This is the band you want

These guys were amazing at our wedding!

Their energy was incredible and the music was so fun. Our guests are still raving about them. Truly one of the highlights of our big day.

On top of that, they were an absolute dream to work with — responsive, professional, and accommodating to our vision. From planning to performance, they made everything easy and stress-free. We can’t recommend them highly enough!

High Energy, Excellent Band

We hired the Blue Wave 7-piece band for our wedding and they were incredible. They were so fun, and we loved every part of their performance. They knew exactly how to keep the party going and the dance floor packed all night. We've received so many comments from guests about how excellent they were. Highly recommend them for any event!

The best wedding band experience

We hired the 6 musician package for our wedding and it was the best decision. They were professional, prompt, and set up everything themselves. They did a great job providing sound for the ceremony and they provided great energy and personality with MC services during the reception. We truly did not expect the entire experience to be overshadowed by the main performance though. They were a tight group! The quality of music and sound was beyond expectation. The music had actually everyone dancing and having an amazing time for hours. Many of our guests said it was the best wedding they had ever been to which we largely attribute to the Blue Wave Band. If you want to make your event stand out and ensure top of the line music and entertainment, I wouldn't sleep on this group!

Fantastic band and a joy to work with

We hired Blue Wave Band for our whole wedding day: audio support for the ceremony (speakers and microphones), a jazz trio for cocktail hour, and an 8-piece band for the reception. They were fantastic from start to finish and very easy to work with.

Annie, our main point of contact, was a joy. She was communicative, quick to respond, and happy to accommodate our requests, from our likes and dislikes to specific song selections. Because the band had performed at our venue before (The Arctic Club Hotel), she knew the space well and even offered helpful recommendations on lighting.

Our guests loved them! Everyone raved about the music selection and how the band kept the energy up through every set. They were also great about playing the playlists we put together during their set breaks, so the dance floor never lost momentum.

For anyone budgeting, our total (around $7,700) covered the 8-piece reception band, the cocktail hour trio, ceremony audio, and uplighting. We felt it was great value for professional live music, which was a high priority for us.

We highly recommend Blue Wave Band to anyone looking for live music for their wedding.

The perfect wedding band!

Blue Wave Band is the best wedding band you could have on your special day! They were the entertainment during and after dinner and was so good. They played during the ceremony and during the first dances and sounded better than the songs I requested. Their communication, planning, and website to track everything is so easy and clear that they were a vendor you did not have to worry about when juggling with so many vendors! They are the best!

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.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

I've worked with Blue Wave Band on several occasions for Whidbey Island weddings. They really know how to get a party started! With a nicely varied repertoire of materials and very talented musicians, they are able to appeal to a wide variety of guests and keep everyone interested in shaking their groove thangs, and singing along. I highly recommend them!
