But, I said I wanted Sauvignon Blanc and they had it as a selection. I got there and had paid for a reservation and a bottle of wine, they didn't have a Blanc! They had a Chardonnay. We had a good time though and they needed more food selections. I would do it again next year but I would bring my own food and chairs reserving a table was not worth the price.

A musician's dream!…read more Per the recommendation of our wedding planner, we worked with Hella Fitzgerald for our wedding in Big Sur, CA in August 2023. One of the best decisions we made for our wedding. I am a musician myself and had a lot of specifications for what I wanted throughout our ceremony, first dance, and dancing portions of the evening. And I mean a LOT of specifications! Music is something I am very particular about. Lilan worked closely with me on everything from which 2nd singer to hire to match the feel we wanted (the band works with various singers) to learning new songs that we had requested to adjusting songs to specific BPMs!!! She never seemed to lose her patience with me and would text me randomly with ideas or singer leads. One time she even texted me a couple vocal riffs she sang into her phone to see what I would prefer. We wanted a fun, sexy, big band feel and a talented group of musicians who could perform soul, Latin, swing, R&B, and everything in between. That is exactly what we got. We never left the dance floor. Thank you HF!

Every musician in the band was outstanding. They accommodated all of our requests, including an extra long hora. :) All of our guests loved them and it was so refreshing to have 'real' music at our daytime event.

Ollie and Jazz Odyssey were fun, pleasant to work with talented! I am a pro event planner and…read moreprefer to hire bands directly, rather than pay an agent. I was fortunate when my girlfriend and I went out to the Local Edition and Ollie was playing with Jazz Odyssey. I thought they were great at the time as I sipped on my $18 cocktail but didn't think much more of it! Flash forward to a couple of weeks later when my super-well-know tech client, who was throwing an 1,100+ employee holiday party at the Exploratorium in San Francisco, requested a jazz band. I quickly figured out how to reach Ollie and his band and booked them to play. They were amazing, providing the perfect ambiance for folks to hang out and connect with each other without being overpowered by the music. That said, there's no doubt in my mind they could easily command an audience and play jazz standards that appeal to everyone too. Given the chance, I would not hesitate to hire them again!

We'd seen Ollie and the band play on several YouTube videos we'd found online but nothing really compared to having them play live. As a jazz band they brought a beautiful energy to our wedding reception that impressed not just us but our 150 wedding guests. The music really was so beautiful and executed to perfection. Ollie is very easy going and was amenable to all our requests. A big shout out to Ben the keyboardist, too, who played Otis Redding's "(Sittin' on) The Dock of the Bay" as we walked down the aisle :) They really were a great band to work with :)

Radio Gatsby absolutely crushed it at our wedding and we are still talking about it!…read more We had a solo pianist for the ceremony, a quartet during cocktail hour, and a full band for dinner and dancing. Every part of the day had its own perfect vibe and they nailed all of it. They played every song we wanted and steered completely clear of the ones we didn't, which honestly meant so much to us. Our guests would not stop raving about the music all night and weeks after! We loved every second of it. The dance floor was full from start to finish. If you are looking for musicians who will genuinely make your day feel like YOUR day, book Radio Gatsby. You will not regret it!

And then when the band started playing during the dinner, it was clear that they would make the night. People were dancing even before the dinner ended and the dance party began. Radio Gatsby brought so much energy with their renditions of the songs we chose; the floor was crowded with dancers all night as they played banger after banger. They took great solos, sang beautiful vocals, and made every moment special, from the first dance to the hora to the last song. It was well worth the extra expense of having a live band instead of a DJ, no question about it!

Easy to communicate and plan with and their performance really elevated our reception. We let them know what kind of vibe and tempo we liked ahead of time and they did the rest choosing songs to play for the reception to keep things upbeat without being overpowering. Daniel checked in with us at various points throughout the night to ensure the vibes were right and if we needed any adjustments. Nova Jazz also was able to play a special request song outside of their listed repertoire for our first dance which we really appreciated and was very special for us. We'd recommend them for weddings and any other special events when you want extra pizzazz!

After reading all the…read morereviews and listening to a few of their videos online, I knew I wanted Nova Jazz Band to play at my company's 30th Anniversary celebration I was planning. TLDR; they exceeded every expectation from start to finish, and Daniel made everything completely stress-free. From our very first correspondence, Daniel was very friendly, quick to respond, knowledgeable, and incredibly professional. The music was phenomenal - very classy and perfect for our occasion. The band totally nailed the vibe. Daniel's attention to detail was next-level. He thought of all the little things that usually fall through the cracks - from what songs should play during the band's breaks, to how the sound system was set up, to which speakers the recorded music should come from. He even coordinated with the venue director to make sure there wouldn't be a single hiccup. Basically, he handled every possible thing before I could even think to worry about it. Everything ran like clockwork and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Daniel and his team went above and beyond in every way. I can't wait to hire them for a future event! Highly, highly recommend!

The band is so…read moretalented and brings a ton of energy to every single song...so much so that the dance floor was packed the whole time they played, despite less than warm temperatures outside! Guests remarked during and after the event at how incredible they were. I also loved working with Jeff who was extremely responsive and professional from day one up until our wedding day. Collaborating with Busta-groove was totally seamless and stress-free. I'm so grateful that Busta-groove played at our wedding. They made it so spirited and so fun. My only regret is that the dancing didn't last longer due to a 10pm noise ordinance as everyone definitely would have kept going for hours! I would HIGHLY recommend Busta-groove for any event!

They are fun, energetic, incredibly talented, and they have a huge playlist. Jeff, the main contact person, was fantastic. He was available by phone and email and seemed to return calls within minutes. He invited us to hear the band perform, came to our walk through, and worked with us to make things happen just as we wanted. They learned a song for us free of charge and played music that we requested during their break in order to incorporate some cultural music that we wanted. At the end of the night our guests were begging the band to keep playing, and if the museum wasn't kicking us out our friends would have kept dancing all night. We are so glad we found busta-groove and recommend them as highly as we possibly can. They are awesome in every way.
