Cocktail Party•Reviewed on March 10, 2020•From Fairfax, VA
The Cognac Jazz Band made our event absolutely incredible & our guests will be talking about them for years to come! From the moment I requested a Jazz Band to the night of the event, & all the days in between, Steve, was professional, prompt, detail oriented, helpful, & just a pleasure to work with! At the event, the entire band was professional and the setup was amazing. As requested, they started our Roaring 20's party with background music to allow for mingling, then finished by stepping it up a notch, which got our guests out of their seats & on the dance floor! It was a lovely night that wouldn't have been the same without the Cognac Jazz Band! Thank you guys!

Wedding Reception•Reviewed on July 14, 2019•From Washington, DC
We had an excellent experience with the band! We unhesitatingly recommend this group as they made our wedding day very special. They sound really amazing and played our first dance song (along with every other song) beautifully! We received so many compliments from our guests on the whole set, everyone (jazz lovers and those new to jazz) was so impressed. The guys are very professional, friendly, and extremely easy to work with. We are so, so happy that we had Cognac Jazz play at our wedding. They were one of the best vendor decisions we made. Thank you, Cognac Jazz!!!! We wish you guys lots of success and will definitely hire you the next chance we get!

Corporate Function•Reviewed on May 6, 2019•From Washington, DC
We had a corporate reception and were looking to liven it up this year as our band last year fell a little flat. Cognac Jazz was anything but that this year! The vocals and background jazz were a huge hit and had everyone feeling the music and in a good mood. Since our event, I've heard nothing but rave reviews from all of our attendees that not only was the event a success and possibily the best yet, but the band was OUTSTANDING! Our client is already wanting to secure them for next year. Steve and his bandmates were extremely professional, arrived early, and very communicative. Thank you guys again for cranking our 2019 reception up a few notches!

Funeral•Reviewed on March 20, 2019•From McLean, VA
Cognac Jazz is fabulous. We hired them for a post-funeral party celebrating my father and to give my father a New Orleans style send off at the grave. The band couldn't have been better. They are a perfectly balanced and talented quintet. At the party, they performed a range of wonderful jazz favorites - from Dixieland up to the present. Their trumpet player is also a great singer, which both gave variety and allowed for a few special requests (like "All of Me"). At the grave (despite rain), they played A Closer Walk with Thee and When the Saints Go Marching In. It was beautiful and uplifting. They were professional and know how to fit the event.
