Lauren S. Sent on 11/09/2023Blue Wave Band was AMAZING!
The band was excellent! They were so easy to communicate with. They played for the ceremony and the reception and I can't recommend them enough. They listened to our requests, they were very flexible with the weather, and they sounded amazing. We loved it! -

We had Blue Wave Band play at our wedding in September 2023 at the Fremont Foundry and they were ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!
We worked with RL on the planning side. He was extremely helpful and accomodating. We had so many specific song requests that were not on their normal list. They agreed to learn the songs and absolutely killed it! Our guests could not stop talking about how amazing they were. 100000% would recommend going with Blue Wave Band. -

Everything about the Blue Wave Band came off spectacularly at my Son’s wedding. It was exactly the live music experience that they hoped for to make the evening very special and memorable. There was nothing but high praise from all who attended, many who danced to the bitter end. The music was fantastic, with a stellar professional line-up. And the booking and planning stages went so incredibly smoothly, what a bonus!! I would defiantly book them again, and highly recommend the Blue Wave Band for your event. -

The Blue Wave Band played at our wedding as both a jazz combo and a six piece band, and they knocked it out of the park. They are extremely talented and creative musicians that know how to start a party and keep the party going. Everyone got up to dance and sing together to crowd favorites, and many guests remarked on how uncanny the band’s cover renditions were of the originals – they put a lot of attention to detail.
Our point-person, RL, was very communicative and helpful throughout the planning process, and he was fantastic on guitar. The band was also super receptive to our music likes, dislikes, and special requests. I’m a musician myself, and asked the band if it would be possible to learn a song of mine to play together on stage, and they were happy to accommodate! I was blown away – we’d never played before at all, and I’d only sent along some sheet music and a reference recording, but they played it flawlessly.
Long story short, booking BWB is absolutely the right call. But if you want to hear them for yourself, definitely go to one of their showcase performances! That’s where we first saw Paige (an awesome vocalist and frontwoman) and Cliff (an unstoppable sax player) and specifically requested them for the wedding. We really could not be happier with the band’s professionalism and performance, and can’t recommend them enough. -

The Blue Wave Band just played at my daughter's wedding in Sunriver, OR. They exceeded my expectations in every way. Marc is very organized and detailed. He works with you ahead of time to get everything nailed down. They did the PA system for the outside ceremony and then used our playlist for the cocktail hour. Sarah MC'd the reception and was flawless. By the time the reception started, I know there planning was great but once they started playing, their musicianship blew us all away. They can play just about anything and play it well. I lost count of how many people told me they were "the best wedding band I've ever heard." If I had another wedding to plan I would not hesitate to book them - in fact I'd go as far as to check with them to make sure they are available before picking a date. -

Jo Thompson Sent on 08/07/2023Versatile and talented group!
We opted for a 4-piece instrumental jazz band (guitar, keys, bass, and sax) for our reception and they were perfect! We wanted just acoustic guitar for the ceremony, which was seamless with the program, and the reception band was just what we hoped - great for dancing or mingling and a good fit for our backyard garden party vibe. The neighbors later said they came out to their deck to listen because the music was so good! When my husband and I showed up last at the reception, the band surprised us with "Isn't She Lovely", and really made our entrance. Dante was wonderful to work with in the planning stage, and they are very thorough. We loved having Blue Wave Band as part of our event! -

Rice M. Sent on 07/30/2023This band MADE our reception
We almost didn't reach out to Blue Wave because after I heard their demos I assumed they would be out of our price range. I'm SO glad we did reach out, because what Blue Wave delivered was nothing short of amazing. I had multiple unsolicited questions from our guests asking how we had found such an amazing band for our wedding. The band was also very sensitive to the vibe of our wedding and leaned in to what we wanted without our even knowing what to ask for. I would recommend Blue Wave to anyone! -

The Blue Wave Band played at my wedding and provided an incredible experience from start to finish. If you have the opportunity to book them, jump at the chance. -

Jaylee Y. Sent on 10/30/2022So impressively good!
The Blue Wave Band shaped the second half of our wedding celebration, and made it an absolute party. We had such a blast dancing and singing on the dance floor along to all of our favorite songs. The band is so much more than your typical wedding band. Both the instrumentalists (especially the saxophonist) and the vocalists absolutely crushed it. I would hire the band again in an instant! -

Wedding Day: Blue Wave Band 10/10!
Marc and the Blue Wave Band were AMAZING! From the initial outreach all the way to the final song of the night, it was an incredible experience and they truly made our wedding day the best day ever. So easy to coordinate with and get on the same page for how we envisioned the event going... which for us was incredibly helpful because these guys are pros and know how to get the group dancing and grooving. The MC service was seamless, the music was awesome, and they played a wide array of hits from oldies to popular crowd-pleasers. Couldn't recommend enough to make sure you have the best wedding day possible! 10/10. -

Exceptional
Best decision we made for the whole day, and it was a magical day! This team was communicative and easy to work with from day one. The reason we decided on a band was to create an atmosphere for all of the generations attending, and I am not exaggerating when I say that the dance floor was PACKED from start to finish! They did an amazing job engaging our guests, not one song had people wandering. We smiled ear to ear and danced our faces off! Thank you BW Band for playing out in the random woods and contributing to such a magical fairyland day for us all! -

Jenny G. Sent on 09/06/2022Blue Wave Band is amazing!
Blue Wave Band is the best! The planning process went smoothly with our producer/coordinator Marc. He was quick with responding to emails and was able to answer all of our questions. Our guests and us absolutely adored the band. They did such a great job with all sorts of genres (funk, slow songs, jazz, pop music). Our guests were up dancing for most of the night and raved about the band to the bride and groom. We definitely recommend Blue Wave Band for anyone's wedding that wants a strong music group! -

Alexander C. Sent on 01/25/2023Incredible performers and lovely to work with!
Blue Wave Band was absolutely incredible at our wedding! They brought a very talented troupe to perform, and were great value for the wonderful performances they put on. We hired Blue Wave for the ceremony music, cocktail hour, and the reception - they executed flawlessly and so many of our guests shared how great they were.
During the reception, they kept the crowd energized and many of us danced until we had to leave, and we could tell they were having a great time performing for all of us too. We requested a few specific songs for our processional and recessional, and for our first dance - we really appreciated them being so flexible to our (somewhat obscure) song requests, and they did an amazing job for all of them.
During planning, they were very communicative and wonderful to work with - they were always quick to respond to the many questions we had, and were willing to discuss and provide feedback when we weren't certain on some of our details. We'd love to work with them again and recommend them for anyone planning a party in the Pacific Northwest! -

Randi W. Sent on 07/30/2022So glad we hired Blue Wave!
The Blue Wave Band was exactly what we were hoping for when we booked live music for our outdoor wedding at Skamania Lodge. We were looking for a live jazzy/bluesy feel for the night, and they hit it out of the park, with drums, sax, bass, and keyboard. They allowed us to swap in additional instrumentation as we got closer to the wedding, and offered MC service + mics for the ceremony itself. We had 2 calls with them beforehand, and were also able to provide custom ceremony entrance and exit music. They were a blast during the reception, and everyone was talking about how great the music was throughout (and well after) the event. It was worth the splurge to have Blue Wave Band join us, and honestly, it wasn't even as costly as I thought live music might be. If you're looking for live music, I highly recommend their group.Blue Wave Band's reply:
Hi Randi! We LOVE to hear it. We had an incredible time working with and performing for you! Wishing you a lifetime of happiness! -

Pacifica H. Sent on 01/24/2022Highlight of the Evening!
Let’s just say Blue Wave had everyone on the dance floor! So many of my guests approached me about how impressed they were with the band, one of the waitstaff even said she wants them for her upcoming wedding after hearing them play. Working with David and the band was professional, streamlined and fun. They had plenty recommendations and accommodated my special requests such as including a saxophone player in the 4-piece and incorporating Latin songs into the setlist. You can really tell they enjoy what they do and are extremely talented musicians and entertainers. You will not be disappointed!
