Genevieve J. Sent on 08/29/2024Best dance party, amazing voice, and so easy to work with! We love Joan Zen!!
Joan Zen played our annual Farm Party, a fundraiser and friendraiser for Garden City Harvest here in Missoula, Montana. The band is a group of dedicated professionals with talent and passion. They bring a just the right mix of their own original tunes and covers that were both classic and fresh. The combo got everyone on the dance floor. At our event, the tent was full of people of all ages and dance abilities moving and grooving and feeling an amazing togetherness. The band came highly recommended - I heard that you had to get to the Union Club, a popular local dance spot, early just to get a square of dance space the nights they played. And they did not disappoint. Additionally, working with them was seamless -- so easy to coordinate the many details that go into planning a large event. Our sound engineer was thrilled, too, because they are so organized, friendly, and generally fantastic humans to be around. We would work with them again in a New York minute.Joan Zen's reply:
Despite the rain, the event was flawless. Great food! Fun atmosphere, a really wonderful time! Thanks for having us! -

We changed our wedding date so we could have Joan Zen Band there. She added so much to our special day. The band learned a song for our first dance and nailed the sax solo. We heard from all our guests about how much they added to the experience and even had guests invite them to play in Alaska. We would 100% recommend them.Joan Zen's reply:
Thanks for making it all so easy for us to serenade you! Your first dance song was perfect, and one of our favorites from the 80’s. It was a pleasure to meet all your family and friends! -

We were able to book Joan Zen for piano music during the appetizers and cocktail hour, for special songs to lead into our ceremony and a full band for after dinner dancing. The musical quality of Joan Zen is top tier as is the quality of the humans who make up the band. It was such a honor to have them build the musical backbone of our special day. Thank you all!!Joan Zen's reply:
It was a truly magical day. Thank you so much for including us. We wish you all the love in the world! -

Thanks, Jon, and how we miss playing at our favorite club in Montana! Can’t wait to get back to it. Hope y’all are hanging in there. -

Joan Zen rocked it. Highly recommend
From the time they started playing to the end of the night, the dance floor was packed! So much energy and fun. Everyone loved them.
They also played during the ceremony which was magical. If you are considering Joan Zen for your wedding or event, they’re worth every penny.Joan Zen's reply:
What a magical day! The rain turning to snow right with the kiss I DO, was over the top romantic! Can’t wait to see the pictures of it. Thanks for choosing Landslide….one of my all time favorites. -

I can not be more grateful for Joan Zen. Her band was able to deliver above and beyond what we expected. Not only were they able to learn all of our requested ceremony and reception songs, they performed the songs with brilliance and timed them so perfectly that it made our wedding a dream both to be part of and to watch. Numerous guests have remarked how good the music and dancing was (and we had a serious dance party!). The live piano ceremony music and procession was my favorite part of the entire wedding. Unfortunately, it began to rain as our ceremony was supposed to begin and Joan Zen was flexible enough to quickly mobilize to play cocktail music under the tent as the rain passed. As soon as we could perform the ceremony, the band began our processional song 'Here Comes the Sun' just as the sun peaked above the dark clouds. The band was so in tune with the mood, the moment and the feel of the ceremony that it made, as many guests have said, the wedding appear like a movie playing out in front of them. THANK YOU so much for helping make our wedding the party of the decade : )Joan Zen's reply:
It was like a movie! So romantic and New York New York bringing the crowd to their feet when you exited the auto for the procession! Magical! Thanks for having us be there! -

Our organization has hired Joan Zen to play at our community event every year for many, many years and they are always an absolute hit. They are perfect for getting people up and dancing and create the festive vibe we are looking for for our events.
