1000/10 all across the board for Yazz Jazz Entertainment. We first met Amy at the Stan Mansion open house. We got the pamphlet, scheduled a date to meet and from that point moving forward, we knew we were going with Yazz Jazz. We met with Amy pretty early in the process and told her the vision for our Tim Burton wedding and the group delivered beyond our expectations. My husband's only rule was "we can't hire the DJ unless he knows who Bassnectar is." She facetimed JC during our meeting and it was final - bride wanted band .. groom wanted DJ .. and everything fell perfectly into place. If you're on the fence because of money, please allocate the appropriate amount of your budget to hire Yazz Jazz because it will be worth every.single.penny. Wedding month - She drove all the way to Logan Square to attend the walkthrough for the venue... in Chicago rush hour... Instant nomination for sainthood. She met with us the following week to finalize songs, special dances and requests, and the timeline of the day. Short notice we realized the timeline was bumped up a 1/2 hour and no problem, they still delivered and extended the set. Wedding day - The DJ nailed everyone's name, even the hard-to-pronounce Polish maid of honor, and the entire ballroom was on their feet for our entrance. JC read the room and ensured people we're having a great time. During our dinner, he played Danny Elfman music from Burton movies. He helped execute our theme to the t. Short notice, my dad and I cancelled our dance and no one would have noticed because the transition was so seamless. The opening song, Let's Get It Started, packed the dance floor and it continued to stay packed the entire night. Everyone loved Yazz Jazz and we've heard multiple couples already mention they want them for their wedding. All of the vocalists were engaged with the audience. Originally, since I am Team NSYNC, I nixed the backstreet boys medley. Amy triple checked with me that it was okay to play and out of the respect of my bridesmaid (who breathes BSB) I agreed. They killed the BSB medley and let the bridesmaid sing a line. It was perfect (and later balanced out by NSYNC songs). The band was dancing and on the floor with us the entire night. The performance was incredible. Amy was so helpful throughout the planning process. She recommended multiple vendors, met with us multiple times, responded to every single text, email, and phone call. Her work ethic is astounding. At one point she was even helping rip open glow stick packaging for our exit. If Amy wasn't there, our day would have felt incomplete. The amount of effort that Yazz Jazz puts into making your big day perfect is priceless. We cannot thank them enough. read more

Amy and YazzJazz Entertainment were a dream for our wedding! We chose YazzJazz because it's a one stop shop for all of your entertainment needs! We knew we wanted live music and a DJ for our wedding, and YazzJazz can make anything you dream up happen. We had strings (Violin and Cello) for our ceremony, a jazz trio with Amy singing for cocktail hour, and DJ Dale for the reception. DJ Dale was AMAZING. He was thorough during our planning meeting, making sure every dance, speech, and special moment was covered. The day of he found us to quickly confirm everything was still correct. He was able to play a little of everything we wanted, old classics, country, and throwback R&B music. The way he mixed everything together to flow was amazing. Everyone had such a great time. Due to COVID, we had to decrease our guest list by about 200 people. We reached out to Amy to see if she could help us live stream our ceremony, and of course she pulled through! She set us up with Mike, who was able to find a way to get internet in a rural area, live stream our event on Youtube with high quality video and sound, multiple camera angles, and it turned into a recording right after so we could watch our live stream on our mini-moon! Amy and her team are true rock stars and we cannot thank them enough for making our day perfect. The communication was always amazing with Amy and her team. Amy even went out to our venue to check out the internet situation ahead of time to make sure everything would run smoothly. You can tell she really cares about her business and her clients and it shows through her work. I can't recommend Amy and Yazz Jazz enough. You will not regret booking them! Do it! read more

Amy and her team were truly amazing to work with. You can tell immediately that Amy takes pride in her work and that she values getting to know couples on a personal level to tailor their services to their particular style on the day of their wedding. Amy met with us in person initially and described in detail how their services work and all of the options we could choose from. We quickly decided to go with them for their professionalism, ease of communication, price and clear expertise in the field. Amy worked to find us musicians to play during our ceremony for the songs of our choosing. We chose nontraditional music and wanted to stick with two musicians rather than three to stay within our budget and Amy was able to make it work. The musicians were simply amazing and made our ceremony so special. Amy also came to the venue for a walk-through to ensure that she knew where to set up all of the equipment on the day of. A few weeks before our wedding Amy took us out to dinner with our DJ for the reception in order for us to get to know each other in addition to the extensive online personalization tools they have available. It was great getting to know JC (our DJ) and having the opportunity to talk to him about the vibe for our wedding. We have very eclectic taste in music and know that what we like may not be the music that's going to get everyone dancing -- JC was able to keep our "vibe" while ensuring that our guests were on their feet dancing the entire night! It was such a fun party and JC can clearly "read the room" because he knew exactly what to play to keep the party going strong. We highly recommend Amy, Yazz Jazz, JC and their entire team. read more

Yazz Jazz Entertainment was unimaginably magnificent. My husband and I love live music and we decided we wanted live music at our wedding and reception. We chose Yazz Jazz because my husband (who works in the hospitality industry) had heard them perform at a previous wedding and said thought they were pretty good. I trusted him and I am so glad I did! From the very beginning, Amy and her team were professional and exceptional! Their experience with weddings and receptions truly shows and they work hard to make the planning process very easy and stress-free. We chose the 7 piece band and DJ package. They provided the music and microphones for the wedding, live music for the cocktail hour, and all of the music for the reception. The band went out of their way to learn several songs and modified some songs that we had requested. I can't say enough about how professional they were, but I can never explain in words their talent. The entertainment they provided was priceless. The quality of their music, sound, and shear breadth of their repertoire was unbelievable. Our guests danced and celebrated the night like we had never expected. We cannot not possibly have had a better wedding and Yazz Jazz truly made it happen. read more

We were referred to Amy Yassinger of Yazz Jazz through our wedding photographer, and our long search was immediately over. We wanted an intimate experience for a smaller 80-person wedding, with music that would not only accent our special day, but definitely get everyone dancing. From the very beginning, Amy helped us plan every step, from the prelude music, to the happy hour ensemble to dinner, and ultimately the ceremony and dancing. Amy tailored the musicians and music to our own personal needs, size of venue and our clergy, even helping us get the sound system just right from beginning to end. We were offered a range of musicians and singers, and given the choice to select our own songs. To get started, we described our needs for our day, and our musical preferences. Amy skillfully matched her musicians to our desires. She kept in touch, coordinated with our venue and vendors seamlessly, and exceptionally delivered. Our music was spectacular from beginning to end, and all delivered within our budget. We had quiet moments during dinner, yet when we wanted the dancing to begin, it did. We highly recommend Yazz Jazz, and for a wide array of functions and events. read more

We were so pleased we chose Amy and her band, Yazz Jazz! We hired Amy a year before our wedding. From the beginning she was professional, reliable, and easy to work with. We had a couple of in-person meetings and phone calls to go over all the details. Also, in the months leading up to the wedding, Amy was very responsive to any questions/concerns we had. Amy came to our walk-through a month before the big day to ensure she all the details covered for wedding day. She also worked closely with our wedding coordinator regarding the timeline on the wedding day. We gave Amy a lot of freedom to play what the band felt was appropriate and would keep our guests dancing. She did not disappoint! The dance floor was packed all evening and Yazz Jazz had such great energy. After the wedding many of our guests (and us) continued to say how fantastic the band was. If you want a wedding band that is professional, easy to work, plays awesome music, and keep your guests dancing, then pick Yazz Jazz. You will not be disappointed! read more

Yazz Jazz was a phenomenal vendor for our wedding! The big thing with weddings is obviously the planning, and with Yazz Jazz they were on top of it. The owner, Amy, was great to work with and we had a fun in-person meeting to go over the big day. Our DJ, Dale, was also great, and called us the week going into the wedding to confirm our requests. My then Fiance said "OMG I am so relieved and less stressed because he is going to take care of us." And boy did he! Numerous times throughout the night he was checking in and calming us down (LOL). The music lineup was composed and setup well, I have never danced so much in my life. Too much fun. The dancing was a highlight for many of our guests and it will be something I will remember forever :) No complaints whatsoever. The cost was competitive to other DJ services we looked into and it was worth every penny. We went with the DJ service, but they have a live band options as well. Contact Yazz Jazz, you won't regret it! read more

I met Amy of Yazz Jazz Entertainment in January of 2016 and instantly fell in love with her personality and professionalism. Planning my May 2017 wedding with Amy was one of the most joyous and honestly, the most pleasant parts of the whole thing. It was like planning a wedding with a best friend who had been through it before. She was there every step and misstep with patience and understanding. We met a few times to go over details and Amy was always at the ready with suggestions for bridal salons, makeup artists and more. I trusted Amy to select a DJ that would mesh well with our tastes and personalities, and she did NOT disappoint. JC was 5 stars and more. On the day of our wedding, I would have been lost without her. She even helped me pull off a surprise for my husband. If you're in need of affordable, top quality DJ services, Amy, JC, and Yazz Jazz Entertainment has you covered. I would give 10 stars if I could. read more

Yazz Jazz Entertainment made our wedding absolutely unforgettable. From the moment we met with Amy, we knew Yazz Jazz was going to be our wedding band. Amy was friendly, professional, accommodating, and energetic. Throughout the process, we met with Amy several times to make sure we were on the same page about the vibe we were going for at our reception. Amy invited us to her band showcase which was such a great experience. After attending the showcase, my husband and I could not wait for Yazz Jazz to play at our reception. Our dance floor was jam packed the entire night, and Yazz Jazz even let my brother and I grab the mics and rap for our guests. The entire band was energetic, entertaining, professional, and incredibly talented. Our guests are still talking about how fun our reception was and we owe it all to Amy and Yazz Jazz. We HIGHLY recommend Yazz Jazz and can't wait to work with them again in the near future! read more

My husband and I worked with Yazz Jazz's band The Experience (12 piece band), working directly with Amy leading up and to our wedding day in November 2022. Amy's fun and spunky personality made it an absolute pleasure working with her leading up to our big day. She responded quickly to emails/texts or any communications answering any and all of our questions to make sure we felt comfortable. We even had a slight snafu the day of our wedding regarding a vendor delivery on the size of our stage. Amy was flexible and made everything work perfectly, despite the sizing challenges with the stage. The music The Experience produced on our wedding was perfect for our vibe, getting people to dance and left guests saying that it was the most fun and memorable wedding they've attended! We are so happy we had the opportunity to work with Amy and The Experience, and highly recommend to any and all looking for a wedding band! read more

I cannot stress enough how amazing Yazz Jazz is! From the very beginning Amy was very communicative and accommodating; she came to meet us in person for initial discussions. They are incredibly flexible and will do everything they can to make your wedding an incredible and memorable occasion. They blew us away at the showcase and we knew we were in good hands. We also appreciated that Amy kept up with communication throughout the whole process and did her best to fit whatever songs and changes we wanted into the band's set. The night of the wedding, the band was incredible! We also had David DJ in between the band's sets and he was great. He even did our Wedding Party intros in the style of the Chicago Bulls introductions! The dance floor was packed all night and I had everyone coming up to me telling me they were the best wedding band they've ever seen. I would have to agree: Best. Wedding. Band. Ever! read more

We saw YazzJazz at a wedding a couple years ago and they were absolutely amazing. My (now) husband and I decided before we even got engaged that we were going to book them. Soon enough, we got engaged in February of 2017 and booked them right away. Amy was nothing short of amazing since then. She was easy to work with and helped provide us with so many different ideas on how to create the "stage" of the wedding. Our main goal was to have all of our guests on the dance floor...and to say the least, every single person was on the dance floor that night. Friends of mine who normally don't dance, were out there busting a move! Amy, Isaiah and the rest of the 7 piece band exceeded our expectations. Nothing beats having the 3 vocalist out on the dance floor with us and dancing the night away. My dream wedding was met and exceeded with the help of yazz jazz! I consider them life long friends! read more

Oh YAZZ JAZZ, You were ALL amazing!!!! We recently got married and booked Yazz Jazz for their Jazz Trio during cocktail hour and DJ Services during dinner and dancing. Let me tell you they exceeded our expectations. During cocktail hour the Trio played seamlessly to Amy's beautiful voice that orchestrated the whole hour. It was great! Everyone loved it!! And seriously JC (our DJ) was sooooo perfect! He made sure all the music we wanted was played and then some. He did a great job getting the crowd to the dance floor and he was very interactive the WHOLE night. It was magical. Thank you Yazz Jazz! Special shout out to Amy for making everything easier and seamless leading to our special day! JC, you are definitely an incredible DJ and we know who to go to for future events! Thank you all for your professionalism and ability to make an event FUN! With Love, Arturo and Jennifer Bueno read more

My husband and I are so happy we chose Yazz Jazz Entertainment for our wedding. Amy is a pleasure to work with. We planned our wedding while living out of state and not only did she Skype with us to answer our questions, she invited us out for breakfast when we were in town to meet us, ask us questions about what we want our wedding music to be like and to show us how the online planning form worked. The planning form itself was very well organized and without it, I'm sure we would have forgotten a lot of important music. DJ Dave S. who works with Amy was our DJ and did a phenomenal job! He flawlessly blended both American and Indian music for our fusion wedding, understood how to read the crowd, kept the dance floor busy the whole night and helped us with the flow of the reception tremendously. We highly recommend both Dave and Amy from Yazz Jazz for your event! read more

Amy and her team at Yazz Jazz were absolutely phenomenal to work with. Amy worked with us every step of the way to figure out what we wanted and come up with a plan to use both live music and a DJ for various parts of the wedding. Working with the same company for both options meant that everything was coordinated seamlessly the day of the wedding. Amy was so organized throughout the process, had a great online planning tool, and even made a trip to see us on her way from another wedding, so that we could meet in-person. We knew going into the weekend that we were in good hands. The music added so much to our day. The live music during our cocktail hour and dinner created the perfect ambiance, and the DJ had the dance floor packed the entire night. We couldn't have been happier with how flexible, helpful, and talented Amy and her team were! read more

The absolute best time ever! Yazz Jazz brought the party to our wedding day and made it even more special than we could've imagined! Their energy and musical talent was incredible, and the combo of DJ and Band meant there was never a break in the dancing. The song request/wedding schedule website was easy to use, customizable, and a huge help in planning out the night. Amy and DJ Dale were extremely helpful in the planning process and even a few last minute changes that saved the day! Thank you both (and the whole band!) so much for that one. My sister was able to join in singing on stage for a song and rock out with the amazing musicians, which was an awesome bonus and something really special for the whole family. We couldn't recommend Yazz Jazz enough, and wish we could dance the night away again with everyone!! Thank you guys so much! read more

I'm a professional musician in Chicago that has worked with plenty of wedding bands, and I can say without reservation that Amy's band is one of the best I've ever heard. Every song, every style - they nailed it. I wanted to hear Motown, my wife wanted to hear Backstreet Boys, and Amy's band delivered on those and everything in between. Her musicians also supplied the ceremony music, and did an outstanding job. Amy was also the friendliest and most accommodating bandleader; she took all of our requests and worked with our wedding venue to make set up and tear down completely worry-free for us. Our friends and family are still talking about how good the band was at our wedding, and the dance floor was packed the entire time. Any time a friend asks for a recommendation for a wedding band, the answer is easy: Amy Yasinger and Yazz Jazz. read more

We are beyond thrilled to have chosen Amy and Yazz Jazz for our wedding band. We received so many compliments from our guests that the band was amazing, and dancing was a highlight of the evening. She and another vocalist came onto the dance floor at one point and it was SO MUCH FUN. Amy and her group were great at reading the crowd and playing to the mood - this included playing a blend of songs we had suggested, avoiding songs we had requested not be played, and adding some of their own selections. One aspect of Yazz Jazz I really appreciated is they looked happy while playing and seemed to be having a good time! Amy was easy to contact throughout the planning process, and it was great to talk through our timeline/song choices before the event to make sure we were on the same page. We absolutely recommend Amy and Yazz Jazz! read more

I cannot recommend Yazz Jazz Music & Productions enough!! Our guests RAVED about the band, saying it was the best live music they have ever heard at a wedding. We couldn't agree more. The talent they have in this group is NEXT level and the energy they bring had everyone out of their seats dancing the entirety of the reception!! Their vocalists could S-A-N-G! My husband and I were married at a plant nursery in the suburbs which I know was not the easiest location to set up a large band! Yazz Jazz went on without a hitch and made us feel completely at ease about the whole process. We also had to postpone due to covid and they were extremely flexible and supportive. We are so glad we went with Yazz Jazz and couldn't imagine having our day be as special if they hadn't been a part of it. read more
