Reviews of 1940s Era Musicians & Bands available in Whistler

5/5 from 596 reviews
Photo of Beauty Shop Dolls Beauty Shop Dolls "Thank you Beauty Shop Dolls for making our Christmas party magical. We had a blast! We loved everything about your show, it was classy and perfectly planned on theme. The dress changes were a beautiful touch, to an already fabulous performance (I especially loved the blue feathers 😊). Everyone in the office is still buzzing from the dance class too. Highly, highly recommended!" Based in Vancouver, British Columbia (60 miles from Whistler) T Dic - Company 1920s Christmas Party Photo of Good Co Good Co "We hired Good Co for our 1920's themed holiday party. They were extremely flexible and accommodating, especially when we asked if they would follow our leadership around the office as they gathered people for the party. Awesome talent, great at judging sound vs space. Our office is pretty echo-y and loud, but they found the right balance immediately. Definitely keeping on the books for next time!" Based in Seattle, Washington, United States (176 miles from Whistler) Ashley V - Corporate Party Photo of Jazz Hutch & Friends Jazz Hutch & Friends "A nice voice and a very understated and carefree delivery. Not enough cats can just Fred Astaire their way through a song."

Based in Denver, Colorado, United States (1,130 miles from Whistler) Emily D. - Nursing Home Photo of Ken Weiner | Jazz 🎷 Ken Weiner | Jazz 🎷 "Ken and his trio were excellent. Their playing really helped make the night. Highly recommended!" Based in Los Angeles, California, United States (1,135 miles from Whistler) 21st September 2026 Bryan - Birthday party Photo of Elite Jazz Band Elite Jazz Band "I had an incredible experience! I had the opportunity to have Igor and Sergei play the double bass and piano for my proposal, and it couldn’t have been more beautiful. We spoke over Zoom and on the phone to go over the details, and they truly understood my vision. They even checked out some of the songs I wanted to include. They arrived on time and delivered an unforgettable performance. I will definitely hire them again for future events and highly recommend them" Based in Los Angeles, California, United States (1,135 miles from Whistler) Hector
