Planning a destination wedding? We travel around the world.
There’s no better feeling than seeing the look of love when a couple's friends and family join them on the dance floor. That feeling is why we love what we do.
Ceremony
Whether you prefer traditional music, classical songs, or modern tunes, we can work with you to set the perfect tone for your day. Ask us for a Free Demo Pack to hear for yourself.
Cocktails
Start the party off right with a jazz quartet or acoustic trio to accompany your cocktail hour.
Reception
This is where we really shine - amazing dance parties are how the Blue Waves have earned their fantastic reputation! We pride ourselves on our high energy, flawless performance–it’s all about great preparation and a genuine love for what we do to ensure you have the best night of your life.
We pride ourselves on knowing just what to play and when to play it. It isn't enough just to fill your dance floor - we want you to love the music! We'll create a set list based on your musical preferences to ensure that every song from the start of the day until you drive away together as a married couple is tailored especially for you. Or, if you prefer, just leave it all up to us.
We offer a unique online planning system which allows you to customize your day-of schedule and playlist–and update it as many times as you like leading up to the wedding. This means more control and less stress.

The highlight of our day!
This band was the highlight of our day! David was great to work with throughout the planning process; always responded promptly, kindly & was very helpful! We had an acoustic guitarist play for our ceremony which was magical! The reception was a BLAST thanks to the band- they can play anything and do it well! We highly recommend Blue Wave!!
Everyone had so much fun dancing
Blue Wave Band was fantastic! We were able to watch one of their showcases and decided to book them after seeing how talented the musicians were. At the reception they blew everyone away, and we received so many compliments on the band. We opted to include a horn section for our big day and were so happy we did! They sounded amazing and everyone had so much fun dancing. Blue Wave Band also served as MC for the event and did a great job there too.
Everything we could have asked for and more!
Blue Wave was everything we could have asked for and more! From easy communication, special attention to details and our specific needs, spending time on the phone going over the wedding day schedule and questions to the actual wedding day music - Blue Wave was phenomenal. The live music was one of the highlights of our wedding day. We had a truly epic dance party that we wished could have lasted all night. The energy of the band members was contagious. Every single song they played was spot on to our requests and overall music preferences. We can't thank them enough for being such a huge part of our wedding.
They brought the house down
The Blue Wave Band was truly one of the highlights of our wedding. We were so impressed at their showcase session that we decided to hire a 7 piece band, complete with trombone and saxophone. They brought the house down. The dance floor was packed the entire night and everyone had a great time. We also used the guitarist and female vocalist for the ceremony. The website they set up for our event was a very helpful thing to have. I would not hesitate to hire them again. Lots of fun, very talented, professional and affordable.
Such great memories
Blue Wave totally made the reception: the song choices were excellent, the musicians superb and, to top it off, the band members were so so nice! Everyone was on the dance floor all evening, from the 3-year-old ringbearer to the 80+ year old grandma. We sang and sweated and had the best time. I'm glad my husband insisted on live music. Thank you Blue Wave: you were the best investment and made such great memories for us!!
Highly recommend
I am a wedding planner and have worked with Blue Wave a number of times now! They make the process so easy--they are professional, responsive and reliable! They are super talented and such a blast! Always on my recommendations list when the couple is looking for a live band! Highly recommend!
Blue Wave totally rocks!
We couldn't recommend Blue Wave more highly - they made our wedding reception a total dancefest. They absolutely blew us away the day-of. Huge range of songs and they kept people going all night. Thanks so much!
Our guests have been raving
We had an AMAZING experience with Blue Wave Band. We came across them and based on the reviews...we booked them immediately! Boy are we glad that we did. Our guests have been raving about them for weeks now! The musicians and vocalists are SO talented. They kept everyone on the dance floor all night. David was wonderful to work with. I would highly recommend this band for any wedding.
A top-notch experience
From the moment I sent an inquiry, to the moment the band loaded out, it was a top-notch experience. I appreciated how organized and communicative the band was in the months leading up to our conference party. The songs they played were high energy and perfectly executed. They kept us all dancing for the entire party and they sounded fabulous! I wish I could package them up and take them to every conference! As a professional musician myself, my standards are high. The Blue Wave Band exceeded my expectations for excellence in every way.
Phenomenal
We hired the Blue Wave Band for a non-profit fundraising event and they were phenomenal. The pre-communication and the band itself was terrific. We went with a 4-piece band and couldn't have asked for a better experience. Their energy is amazing! We booked them that night for next year!
So many people on the dance floor
These guys were awesome. I'm so glad we decided to go with them. They set-up some audio equipment in the garden so that we had music for our guests before the wedding and when my wife walked down the aisle. Then they moved into the castle and did their performance. Wow, you would not believe the range that these guys had. You name it, they played it. And it sounded amazing. The wedding venue later told us they'd never seen so many people on the dance floor dancing at the wedding. They rocked it while everyone on the dance floor danced and sang along. We really wanted everyone to have a great time at our wedding, and having Blue Wave Band there jamming was a key element to getting everyone out on the dance floor rocking out. If you are considering music options for your wedding, definitely consult with Blue Wave Band. They were the X factor at our wedding.
