Your repertoire is fun and classy, perfect for our wedding reception. Thanks!

Laura P

Martinson Jazz Quintet – The music fit perfectly, we were able to talk to each other and people got up and danced when they wanted just as we had hoped. Also thank you for backing me up on my special song. We had found other instrumental groups but having the vocalist just makes it that much more special. Thank you.

Hello, I am happy to recommend Diane Martinson Swing Jazz and Variety Band to you. Diane and the band are very professional and talented musicians. We had about 200 guests attend our wedding, the Jazz Trio played for 1.5 hours during dinner, and the 8-piece Band played for 4.5 hours during the dance.

One of my favorite parts of my wedding was the music. I was very happy with both bands and have had at least 30 people that attended my wedding compliment the bands. I compared their music selection and experience to at least 10 other bands before booking them for my wedding.

It is not that much more expensive to book the jazz trio in addition to the variety band and it made a huge difference at my wedding. A lot of guests do not stay for the dance portion of the reception (even if there is a live band) so having a band during dinner made the experience better for those guests. It also set the ambiance for dinner.

Before the wedding Diane was very helpful. She even offered to learn two new songs for me. I am happy with the songs they played; it wasn’t the same songs you hear at every other wedding. We had about 75-100 people stay to the very end of the dance. The dance floor was full all night.

The only other thing I can say is that out of all the vendors I used for the wedding I am happiest with Diane Martinson Music. I am happy with the service they provided me. I certainly hope that you decide to book them for your wedding and that you are as happy as I am if you do. Good luck with your planning and your new life together.

Diane (Jazz Duo) – Thank you for the beautiful music.

Diane, I just had to tell you your band is tremendous. We had more people stay around and dance after the auction than in the years past. I love your mix of music. We will recommend your variety band to another school looking for entertainment for their gala.

Patric M

Thank you for making our annual fund raiser such a success. We received great feedback on you and your jazz combo. You provided a sense of elegance, with a playful spirit. It was delightful to hear people hum along, and remark at what a great selection of music you had. With all of the details we coordinated, it was refreshing to have our musicians operate so professionally and independently.

Diane, Thank you so much for coordinating very talented musicians for our American Heart Association event. I sent [your solo pianist] Joy a thank you, but please let Jerry and ‘the [jazz combo] crew’ know how fabulous they were! We raised over $12,000 and could not have done it without you.

Diane was extremely personable and professional and the results were fantastic. As a professional entertainer, her experience was evident as she helped us pick the song list in advance, arrive and set-up on time, and perform with style. All of the band members were extremely polite, courteous, and excellent musicians.

Diane, your Jazz Duo music at the dinner reception was terrific. We loved the mix of Sinatra, Fitzgerald, Bublé songs and the James Taylor special request. You and JJ are so versatile, performing a beautiful ceremony for us and then the fun dinner music too. I heard many compliments, thank you.

Debbie M

Bridal Consultant, Classic Wedding Consultants Ltd.

Diane, Thank you so much for the great music you played for our reception on June 18th! I had lots of people come up to me and say how wonderful the music was! Thanks again!

Katie & Josh F

We were very happy with the music Diane provided! We had the 7-piece Swing Jazz and Variety group and they REALLY made the party. We had a full dance floor for 3 hours.

Since the wedding we have had many comments about how great the band was and the variety of music… where did you find that band! They have a long list of arrangements you can pre-select. The arrangements are very full and rich.

I appreciated the business like manner Diane uses to plan for the event including contract, music selection, arrangements with the reception facility etc. There were no loose ends. We had background music during social hour, built to a three piece group for dinner and then the band quietly slipped in and began music for the evening.

We are already planning another dance party and plan to have them “back by popular demand.” A key feature of this group seemed to be they can pick up the vibe of the moment and adjust the music… length of song, intensity etc. If we had a group dance going they could keep the music going instead of cutting the moment short because the tune was done, etc.

Summary: I highly recommend them.

Mark D

Please tell your band what a great job they did and how pleased we all were! Take care!

Melanie

Martinson Jazz Quintet, Thank you so much, our guests raved about you all during the night. The music was wonderful!
