Owner, Founder, Musician
Originally from Mattawan, MI, Molly Konzen is a pianist and vocalist based in Grand Rapids, MI. Her passion for music goes back to early childhood, but she also loves biology and received a Bachelor's degree in Biomedical Sciences from WMU, and is now pursuing a Master's degree in Biomedical Sciences at GVSU. Though she has been playing piano and singing for over thirty years, she is almost entirely self-taught. She writes her own music and has released two full-length original albums, two full-length jazz standard cover albums, and in 2023 she released her fifth album, a jazzy spin on a compilation of classic pop tunes from the last several decades. Molly performs solo, accompanying herself on the piano, or sings in groups with other instrumentalists. She has spent a lot of time on stage and enjoys performing at festivals, venues, events, and private parties, but she also loves to do volunteer work, performing solo at senior living and healthcare facilities and charity events. Molly’s repertoire is vast and she is able to play a wide range of music, always with her own jazzy twist added into the mix.

Molly and her band were incredible at our wedding. Not only the live sound, but also Molly's go with the flow attitude, her communication and everything she helped with for the music leading up to then. We received multiple compliments on the music. Our reception dinner timing was a little different than we realized and I was thankful that she and her band just went with it all and played in between courses without skipping a beat.
Dustin had hired her based on two specific jazz remakes of songs he loved.. sweet child of mind and seven nation army and she and her band nailed it. I've never seen that man so happy as I did on our wedding and up dancing. He told me hes never danced in front of anyone, and when she played our song- a special requested Alicia Keys song, we were dancing together, he was crying, I was crying and it just really made such a treasured moment perfect. From start to finish the band performed impeccably and I could not have asked for a better performance. Thank you to Molly and her band for helping to create an amazing night. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone.

Thank you SO much, Krystal, for this wonderful and heartwarming review!!!🤩 It makes me so...
happy to know we delivered a memorable performance for your happy day! It was so sweet to read that Dustin got a little tearful when he danced with you to “If I ain’t got you.” I’m very glad and honored that we got to take part in making your wedding day a success. You are both very lovely people, and on behalf of the whole band, I wish you a life full of happiness and love! ❤️ Thank you again!!! 🙏☺️🥳

I was really impressed with Molly Konzen Jazz Band, who performed at our wedding. They are really a class act. We loved the music selection and range they brought as well as their jazzy takes on some of our favorite songs from the 70s and 80s. We were VERY satisfied with Molly’s professionalism and the band performance. We would hire them again in a heartbeat for a future event.

We had the absolute pleasure of hiring the Molly Konzen Jazz Band for our CEO’s retirement party, and they exceeded every expectation! It was a 6-piece band, and they brought an incredible energy to the night, with amazing and talented musicians who clearly love what they do. The horn section was awesome, adding an extra punch and excitement that had our guests raving.
Molly herself is not only a phenomenal musician but also an incredible MC, keeping the night flowing seamlessly and engaging the crowd perfectly. The band was very professional and accommodating, working with us to tailor the music to our event’s needs.
The pricing was on the higher side, but it was worth every penny—you truly get what you pay for with talent like this. If you’re looking for top-tier live jazz, look no further than Molly Konzen and her band. Highly recommend!

Molly’s band was amazing. We loved her energy and the band made the whole experience so much fun, exciting, and memorable. My husband and I have been to a lot of weddings, and usually there’s only a DJ or with maybe live music for the ceremony. We saw Molly and her band at my sisters’ wedding, and they were just awesome. Cocktail hour with the jazz band felt so classy, and at the reception, my Dad even got up to dance a bit to one of the disco songs, and he usually never dances. I spoke with Molly a bit and she was delightful and very professional. We wish we would have known about this band when my husband and I got married, because we definitely would have hired them.

My wife and I really enjoyed Molly Konzen’s performance. Molly has a beautiful voice and her band was incredible. We were guests at our friend’s wedding in Detroit, and we were really impressed with the music. Molly acted as an MC throughout the day, and she performed with 2 others for the cocktail hour and had a bigger band for the reception. She was a lot of fun and kept the crowd entertained. People were having a great time dancing to the music, and I heard several people mention how good the band was. Great job Molly and band!

We are so glad that we hired Molly to play live music at our wedding. She both played solo piano and had a 3-piece band that was just perfect for our cocktail hour. Her voice and music is beautiful and people spontaneously started dancing which made the moment even more special. She is very professional and adapted to what we wanted and it remains one of my favorite moments from our wedding. Thanks Molly!

We hired Molly Konzen’s jazz band to perform at our wedding, and they did a fantastic job. From the start, their professionalism and communication stood out—they were prompt, organized, and easy to work with throughout the planning process. My wife is a worrier and over-thinker, but Molly made the music planning straightforward and stress-free, which we were both grateful for.
On the day of the event, their performance was excellent. The music selection was well thought out and custom-tailored to what we asked for. They kept the atmosphere lively without overpowering the evening. They were adaptable and engaged the crowd well, making sure everyone had a good time.
In terms of value, we felt the experience they delivered was well worth the cost.
Overall, we were very pleased with Molly and her band and would definitely recommend them to others looking for a reliable and talented band for their wedding or special event.

Molly Konzen Jazz Band performed the cocktail hour and reception entertainment at our wedding in Traverse City, MI. Our guests had a great time and were dancing and even singing along to the great song choices and beautiful music. Molly's way of speaking to the guests was fun and relaxed. She even made a couple jokes that got people laughing. She also graciously announced the speakers before their speeches. We requested some special songs, which she charged a little extra for, but the price was very fair. She and her 3 other bandmates were very professional, everything went smoothly, and the band looked great, especially with her wearing a cute vintage dress! Since then we have recommended her and her band to our friends for their private events as well. Molly and her band were well worth the money. We were so pleased that we added a large cash tip at the end. They were so good!
