Music That Carries Your Whole Day
Your wedding deserves more than a playlist. A live vintage jazz band gives every chapter of the day its own atmosphere — intimate and romantic for the ceremony, warm and effervescent for cocktails, elegant through dinner, and joyfully danceable once the floor opens.
We've performed at historic ballrooms, Art Deco landmarks, luxury hotels, country clubs, and private estates across Southern California, and we shape each set list to your venue, your timeline, and the two of you.
Ceremony & Cocktail Hour
Elegant, conversation-friendly arrangements — bossa nova, French café, and Old Hollywood standards — that make the room glow without ever overpowering it.
Dinner & Reception
A curated event flow that builds naturally from background elegance to a lively dance set, with the band reading the room at every turn.
Your First Dance
Have a song that matters? Tell us about it in your inquiry — we're happy to discuss special arrangements for your date.
Vintage Wardrobe & Styling
Period-true gowns and black tie that photograph beautifully and fit any era theme, from Gatsby to 1950s romance.
Planner-Friendly Coordination
Clear timelines, prompt communication, professional PA and mics, tidy setup, and curated break music — everything your planner hopes a band will be.
Any Venue, Indoors or Out
Historic venues, hotel ballrooms, garden estates, and coastal terraces — we scale the ensemble and sound to your space.
Past venue credits include Disney's Club 33, The Hollywood Roosevelt, Vibrato Grill Jazz, The Cicada Club, Spago Beverly Hills, Disneyland, and Carnegie Hall — with regular appearances aboard The Queen Mary in Long Beach.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you provide different ensemble sizes?
Yes. From an intimate trio for cocktail hours and dinners to the full Carnations ensemble with horns for a featured performance, we'll recommend the configuration that suits your space, guest count, and atmosphere.
Do you bring your own sound equipment?
Yes — we bring a professional PA and microphones scaled to your venue, and we keep volume guest-friendly so conversation is always comfortable. If your venue has house sound, we're happy to coordinate with their team.
Can you play during cocktail hour or dinner?
That's one of the things we do best. Elegant background sets — think bossa nova, French café, and Old Hollywood standards — keep the room warm and conversational, then we can raise the energy when it's time to dance.
Can you coordinate with our planner or venue?
Always. We're planner-friendly by design: clear timelines, prompt communication, tidy setup, and a curated event flow that fits your run of show. Introduce us to your planner or venue contact and we'll take it from there.
Do you provide music during band breaks?
Yes — we provide curated break music through our PA so the atmosphere never drops, and we can work from your playlist if you have one.
Can you learn a special song for our event?
We're happy to discuss special requests — a first dance, a favorite standard, a song that matters to your family or company. Share it in your inquiry and we'll let you know what's possible for your date.
