Valerie Sent on 10/14/2024Best jazz wedding band in bay!
We had the absolute pleasure of working with Garuda Blue for our wedding, and they were simply outstanding from start to finish. Their versatility, professionalism, and responsiveness made the entire process so smooth and stress-free. They learned three special song requests for us, and I had the honor of singing with them. The instrumental versions they played were nearly identical to the originals, making it easy for me to follow along and enjoy the performance.
During the rehearsals, all the band members were so easy to get along with. They patiently guided me to fit into their instrumentals, and even the rehearsal footage itself was so nice to watch afterward. Their proficiency and expertise really shone through—they were able to effortlessly play songs from various genres and even modulate to different keys to accommodate my vocal range.
Communication with them was effortless—they provided all the detailed information I needed and really helped calm my nerves. The rehearsals gave me so much reassurance and confidence for the big day.
On the day of the wedding, they arrived early to set everything up, and the show they put on was nothing short of magnificent. Their soft, romantic jazz during dinner set the perfect mood. Later, during the party dance time, their hit pop songs were vibing so much that even the shyest guests hopped onto the dance floor! The entire crowd was energized, and we all had an unforgettable time.
If you’re looking for a band that goes above and beyond to deliver a perfect, unforgettable performance, I cannot recommend Garuda Blue highly enough! -

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. -

Great sound and musical range
Garuda Blue played at my 60th birthday party at the Sweetwater Music Hall in Mill Valley. They played light jazz outside on the patio, a jazz set on stage and then several hours of dance music ranging from the 60s to contemporary. I'm a singer and half of the audience were musicians. My wife and I sang a duet accompanied by them, as did two friends who had brought jazz arrangements to them to practice a few months before the event. Everyone loved the band. Abe and the group were a joy to work with. I can highly recommend Garuda Blue for your event. -

We hired Garuda Blue for our wedding, and they were absolutely phenomenal. They are beyond communicative, extremely professional and flexible, and they are incredible musicians who will make your wedding truly memorable. I’m a trained jazz musician myself, and these guys truly know their stuff. They played all the hits and had the crowd dancing nonstop.
We had guests begging the band to play more songs — honestly, book Garuda Blue. You will not regret it, and you’ll have a blast. They are worth every penny and more. -

Abe and his crew are terrific!
We hired them for dance music at the end of an auction event. Dinner service was slow after the presentation finished, so we asked them to play easy back-ground music that we had not originally asked for. They were able to easily go with the flow and come up with several numbers that fit the mood perfectly, before switching over to dance music. -

We hired Garuda Blue to perform out our wedding, during the ceremony, dinner and reception. Every part of their involvement was fantastic. Abe was so easy to work with and very professional. My husband is a huge music snob and was very impressed with the talent and range of the entire band. All the guests (including us) were dancing the night away and Garuda definitely kept the party going. If you are looking for an A+ live band for your event, you won't be disappointed. -
