Yazz Events

l hour music because their musicians are amazing. But Post-Covid, we had to cancel our band and asked Yazz Jazz to also play during our luncheon and we were not disappointed. Our intimate day was made even more beautiful by Yazz Jazz. Also, Amy was so pleasant to work with and so helpful. She put many of our stresses at ease. I would hire Yazz Jazz over and over again! They were perfect!

treats her clients like they are her friends, trying her best to work with any obstacles that could come in the way. Book them for live music or DJ's! Thanks Amy!

to work with and so thorough. They make sure every wish you want comes true. Amy is a gem and is there to make your day shine. I couldn't recommend them enough and wish I could see them weekly to dance to my favorite cover songs. Their talent is just outstanding and you will never find a better band who will work with your budget and give you the quality they gave us. 10/10!

rm where I was able to put all of the specifics in for our event but was still able to give David some freedom to feel the crowd and go off that. The dance floor was packed the entire evening!

ow amazing the band was. Amy was amazing to work with throughout the planning process, and made everything so easy. She took the time to get to know us and our music tastes, and the songs they played were spot on! You need to book them!

with Dale the week of the wedding and literally my then Fiance said "OMG I am so relieved and less stressed because he is going to take care of us." And boy did he! Numerous times throughout the night he was checking in and calming us down (LOL). The music lineup was composed and setup well, I have never danced so much in my life. Too much fun. The dancing was a highlight for many of our guests and it will be something I will remember forever :) No complaints whatsoever. The cost was competitive to other DJ services we looked into and it was worth every penny. I say all of this, but it would not be possible without the owner of Yazz Jazz, Amy! She also was great throughout the whole process and she even followed up after! Do your self a favor and contact Yazz Jazz!

it was FABULOUS!!! Very different from your traditional wedding music. We dreamed of live music and this far exceeded our expectations!

the same company for both options meant that everything was coordinated seamlessly the day of the wedding. Amy was so organized throughout the process, had a great online planning tool, and even made a trip to see us on her way from another wedding, so that we could meet in-person. We knew going into the weekend that we were in good hands. The music added so much to our day. The live music during our cocktail hour and dinner created the perfect ambiance, and the DJ had the dance floor packed the entire night. We couldn't have been happier with how flexible, helpful, and talented Amy and her team were!

ls, our wedding stayed on schedule and our dance floor was packed all night. On top of all that, Amy was in communication with me the entire time leading up to our event. I highly recommend Yazz Jazz for your music entertainment.

a great emcee for the day. She also helped arrange our first dance song since we made a few changes and it was so perfect! I would definitely recommend using Yazz Jazz for your wedding or any important event!

and easy to work with. From the first time we met with Amy, it was a perfect match. She helped us structure our timeline for the entire reception and provided sound for our ceremony, too. There were no glitches at all. Amy was available and helpful in the lead-up to our big day and helped calm any nerves we had about the process. I have played heaps of wedding receptions with a variety of bands and can confidently say that it does not get better than Yazz Jazz. They effortlessly moved from one song to the next without any dead air, know a staggering amount of songs, and had our guests dancing the ENTIRE night. They have a Backstreet Boys medley! They have a 90’s rap medley! The singers—Amy, Joe, and Deonte all sound amazing, sang beautifully together, and brought so much energy. The horns were incredibly tight and are some of the best musicians I know. The rhythm section was equally impressive and there is not a drummer I know whom I’d rather listen to play No Diggity than Keith Brooks. The number one compliment we got the whole night, was how amazing the band was. And when even the professional musicians are raving about your wedding band, you know you have the right one.

l night! We met Amy at a wedding expo and right away I knew she was our answer! From the start it was all about Us and our wedding. She wanted to get to know our personalities and Our music tastes! When we were left unsure she can rattle off suggestions instantly and suggest what she has seen to draw in the crowd! Yazz Jazz knows what they are doing from start to finish. Our dance floor wasn't empty at all for the whole night! I'm 100% positive Yazz Jazz grew a fan club just within one night alone! My guests "Fan girled" over them the whole next day and every day since!

al meeting with Amy, it was pretty clear that Yazz Jazz was the way to go. Amy’s organized and down to earth personality- not to mention her killer vocals... we were sold. I told my fiancé that we had booked a band for the wedding and he seemed excited but he had yet to see them so his excitement did not match mine. When we were lucky enough to see them again at another showcase, Brian was floored at the talent, as well as their ability to get people on the dance floor. Amy stayed in contact with us touching base regarding schedule and song choices. I always felt like I knew what was going on. Her main goal was to make sure the night was what we wanted.. and boy was it. Yazz Jazz helped us throughout the ceremony, cocktail hour and to keep the reception flowing. My favorite part of my wedding day was being surrounded by my friends and family with my new husband on the dance floor. I couldn’t have asked for a better group of musicians to help us celebrate the big day. If you are lucky enough to book Yazz Jazz for the big day, you will not be disappointed.

your wedding an incredible and memorable occasion. They blew us away at the showcase and we knew we were in good hands. We also appreciated that Amy kept up with communication throughout the whole process and did her best to fit whatever songs and changes we wanted into the band's set. The night of the wedding, the band was incredible! We also had David DJ in between the band's sets and he was great. He even did our Wedding Party intros in the style of the Chicago Bulls introductions! The dance floor was packed all night and I had everyone coming up to me telling me they were the best wedding band they've ever seen. I would have to agree: Best. Wedding. Band. Ever!

our day absolutely perfect! Our venue had 3 rooms that the DJ needed to flip between and everything transitioned so smoothly! David kept everyone dancing all night and many of our guests told us it was the most fun wedding they have ever been to! I love that Amy checked in with me during the wedding day to make sure I was happy with how everything was going. We love Yazz Jazz!

our band is and the range of music they played. They learned and played every song I asked and added so many great ones of their own. Amy even gave us a card and a gift!!! Holy smokes! So kind and really great price. You will not be disappointed.

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.

way. Amy was nothing short of amazing since then. She was easy to work with and helped provide us with so many different ideas on how to create the "stage" of the wedding. Our main goal was to have all of our guests on the dance floor...and to say the least, every single person was on the dance floor that night. Friends of mine who normally don't dance, were out there busting a move! Amy, Isaiah and the rest of the 7 piece band exceeded our expectations. Nothing beats having the 3 vocalist out on the dance floor with us and dancing the night away. My dream wedding was met and exceeded with the help of yazz jazz! I consider them life long friends!

from the first song til the last, and our guests even begged for an encore (which they happily played!) They were nothing but professional through the whole planning process. Their online tool to help plan music was so helpful and easy to use. We were able to have input in the songs we did want to hear and the songs we didn’t want played. They crafted an amazing set list and let us hand pick the songs the DJ played during their breaks. People could not stop raving about how great the band was. Brooke is simply incredible, it has been three months and people are still talking about how amazing her voice was. You would be making a mistake to not book Yazz Jazz for your wedding or event, the dance floor was packed the entire evening. If you want a non-stop party book this band! 😊

atered to our unique needs every step of the way. They played music for every age group and even learned a couple of new songs for us. We were very happy with our choice to go with Yazz Jazz for our big day and they did not disappoint! My favorite part (apart from seeing everyone on the dance floor) was the music selection tool we used to pick out our music. This tool made it much easier to stay organized and pick our songs Overall, would certainly recommend!

unds better than the original recording, with lots of little details added to every arrangement and some really great medleys. With Amy's level of service and her band's musicianship, it's hard to think of a better outfit in metropolitan Chicago.

onths after our wedding. I would highly recommend them! Thanks so much Brooke and Amy!

usic for first dances, bouquet toss, entrances, etc... it made wedding planning an absolute breeze, and I love that we felt really confident going into our day. The simplicity of her online planning tools deserve an A+ on their own. Yazz Jazz will provide you with an amazing wedding band or DJ, whatever you prefer! I can’t wait to recommend her company to friends!

oor at one point and it was SO MUCH FUN. Amy and her group were great at reading the crowd and playing to the mood – this included playing a blend of songs we had suggested, avoiding songs we had requested not be played, and adding some of their own selections. One aspect of Yazz Jazz I really appreciated is they looked happy while playing and seemed to be having a good time! Amy was easy to contact throughout the planning process, and it was great to talk through our timeline/song choices before the event to make sure we were on the same page. We absolutely recommend Amy and Yazz Jazz!

details. Also, in the months leading up to the wedding, Amy was very responsive to any questions/concerns we had. Amy came to our walk-through a month before the big day to ensure she all the details covered for wedding day. She also worked closely with our wedding coordinator regarding the timeline on the wedding day. We gave Amy a lot of freedom to play what the band felt was appropriate and would keep our guests dancing. She did not disappoint! The dance floor was packed all evening and Yazz Jazz had such great energy. After the wedding many of our guests (and us) continued to say how fantastic the band was. If you want a wedding band that is professional, easy to work, plays awesome music, and keep your guests dancing, then pick Yazz Jazz. You will not be disappointed!

g!

breakfast when we were in town to meet us, ask us questions about what we want our wedding music to be like and to show us how the online planning form worked. The planning form itself was very well organized and without it, I'm sure we would have forgotten a lot of important music. DJ Dave S. who works with Amy was our DJ and did a phenomenal job! He flawlessly blended both American and Indian music for our fusion wedding, understood how to read the crowd, kept the dance floor busy the whole night and helped us with the flow of the reception tremendously. We highly recommend both Dave and Amy from Yazz Jazz for your event!

special. She learned a song that my mother in law requested for the mother and son dance and absolutely rocked it! But most importantly the dance floor was packed the entire night. I personally only left the dance floor to refill my drink lol! I had guests, and still do, telling me that my band was amazing. I know live music is a little more expensive than a DJ, believe me, my husband and I went back and forth on this, but it was money well spent. People don’t remember chair covers or what they ate, they remember the experience and Amy and Yazz Jazz made it a night I’ll never forget. Do yourself a favor, end your search, and book Yazz Jazz right now.

ughout the entire process and even worked out a few special request songs for us. It has been over 2 weeks since our reception and I still have people calling and telling me how much fun it was to have a live band at our wedding and how great the band was! I would not hesitate to spend that money again or to call Amy up for any future events (Which my wife is already trying to figure out ways to have the band perform again, lol) Yazz Jazz is money well spent, great group of people, super attentive, accommodating and TOP NOTCH service on your big day. Have to give a shout out to our favorite DJ JC as well who brought the house down between sets and for the last hour of our event!

volved in helping me pick out our songs (I had no idea what I was doing). Thank you so much, Amy for putting my husband and me at ease, and also for providing an amazing string quartet! We had so many people ask us where we found you guys!

with Amy several times to make sure we were on the same page about the vibe we were going for at our reception. Amy invited us to her band showcase which was such a great experience. After attending the showcase, my husband and I could not wait for Yazz Jazz to play at our reception. Our dance floor was jam packed the entire night, and Yazz Jazz even let my brother and I grab the mics and rap for our guests. The entire band was energetic, entertaining, professional, and incredibly talented. Our guests are still talking about how fun our reception was and we owe it all to Amy and Yazz Jazz. We HIGHLY recommend Yazz Jazz and can't wait to work with them again in the near future!

to us and made every decision easy to make. Their decision making process for music is easy to understand, well organized and fun to do. David, our DJ, was very prepared. He called us to make sure all of the information he had was correct, the order of the reception was set. He was so much fun and kept the energy up the entire reception. The atmosphere he created lasted the entire night and everyone at the reception was dancing. I would recommend Yazz Jazz to anyone and everyone who is looking for DJ entertainment. A truly kind and talented company.

ed in a DJ. The large white photo booth was definitely worth getting! IT was packed all night long. So many of my guests made compliments on how fun it was! As the bride and groom we loved that each set of photos printed out with copies for the guests but then also one that is out into a photo album that your guest write in. Yazz Jazz Entertainment was a huge part in making our day a dream come true!

o played seamlessly to Amy's beautiful voice that orchestrated the whole hour. It was great! Everyone loved it!! And seriously JC (our DJ) was sooooo perfect! He made sure all the music we wanted was played and then some. He did a great job getting the crowd to the dance floor and he was very interactive the WHOLE night. It was magical. Thank you Yazz Jazz! Special shout out to Amy for making everything easier and seamless leading to our special day! JC, you are definitely an incredible DJ and we know who to go to for future events! Thank you all for your professionalism and ability to make an event FUN! With Love, Arturo and Jennifer Bueno

red all of our questions with detail and even sang for us when we needed inspiration! We had lots of special requests, surprises and a wide range of culture we had to play music from. We had Russian, Italian, Spanish, Israeli and Greek dancing/music. Amy and JC (the DJ) worked with us on perfecting our playlist and really helped us organize everything so the night flowed well. In fact, they felt like our wedding planner because they were so helpful and organized. Yazz Jazz provided us with a trio for the ceremony and cocktail hour and then a nine piece band with DJ for our reception. They music was flawless, everyone danced the entire night and we had at least five people ask for their number to book them that very night! Dont waste your time thinking about going anywhere else, we saw them play for our friends wedding, booked them and then they literally helped make our wedding perfect. Thank you Yazz Jazz!!

tionnaire, which was seriously impressive and the number one reason I hired them! She is the coolest, kindest human being to work with. She lifted a huge load of stress off of my shoulders as I planned the wedding because she was on top of her game. I never had to reach out to her to make sure things where in place, she was two steps ahead of me- always! Cannot thank them enough for rocking our reception!

L night long. Yazz Jazz performed by far the best hora I've heard at any wedding!!! Amy was SO wonderful and easy to work with throughout the entire planning process. I cannot recommend Yazz Jazz enough!! Thank you for making our wedding so special!!

and singers in Chicagoland. They met our every song request and even learned a few that the band usually doesn't perform. The dance floor was packed all night with our guests of all ages. We have no doubts about recommending Yazz Jazz to anyone in the future.

of making sure everything went smoothly throughout the whole night and it was amazing. I have since been to some weddings of family and friends and have seen other entertainment and it just makes me appreciate them that much more! Thanks Yazz Jazz!

lanning put me at ease and provided me with a better timeline for the day than the rest of our vendors. Performance wise, the band was phenomenal. The music down the aisle was beautiful and just what we wanted. Dancing music was upbeat and lively. Everyone complemented us on our choice of bands.

went above and beyond! I will never forget the first time I reached out to Amy, she responded to my questions and arranged our meeting within 5 minutes of my message. They each met us separately in person prior to our wedding to make sure every detail was taken care of. David helped instruct me on making the perfect father daughter video for our dance, which would not have been possible without his weekly messages, instruction and set-up. Not to mention our wedding timeline was crafted so nicely for us and our guests - who enjoyed every moment. Both Amy and David went far beyond their job descriptions to make sure our night was everything we wanted and more. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a band or DJ for their special night! Thank you Yazz Jazz!

joined us at our Venue to walk through the whole night, in detail, from where the three piece group would sit, times when we and bridal party would walk in and so on. And Yazz Jazz band was bringing everyone out onto the dance floor. Their energy was heightening the night which you could see on the faces of our guests. Then the DJ came in and blasted our guests with more music to keep them on the dance floor. He and his team did such a great job of mixing up the music from our two different cultures. My husband and I were so pleased with how our special night turned out. I would recommend Yazz Jazz for any all occasions!

sure that she knew every detail of how I wanted the music to be and when it was time to shine, she not only met but exceeded every expectation that i have had! She is beyond talented and her team of professional musicians kept everyone on the dance floor the ENTIRE evening, which was one of my biggest requests! People are still raving about Amy and her band! My only recommendation is that you book them right away because talent like that books up fast! Thank you Amy from the bottom of my heart!

and my husband on our wedding day. Yazz Jazz ended up providing us ceremony music, cocktail music, and even a blended approach for the reception that was half band and half DJ. JC was our DJ and he killed it! This group is personable and really listens to what you are envisioning and bring that to life. They were incredibly reasonable and best of all, they ensured the music was rocking! We got many compliments and the dance floor was packed the whole night!!! if you are even debating hiring Yazz Jazz, just do it!!!

ted my quirky outdoor venue and rocked the night away with exactly the songs we wanted. They set up sound for the ceremony, DJ for dinner and the band for dancing. Our wedding was not the easiest place to do sound for an event but they nailed it! These guys are fantastic, oh, and they play incredible music. All our guests raved about how great the band and dance party were! Thank you!!

with and helped our bridal party get in place for the ceremony and David had our family on the dance floor all night! I would definitely recommend Yazz Jazz for any wedding or even party!

ng. It was like planning a wedding with a best friend who had been through it before. She was there every step and misstep with patience and understanding. We met a few times to go over details and Amy was always at the ready with suggestions for bridal salons, makeup artists and more. I trusted Amy to select a DJ that would mesh well with our tastes and personalities, and she did NOT disappoint. JC was 5 stars and more. On the day of our wedding, I would have been lost without her. She even helped me pull off a surprise for my husband. If you’re in need of affordable, top quality DJ services, Amy, JC, and Yazz Jazz Entertainment has you covered.

ile we chose a few songs to play, we also asked our DJ, Dave S, to play what he thought was best for the crowd... he nailed it! (several guests are still talking about how much fun the music/ dancing was)! Overall, we had an incredible experience with Yazz Jazz Entertainment!

m perform at a previous wedding and said thought they were pretty good. I trusted him and I am so glad I did! From the very beginning, Amy and her team were professional and exceptional! Their experience with weddings and receptions truly shows and they work hard to make the planning process very easy and stress-free. We chose the 7 piece band and DJ package. They provided the music and microphones for the wedding, live music for the cocktail hour, and all of the music for the reception. The band went out of their way to learn several songs and modified some songs that we had requested. I can't say enough about how professional they were, but I can never explain in words their talent. The entertainment they provided was priceless. The quality of their music, sound, and shear breadth of their repertoire was unbelievable. Our guests danced and celebrated the night like we had never expected. We cannot not possibly have had a better wedding and Yazz Jazz truly made it happen.

every step of the way. She made suggestions and pointed out details that hadn't even occurred to us. Her team of musicians and soloist are fantastic. For your next worry free event choose Yazz Jazz...you'll be glad you did.

layed violin and cello before during and after our ceremony. They played a mixture of classical music and modern music which was fun! Amy was very professional and I couldn't speak more highly of her. She is so sweet, quite the breath of fresh air when you are a nervous bride. Highly recommend Yazz Jazz Entertainment!

worry, it no longer exists!) . We needed to find new arrangements and crunch our budget. Amy and her teams have many different options for many types of budgets. She made me feel comfortable and safe. Making a bride feel safe is hard and she did that for me. She was professional and prompt. Yazz Jazz were a hit at our wedding and people loved them. They were reasonable and completely worth the investment. Thank you Yazz Jazz for making my dreams come true!

and I could not be happier with this choice and the guests are still talking about the band months later!

ter to and personalize your ceremony music to ensure that your day is unforgettable!

e on the dance floor and pleasing all generations at our wedding. I think we considered 15 different bands before deciding on this group and I couldn't be more pleased with our decision. Thank you for everything!!!

lections but your team did it! Everything from the intro music to the ceremony music to the cocktail hour was simply outstanding! Thank you for all your help along the way and for making our day sound so special!

to the date while still holding our date. She was great with helping us pick the perfect DJ for our wedding as well. She was absolutely correct that Dave was a great fit for us! Dave was amazing to work with as well. He was great about discussing what we were looking for and completely accommodating it. We made a playlist of suggested songs, but ended up telling him that we trusted his judgement. He did an incredible job of reading the crowd and playing each song at the perfect moment. Our guests were raving about the music and he had the dance floor packed the entire night. He even recorded our sparkler exit for us since our videographers had already left for the night! We had some major issues with our venue right before the wedding due to staff turnover. My fiance and I were very nervous about how the day would turn out since the venue was such a mess. Amy and Dave came to one of our meetings at the venue and completely took care of everything! They took charge and turned our wedding into the event that we hoped it would be! I truly believe that our wedding would not have been the event that we were looking to have without Yazz Jazz and I cannot thank them enough for their help. If you are considering using Yazz Jazz, look no further. It was the best decision that we made for our wedding and I would recommend them to anyone!

earned (from reading many reviews) that just because you see a band at their showcase, doesn't always mean they will ALL be performing at your wedding. Amy promised me at our first meeting (performance), "What you see is what you get!" and she was right. The band was great! My guest loved the music and it was music we wanted to hear and a little extra. We got nothing but compliments from our guest. Yazz Jazz was worth every penny and worth the many debates with my husband. He is so happy that we went with a band and not a DJ. Amy was so great with going over details and even on the day of my wedding. If you want to stand out from other weddings, you have to go with YAZZ JAZZ!

! Everyone complimented us on the great music from the start of the day to the end of the day. They were really surprised by the harp and violin during our ceremony and loved every second. It definitely was the perfect addition to our wedding. One of the many things we'll never forget about the day was hearing "All Of Me" and seeing Cliff tearing up as I walked towards him. Amy was such an amazing help! I had a mini breakdown right before the ceremony, but Amy was so patient and helpful during all the chaos. It really helped me, and I'll never forget it!

fun for everyone. We didn't have a wedding planner, so on the day of the wedding, Amy stepped in and helped with the flow of events. Our wedding went off without a hitch, and I think a large part of that was thanks to Amy and her organization and guidance throughout the day. She is very passionate about music, and it comes through when you work with her. She really cared about our wedding, and went above and beyond to make sure we had an incredible day.

wanted, custom tailoring the music program, finding specialty musicians, and working with us on custom music. For the ceremony, her team played a song with provided music but had to adapt it for different instruments, and it came out amazing. For our first dance song, Amy's group arranged a custom version of a song based exactly on what we wanted the band to play, and it was flawless. Superior musicians, including Amy herself, provided great entertainment which made every guest mention how great the band was. Amy herself took care of us during consultations, via email, via phone, and worked especially hard the day of to help out with any and all details, including ones she wasn't really responsible for. We can't thank her and the band enough for helping us entertain our guests on our big day and we wish her and her group the best of luck going forward. If you book this band, you will be blown away!

d a guitarist to accompany her. I would definitely recommend Yazz Jazz to anyone that I know who is getting married!

immediately. She was EXTREMELY helpful through the entire planning process of the DJ, band, and live pianist for the cocktail hour. She arranged everything, and even drove the 2 hours north to the location a month early to meet me and see the space. The day of the wedding everything went SEAMLESSLY!! The band was excellent, the DJ went above and beyond (even stayed an additional 30 minutes at the end of the night because everyone was having so much fun. We were not even charged a dime for that! So nice). Overall, for being so affordably priced and what Amy did for me and the entire experience I could not have dreamt up a better team to work with!! Thank you guys so much!!

ed the day before our wedding and all the planning of a year and a half had to be changed at the last minute but JC and Macho were able to help us out last minute. I'm so grateful to them and my guests really enjoyed themselves at our reception. Thank you JC and Macho.
