Absolutely AMAZING!!!

Katie and the band were absolutely amazing! It was our first time working with a band and Katie made everything so easy for us from the very beginning. Her process, organization, personality, and professionalism were outstanding. Not to mention the day of our wedding reception, the quality of the music and her amazing voice, we could not have been luckier to have Katie and the Secret Jazz Band play for us! Thanks again Katie, you are such a pro!!

Best of the best

First of all, communication was excellent. Katie was always quick to respond, followed up, and answered all of our questions and concerns both in writing and in person. Coordinating with the Secret Jazz Band was smooth sailing. But more importantly, Katie and the band is an amazing and talented group. Both the singing and the music set the perfect ambiance for our wedding. Thank you, again, Secret Jazz Band!

I've had the good fortune of performing weddings and events of all sizes for over a decade. A wedding is an intimate and special occasion and I'm always grateful to get the opportunity to step into a couple's world and share in their most treasured traditions and happiest of days. From the planning stage to the day of the wedding we get to become the soundtrack for a true love story.

Live jazz is a classy touch to any event. The music creates a beautiful positive atmosphere. I love seeing all the smiling faces, young and old, from all over the world, enjoying the music.

Something unique. Something timeless. That is what we strive to bring on your wedding day.
