1000/10 all across the board for Yazz Jazz Entertainment. We first met Amy at the Stan Mansion open house. We got the pamphlet, scheduled a date to meet and from that point moving forward, we knew we were going with Yazz Jazz. We met with Amy p...retty early in the process and told her the vision for our Tim Burton wedding and the group delivered beyond our expectations. My husband's only rule was "we can't hire the DJ unless he knows who Bassnectar is." She facetimed JC during our meeting and it was final - bride wanted band .. groom wanted DJ .. and everything fell perfectly into place. If you're on the fence because of money, please allocate the appropriate amount of your budget to hire Yazz Jazz because it will be worth every.single.penny.
Wedding month - She drove all the way to Logan Square to attend the walkthrough for the venue... in Chicago rush hour... Instant nomination for sainthood. She met with us the following week to finalize songs, special dances and requests, and the timeline of the day. Short notice we realized the timeline was bumped up a 1/2 hour and no problem, they still delivered and extended the set.
Wedding day - The DJ nailed everyone's name, even the hard-to-pronounce Polish maid of honor, and the entire ballroom was on their feet for our entrance. JC read the room and ensured people we're having a great time. During our dinner, he played Danny Elfman music from Burton movies. He helped execute our theme to the t. Short notice, my dad and I cancelled our dance and no one would have noticed because the transition was so seamless. The opening song, Let's Get It Started, packed the dance floor and it continued to stay packed the entire night. Everyone loved Yazz Jazz and we've heard multiple couples already mention they want them for their wedding. All of the vocalists were engaged with the audience. Originally, since I am Team NSYNC, I nixed the backstreet boys medley. Amy triple checked with me that it was okay to play and out of the respect of my bridesmaid (who breathes BSB) I agreed. They killed the BSB medley and let the bridesmaid sing a line. It was perfect (and later balanced out by NSYNC songs). The band was dancing and on the floor with us the entire night. The performance was incredible.
Amy was so helpful throughout the planning process. She recommended multiple vendors, met with us multiple times, responded to every single text, email, and phone call. Her work ethic is astounding. At one point she was even helping rip open glow stick packaging for our exit. If Amy wasn't there, our day would have felt incomplete.
The amount of effort that Yazz Jazz puts into making your big day perfect is priceless. We cannot thank them enough.
