Don’t look anywhere else

These guys were absolutely incredible and made my entire party. People were raving about the band days after this is an annual event for us now and we would never consider going with a different band. Thanks again to David and his team highly recommended.

Exactly what we needed!

The theme for our wedding was “New York City” so we wanted a jazz band to create the atmosphere. Everything went smoothly and David made sure we weren’t stressed out about anything. We shared our first dance to the greatest version of “Fly me to the Moon” I’ve ever heard. Everyone was raving about the music. These are amazing young talents who look good and sound good, and it felt like hiring real people not just a random wedding band. It made our wedding unique. Thanks David!!!

About

After a decade of performing as a pianist with various bands in the entertainment industry and understanding the importance of lending the right soundtrack to the special moments in our lives, I started my own talent agency featuring a roster of the most talented and thoughtful musicians in town.

Specializing in the sophisticated sounds of yesteryear and tomorrow, we will provide the best acoustic bands for your event (vocal jazz groups, piano/guitar trios, saxophone quartets, Latin/Bossa Nova ensembles, New Orleans-style bands, string quartets, and more!) and work with you to create the musical atmosphere you envision.

Additional booking notes

All we require is an outlet or power source – we bring all the amplifiers and microphones!
