Klezwoods is a modern instrumental klezmer band based in New England who helps progressive wedding couples bring their Jewish and non-Jewish guests together on the dance floor with a rich tapestry of klezmer and adjacent music. For over 15 years, we’ve lit up dance floors at the Kennedy Center (Washington DC), Fenway Park (Boston), and Fairmount Water Works (Philadelphia), and we’d love to fire up yours!
Worried you might not get your entire guest list dancing, especially your non-Jewish guests?
We were built for one thing: getting every guest—Jewish or not—into the biggest hora of their lives to celebrate your marriage.
Are you a mixed-faith couple introducing Jewish customs to part of your new family? Have complex family dynamics around different levels of Jewish observances you’re trying to respect?
Our clarinetist and cantor Becky can help you through the entire process (ketubah, mikvah, liturgy, etc.).
If a white-glove experience from our first call to your final dance is important, book your free Discovery Call today to see how we can be the musical soundtrack for your big day!

Past Couples' Comments
Initially, we were a little worried whether all of our guests would dance a lot since not everyone knows klezmer. On the day of the wedding, people basically danced the entire time! You had a reputation for being very dance-oriented, and that is exactly what we got. On top of it, we felt ‘held’ throughout the entire planning process. Our guests were raving about the music…we would definitely recommend Klezwoods, especially if you love to dance!
Klezwoods [made] it the night of our dreams! Becky was amazing in helping us navigate everything from the band [to] the religious and legal aspects; she went above and beyond.
I can’t think of anything you all could have done to prepare better for our wedding.
At first we were concerned that Klezwoods music might be too specific, but in the end, so many guests said this was one of their favorite weddings! Some who joined [the hora] felt exhilarated whether they “knew what to do” or not. We loved how the band handled everything without us (at our request!), which was a big relief. We’d definitely recommend Klezwoods…the music was done perfectly.
