What a night!!!

Where do I begin in talking about how awesome this band was at our wedding!!! They were amazingly easy to work with and absolutely rocked all night!
Shiraz was an absolute pro. He was always available to talk ahead of the wedding and made sure the music and sound went smoothly all night.
They surprised us with an acoustic performance during the cocktail hour, which was amazing as well.

They played a ton of songs that we had requested and had a great line up songs for in between sets. They got a good read of the crowd and kept the dance floor rocking.

I would 100% recommend them to anyone who wants to have an awesome dance floor at their wedding. Our friends can’t stop talking about them.

Shiraz, thanks to you and the rest of the boys in Fat Tony Band and the Jade Monkeys. You really made our night extra special!

Rob and Katie, thank you so much for the very kind words! We had an absolutely amazing time at your wedding and the amount of energy in the room was unbelievable. Everyone in our band is going to be talking about that night for years to come, trust me!

It is always an honour to be chosen to play at a wedding, it's such an important occasion for everyone involved including family and friends. I'm so glad that we matched and exceeded your expectations and thanks to both of you for allowing us to be a part of your special day!

Lots of love and best wishes to both of you!

Great music, very Professional

I have used this band twice now, once for a birthday party and once for a corporate event. On both occasions, the band was exceptional. They showed up early to the venue to set up and engaged the crowd very quickly. Neither event was supposed to turn into a dance party, but both did, given the exceptional music and easy, casual rapport. I must specifically mention Shiraz, the drummer/vocalist, who always seems to know what to say to a crowd to get a smile/laugh. I would hire them again in a heartbeat, and I highly recommend them.

Fantastic!!!

The Jade Monkeys were great at reading the crowd and engaging a diverse audience at our memorial/fundraiser. Every band member played multiple instruments, adding great energy. Very professional and responded quickly to logistical challenges resulting in our event running smoothly with no stress for the organizers!

Fantastic to work with! Great band for all ages

We contracted the Jade Monkeys for a private function and they were fantastic! Great songs, talented musicians, wonderful sound mixing. Even the youth attending loved this band. I would hire again if I get the chance.

What to expect

Running an event featuring live music can seem simple.

“I heard about this great band that plays at a bar downtown…..”

Experience playing a private event - ZERO.

Uh oh.

Work with a band that hears you and brings our experience, respect and versatility to serve as your event ambassador, making memories for years to come. The Jade Monkeys are a supercharged 5 piece powerhouse made up of Saxophone, Guitar, Keyboards, Bass and Drums. Each of us sing, and we can easily perform a wide variety of musical styles guaranteed to keep each and every one of your guests entertained and engaged with our full, rich sound. We specialize in ensuring that all moving parts of the live music component of your event run smoothly and in perfect harmony, with NO surprises because we understand that even one flaw can prove to be catastrophic. Pub/bar bands are often unable to properly represent your brand and frankly does anyone have the patience to deal with that kind of stress?

A perfectly run event featuring a sophisticated, professional band that plays at perfect sound levels allows your guests to mingle, network, dance and make the positive impact you desire. “How was the food?” and “How was the band?” are the most common guest takeaways from 99% of all private events.

Our business philosophy is to provide talented and professional musicians to make sure our clients' events are fun and memorable -- and stress-free. Our attention to customer service and creating a personal relationship with clients before, during and after an event is unparalleled.

You have worked hard and likely spent months planning your event and the live music element must be flawless with attention to every last detail so everything runs smoothly. Initial planning, site visit, sound and lighting requirements, song choices and guest demographics are absolutely crucial with so many eyes and ears engaged during an event you have staked your reputation on.

We have worked on top-level performances all over the world. (The Blues Brothers, James Brown, Classic Albums Live, The Drifters & more) and coordinated concert logistics with such artists as Adele, Bryan Adams, Diana Krall, Sara Bareilles, Colbie Caillat, Harry Connick Jr., Neil Young, The White Stripes, Stevie Wonder, Josh Groban and Lang Lang.

What sets us apart? Exceptional, experienced musical talent; professional client service; genuine concern for our clients’ needs; and perfectly executed performances – at every event. We are extremely versatile and always personally tailor our set lists to our clients’ preferences.

A positive response for the band creates an unparalleled atmosphere for moving your business forward—everyone is clapping, singing along, dancing and smiling. Great music creates an atmosphere that also encourages content sharing and increases your event and company’s visibility through social media (ie. video/picture sharing through digital channels).

Our current clients include: MLSE, Magna International, Nestle, Special Olympics, NFL, PepsiCo, Bell, Nokia, New Era, Nissan, CTV, Peel Regional Police Association, Hockey Canada, Buffalo Bills, Canadian Armed Forces, The Grey Cup, Toyota, RBC, CIBC, TSN, CNE, Square Inc., Google, Apple, Blue Mountain Resort, Toronto Blue Jays, Toronto Raptors, CPA, PWC as well as many event planners and private individuals for weddings, landmark birthdays and anniversaries.

What some of our clients are saying:

“The Jade Monkeys are not only a great band that appeals to a wide demographic, but they are so very professional and they always deliver what they promise. As an event planner in Toronto, I have the opportunity to see and book a lot of talent and they are second to none.”
Suzanne Turnbull MCNABB-ROICK EVENTS

“Thank you for your help in creating a special and memorable wedding day this past Saturday. Your professionalism, patience and flexibility with the last minute changes on Saturday regarding pool access for setup, and then the challenge of the weather…did not go unnoticed, and was appreciated more than you will ever know. The wedding would not have been the same without you, your band and your crew and for that I am truly thankful. It was a pleasure working with you and I look forward to working with you again!” Jodi Gagne SIMPLY PERFECT WEDDINGS, TORONTO

You have one chance to get an event right and make an impact with no regrets. Selecting the right band is critical.

We welcome the opportunity to work with you.
