    Jazz for Ceremony and Cocktail Hour

    Abe was great to deal with, we had special requests for 80s songs that we wanted played in a Jazz format for the ceremony and they were able to help us figure out what could work or not. They were on time and never distracted from the wedding but many of our guests commented on how much they enjoyed the band.

    Perfect band

    The Bailsmen was exactly what the doctor ordered. They were great with communication, accommodating, professional, and the perfect blend of music for our brunch wedding. 10/10

    I hired The Bailsmen to play at my wedding recently and from first contact to the big day
    they were wonderful to work with. Clear and responsive communication through phone and email.
    And most importantly terrific performers! Total professionals. All my guests loved them
    and I couldn't have asked for a better musical accompaniment to the celebration.

    The Bailsmen played for my 40th birthday party - a 70+ person cocktail party in a loft space. They were the hit of the party! They created a warm and fun atmosphere and I received several requests from guests for their name. Months later, guests are still commenting what an excellent time they had at the party. I would hire them again and recommend them to a friend without hesitation. Abraham was easy to work with and very accommodating. Thank you for making the party such a memorable experience!

    Our wedding wouldn't have been the same without them! Abe and everyone in the Bailsmen were very communicative, kind, incredibly talented... they even learned our song for us to play as we walked down the aisle. We will never forget it!

    The Bailsmen absolutely stole the show at our wedding - they were such a big hit. They played while our guests arrived, the precessional and recessional for our ceremony, cocktail hour and during dinner. Abraham and the rest of the band were professional and easy to work with throughout the whole process. They are ridiculously talented and so much fun. Having them play our wedding was one of the best decisions we made. Their music added such a unique and classy touch to our beautiful day. Thanks guys !!

    The Bailsmen are the real deal. If you're looking for an average band, do not hire the Bailsmen. If you're looking for an amazing and ridiculously talented group of musicians to take your event to the next level, hire The Bailsmen. Throughout our wedding, guests were constantly approaching us to tell us that we couldn't have found a more perfect fit for our Moroccan gypsy theme, and I still have people asking me about our band. Abe was super accommodating, responsive and communicative through the process. We loved working with them and would unequivocally hire them again for future events.

    The Bailsmen were amazing, super easy and extremely professional. I hired them to play at our company's first holiday party; they brought so much heart and spirit to the event I am so grateful they were available!! Aside from being super talented, they were nice and fun to chat with. I would recommend hiring them and I will hire them again for future events!!!

    The Bailsmen played our ceremony music and cocktail hour at our wedding. They were an absolute pleasure to work with. They were very professional and took care of all the details. They sounded amazing and we got tons of compliments on them from the wedding guests. They made the ceremony beautiful and the cocktail hour fun and exciting. My wife and I will be traveling into Brooklyn just to watch them play again!

    Abe and The Bailsmen were great to work with and I highly recommend them. We requested a three piece band for the cocktails and ceremony and the music was perfect for the mood we were trying to create. Abe helped me pick music for the processional and he was very prompt and professional throughout the planning process. I had guests telling me after the wedding how much they enjoyed the band.

    These guys were amazing.
    This was exactly the music we were looking for and the Bailsmen delivered it from the heart.
    They suggested the songs for both processional and recessional and we loved the selection.
    They helped to maintain the celebratory atmosphere throughout the event.

    The Bailsmen Jazz Band's reply:

    Thanks so much for the kind words. The name came up as "private." To whom can I attribute the review?

    These guys did everything I asked to make a wonderful surprise for my girlfriend. The music was great and the songs I requested were played beautifully. Definitely wouldn't have been as special of a night without them.

    Abe and The Bailsmen were an absolute pleasure to work with. They are wonderful musicians and gave our wedding the exact vibe we wanted, and it was very unique. Abe worked with us to pick the right songs for our wedding processional and recessional, and he was always professional and prompt. If you want high-quality musicians and a unique and classy wedding band, definitely consider Abe and The Bailsmen!

    My wife and I are so glad that we chose The Bailsmen as our wedding band. From the start, the band had excellent communication with us over the phone and by email to answer our questions and make sure that the night went exactly as we were hoping. They played the perfect range of songs to fit the mood of the evening. From relaxed cocktail hour songs to stepping up the energy for dancing after dinner. They even learned the songs we wanted for the Father-Bride and Mother-Groom dances.

    We really appreciate how fun and professional the Bailsmen were and feel we made the perfect choice to make our wedding night unique and special.

    We hired The Bailsmen for our wedding that took place at Brooklyn Winery in July of 2014. The Bailsmen were an excellent ensemble in many ways, but particularly for their professionalism and musicianship. We had requested a 3-piece band for the cocktails and dinner time slots of the evening and then the full 5-piece band for the drinks and dancing in the latter part of the evening. Additionally, our musician for the ceremony cancelled and the guitarist of the band was able to fill in; (Pete Matthiessen) he played arrangements of Avett Brothers and U2 and was also a high quality instrumentalist.

    The bass player and contractor for the ensemble that we dealt with was Abe Pollack and he was prompt, reasonable, and easy to work with.

    The gypsy jazz/swing that they performed was a nice mix of mid to uptempo music and it provided an excellent backdrop to our somewhat retro-oriented wedding.

    I highly recommend The Bailsmen.

    We were looking for a band that would not only do a beautiful job playing slow songs but that would kick the energy level up a notch and make everyone at our wedding want to dance. The Bailsmen succeded admirably; so much so that our guests gave them a standing ovation at the end of their set. The Bailsmen were one of our favorite parts of our wedding. We would book them again in a heartbeat for any future events.

    The Bailsmen were awesome!!! Love their skills, musical ability and instrumentation. We were very particular about timing of their playing location of playing, etc. and they were very easy to work with, highly accommodating, highly recommend working with them in the future.
