5/5 from 794 reviews
Photo of Jazz Bands Düsseldorf—Jazz Central Agency Jazz Bands Düsseldorf—Jazz Central Agency "Very satisfied The performance on Thursday was very enjoyable! Our guests thought so as well. In short, we are very satisfied, also with the booking process." Based in Düsseldorf, North Rhine-Westphalia (21 miles from Cologne) 3rd December 2025 Joyce Wagter, Verdonck, Klooster & Associates - Corporate event Photo of Vento do Sul/ Tribute to Chet Baker Vento do Sul/ Tribute to Chet Baker "They sound amazing. We enjoyed our time listening to their beautiful music. They played beautifull Bossa novas from Carlos Jobim." Based in Brussels, Brussels Capital, Belgium (114 miles from Cologne) Flora McRitchie - Private dinner Photo of Gradalicious Gradalicious "Very good, our guests are happy with the music and the performance. The atmosphere was very fantastic!" Based in Bussum, North Holland, Netherlands (120 miles from Cologne) Yuting Cheng - KTS International Exhibition Consulting UG Photo of Bijou Trio Bijou Trio "I was searching for a jazz band for a luxury event I planned in Amsterdam and came across Bijou Trio, what an incredible find! Out of all the entertainment companies I contacted, they were the first to respond (within hours!), and their pricing was by far the most competitive. When the event day came, they exceeded every expectation. Impeccably presented, charming, and professional, these 3 young men brought the atmosphere and true artistry to the event. Their performance was elegant, polished, and musically outstanding. I later found out they are formally trained musicians with a university background in music and it shows. Highly recommended for anyone looking for world-class jazz with genuine soul and sophistication." Based in Amsterdam, North Holland, Netherlands (133 miles from Cologne) Nadia Duran - Nadia Duran Events - Sydney Australia Photo of Sofia Michelle Sofia Michelle "There hasn’t been a lot of great song options for wedding music. It’s always either lacking or overused. Sofia put together such a great song list for us. We had a video prepared last minute and Sofia chooses the perfect songs to go with it. It was such a beautiful moment for us when they go live. We got so many compliments from guests." Based in Amsterdam, North Holland, Netherlands (133 miles from Cologne) Andrianna Pan - Wedding Dinner Photo of Black Thursdays Trio Black Thursdays Trio "Great performance! What a fantastic trio! And very nice men. Professional and flexible, highly recommended" Based in The Hague, South Holland, Netherlands (139 miles from Cologne) 20th March 2026 Raymond - Private Event
