Weddings — Denver & Colorado

Live jazz for your wedding day

One band that carries your whole day — an elegant duo for the ceremony, warm standards through cocktail hour, and a rhythm section that fills the dance floor at the reception.

How it works

Music that follows your timeline

The band grows with the day — same musicians, no awkward changeovers.

01

Ceremony

A duo — bass and keys — with custom arrangements for your processional and recessional. Understated, beautiful, never canned.

02

Cocktail Hour

Standards and bossa nova at conversation volume. The room feels like a film scene; your guests still hear each other.

03

Reception

Add drums and the energy lifts — Latin jazz that gets people moving without a DJ drop in sight. First dance arranged your way.

Questions

Wedding FAQ

How much does a live jazz band cost for a wedding?
Every wedding is different — ceremony only, cocktail hour, full reception, or all three — so we quote each event individually. Send an inquiry with your date, venue, and rough timeline and you’ll have a custom quote within 24 hours.
Can you cover the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception?
Yes — that arc is what live jazz does best. A favorite shape: an intimate duo for the ceremony and cocktail hour, then adding drums for a trio or quartet as the reception picks up. We’ll help you map music to your timeline.
Can you learn our first-dance song?
Absolutely. We arrange special requests — first dances, processionals, a song that matters to your family — as part of the booking.
Do you have a singer?
Our core sound is instrumental jazz, and vocals are available on request for any configuration. Tell us what you have in mind and we’ll build the right lineup.
What does the band need from our venue?
Not much: level floor space, shade or cover if outdoors, and access to standard power. We’re self-contained — we bring our own PA and gear, and a duo fits in a corner.
Do you travel outside Denver?
Yes. We regularly play Boulder and the Front Range, and we take weddings in the mountain towns and beyond — travel is quoted with the event.
