Amazing DJ Service
Highly recommend Yazz Events for your wedding DJ! Amy and DJ Dale were super helpful and communicative throughout the whole process and were able to accommodate all of our requests. The online platform for picking songs and organizing the flow of events is very convenient and user-friendly. On the day of, DJ Dale was super fun and did an amazing job managing the dance floor and keeping it packed the whole night. All of our guests had a fantastic time!

Highlight of our day
Amy & the band were the absolute highlight of our day, and we couldn’t imagine our day without them. From the very first day I contacted her, Amy was quick to respond, so friendly, professional, and organized. She was flexible beyond belief when we kept requesting additions, and everyone else in the industry adores her, too, which speaks volumes. We had a string trio for our ceremony. In attendance, we had two experienced violinists who raved about their performance. For our cocktail hour, we had a quartet do jazzy takes on modern pop songs, which was one of my favorite parts. It elevated the mood and made everything feel so classy! Then for the star of the show, we had heatwave as our dance band and added a horn section. They learned our first dance song and perfectly followed by husband’s cues for when to wind it down. Out of ~100 guests, less than 10% left early. Our dance floor was PACKED from the first to the final song and they did an incredible job of working off of our must plays to craft a set list that was perfectly what we wanted yet was still full of surprises to us. Everyone’s favorite part was the singers coming offstage onto the dancefloor to sing awhile dancing around with us. I’m going to stop, but if you’re reading these snd haven’t booked them yet - do it before someone else does. Any and team, we adore you and could never thank you enough.

Highly recommend!
We had an amazing experience with Yazz Events! Amy was super responsive and helpful with all of our questions leading up to the wedding. DJ Dale was fantastic—he listened to all of our suggestions and kept the energy high all night. So many guests commented on how great he was, and we couldn’t agree more.

Incredible Wedding Music!
Thank you for making my wedding an incredible day. Yazz Events was so easy to work with and customizing our music to fit our special day. The planning process was so easy, and Amy was so attentive to our needs. My one special request was to have me walk down the aisle to Somewhere Over The Rainbow, as I am originally from Kansas. It was perfect and brought everyone to tears.

Yazz Events did an incredible job for our wedding! Amy and her team were easy to work with through the planning process, and super helpful in answering all of our questions. We had a ceremony piano player, guitarist during cocktail hour, digital photobooth, and DJ Pat for the reception, and they all did an amazing job. The digital photobooth was a last minute addition that we're so happy we included - we were sent the full website of photos our guests took, and it was so much fun going through them all. Highly recommend the Yazz Events team!

Best Part of the Wedding!
Here's a glowing review for the amazing band that made your wedding unforgettable:
"Wow, where do I even begin?! Yazz Jazz absolutely stole the show at our wedding! Their energy, talent, and charisma had every single guest on their feet and dancing the night away. From the moment they started playing, we knew we were in for a treat. Their music was the perfect blend of classic and modern, and they played all the right tunes to keep the party going. (and not to mention the stamina of these performers! Holy cow!!!)
But what truly set them apart was their ability to read the crowd and adapt to the mood of the room. They knew exactly when to slow it down and when to bring the house down with an epic dance party. And their performances? Absolutely electrifying! All of the singer's voices were like butter, smooth and rich, but still exciting and full of power! All around, the musicianship was top-notch.
Our guests are still raving about the band, and we've had countless requests for their contact information. They truly made our wedding reception an unforgettable experience. If you're looking for a band that will bring the house down and leave your guests talking for years to come, look no further than Yazz Jazz!!! They're the real deal, and we can't thank them enough for making our special day so incredibly special. 5 stars, 10/10, will definitely hire them again in a heartbeat!

SO HAPPY we hired Yazz Events!
My husband and I are SO HAPPY we hired Yazz Events for our October wedding; each member is extremely talented. For our wedding, we decided to have a string trio for our ceremony, quintet for our cocktail hour, and a DJ for our reception. Amy and DJ Dale helped us every step of the way in planning our music for each part of our wedding; even making music recommendations when we felt lost. They were an absolute joy to work with and I felt like after each meeting/conversation we were always on the same page. This helped decrease our stress level :)
The event portal was user friendly and helped us organize the music and timeline for my event. I cannot say enough positive things about Yazz Events. Amy and DJ Dale were flexible in scheduling meetings, very communicative, and always responsive to any and all questions that we had.
Our guests absolutely LOVED the music and even mentioned that they could tell that we handpicked each and every song that was played on our wedding day. Every song that was played, our guests thoroughly enjoyed. During and after our wedding, we had several guests ask for their contact information, which we gladly provided. We hope to attend future events with you guys performing :)
All in all, Yazz Events is hands down THE BEST entertainment there is! We highly recommend hiring them for any event!
