To stand out in the competitive and crowded wed-
ding music market, Jonas Pascua, founder and CEO of
Panache Entertainment, promises not just high-qual-
ity musicians, but unparalleled event synchronization,
unique custom arrangements — and a "performance
two-three times richer" thanks to "music written,
arranged and organized in a medley template to reduce
the lag time in between each song." A professional
violinist for 14 years and a business-school graduate,
Pascua has melded his creative passion (music) with his
grad-school major (marketing and corporate strategy)
to create a company with a virtuoso-level staff (which
includes string quartets, jazz ensembles, harpists, live
bands — like Cancel Monday Band, whose lead singer,
Kate Stechschulte, is shown here —and others) and a
knack for putting the client first — which should put
wedding planners and participants at ease. Prospective
clients can listen to samples and watch videos on the
company Web site. Best of all? They have a price-match
program. Panache Entertainment, Troy (800-991-0925;

Cart, can come up with for a wedding. Recognized for

selves on listening to their clients to personalize their

ultra-elegant or
