Great band!

This band was a lot of fun and very professional! We got lots of compliments from our guests and staff/volunteers. The band was accommodating before the event and even helped our volunteers move our decor to a location that wouldn't be covered up by the band. We were very happy to have them at our event and would have them back in a heartbeat!

Perfection

We could not be happier with the Bluetone Jazz Collective! We had a group of four really amazing musicians who I wish I had more time to spend with during our wedding. Such engaging, friendly people who created the perfect vibe for our winter wedding at Jasper Winery. Using GigSalad was a breeze and I can’t wait for a reason to hire the Bluetone Jazz Collective again!

Lefstad Su wedding

This group did an AMAZING job playing our wedding reception. Nothing but wonderful memories created. They learned all the songs I requested and made the first dance SO special with La Vie En Rose. We were all impressed and would definitely recommend!!

Amazing

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!
