Perfect Band!

Garuda Blue was the perfect band for my daughter's wedding. Everyone enjoyed the music, both the sophisticated jazz during cocktails and dinner, and then especially the dance pop later in the evening as things heated up. The players were all excellent musicians, and they looked sharp, too. The communication leading up to the event was good, and the band was extremely professional at all times. This is a quality organization. My daughter and her new husband were very happy with Garuda Blue, and many of the wedding guests made a point of telling me how much they enjoyed the band. I highly recommend them.

Wedding Bliss

Garuda Blue was the perfect choice for our son's wedding. He picked the band based on his own years as a musician and playing in bands. Talking with Abe, the band's leader, our son knew immediately that his choice of music, number of band members, length of sets, etc. would be respected. And, indeed honored they were. The band pleased all ages at the reception and provided the perfect tone for the entire party. If you need a band, stop here. Book them! They are in high demand. We feel lucky to have secured a top-notch, professional, and exceptionally talented group of musicians.

Garuda Blue is a great band

The Garuda Blue Band made our reception really fun. They are excellent musicians and know how to make events seem to flow naturally. They earned enthusiastic praise from the musicians and non-musicians, young and old, dancers and non-dancers among our guests. They were incredibly easy to work with as well. I can't recommend them highly enough.
