The Company

01 — About Great Family Artists

Your biggest moments deserve our best entertainers — world-class musicianship, engineered for the moment.

Great Family Artists is a luxury event entertainment and production agency specializing in live wedding bands, brass and string ensembles, DJs and immersive performance for weddings, corporate events and private celebrations. Founded in 2017 by touring musicians Jordan Linit and Jonathan Huvard, the agency grew out of countless cross-country tours and collaborations — a tight-knit network of chart-topping, globally toured musicians who became more than colleagues. They became family.

We see every celebration as a reunion: our family of musicians blending with yours. Every program is designed around the room — custom setlists, band configurations and full production, so entertainment and atmosphere move as one. Based in New York and Denver, performing across the entire United States and at destination events worldwide.
