About this vendor
Meet Blue Dot, your ultimate wedding band choice, setting the perfect musical atmosphere for every stage of your celebration since 2017. We are a D.C. based ensemble, infusing each performance with local talent and a repertoire that spans across jazz, pop, funk, blues, Latin, soul, and Brazilian music. Our team of vibrant, polished, punctual, and professional musicians will deliver the acoustic vibe for your ceremony, the jazz feel for the cocktail hour, and a lively dance mix for the reception.
At the core of Blue Dot are gifted local musicians in their 20s and 30s, playing the piano, bass, drums, saxophone, trumpet, and vocals, with the occasional special guest on the guitar or trombone. We're more than just a band. We're a tight-knit musical family that turns every performance into a dynamic symphony of sound.
Our performances aren't just renditions, they're reinventions. We give popular songs a fresh twist with our distinctive jazzy style. We don't just play songs, we stretch them out, offering our audience a unique musical experience that's spontaneous, lively, and memorable.
Unlike other event bands where musicians are meeting each other for the first time on the gig; we're a band that continually hones its craft. We're proud to be the house band at the Alex Speakeasy in Georgetown, known for being one of the best jazz venues in town. Our consistent performances here have allowed us to build a solid repertoire and foster a deep connection amongst the band members.
In terms of flexibility, we've got you covered. Blue Dot can arrange performances as a duo, trio, quartet, quintet, or sextet, depending on your preference. Additionally, our pianist Andy offers exceptional solo performances, a service he's refined at esteemed locations like the Washington Golf & Country Club and the University Club in D.C where he is engaged as their “house pianist.”
With Blue Dot, you're choosing more than a band. You're choosing a team that is as enthusiastic and committed to your wedding as you are, a band that isn't just hired but becomes a part of your celebration. Let Blue Dot deliver a performance that will get your guests dancing, ensuring your wedding becomes an unforgettable experience for everyone.

Choosing Blue Dot Jazz for our wedding music was a decision that paid off in spades. Their performance was the perfect complement to our day, providing just the right atmosphere at the right moments.
Each member of the band displayed remarkable talent, mastering their instruments with a style that appealed to both dedicated jazz lovers and those new to the genre. They had a seamless ability to know when to provide a gentle musical backdrop for conversation and when to ramp up the energy and draw everyone’s attention with their sound.
The lead singer was particularly notable for their impressive vocals, adding depth and character to our wedding soundscape. Beyond their musical prowess, the band was very friendly and easy to work with. Their amiable disposition made them not just performers but an integral part of the celebration’s success.
Blue Dot Jazz proved to be an excellent choice, delivering professionalism and lively entertainment. They struck a chord with guests of all ages, and their performance is one we’ll remember fondly as a special part of our wedding day.
Completely satisfied! Excellent players. Great choice of material. On time, professional. Nice neat appearance. Got tons of compliments from my guests.
Blue Dot delivered the perfect experience for my wedding. Each member of the band is incredibly talented and they play together with a chemistry that few other wedding bands can match. They brought great energy all night and were happily willing to play different styles of music at our request. I cannot recommend them enough.
We heard about Blue Dot through a friend who had them play at their own wedding. They came highly recommended, and did not disappoint! Extremely professional and lovely group, and we and all of our wedding guests loved their music. Easy 5 star rating!
We hired Blue Dot for a wedding reception cruise on the Potomac River. They played beautiful jazz without stealing the scene from the wedding party. People loved their signature stylized jazz. Would use them again.
Blue Dot Jazz Troupe performed at my wedding in Charleston, SC in 2018. They were simply fantastic. During our big day, we knew we did not have to worry about their performance and attention to detail. Andy and his group learned any preferred music they hadn't played before and were very well rehearsed. Really the best wedding band we could have imagined for our ceremony. 5 stars!
Blue Dot created an amazing atmosphere, seamlessly moving from a welcoming vibe before dinner to an upbeat tone as we danced into the night. We couldn't have been happier with their professionalism and the genuine good energy they gave off from start to finish!
Blue Dot Jazz Troupe performed at my daughter's wedding in September 2018. They were the perfect addition to the evening and their music helped set the tone of what was a beautiful wedding in the Blue Ridge Mountains. They were wonderful to work with - couldn't recommend them enough!
We loved these guys- they were super flexible, great to work with, and sounded amazing. They were perfect for our reception, dance floor, and dinner. Would 100% recommend.
Blue Dot Jazz, especially Andy, were phenomenal - from prompt communication, transparency in pricing, and professionalism in their service. We decided very early on in our wedding planning that we wanted a live band and were so glad we found Blue Dot. I was a bit apprehensive about not having a DJ for our reception for all our grand entrances, etc, but they reassured me through their past experience, and it turned out so much better than I would have ever imagined! So if you're looking to hire a jazz band, Blue Dot is it, and if you're in between about hiring a DJ vs. a band, Blue Dot will also deliver 100%!
We hired Blue Dot Jazz Troupe for our wedding and the band is extremely talented. They have a vast knowledge of styles of jazz, a great song bank, and understood our style and requests. The band played music for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and a portion of the reception. They played everything from "La Vie en Rose" to Stevie Wonder and we even did a second line! Andy and the band are so professional. Everyone really enjoyed and commented on how great the band was. They worked very well with our DJ and also a friend of mine who sang with them at the wedding. So accommodating, excellent musicians, professional, and fun! One of the easiest vendors we worked with and made a huge impact on our event! Will hire again!
