Blue Breeze Band (Motown R&B Soul Funk Jazz Blues)

Harold and The Blue Breeze Band turned our reception into a rocking party!!! They were so flexible and able to play many different genres of music (from motown to reggae to funk, something for everybody!!!) to ensure people were on their feet and dancing the entire night! They also provided MC services for us, and everything was smooth and professional. I cannot recommend The Blue Breeze Band enough-- The amount of heart and soul these men put into their music is palpable and they made every moment memorable.

The Blue Breeze Band was absolutely amazing!! They played a huge role in making our wedding a success. Everyone, of all ages, raved about them and asked asked where we found such a great band. They were professional, friendly and played exactly the type of music we were hoping for. We highly recommend them and will most definitely use their services any time we need a band again in the future.

The BBB was excellent. We found them through our wedding coordinator and they were extremely flexible in helping us decide on how large of a band we wanted and were willing to learn new songs per our request. They were wonderful at our reception - impressive musicians who kept the guests happy and bopping to the music all night long. The BBB has been one of the things that our guests remember most from our wedding, and we were very pleased with their courtesy, music style, emcee-ing, ability to communicate with us/our wedding coordinator, and energy at our reception. We highly recommend this band for your reception and encourage you to dance the night away to their music. They definitely made the reception and were courteous and easy to work with.

If you are looking for the funk and soul sound of the 60s 70s and up until today, this is your band. Harold and the guys definitely know how to put on a good party, and they bring the funk in a very real way. I've seen a lot of funk and soul bands on the east coast, chicago and west coast, and The Blue Breeze closed out set 2 with 'I Wish' and it was exactly what I had wished for. Stevie Wonder, Isley Brothers, Sly Stone, Otis, and a few tunes from today as well, they nailed every single one of them. Even though these bass lines are down and dirty, the band is as professional, courteous, and accommodating as could possibly be. I literally gave them a basic schedule and they did their thing with minimal direction needed. I will mention that the band's price is very fair, definitely worth every penny. Do not hesitate to book this group of funk masters, their youtubes do not do them justice.

Absolutely fantastic band ... everyone at the wedding was saying how great they were. Harold and the Band put in alot of effort to make the party happen and before we knew it everyone was up and dancing on the dancefloor. Music selection was so good My Bride and I were the last to leave the party at 2.30am !! This band comes very highly recomended !!! Anthony & Michelle

I should start by saying that this is the groom writing the review. I'm not disclosing this because I believe that complete transparency is required here, but because I'm extremely proud that I BOOKED THIS BAND FOR OUR WEDDING. ME. I was trusted with only one major job for this thing and man did I deliver. Okay, so it was actually The Blue Breeze Band that delivered, but I'm taking a small sliver of credit here because there are literally thousands of wedding bands in the LA area and it was a painful, difficult search. Much whiskey was consumed and many, many awful renditions of "Wonderful Tonight" were endured. But I digress... Harold was immediately responsive to emails and phone calls leading up to the event and was receptive to special requests pertaining to the set list and schedule. The band allowed us to use their sound equipment to play background music through our iPod during the cocktail hour, and then again for our first dance immediately after our arrival at the reception. Then, it was on like Donkey Kong. The poor dance floor never got a break; I was afraid it would actually burst into flames (and also kind of hoping it would cause that would be awesome). More than one incredibly sweaty and out-of-breath person told me that they "usually don't even dance at weddings!" Clearly, the band read the crowd perfectly. They also took care of announcing all of the necessary things: our arrival, the father/daughter and mother/son dances, the cake cutting, the toasts, and also the fact that it was time to take us to Funky Town. In summary, do yourself a solid and put and end to your search for a wedding band. Hire the Blue Breeze Band.

Harold Wherry and The Blue Breeze Band were helpful and easy to work with. Harold was patient with our questions regarding some points in the contract (we wanted to clarify the provisions in case the band cancelled, since that had happened with the previous band we thought we had lined up - of course we never needed these with the BBB), and he drove across town on a weekday to check out the venue well in advance of the gig, just to be sure that everything would go smoothly. On the night of the wedding the band sounded great and got people dancing. Afterwards many of our guests mentioned how much they liked the band. Highly recommended.

The Blue Breeze Band played at our wedding reception on July 24 2010. Harold and the Band were great to work with and very professional and accommodating. They play a wide variety of well chosen music from jazz to r@b and oldies rock and roll. We asked if they knew " The Way You Look Tonight" to play for our "First Dance" a few days before the event. Harold said they did not know the song but that he would see what he could do. They learned the song and played it beautifully for us on our "First Dance". We saw them play an outdoors concert in La Jolla a couple of weeks before our wedding and I have never seen so many people up and dancing at an outdoor concert before. They have a lot of fun playing and are very talented musicians. I highly recommend the Blue Breeze Band!

This band is awesome! The music was great and I was surprised how good the singing was. All our friends were impressed with the band. They arrived on time and worked with me on the flow of the event. My wedding was an Asian wedding and so it's quite different than regular wedding receptions. They were great with accommodating me with my requests. I would love to have them again for a future event - maybe a wedding anniversary some day. What I also loved was having the saxophone guy play next to us while we were dancing. We weren't expecting that and it was a nice surprise. Pretty much we had a bad ass band! You will be very happy with going with these guys.

My husband and I love live music and R&B/Blues so when we heard the Blue Breeze Band in Los Angeles we loved the music, but wondered if they would be able to get people on the dance floor on the big day. We were so pleased that the dance floor was PACKED the entire reception. At some weddings you start to lose people at the end of the night, but Harold and the other members of the band kept every guest there till the end. Everyone was disappointed that it was over! Everyone I spoke to raved about the band, and said they were the best part of the entire evening. Their music really appeals to every demographic- our twenty-something friends were living it up with our seventy year old grandparents! Harold was so professional during the entire process, and kept in contact with me during the year of planning. It was so important to us to have a band, and although typically that would have been a bit out of our budget, the Blue Breeze Band is surprisingly affordable. Contact Harold and he will send you a video of their performances. We couldn't be happier with our choice and highly recommend the Blue Breeze Band for your wedding!

Harold and the rest of the Blue Breeze Band are true professionals. They recently played our wedding ceremony and reception in La Jolla. Their ability to switch between genres (classical and jazz for the ceremony and blues, soul, rock, r and b for the reception) makes them flexible for any event. The set the perfect mellow mood for the ceremony on the beach and then shook the whole house down for the reception. Everyone at the wedding had a great time dancing the night away - old and young. I would highly, highly recommend their services to anyone planning a wedding or special celebration. Harold will go out of his way to create a song list for you and really make you feel special.

We were so lucky to have found this band. The band leader Harold is incredibly professional and will respond immediately with any questions. The made our ceremony and reception so much fun, people who never dance were dancing and everyone partied right until the last dance. We loved them so much that we have booked them for another organizations' event that are are a part of and can't wait to see them again. We would highly recommend this band!

The Blue Breeze Band was the PERFECT band for our event. They showed up 4 hours before the event just to make sure we were comfortable and everything was setup correctly. The band all wore tuxedos and looked sharp! Their music was incredible, they played both slow music and fast and upbeat. There could not have been a better band for out event. In addition all of their instruments looked nice and only added to the look of the night. Many thanks Blue Breeze Band!!!

TO whom it may concern: My husband and I were delighted to have Blue Breeze perform at our sons wedding. The bands professionalism helped to make the wedding and reception flow smoothly. The band members drove over 70 miles one way to get to the wedding location. They all arrived ahead of schedule and were set up in no time at all. The Blue Breeze bands musical performance included material that took us back to the good old days as well as to this present time. Our son, daughter-in-law and all that attended are still talking about what a wonderful time they had. We would like to highly recommend Harold wherry and Blue Breeze for your wedding or special event. Sincerely, Olivia Franklin

The Blue Breeze Band was so awesome. They really kept the dance floor packed and everyone commented on how great their music was. Harold and the guys were professional and did a wonderful job MCing our reception. I highly recommend them if you want a fun dance party.
