possibility. For example, if you have limited space a musical duo or DJ may be the best option instead of a large band. As always, you do you!
