• Ambience was a perfect addition to our office holiday party! They were extremely talented and very easy and professional to work with. Their sound was very rich, clear and strong. The singer's voice was wonderful and the band was full of highly talented musicians. They also go the crowd dancing which was something we weren't sure would happen with a jazz band. But everyone loved them and thought they were amazing. I would highly recommend them to anyone seeking an awesome jazz band for their event. -- Jessixa B, Seattle, WA, 12/17/2010
• Ambience Jazz Quartet was the perfect choice for the Starlight Annual Oscar Event! Their sound was fabulous and really added to the entire glam and flow of the evening. They were extremely professional and so easy to work with. We were very impressed and received numerous compliments from guests. We look forward to having Ambience Jazz Quartet back again next year playing for our Oscar event downtown Seattle. -- Natalie C, Seattle, WA, 2/27/2011

• George Stone worked closely with my wife and I on the schedule and the songs which we requested. He was very professional and accommodating to suit our budget and needs. The music was perfect for our venue and we all enjoyed their performance. Everyone was on time and the event flowed smoothly as we had planned. I'm very impressed and would definitely hire them again. -- Kenneth C, Snoqualmie, WA, 10/29/2011
• They were terrific. Learned a song new to them at our request. Met with us in person to discuss the arrangements. Friendly, well dressed, showed up early, perfect volume, great tunes...and they got a standing ovation from our guests after the luncheon! -- Dawn L, Seattle, WA, 7/17/2011
