About In The Blue Jazz Ensemble

Jake Vanderheyden

Booking Agent

I am passionate about weddings because of the special impact that we get to make for each couple. As the manager and a member of the band, I get to create the best experience possible for all of my clients by seeing live how to make your day easy, exciting, and enjoyable. In The Blue Jazz Ensemble is truly unique because of our use of saxophones, our innovative rhythm section, and our options to customize our services to your needs. We work with the best professionals in the area to add additional musicians to our group at the requests of our clients!

We have the unique offering of a full music solution from the ceremony musicians to a DJ for dancing at the reception. We offer both live musicians and DJs in our packages. We also customize to every event to make sure you have the musical experience you have dreamed of.

  • Amazing!

    In The Blue Jazz Ensemble was absolutely amazing! From our first interaction, they were incredibly responsive and communicative, answering all of our questions thoroughly and ensuring we felt confident in their abilities. On the day of the wedding, they arrived on time and seamlessly set up, allowing the event to flow perfectly. Their performance was outstanding - they had our guests dancing all night long with their energetic and polished renditions of classic jazz standards and contemporary hits. Several of our guests commented that they were the best wedding band they had ever heard. We couldn't be happier with our decision to book In The Blue Jazz Ensemble for our special day.

    Booking this band will be the best decision you can make for your wedding. This young, capable group showed up and showed out for our wedding! People loved the subtle yet upbeat tone they brought to the happy hour. Got the party started and even helped my wife walk down the aisle with some beautiful solos!
