Bluetone Jazz Collective was very easy to work with and helpful in providing song suggestions. They learned a special song for our first dance and even offered to emcee the night. They played a great mix of up beat and romantic songs that everyone could dance to. The music was the perfect volume so we could still hear everyone while talking, even with masks on. So many guests commented on how great the band was. Everyone in the band was so friendly and approachable. We would absolutely recommend them!
