Ratzon Orchestra brings live Jewish music to life — from the energy of a wedding dance floor to the warmth of a kumzitz circle. Based in the tri-state area, performing worldwide.
Beautiful, fully a cappella performances for Shabbat, Yom Tov, Sefirat HaOmer, and other occasions where instruments are not permitted. Soulful vocal arrangements that bring the same ruach and energy as a full orchestra.

Optional Add-On · Beyond the Band
Sound & Production Separate Add-On, Quoted on Top
Please note
Sound — PA, live mixing, engineers, and stage gear — is not included in the standard band booking. It's an optional add-on through a third-party sound company, coordinated under our auspices and quoted as a separate line item at additional cost. Many clients prefer this for the convenience of one point of contact; others bring their own sound vendor — both are fine.
If you'd like us to coordinate the sound for you, we can spec and arrange complete sound and production through trusted third-party vendors — whether it's an a cappella group, an electronic setup, a full band in concert, or a hybrid format. This service is quoted separately from the band itself.
We handle the coordination with our sound partners so you don't have to source another vendor on your own. The result: one point of contact, one clean setup, one polished sound — matched to the size and style of your event — with the sound cost itemized clearly alongside the band.
🎙️
Professional PA Systems
Sized to your venue — intimate ballroom to outdoor concert. Add-on.
Mics, monitors, DI boxes, cabling — all of it handled. Add-on.
🎧
A Cappella & Electronic
Specialty rigs for vocal-only events or fully electronic setups. Add-on.
One Point of Contact · Quoted Separately
Want us to handle the sound too?
Tell us about your event — venue, expected guest count, format. We'll spec the right rig with our sound partners and quote it as a separate add-on alongside the band. You're also welcome to bring your own sound vendor.
Want a chamber ensemble at your wedding, chuppah, dinner, or special occasion? Strings, harp, flute, and more — from 3 pieces up to a 30-piece ensemble. We've got a dedicated page with clips so you can hear the sound.
We can also book your photography and videography under our auspices — working with trusted professionals so the music, the moments, and the memories all come together seamlessly.

Kind Words
What Families Say
The music was amazing and inspiring! It set the whole tone for the wedding.
Leslie SarousiBride
We were extremely impressed with the amount of time spent to ensure that Leslie and Alex had the perfect music and what they wanted to hear versus what would be easy for you and the band. You also included a nice blend of American style music to complement the Israeli for the mix of guests we had. The music was tailored to our needs. The level of excellence and professionalism could not have been better.
Jane SpindelMother of the Bride (Leslie's wedding)
The sign of a truly great job is when there are no complaints about the performance. We didn't hear even one. The music was fantastic, and the customer service was definitely tops.
Josh & Samantha F.Bride and Groom
Fantastic music for the Jewish soul with the finest orchestra musicians.
Rav Hershel ReichmanFather of the Bride • Rosh Yeshiva, Yeshiva University
Never have I been to an affair where the sound was so well controlled. Your choices of songs were great — the songs we asked for were played front and center in the first dance, not lost somewhere in the evening.
Yaakov R.Father of the Bride
Ratzon Orchestra did a fantastic job with our wedding! Jeremy was a pleasure to work with. He understood our needs and exceeded our expectations!
Melanie KuglerBride
What an incredible band. We couldn't have been happier. Thanks so much, Jeremy.
Dan KuglerGroom
Jeremy made our wedding the wedding of our dreams. He meticulously chose every member of his band to play on our special day, and it was a hit! Every guest could not stop talking during and after the party about how awesome the band was and how fun the music was. We had so many different types of guests, but Jeremy was able to play all kinds of music and everyone was so happy!
Michael GertnerGroom (Michael & Lauren's wedding)
I received many compliments concerning you and your orchestra. During the seuda, a friend came up to me to say that he loved your band's volume level because he could actually participate in conversations during the sit-down. Another friend said she liked the variety of tunes you and your band played — chasidish, then pop, then Israeli, etc. Wishing you success as a musician and as the exemplary human being you are.
Ira ZimmermanFather of the Groom
All of our guests had only positive things to say about the band and loved the energy of the dancing.
Michelle GrilliBride
We truly enjoyed your orchestra and it made the simcha that much more exciting and haimish. People came up to me giving compliments about your band. We are very thrilled with your dedication and hard work toward our family and our simcha.
Elise & DavidParents of the Bride/Groom
A special yasher koach to you and your band for the amazing job you did at our wedding. You sounded great and we are getting non-stop positive feedback from everyone who heard you.
Shlomo SchwarzbardGroom
We wanted to thank you so much for being such a big part of making our simcha so special. We have such incredible memories of it being the most fun and meaningful day of our lives. We and our guests all danced so much and the chuppah music was so beautiful and sentimental for us. The volume of the music was perfect — not too loud so we could hear conversations but still felt lively. We are so grateful to have made such a nice friend.
Natan & Miriam AlperBride and Groom

Use the memo: Deposit M/D/YYYY (e.g. Deposit 6/15/2026). Then pick your date below and schedule a call.
If using PayPal, please select Friends & Family so the full amount lands.
If using the card site, please select the option to help cover the processing fees — rounded here to 3%. Much appreciated.
A non-refundable deposit reserves your date — any upcoming weekday or Sunday. Shabbos, Yom Tov, and Tisha B'Av (9 Av — Godwilling soon to become a Yom Tov of rejoicing with the coming of Moshiach!) are excluded for any band booking. For a cappella, since it's halachically permissible to sing without instruments on Shabbos and Yom Tov, a-cappella bookings are allowed for Shabbos and Yom Tov (Tisha B'Av is still off limits for booking a performance).* Book up to a year out. The deposit amount scales with band size, starting at $1,000 for up to 5 pieces. Final pricing is always discussed directly — we factor in day of the week, location, hours, and what you envision.
*If you're considering an a-cappella kumzitz on a sensitive day, please consult a competent rav first.
🏨 Want Jeremy & Ratzon Orchestra to perform closer to Shabbos? — tap to open
If there's suitable accommodation right where the event is — the simcha held at a hotel, a hotel right near the venue, or a private home nearby where I could comfortably stay — my availability opens up considerably for performing closer to Shabbos: a little pre-Shabbos ruach as Friday winds down, or a musical havdalah on Motzei Shabbos. A musical havdalah is a lovely post-Shabbos performance — a few soulful moments as Shabbos departs that carry its spirit and calm gently into the week ahead.
Similarly, if sound gear is booked by a third-party sound company — either arranged under my auspices or on your end — so I'm not personally shlepping equipment, even more of the time around Shabbos becomes available, with the same warmth and care.
As a Shabbos-observant musician and bandleader, I'll work out the exact timing with you personally so it flows smoothly and beautifully for everyone. Just let me know what you have in mind — the accommodation, and who's handling the sound — and we'll plan a lovely flow together.
Mention the details in your booking note or message and we'll take it from there.
Your deposit is fully guaranteed. Once your date is reserved, Godwilling you will have a Ratzon Orchestra band on that day — either I'll be there personally, or I'll book the right musicians for you under my auspices. I've built and worked with a deep network of seasoned, top-tier players over many years, and I personally hand-pick every musician based on your preferences and the feel of your event. Same standard, same care, every time.
What the deposit does: it holds your date — nothing more, nothing less. The full balance, exact band makeup, hours, sound/photo/video add-ons, and any special requests are all worked out directly between you and the band operator after the deposit is in. No final number is locked in until we've talked it through together.
The deposit is non-refundable but is credited toward your event's final balance. Final pricing depends on band size, format, and any additions like sound, photo/video, or on-site recording — all discussed by phone or email, never on this page.
Step 1 · Pick how you're booking
Two paths, depending on what you need. Pick one, and the date picker will show only the days that work for it.
A Cappella on Shabbos or Yom Tov — how the payment works
When the event falls on Shabbos or Yom Tov, your deposit and any final payment are for the preparation and the up-front commitment to be there — not as wages for singing on the holy day itself. The singing on the day is offered l'shem shamayim.
Strictly voice — no instruments of any kind. If you'd like to talk through the halachic framing with your rav first, reach out before depositing.
Your peace of mind — 24-hour acceptance window
Since gigs and musical engagements booked through the site are a step less personal than a direct conversation, every site-booking gets a 24-hour confirmation window for me to personally check the date and lock things in. If anything — scheduling, halacha, the right players for the night — needs me to redirect the booking, you'll hear from me within 24 hours and get a full refund. After 24 hours your date is officially confirmed and the deposit is non-refundable as described above.
Naturally, if a deposit comes in during a 2- or 3-day Yom Tov (or back-to-back Shabbos + Yom Tov), the 24-hour clock simply starts the first chol hour after Yom Tov ends. Either way you're covered — my goal is to make sure every event booked here gets the same care as one we'd plan over the phone.
We auto-cross-reference with Hebcal. Band/instrumental mode blocks Shabbos (Friday sundown – Saturday night), Yom Tov, and Tisha B'Av.Check this date on Hebcal ↗
We strongly recommend at least 5 pieces. If you'd still like smaller, pick here — we'll work it out together.
Strings / Chamberoptional add-on
Optional strings/chamber add-on — $1,000 for 3 pieces, +$250 each piece beyond. See clips & examples →
* These deposit amounts are for booking online through the site. If we speak directly, pricing can flex with the particulars of your event — venue, timing, distance, format, sound & staging needs, and what you envision. Final balance is always worked out together over a call.
