The Secret Jazz Band played at our wedding and we all LOVED them. They played our first dance song live and NAILED it. I attend a lot of live music performances and I rate The Secret Jazz Band as a top notch band. Their talent is amazing as is their professionalism and communication. The ambiance they provided for our special evening will be forever foremost in our memories. Have I mentioned, I just couldn't stop dancing?! and our guests are still talking about "the band"! Our Day Of Planner has added them to her preferred vendor list. We took someone's advise in their review – “hire them and don’t look back” – and now I’m passing that advice to you too!
FEATURED IN EVENT SOLUTIONS MAGAZINE - "With a voice like Ella Fitzgerald and the looks of a speakeasy singer from the '30s, Katie Harris and her band provide the perfect combination of ambiance and entertainment for your event… the group focuses on classic jazz standards such as "At Last" and "I've Got You Under My Skin." Their musical styles make them the perfect act for social or corporate events of all sizes." -Aubrey Blankenship, Event Solutions
