Amazing band

I was a fan of this band before I had my wedding. I liked their music videos on YouTube. I was thrilled and surprised to see them here for hire for this special occasion. If you like vintage jazz, you'll love them and all of your guests will be impressed by how great they are. I love that the singer can sing in other languages and there's an accordionist. Their music is great!

Perfection

We knew we wanted something really special for our wedding music as my husband and I are both musicians ourselves. We were so thrilled to discover Carte Blanche at one of their shows in Brooklyn and knew we had to have them after seeing them live. They performed at our wedding last weekend and blew everyone away. We opted for the full 6 piece group and they played for our ceremony, cocktail hour and reception. Their music was so beautiful and impressive- our guests were from many different parts of the world and couldn't get over their versatility of languages and styles. Kate is the band leader and the accordionist and she was a huge help in guiding us through our planning process- excellent communication and worked with our planner and our venue to make everything smooth. They arranged several songs for our ceremony and reception and the rest of the evening they matched the vibe of the party perfectly. I can't recommend them highly enough!!

Best wedding band ever!

For our wedding we were looking for an amazing and unique band and we were so happy to find Carte Blanche! We were bringing together people from all over the world, and we were lucky to find such an incredibly cosmopolitan band. During the planning stage they were warm, friendly, detailed, and super thorough. The day of our wedding everything went off without a hitch, we had an outdoor ceremony and having a violin and an accordion for our ceremony and our cocktail hour was super special. They performed beautifully for our parent dances, and having a live band for the Hora made it super fun and memorable. We requested a special jazz cover of a velvet underground song for our first dance which they put together phenomenally. Guests asked throughout the night if we could share their contact because they already wanted to hire them for events, and we will happily recommend Carte Blanche Jazz Band to anyone!
