Reviews
Fantastic! Sadly, I only heard them play a year after my wedding as they would have killed it. They have a lot of range, an original sound and fun takes on the classics / top 40, if thats what youre into. Definitely tracking their future gigs and would recommend them.
Peter FThe Blue Dot Jazz Troupe above all else plays soothing jazz melodies. They never compete with the wedding party and guests but offer appropriate background music. Rooted in the music of New Orleans, they blend blues, funk, and Afro-Cuban melodies. They are also very accommodating for any special requests.
Howard MAmazing experience! Blue Dot created an amazing atmosphere, seamlessly moving from a welcoming vibe before dinner to an upbeat tone as we danced into the night. We couldn't have been happier with their professionalism and the genuine good energy they gave off from start to finish!
Danny TAndy and the Blue Dot Jazz Troupe were brilliant! They were perfect for our wedding party and played through the reception, dances, and dinner. Fully recommend and great to work with.
James HWe hired Blue Dot Jazz Troupe for our wedding and the band is extremely talented. They have a vast knowledge of styles of jazz, a great song bank, and understood our style and requests. The band played music for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and a portion of the reception. They played everything from “La Vie en Rose” to Stevie Wonder and we even did a second line! Andy and the band are so professional. They worked very well with our DJ and also a friend of mine who sang at the wedding. So accommodating, excellent musicians, professional, and fun! One of the easiest vendors we worked with and made a huge impact on our event! Will hire again!
Erin MThe group were excellent and we will definitely re-book. Their level of professionalism was precisely what we seek and their willingness to learn a unique and unknown song was testament to their sheer level of excellence. They added a touch of class to our event. Highly Recommendable 5*
Michael GWe loved having Blue Dot jazz Troupe provide entertainment at our private house party. The troupe was configured just perfectly to ensure that the sound fit with the size and scale of the house. The repertoire was on point and the delivery was masterful. Our guests loved to lounge, listen and dance to the beautiful vocals and instrumentals of the familiar favorite songs. High recommend Blue Dot Jazz Troupe!
