The Best!!

Blue Wave Band was crucial to achieving the wedding of our dreams. We wanted the dance floor to be alive and packed from the first song to the very last, and they delivered!! Not only were they A++ day of (with ceremony sound, MC during the dinner and toasts, and full band on the dance floor), they were incredibly professional and easy to work with leading up to the event. As a type A bride, this made my life so much easier and calmer. I can't thank them enough.

Wedding Band Review

I had my wedding at Waverley Country Club on Saturday, July 26, 2025 and we hired the Blue Wave Band for our wedding and they were phenomenal! To last song of the night, they were professional and incredibly talented. Marc worked closely with us to tailor the setlist to our tastes just for our big day. The music was flawless—everything from the romantic ceremony pieces with the strings to the upbeat reception dance hits that kept our guests entertained and on the dance floor. So many of our guests came up to us raving about the band and asking where we found them. Their energy, sound quality, and stage presence were top-notch. You can tell they love what they do, and it made all the difference! If you’re looking for a live band that will elevate your wedding to the next level, hire Blue Wave Band!. Thank you again for making our night unforgettable!

A Wedding of a Lifetime

My wife and I hired Marc because he was recommended highly by The Knot website. We were very pleased by his performance and knowledge of music. He is very professional, dressed the part and our evening went off without a hitch, (pun definitely intended). He immediately assessed our guests and knew exactly what to play to make sure we had an incredible reception. I recommend his services without any reservations. I would hire him/Blue Wave Band for any and all dance party/ reception needs without a second thought.

Blue Wave Band: A Seamless and Stunning Musical Experience

From the very first consultation with Annie to the final note played at our Space Needle wedding, Blue Wave Band delivered an absolutely exceptional musical experience. Planning a wedding, especially at a unique venue like the Space Needle, can be daunting, but Annie and her team made the music aspect completely stress-free and utterly memorable.

Annie was incredibly helpful in designing the perfect musical lineup for our special day. She listened attentively to our vision and curated a selection of musicians that perfectly matched the vibe we were aiming for. The acoustic ceremony renditions of Jack Johnson's "Better Together" and Maggie Rogers' "Love You For A Long Time" were simply breathtaking. Their performance was heartfelt and beautifully executed, creating a truly magical atmosphere.

The transition to the trio (singer, bass, and guitar) for cocktail hour, dinner, and dancing was seamless. They provided the perfect blend of classy, timeless music with a touch of modern pop hits, ensuring everyone, from our youngest to our oldest guests, enjoyed themselves. The energy was fantastic, and the music flowed effortlessly throughout the evening.

What truly set Blue Wave Band apart was their professionalism and attention to detail. Annie’s thorough explanation of each step in the process was incredibly reassuring, and their ability to handle the logistical challenges of a Space Needle wedding was remarkable. They arrived and set up promptly, ensuring everything was perfect for our guests’ arrival.

We received endless compliments from our guests, many of whom declared it was the best wedding band performance they had ever heard. The band’s talent, versatility, and professionalism were evident in every song they played.

If you’re looking for a band that can provide a sophisticated, engaging, and unforgettable musical experience, Blue Wave Band is an absolute must-hire. They exceeded our expectations in every way, and we are incredibly grateful for their contribution to our perfect wedding day. Highly recommended

10/10 for Blue Wave Band!

Blue Wave Band was fantastic and really made our day special for everyone involved. We had been to a couple weddings where they had performed and so we knew we were getting quality music. But what was very helpful was the preparation process they have built out. We went to their showcase about 8 months before our wedding and got a great preview of their talent and songs they can play, and we had a great time listening to live music. Then when we gained access to their portal, they made it simple enough to share our likes and dislikes and they were able to play most of the songs we requested! Finally, the last call we had with David to firm up all the details was very reassuring. We utilized their band for the reception and dancing, and had their guitarist play as we walked down the aisle. They were prepared, timely, and set an incredible tone for the specific moments. We couldn't recommend them enough!

People are still talking about the band!

We're so happy to have chosen Blue Wave Band for our wedding music! The music was seamless as we switched between DJ at the ceremony, a jazz trio for cocktail hour, an incredible 7-piece band for most of the evening, and then finishing up the night with DJ again. They got everyone on the dance floor, played the most amazing horah, and kept the party going. All our guests agree they were amazing!
