I've been to several of Crescendo Amelia's shows and they're fantastic. Their 14-piece band is especially incredible, with a big horn section that sounds absolutely amazing. You won't regret it. They have two wonderful singers and a very wide range of music styles. Highly, highly recommend.
Crescendo was an absolute delight to have at our event. Between the professionalism of their whole band and their friendliness with us, we really couldn’t have asked for better people. Their music was excellent, and set the tone for the best show we could have asked for!
You really can't find better musicians than Crescendo Amelia. Whether it's classic jazz or the latest pop hits, they're bound to energize the room and get people up and moving. If you're looking for a top-notch band in Northeast Florida, look no further.
Pros all the way. Everything from start to finish was smooth and they were a pleasure to work with. Not to mention the music they played was great and perfect for our special day.

Crescendo was so much fun & were so great to work with! My partner & I didn’t have to worry about a thing and I loved their music selections! They even learned my favorite version of “Unforgettable” for our dance! Highly recommend!
My friend hired this band for her wedding and they were awesome! I know the care she took to find the right band and Crescendo nailed it by bringing the right energy and mix of songs. They got EVERYONE out on the floor dancing but also kept my friend and her husband as the center of the night. I’d love to go to another wedding where they’re playing.
Crescendo Amelia helped make our wedding special and fun and provided outstanding entertainment. They were also very professional to deal with in terms of logistics and organizing. Particularly if you are looking to add a big band/swing element to your wedding, I would highly recommend them.
