    Best wedding band ever

    Garuda Blue was definitely a highlight of our wedding reception. They played an acoustic jazz set during our cocktail hour, a full band jazz set during dinner, and then a soul/hits set while we danced the night away. All three sets were absolutely stunning. My husband and I are huge jazz fans and appreciated the incredible craftsmanship each member brought to the band.

    Prior to the day, the band manager Abe was incredibly easy to work with: very responsive, accommodating, and organized. Even when one of the band members had an emergency and was unable to perform, Garuda Blue quickly found an EXCELLENT replacement. Our reception wouldn't have been the same without them!

    Could not recommend more!

    Abe and the whole band were beyond great, both in their actual performance at our wedding reception but also what it was like to deal with them in the lead-up. Highly, highly recommended. Highlights: (1) They respond to emails promptly and efficiently and reasonably. Unlike many wedding vendors, they will not cause you stress. (2) They will learn (a limited number of) new songs for you if you give them a heads-up. (3) They are real professionals and were able to adapt to some minor snafus on the day without it even becoming an issue. (4) These guys are incredible musicians -- they did a wonderful job playing background music during the dinner with a smaller combo and then dance music with vocals after dinner. Everybody loved them -- kids, old people, everybody in between. They kept playing hard until the venue shut us out even with like 2 people remaining on the dance floor! Bottom line, would absolutely hire again and could not recommend more strongly.

    5 Stars, A Must Have Band!

    Abe & team not only produced a prodigious evening for my bride, family, and guests, but they were able to drape the evening with profound class!

    Professional, sharp, and talented, doesn’t begin to describe how this band presented. Comments from our friends and family included “the band at your wedding made this the best wedding I have ever been to” and “where did you find these guys” came in droves. The music was timeless, fun, and diverse.

    Looking back at our evening, Garuda Blue really gave us an amazing gift, absolute preeminence, bar none.
