Bernstein Bard Trio

Bernstein Bard Trio is a wedding band based in New Paltz, NY, offering live music for ceremonies and receptions. Led by brothers Mark and Steve Bernstein on vocals, guitar, and mandolin, along with Robert Bard on upright bass, the trio has been performing for over 15 years. They frequently hold shows throughout the East Coast and include travel expenses in their wedding packages. The band specializes in a diverse repertoire spanning swing, Latin, waltz, tango, reggae, pop, and folk music. They work with couples to curate custom setlists and are willing to learn new songs that hold special meaning. Additional musicians can be added to the ensemble for fiddle, clarinet, saxophone, and drums to expand the sound. Their wedding packages include live music for both ceremonies and receptions, music during breaks, MC services, sound and PA system, and trial performances. The trio collaborates with couples throughout the planning process to develop setlists tailored to their musical preferences and celebration style.
