These guys are wonderful.

The 5 piece band played during cocktails and dinner. Fun, upbeat standards. We had 2 of them play during the ceremony itself and they were juts wonderful. We also used their DJ services after dinner. I dont remember a wedding reception that had a packed dance floor from start to finish. We loved In the Blue! Highly recommend!

Great jazz combo!

We had an excellent experience. The online forms were easy to use and they played viby music during our cocktail hour on the patio. We were initially unsure about having a Hammond Organ, but it sounded great outside! We had a jazz musician in the wedding party who had nothing but the highest praise for the trio that was playing. We would recommend In the Blue to anyone getting married in the area.

Greatest Addition to our Special Day!

Book them!!! In the Blue was AMAZING! They were everything we wanted. So many people have commented on the fact that we had this great jazz band at our wedding. The musicians made all our dreams come true!! They learned at least two new songs for our ceremony that were absolutely perfect!

Not Just Jazz

The boys of the In The Blue Jazz Ensemble provided the perfect background music as my guests arrived to our ceremony, playing a mix of pop, jazz, and anything my heart desired.
During the ceremony, the good tunes continued!
The Ensemble played during my cocktail hour as well before our DJ took over for the remaining hours of our reception.
The Ensemble was helpful to make sure I got the tunes I wanted and they were very responsive with any and all my questions.

Best choice we made for our wedding

The live music at the ceremony and cocktail hour was one of the best choices we made for our wedding day. The guys were super friendly and responsive, and even changed out a couple of instruments to suit our preferences. Would recommend.

Perfect wedding music

They were one of the highlights of our wedding, hands down. We had multiple people come up to us throughout the wedding to say how incredible the band was, and both Evan and I were blown away. They had zero issue with our obscure jazz song requests for our wedding and absolutely nailed everything they played. It was only of my favorite parts of my wedding if I’m being completely honest. We would highly recommend them to anyone in search of incredible live music for any occasion.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
