Jazz Bands for Hire in Iowa City

"Wow! I don’t even know where to start, our cocktail hour was brought to life when Miguel started playing. It was absolutely perfect and we haven’t stopped talking about it since! If you’re considering a saxophonist for your wedding or any event then Miguel needs to be your guy. He played all the best songs & paired with our DJ perfectly. 10 out of 10!!!"

"Michael and The Graduates Jazz Band were absolutely exceptional at our wedding. Their beautiful music elevated the entire experience and created the most incredible atmosphere. Our guests could not stop talking about how much they loved them! We are so grateful to Michael and the band for making our day feel even more special, elegant and unforgettable. Highly recommend!"

"I've seen them perform twice and they put on a great show! They have not disappointed. The lead singer, Marcella, is a lot of fun."

"NoNi Trio gave a wonderful, graceful, and elegant performance at our wedding. Their music created exactly the warm, sophisticated atmosphere we had hoped for, and their set was one of the most memorable parts of our celebration. They were exceptionally professional, friendly, kind, and accommodating throughout the planning process. In advance of the wedding, they coordinated directly with our DJ and sound engineer to ensure that all sound-equipment requirements were sorted smoothly. They also discussed the setlist with us clearly and thoughtfully, including many of our favourite classics by Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, Nat King Cole, Sarah Vaughan, Peggy Lee, Louis Armstrong, and more. They went above and beyond by working with a friend of ours—a backing vocalist and songwriter—who had composed a song especially for us. NoNi Trio helped incorporate her performance into their set, making the moment feel especially personal and meaningful. It was an absolute pleasure working with NoNi Trio from start to finish. We would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for beautiful, high-quality live jazz for a wedding or special event. +++++ NoNi Trio a offert une prestation merveilleuse, gracieuse et élégante lors de notre mariage. Leur musique a créé exactement l’atmosphère chaleureuse et raffinée que nous espérions, et leur concert a été l’un des moments les plus mémorables de notre célébration. Ils ont fait preuve d’un grand professionnalisme, tout en étant très sympathiques, attentionnés et disponibles tout au long de la préparation. Avant le mariage, ils ont coordonné directement avec notre DJ et notre ingénieur du son afin que tous les besoins techniques et de sonorisation soient parfaitement organisés. Ils ont également échangé avec nous de manière très claire et attentive au sujet de la playlist, en intégrant de nombreux classiques que nous aimons, notamment de Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, Nat King Cole, Sarah Vaughan, Peggy Lee, Louis Armstrong, et bien d’autres. Ils sont même allés au-delà de nos attentes en travaillant avec une amie à nous, chanteuse de chœurs et auteure-compositrice, qui avait écrit une chanson spécialement pour nous. NoNi Trio l’a aidée à intégrer sa prestation à leur set, rendant ce moment particulièrement personnel et émouvant. Ce fut un véritable plaisir de travailler avec NoNi Trio du début à la fin. Nous les recommandons sans hésiter à toute personne à la recherche d’un jazz live magnifique et de grande qualité pour un mariage ou tout autre événement spécial."

"Pausa Caffè were a wonderful addition to our event. Their music was elegant, refined and perfectly suited to the atmosphere of Parole in Sila. The combination of beautiful vocals and piano created a warm and engaging atmosphere without ever overpowering the event. They were professional, well organised and a pleasure to work with. We would definitely recommend them for cultural events and special occasions."

"Fae & Sebastian H. - Per Dagmar & Jacopo - Jazz & Swing Duo 27/08/2026, Wedding Dagmar and Jacopo were truly the voice and soul of our wedding. We booked the duo to accompany the most special moments of our ceremony and aperitivo, and they made both absolutely unforgettable. Dagmar (fluent in so many languages, including the ones that were most important to us: German, English, Italian, and Spanish) enchanted everyone with her beautiful voice while also excelling in her role as our MC. From beginning to end, the collaboration felt warm, personal, and completely on equal footing, while always remaining highly professional. Their beautiful interpretations of songs that hold a very special place in our hearts made some of the most meaningful moments of our wedding even more memorable. And one moment we will definitely never forget: during our ceremony, one of the rings went missing. While everyone embarked on a scavenger hunt across the 2ha garden of the villa, Dagmar and Jacopo reacted quickly & kept playing.. providing the perfect soundtrack and turning this moment into one of the funniest and coolest experiences of the entire day. (Yes, we eventually found the ring! 😊) Thank you, Dagmar and Jacopo, for bringing so much heart, joy, and beautiful music to our wedding. We couldn’t have imagined it without you."
