Justin & The SwingBeats

oking for in a live band and then provided details and general pricing information. After that, we were able to get on a twenty or so minute phone call to talk through some of the finer details of what we wanted. He was incredibly patient with me as I had NO IDEA what the right choice was for many of the details. He explained the pros and cons of stage lighting, risers, different numbers of band members. We then went MIA, cause you know... wedding planning and life. Despite that, Justin was still accommodating when we reappeared a couple months later. We booked the next day with a deposit. Leading up to the wedding, Justin made sure to touch base and was clear both through email and through the contract what he and team needed to be successful. On the day of the event, they arrived exactly when they said they would and got setup. They then proceeded to be even more amazing. We had scheduled the band to begin playing when cocktail hour ended. As discussed, they played light background/dinner jazz and rat pack music. On top of that, they acted as emcee for the event. Justin was funny, knew what was going on, and announced everything as expected. He was better than any DJ acting as emcee that I’ve seen, too! After the dinner music, the band kicked it up a bit with a mix of Sinatra/Dean Martin-style music, contemporary, and some fun arrangements of things like Jump by Van Halen. They kept the energy up in a room full of people who like to do a lot of sitting and chatting. They even had a special surprise for us, but I’ll keep that quiet so it can be a surprise for you too! We received so many compliments on their music selection, performance, and hosting. Overall, Justin and the SwingBeats were a highlight of our wedding and we are so glad we made it happen. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
