Garuda Blue blew it out of the water. This band is on a next level! If you are a purveyor of good music and are looking for something other than your typical wedding band, well this is the band for you. You can tell that these guys are real jazz musicians that have been playing with each other for a long time. I heard nothing but great music, sick solos, and plenty of praises from our friends and family. Jazz, R&B, Soul, Funk, Top 40s, you name it, and they will nail it.

If you are looking for the BEST look no further! Thank you, Garuda Blue!!

Garuda Blue was the absolute BEST band we could have asked for. These guys are professional jazz musicians that happen to do weddings and not the cookie cutter wedding bands that happen to do some jazz. Their communication leading up to the wedding was prompt, professional, and concise, which put us at ease throughout the entire planning process. On the day of, their performance was nothing short of exceptional - they played incredible jazz solos and during the dance party they got everyone dancing to top 40 hits. As top-tier jazz musicians with their own original arrangements, they truly elevated our wedding reception and made it a night to remember. We highly recommend Garuda Blue to any couple looking for the best in live music and entertainment for their special day.

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Garuda Blue for our wedding, and they were simply outstanding from start to finish. Their versatility, professionalism, and responsiveness made the entire process so smooth and stress-free. They learned three special song requests for us, and I had the honor of singing with them. The instrumental versions they played were nearly identical to the originals, making it easy for me to follow along and enjoy the performance.

During the rehearsals, all the band members were so easy to get along with. They patiently guided me to fit into their instrumentals, and even the rehearsal footage itself was so nice to watch afterward. Their proficiency and expertise really shone through—they were able to effortlessly play songs from various genres and even modulate to different keys to accommodate my vocal range.

Communication with them was effortless—they provided all the detailed information I needed and really helped calm my nerves. The rehearsals gave me so much reassurance and confidence for the big day.

On the day of the wedding, they arrived early to set everything up, and the show they put on was nothing short of magnificent. Their soft, romantic jazz during dinner set the perfect mood. Later, during the party dance time, their hit pop songs were vibing so much that even the shyest guests hopped onto the dance floor! The entire crowd was energized, and we all had an unforgettable time.

If you’re looking for a band that goes above and beyond to deliver a perfect, unforgettable performance, I cannot recommend Garuda Blue highly enough!

Garuda Blue is fantastic!! We hired them for our wedding and they didn’t disappoint! Everyone was dancing and having a wonderful time. All of the guys were very nice and excited with all of our excitement in having them. My husband and I are big music people and love live concerts. It felt like having VIP tickets to a show! Not only was the music wonderful but they were very communicative through the whole process. Truly wonderful people who are very talented. Thank you Garuda Blue for being a part of our special day! We are so grateful.

Garuda Blue was the perfect band for my daughter's wedding. Everyone enjoyed the music, both the sophisticated jazz during cocktails and dinner, and then especially the dance pop later in the evening as things heated up. The players were all excellent musicians, and they looked sharp, too. The communication leading up to the event was good, and the band was extremely professional at all times. This is a quality organization. My daughter and her new husband were very happy with Garuda Blue, and many of the wedding guests made a point of telling me how much they enjoyed the band. I highly recommend them.

Garuda Blue was the perfect choice for our son's wedding. He picked the band based on his own years as a musician and playing in bands. Talking with Abe, the band's leader, our son knew immediately that his choice of music, number of band members, length of sets, etc. would be respected. And, indeed honored they were. The band pleased all ages at the reception and provided the perfect tone for the entire party. If you need a band, stop here. Book them! They are in high demand. We feel lucky to have secured a top-notch, professional, and exceptionally talented group of musicians.

The Garuda Blue Band made our reception really fun. They are excellent musicians and know how to make events seem to flow naturally. They earned enthusiastic praise from the musicians and non-musicians, young and old, dancers and non-dancers among our guests. They were incredibly easy to work with as well. I can't recommend them highly enough.

Garuda Blue played at my 60th birthday party at the Sweetwater Music Hall in Mill Valley. They played light jazz outside on the patio, a jazz set on stage and then several hours of dance music ranging from the 60s to contemporary. I'm a singer and half of the audience were musicians. My wife and I sang a duet accompanied by them, as did two friends who had brought jazz arrangements to them to practice a few months before the event. Everyone loved the band. Abe and the group were a joy to work with. I can highly recommend Garuda Blue for your event.

Garuda Blue is made up of a group of very talented musicians, as a result their music is incredible! I am a wedding planner who has worked with Garuda Blue for over 4 years on many events together. We are always excited when we get to partner up on events, it's also a huge bonus to be able to enjoy their music too!

Not only do they have a great jazz repertoire, they also do many modern and party hits that are sure to get the dance floor going. This is a common question we get a lot - whether or not a jazz party band works for the dancing portion of the evening. For Garuda Blue it's a big hands down yes!

They can also help with ceremony and cocktail hour ambiance music by doing a smaller ensemble (like a duo or trio). Overall they are very communicative and easy to work with (so important with all the details and stress that comes with event planning). Everyone in this group is kind, hardworking, and passionate about what they do, which are important traits in this industry because it shows in the energy and music that is played.

Thank you, Garuda Blue, and hope to partner up on the next party again soon!

We had Garuda Blue play for our wedding and are 100% satisfied with the band and would highly recommend anyone have them play for their wedding or event. They made our wedding reception so much better, and assisted in making our reception run smoothly, as they emceed for it. They learned and played two additional songs upon request for two special dances, and played them beautifully. The band was very professional, easy to communicate with, and performed lovely music! No complaints at all!
