Review by Christine B.
Wedding Reception•Reviewed on May 4, 2019•From Newtown, PA
We booked B.D. and his band for our wedding last month at Rose Bank Winery and they were absolutely AWESOME! B.D. was extremely professional and top notch from the very first interaction. We wanted to have jazz music as part of our event but also wanted a band that could play other things well on top of that. And that's exactly what we got! They did jazz music during the cocktail hour. Our guests loved it! During the reception they had everyone dancing. They also learned "I Love You (For Sentimental Reasons)" by Nat King Cole for our first dance. Thank you, Justin, for making that moment so perfect! Our guests had a great time! This band is truly talented!

Private Party•Reviewed on September 16, 2022•From Howell, NJ
BD is an absolute must to add class to your event. He played solo at our event and people were blown away by his talent. He came prepared and professional and was amicable and easy to work with! So many people reached out saying they wanted him for their events due to his fabulous song selection and smoothness. Book him for your next party! Our shower was better because we had BD!

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on May 21, 2022•From West Orange, NJ
BD was fantastic!! The jazz duo was the perfect addition to our outdoor 40th birthday party, and our guests (and we) were impressed with their talent. They arrived early and were self sufficient, accommodating, professional, and friendly. We left the setlist up to them, and they did a perfect job reading the crowd and mood for 4 hours. Even indulged our 6 year old’s request for an artist likely not in their wheelhouse. We enthusiastically recommend BD Lenz and hope to have the opportunity to team up again in the future!
