Yazz Jazz Entertainment

From the moment I spoke with Amy I knew that Yazz Jazz was our band!! She was super professional and addressed all of our needs and concerns! We customized our music with the first half as Jazz and the second half more acoustic with vocals and it was FABULOUS!!! Very different from your traditional wedding music. We dreamed of live music and this far exceeded our expectations!!! More...

Amy and her team at Yazz Jazz were absolutely phenomenal to work with. Amy worked with us every step of the way to figure out what we wanted and come up with a plan to use both live music and a DJ for various parts of the wedding. Working with the same company for both options meant that everything was coordinated seamlessly the day of the wedding.Amy was so organized throughout the process, had a great online planning tool, and even made a trip to see us on her way from another wedding, so that we could meet in-person. We knew going into the weekend that we were in good hands. The music added so much to our day. The live music during our cocktail hour and dinner created the perfect ambiance, and the DJ had the dance floor packed the entire night. We couldn't have been happier with how flexible, helpful, and talented Amy and her team were! More...

If you are looking to have a great time- Yazz Jazz is where it’s at!! Music is a huge part of my life and my families life. When my mom and I went to see them play at a local showcase, we barely sat down because we kept dancing. After our initial meeting with Amy, it was pretty clear that Yazz Jazz was the way to go. Amy’s organized and down to earth personality- not to mention her killer vocals... we were sold. I told my fiancé that we had booked a band for the wedding and he seemed excited but he had yet to see them so his excitement did not match mine. When we were lucky enough to see them again at another showcase, Brian was floored at the talent, as well as their ability to get people on the dance floor. Amy stayed in contact with us touching base regarding schedule and song choices. I always felt like I knew what was going on. Her main goal was to make sure the night was what we wanted.. and boy was it. Yazz Jazz helped us throughout the ceremony, cocktail hour and to keep the reception flowing. My favorite part of my wedding day was being surrounded by my friends and family with my new husband on the dance floor. I couldn’t have asked for a better group of musicians to help us celebrate the big day. If you are lucky enough to book Yazz Jazz for the big day, you will not be disappointed. More...

Yazz Jazz was amazing for our wedding; we couldn’t have asked for anything better! The dance floor was full all night long and everyone kept telling us how great the band was. Amy was super helpful in helping us organize our songs and was also a great emcee for the day. She also helped arrange our first dance song since we made a few changes and it was so perfect! I would definitely recommend using Yazz Jazz for your wedding or any important event! More...

Amy and the crew were an ABSOLUTE blast! My family is not about dancing but all of us can surely talk your head off! That being said I knew we needed something incredible to get my family on the dance floor instead of standing around talking all night!

We met Amy at a wedding expo and right away I knew she was our answer!

From the start it was all about Us and our wedding. She wanted to get to know our personalities and Our music tastes! When we were left unsure she can rattle off suggestions instantly and suggest what she has seen to draw in the crowd!

Yazz Jazz knows what they are doing from start to finish. Our dance floor wasn't empty at all for the whole night! I'm 100% positive Yazz Jazz grew a fan club just within one night alone!

My guests "Fan girled" over them the whole next day and every day since! More...

I cannot stress enough how amazing Yazz Jazz is! From the very beginning Amy was very communicative and accommodating; she came to meet us in person for initial discussions. They are incredibly flexible and will do everything they can to make your wedding an incredible and memorable occasion. They blew us away at the showcase and we knew we were in good hands. We also appreciated that Amy kept up with communication throughout the whole process and did her best to fit whatever songs and changes we wanted into the band's set. The night of the wedding, the band was incredible! We also had David DJ in between the band's sets and he was great. He even did our Wedding Party intros in the style of the Chicago Bulls introductions! The dance floor was packed all night and I had everyone coming up to me telling me they were the best wedding band they've ever seen. I would have to agree: Best. Wedding. Band. Ever! More...

In planning my daughter’s wedding, I approached Yazz Jazz Music and Production to provide musical entertainment. It was the best decision I could have made! The DJ (Dale - an extreme professional at his craft) not only provided musical contributions, but also served as the evening’s MC who kept the whole evening right on schedule! Everyone was too busy dancing and having fun to worry about when it was time to cut the cake, when it was time for the first dances, when it was time to do this or that – but Dale kept things moving! MEANWHILE, never once was the dance floor empty because of Dale’s excellent song selections!

Additionally, Amy Yassinger was in constant contact with us from the beginning planning stages right up to the service and reception. She was available to us throughout the entire process as well as the day of the wedding.

I couldn’t be more grateful and appreciative of Amy Yassinger and the services provided by Yazz Jazz Music and Productions! 5 STARS! More...

1000/10 all across the board for Yazz Jazz Entertainment. We first met Amy at the Stan Mansion open house. We got the pamphlet, scheduled a date to meet and from that point moving forward, we knew we were going with Yazz Jazz. We met with Amy pretty early in the process and told her the vision for our Tim Burton wedding and the group delivered beyond our expectations. My husband's only rule was "we can't hire the DJ unless he knows who Bassnectar is." She facetimed JC during our meeting and it was final - bride wanted band .. groom wanted DJ .. and everything fell perfectly into place. If you're on the fence because of money, please allocate the appropriate amount of your budget to hire Yazz Jazz because it will be worth every.single.penny.

Wedding month - She drove all the way to Logan Square to attend the walkthrough for the venue... in Chicago rush hour... Instant nomination for sainthood. She met with us the following week to finalize songs, special dances and requests, and the timeline of the day. Short notice we realized the timeline was bumped up a 1/2 hour and no problem, they still delivered and extended the set.

Wedding day - The DJ nailed everyone's name, even the hard-to-pronounce Polish maid of honor, and the entire ballroom was on their feet for our entrance. JC read the room and ensured people we're having a great time. During our dinner, he played Danny Elfman music from Burton movies. He helped execute our theme to the t. Short notice, my dad and I cancelled our dance and no one would have noticed because the transition was so seamless. The opening song, Let's Get It Started, packed the dance floor and it continued to stay packed the entire night. Everyone loved Yazz Jazz and we've heard multiple couples already mention they want them for their wedding. All of the vocalists were engaged with the audience. Originally, since I am Team NSYNC, I nixed the backstreet boys medley. Amy triple checked with me that it was okay to play and out of the respect of my bridesmaid (who breathes BSB) I agreed. They killed the BSB medley and let the bridesmaid sing a line. It was perfect (and later balanced out by NSYNC songs). The band was dancing and on the floor with us the entire night. The performance was incredible.

Amy was so helpful throughout the planning process. She recommended multiple vendors, met with us multiple times, responded to every single text, email, and phone call. Her work ethic is astounding. At one point she was even helping rip open glow stick packaging for our exit. If Amy wasn't there, our day would have felt incomplete.

The amount of effort that Yazz Jazz puts into making your big day perfect is priceless. We cannot thank them enough. More...

We were lucky enough to book Yazz Jazz for our August 2018 wedding in Chicago. We got married at the University Club and had a very formal wedding, and having a huge band really capped off the evening perfectly. They had the dance floor packed from the first song til the last, and our guests even begged for an encore (which they happily played!) They were nothing but professional through the whole planning process. Their online tool to help plan music was so helpful and easy to use. We were able to have input in the songs we did want to hear and the songs we didn’t want played. They crafted an amazing set list and let us hand pick the songs the DJ played during their breaks. People could not stop raving about how great the band was. Brooke is simply incredible, it has been three months and people are still talking about how amazing her voice was. You would be making a mistake to not book Yazz Jazz for your wedding or event, the dance floor was packed the entire evening. If you want a non-stop party book this band! More...

We saw YazzJazz at a wedding a couple years ago and they were absolutely amazing. My (now) husband and I decided before we even got engaged that we were going to book them. Soon enough, we got engaged in February of 2017 and booked them right away. Amy was nothing short of amazing since then. She was easy to work with and helped provide us with so many different ideas on how to create the "stage" of the wedding. Our main goal was to have all of our guests on the dance floor...and to say the least, every single person was on the dance floor that night. Friends of mine who normally don't dance, were out there busting a move! Amy, Isaiah and the rest of the 7 piece band exceeded our expectations. Nothing beats having the 3 vocalist out on the dance floor with us and dancing the night away. My dream wedding was met and exceeded with the help of yazz jazz! I consider them life long friends!

My husband and I are so happy we chose Yazz Jazz Entertainment for our wedding. Amy is a pleasure to work with. We planned our wedding while living out of state and not only did she Skype with us to answer our questions, she invited us out for breakfast when we were in town to meet us, ask us questions about what we want our wedding music to be like and to show us how the online planning form worked. The planning form itself was very well organized and without it, I'm sure we would have forgotten a lot of important music. DJ Dave S. who works with Amy was our DJ and did a phenomenal job! He flawlessly blended both American and Indian music for our fusion wedding, understood how to read the crowd, kept the dance floor busy the whole night and helped us with the flow of the reception tremendously. We highly recommend both Dave and Amy from Yazz Jazz for your event! More...

We were so pleased we chose Amy and her band, Yazz Jazz! We hired Amy a year before our wedding. From the beginning she was professional, reliable, and easy to work with. We had a couple of in-person meetings and phone calls to go over all the details. Also, in the months leading up to the wedding, Amy was very responsive to any questions/concerns we had. Amy came to our walk-through a month before the big day to ensure she all the details covered for wedding day. She also worked closely with our wedding coordinator regarding the timeline on the wedding day.We gave Amy a lot of freedom to play what the band felt was appropriate and would keep our guests dancing. She did not disappoint! The dance floor was packed all evening and Yazz Jazz had such great energy. After the wedding many of our guests (and us) continued to say how fantastic the band was.

Thank you Yazz Jazz Entertainment for everything you've done! This company is so easygoing. A week before our wedding we talked with our DJ, David, and went over the final details. On my wedding day, I was on the dance floor all night, even when we had our midnight snack, pizza! David played all kind of music. We had oldies, Polish, hispanic, modern, and so much more.
We also had a harpist, Laura, during cocktail hour. Unfortunately I wasn't there for long to hear her play. I did hear a few songs and many guests said she did a lovely job!
Lastly, Amy, the owner, was amazing. Right from the start she understood what we wanted and didn't want to hear. Very reasonable! When it was time for payments you can do it through Venmo, send it through mail, or meet in person. If you do meet in person, she will go out of her way to meet you somewhere that's convenient for you. The last time we met with her in between her work, which is so nice, and our home.
Overall, a friendly, understanding, and reasonable staff. Thank you for everything! More...

She and another vocalist came onto the dance floor at one point and it was SO MUCH FUN. Amy and her group were great at reading the crowd and playing to the mood – this included playing a blend of songs we had suggested, avoiding songs we had requested not be played, and adding some of their own selections. One aspect of Yazz Jazz I really appreciated is they looked happy while playing and seemed to be having a good time!
