    Nick was excellent!

    We hired Nick from the Toronto Jazz Collective to perform solo jazz piano music at our wedding reception and he was fantastic. His performances really elevated our experience at the restaurant and he was also very friendly when we chatted with him during his breaks. As a fellow musician, I felt his sense of syncopation kept the room floating on a cloud. Thanks again!!

    Toronto Jazz Collective's reply:

    Thanks for the review Gavyn! We're so glad to hear you enjoyed Nick's performances at your wedding. You guys were such a pleasure to work with and treated us with the utmost respect. We really appreciate that. We also loved when your friend got on the piano and played duo with Nick! Wishing you two newly weds all the best. Keep in touch!

    Really classed up the wedding!

    The TJC were epic! Josh was extremely easy to communicate with, both by email and phone. He was very responsive, and was willing to be flexible for the timings of the sets, which was tricky given how much we wanted to jam pack into our day - which included a number of planned interruptions (e.g. speeches, first dance, etc). We booked the string quartet for our ceremony and the jazz quartet (piano, drums, cello and saxophone) for the cocktail hour and reception. Most of the songs were decided beforehand - We were provided with a general list of songs to choose from but had the option to get the bands to learn extra songs (which we didn't end up using, since they knew all the songs we wanted, even those not already on their list) The string quartet played hauntingly beautiful music during our ceremony. The Jazz quartet really classed up the ambiance of our cocktail hour and reception. It made a huge difference to our guests! It rained during our wedding, which really affected our plans, but the TJC was able to easily adapt with little to no input from us, and that was key during the stressful time. I'm no professional musician, but I have played classical and pop piano for half my life and I appreciate that all the musicians that played at our wedding were extremely good. Strongly recommend the TJC!

    Thank you so much Paraish for your lovely review! It was our absolute pleasure to provide the music entertainment for your entire wedding! It was such a beautiful event that we will never forget! Wishing you two all the best from the whole TJC Team.

    Amazing Experience!

    Josh was amazing to work with. He was so accommodating and professional! The band was very talented. Having the live jazz trio made our day extra special!

    Amazing - Our ceremony wouldn't have been the same without TJC

    My wife and I weren't sure if we needed to hire live music, but are so glad we did, and even more glad we decided to book with Toronto Jazz Collective! It was incredibly easy to talk through different pricing options to ensure we got what we wanted for our wedding. They also agreed to add a couple of songs to their repertoire for the ceremony at our request. Most importantly, everything they played sounded incredible. They were even flexible enough to move their setup inside during a brief rain storm, keeping everyone entertained while they stayed dry. Our guests couldn't stop commenting on what a nice touch they added to the ceremony. Thank you TJC!

    Toronto Jazz Collective's reply:

    Thanks so much for your kind words Andrew! Your wedding was a blast and we were so happy to be a part of it! Congratulations!!!

    Wishing you and Sasha all the best! Keep in touch!

    Kindest Regards,
    -Josh and the TJC Team

    One of the highlights of our evening!

    My husband only had a few requests for our wedding, one of which was to have a live jazz band! The Toronto Jazz collective exceeded our expectations and provided such a wonderful ambiance for our guests during dinner. They were amazing and we would definitely recommend them!

    Toronto Jazz Collective's reply:

    Thank you so much Jenny! Congratulations to you and Brandon! Your wedding was so much fun! Wishing you two all the best!

    Outstanding!!

    Josh and his crew were fantastic at our wedding. We hired them for a 3 piece jazz band and also for a DJ to get people dancing later int he night. Their music was incredible and really got the mood going! Everyone kept talking about how amazing they were. They fit in with our vibe perfectly and created a beautiful, romantic and fun evening. Josh was also very professional throughout the entire process and accommodated all of our needs and questions. 10/10 would recommend these guys! Worth every penny and more.

    Toronto Jazz Collective's reply:

    Thank you so much for your lovely review Maggie! It was such a pleasure being part of your wedding and ringing in the new year with you and your guests! Enoch Turner Schoolhouse was such a great venue choice for you guys, it looked fantastic. What a perfect night. We wish you a lifetime of love and happiness from the TJC Team!

    Amazing night!

    Thank you to Toronto Jazz Collective for creating such a great atmosphere during our ceremony and dinner. The acoustic during our ceremony was exactly what we were looking for. We chose Saxophone and piano during dinner which set a nice ambiance for our guests!

    Toronto Jazz Collective's reply:

    Thanks Tim! It was our absolute pleasure to provide our musical services for your special day. We wish you and Lisa all the best! Congrats!

    Absolutely Fantastic!

    I cannot recommend the TJC enough. I emailed them several months out from my wedding and they replied promptly with a number of wedding packages based on what I asked for, giving me a range of services and prices.

    At no time did I feel any pressure to choose anything more than I was comfortable paying, and I think they actually ended up recommending a package that was in the middle of the range they offered. We ended up with a three piece ensemble for the ceremony and cocktail reception and a DJ for the dinner and dancing. Both were beyond excellent.

    The ensemble had a selection of music to pick from and they even learned "Tale as Old As Time" from "Beauty and the Beast" as a special request for my wife!

    DJ Duck was similarly awesome. He had no problem finding and playing our first dance song and he played a pretty excellent mix of music all night. I don't think the dance floor emptied out until we sent the last of our guests home.

    Overall, we cannot thank them enough!

    Toronto Jazz Collective's reply:

    Nick, thank you so much for your kind words! Our team had such a blast being a part of your wedding. You and Stacey were an absolute pleasure to work with and both looked fabulous. You guys truly have amazing friends and family who were really fun to perform for, they were so appreciative of the music. We couldn't have been happier to be part of your entire wedding from your Ceremony through to the end of the night. Wishing you two newly weds all the best!!! Please keep in touch!

    Amazing band! Talented and friendly. Highly recommend!!

    The Toronto Jazz Collective was fantastic! They were so lovely to work with, and were extremely helpful in ensuring we had the sound and combination of musicians that we were looking for. They worked with us to get the right set list and were so easy to communicate with.
    Plus, they are incredibly talented!! We had so many guests tell us how much they loved the music, and everyone danced the whole night!
    I would definitely recommend them if you are looking for a band that will have everyone up and partying the night away.

    Toronto Jazz Collective's reply:

    Thanks so much for the kind words Jessica! A big congrats to you and Matthew! Wishing you two all the best!

    If you like top notch jazz and soul, the Toronto Jazz Collective is your band

    We had a world class experience all around, and the music was amazing. We received tons of compliments from our families and friends, and the TJC was very easy to work with. Thank you Josh and band--we'll always treasure that time, and the music was the perfect soundtrack.

    Toronto Jazz Collective's reply:

    Thank you kindly Nathan! It was such a pleasure to be a part of yours and Aliya's special day. We're so happy to hear that you and your guests enjoyed the music. The Museum Room at the Shangri La looked fantastic and so did you and Aliya. Wishing you two newly weds all the best! Keep in touch!
