Most Epic Band Ever!

Hella Fitzgerald, led by the amazing Lilan Kane, did a fabulous job at my son’s wedding. From the clear and timely communication with Lilan herself (no third party manager) over the months leading up to the big day about our budget and hopes and dreams, to the actual wedding day, it could not have been more perfect! The highlights were the epic brass band that led the 200+ guests from the outdoor wedding ceremony to the reception, the mother-son dance (perhaps not the dancing skills but definitely the beautiful rendition of “What the World Needs Now (Is Love)” by Lilan and her band), and the song set with the glorious horns that kept the dance floor hopping (with everyone from the youngest guest to grandma) all night long! It went by too fast, but the memories will last forever! We could not have been more pleased! I could not recommend Hella Fitzgerald more!

Couldn't Have Asked for Anything More

Hella Fitgerald was everything we could've hoped for. Their sound and energy was fantastic. They showed up prepared and fit in perfectly with our schedule and our space. Their price was fair and Lilan was fantastic at working with us ahead of time to make sure that we got just what we wanted. Without hesitation, I would hire them again and recommend them to anyone!

Hella Fitzgerald is Fantastic!

Honestly, I cannot think of a more professional talent buying experience in my career, and the level of musicianship is absolutely top notch. From beginning to end, I had an excellent experience and my guests loved the band. I also cannot think of a better name for a band either! Highly recommended!
