⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I am absolutely thrilled to share my experience with Joe and his band, who played at our wedding! From the moment they started performing, it felt like we had stepped back in time to an elegant jazz club. Their rendition of classic Sinatra songs created a romantic atmosphere that perfectly complemented our special day.
The band was not only incredibly talented but also very professional. They arrived on time, set up efficiently, and were ready to go well before our guests arrived. Their energy was infectious, and they truly engaged with everyone, encouraging guests to dance and sing along.
What impressed me most was their ability to read the room. They seamlessly transitioned between upbeat tunes that got everyone on the dance floor and softer ballads that set a lovely backdrop during dinner. Every song they played was a hit, and our guests are still raving about how amazing the music was!
If you're considering live music for your wedding, I can't recommend them enough. They brought an unforgettable charm and elegance to our celebration, making it a night we will cherish forever. Thank you for making our wedding so special!

We hired Joe Caruso and his jazz band for our wedding on April 6, 2024, and they were absolutely phenomenal! From the moment they started playing, the atmosphere was transformed into an elegant, vibrant, and joyous celebration.
Joe's professionalism and talent are truly unmatched. He was incredibly responsive and accommodating during the planning process, ensuring that every detail was tailored to our preferences. On the day of the wedding, the band arrived on time and set up seamlessly, adding a touch of class to our event.
The music was exquisite. Joe and his band performed a perfect mix of classic jazz standards and contemporary favorites, creating a wonderful ambiance that had our guests raving. The musicianship was top-notch, and you could tell that each member of the band was passionate about their craft. Their performance was not only technically flawless but also filled with soul and emotion, making it a truly memorable experience for everyone present.
Several of our guests commented on how much they enjoyed the music and even asked for the band's contact information for their own events. Joe Caruso and his band exceeded all our expectations, and we couldn't have been happier with our choice. They were a significant part of what made our wedding day so special and unforgettable.
If you're looking for a talented, professional, and charismatic jazz band for your event, I highly recommend Joe Caruso and his band. They will undoubtedly bring magic and sophistication to any occasion.
Thank you, Joe, for making our wedding day so magical!

Joe Caruso, and his band blew us away on our wedding night. SET THE VIBE completely. I wanted our guest to feel like they had freedom, freedom completely to dance, to sit and chat, to just watch. Joe and his band are elevated, and total class act! this was an elegant experience, that my guest raved about. We wanted a unique experience, that a DJ just couldn't provide, we wanted to exude a mood, instead of something forced. Joe Caruso and his band knocked it out of the park, and were authentic, with the appropriate amount of engagement. Joe Caruso was easy to communicate with, and super prompt. Joe even learned a new song, and bonded over the shared admiration of Burt Bacharach, with my mother, he even surprised her with her favorite song. the music wasn't so loud that you couldn't hear yourself think, but loud enough that it truly WAS the entire VIBE. I am still reeling, and so happy with my choice, I would hire Joe and his band a million times over, for just about any event where I am bringing people together.

We recently had Joe and his band play for our Homecoming. As a classical Charter School, we really appreciate their dedication to beautiful and classy music which allows out students to keep up the art of dancing.
They were also ready in a pinch and super friendly!

Joe and his band was amazing! He is so friendly and absolutely professional! He made our wedding night perfect. His voice is beautiful. He even went above and beyond when it came to an important song that was special to us for a groom and daughter dance and he made it happen. I highly recommend Joe! He will get everyone dancing and make for a memorable night. If you’re considering a dj make the better choice and go with Joe’s band! Nothing compares to the personal, intimate touch he adds.

Joe Caruso and his crew of amazing musicians were without a doubt a highlight of our wedding. Their elegant and professional style paired with their incredible musical ability made for music that one guest said he could "just sit and listen to all night long." I could not recommend Joe & co. enough, and you have absolutely no reason to hesitate if you're thinking about working with them. Thank you for everything, Joe!

Joe Caruso and his wonderful team made our special night perfect! Joe was very easy to work with and listened to our wants. We requested a song for our first dance and Joe went past our expectations. With everything that is taking place with COVID-19, Joe and his team were very respectful and considerate. Our guest loved him and we will definitely consider him again for other specials events we plan in the future. Thank you so much Joe and your team for making our wedding night a beautiful memory that we will always cherish!

We hired Joe for our wedding and he was amazing! Punctual, professional, and very accommodating with the timing of our first dance and any specific dances or songs we desired. He and the band sounded absolutely amazing and our guests complimented them all night. He remained in communication with us during the planning of the wedding and arrived early to inspect the venue and perform his sound check. Joe really set the tone for our reception and we had an amazing and perfect day!

Truly a professional who can adapt when needed. We messed up with timing on some other wedding reception events and we were able to work with Joe on finagling some announcements between his songs.
And of course, the band sounded amazing!

There is not enough room here for me to truly get across the ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL experience we had working with Joe Caruso. I have taught dance for several years, and my fiancee decided to learn a choreographed first dance, so I'm sure you can imagine the requests we must have made throughout the wedding planning process. Joe and his band not only learned a song for us, they also sent us several versions of the song to be sure it was perfect with the choreography, they invited us out to hear them perform before the wedding (I am SUPER type-a if you can't tell), and they made wonderful suggestions of jazz songs to replace the traditional wedding marches. I'd always dreamed of a classic/classy wedding that included a vocalist and piano instead of strings instruments, and boy did they deliver! A month and a half out, I'm still getting compliments on how fun our wedding was for all ages. Seriously, though, I would hire this band a thousand more times, if I could. They are perfection, and I can't thank them enough for bringing my wedding dreams to life!

Joe and his band were wonderful for our Jazzy Southtown San Antonio wedding reception. He was incredibly professional and easy to work with; the band was great and everyone loved them! He also took the time to learn a special song for the father-daughter dance - so meaningful for our family. You will not regret working with Joe and his bad. Thanks so much for everything!

Joe Caruso is the living Sinatra dream!! Joe and band, played at my wedding reception and brought so much class, elegance and fun!! Upon first meeting Joe, he makes you feel like old friends. He is so easy to work with and will accommodate your every need. Joe and band put on an incredible performance, our guests gave so many compliments! He sang "Just the way you look tonight" for our first dance at the perfect tempo with so much romance. Not only a professional musician, but Joe brought life to our party as our Emcee. He introduced our wedding party, announced reception games, and more! Look no further, Joe Caruso and band are the total package and best in the industry!! Thank you so much Joe :)

We recently had the honor of working a wedding with Joe Caruso and his band for a wedding we coordinated. He and his band are true professionals and wonderful performers. Our bride asked Joe to learn a song for her father and daughter dance and he did a wonderful job. The bride & father of the bride were singing along and so happy. If you are looking for live music and a great emcee for your wedding or event, give Joe Caruso a call. You will be happy you did!

Joe Caruso and his band were perfect for my parents' 50th wedding anniversary party! I was able to select songs with the right tempo from his extensive song list. My 79 y. o. father has difficulty walking, but was able to dance with my mother to the tunes Joe played! Their guests also enjoyed and were very complimentary of the musical performance Joe and his band provided for this very special occasion. As a special request to me, I am very appreciative that Joe Caruso and his band also learned a song my father used to sing to my mother and were able to perform it for my parents. Joe is very easy-going and accommodating and you'll be delighted with their performance!

We just can't say enough amazing things about Joe Caruso! From the first meeting to the reception, he was engaged, attentive, and accommodating. The song my Dad and I wanted to dance to, he learned for us without hesitation! Our guests were so impressed with him as well, I had more conversations about him during the reception than I did about anything else! The sound was perfect, everyone loved the songs but no one thought it was too loud to converse. And everyone enjoyed the dancing. Our reception was perfect because of them, and we can't recommend them enough! THANK YOU JOE!!!

We had Joe Caruso and his trio perform at our wedding reception. They were fantastic! On time, beautiful music, and so professional! Joe sounds just like Frank Sinatra, all of my guests were talking about his voice. My caterer ended up running late which pushed back our first dance and toast and Joe just went with it like that is how it was supposed to happen! I was so impressed I would highly recommended him! He made our big day so special! He even played for a little longer at the end so we had a chance to do some dancing. He made me feel like I didn't have to worry about anything and it was just perfect!
