Jewish Weddings Elevated 

Jacob's Ladder simchas and weddings is now brought to you by New England Simcha Band!

Having performed at simchas across both traditional and innovative Jewish communities, we understand not just the music, but the flow of a Jewish wedding—how to shape each moment so your celebration feels cohesive, elevated, and unforgettable.

What sets us apart is our range and versatility. We honor the classics—bringing energy and authenticity to beloved hora staples like Od Yishama and Yasis Alayich—and then, without missing a beat, we can shift the entire room into high gear with crowd favorites like “I Want You Back,” “Mr. Brightside,” “Sweet Caroline,” or even a bluegrass-infused “Cotton Eye Joe.”

Our musicians are among the best in the business—seasoned performers who know how to read a room, build energy, and deliver a packed dance floor from the first set to the last.

New England Simcha Band is a collective of musicians in the Boston area, with many of our musicians having performed as apart of Jacob's Ladder, either for our concerts or simchas. Visit our new website below!

Testimonials

Jacob's Ladder, and their band leader Ariel, are the most amazing, magical and EXCELLENT group of musicians, and we were so incredibly lucky to have them play our wedding. Throughout the whole process Ariel was very responsive, great at communicating, and flexible. We were looking for a twist on a traditional Klezmer band, and Jacob's Ladder was all that and more - we had so many people come up to us and rave about their incredible musical talent and energy. Their hora set was electric, and it got everyone, all generations, out on the dance floor, and it will truly be one of the best memories of our lives.  They also played a modern set with songs that we requested, which were beautifully arranged. We highly, highly recommend Jacob's Ladder - they are the most lovely people and enormously talented musicians.
