Wedding Reception•Reviewed on September 23, 2013•From Philadelphia, PA
Amber Rae and her band were absolutely fantastic. Their style and their sound were perfect for our wedding and we couldn't have been happier with their professionalism and their performance. From their instrumental set during cocktail hour, to their more low key songs earlier in the reception, to their more upbeat bluesy/funky tunes later on in the party, they read the room perfectly. Neither I nor my friends have ever danced so much at a wedding. They even got an encore chant! If you are looking for a very talented band that plays good jazz/blues/swing and can really pick the tempo if if that is what you want, this is your band. I could not recommend them more.

It was such a pleasure having The Swinging Foxes perform at our recent party.The band really knew how to read the crowd and knew exactly what to play based on the energy in the room.They set the tone perfectly and by the end the party was hoppin! It was so nice to feel relaxed as the host and feel confident that the band was maintaining the flow of the party.We were so impressed.Their performance was like a musical journey that combined swinging arrangements and tight rhythms from standards right up to contemporary songs.The group as a whole was especially accommodating, professional and quite entertaining as our guests thoroughly enjoyed. We Loved them!

The band was absolutely phenomenol. They were very accomodating with our requests and our budget. My husband and I prepared a dance for our song and the band was able to make on the fly adjustments to ensure we were able to complete our routine. Something you'd never get with a DJ. It was perfect! Everyone loved the music and we continue to get compliments even months after the wedding. Amber Rae has an amazing voice and their sweet jazz was perfect for our outdoor wedding. Many of the guests, young and old, took advantage of the timeless music and really enjoyed dancing. I couldn't have asked for a better performer. I highly recommend them for any occasion.

We had Amber Rae and the Swingin Foxes for our wedding reception and could not have made a better decision. Amber was incredibly communicative during the planning process and really made me feel at ease. I can honestly say that other vendors were not so cooperative and stressed me out during planning but I never had to worry about my band. Amber and I e-mailed back and forth for months prior. The band even learned a bunch of special songs just for us and went above and beyond. The whole band rocked and totally had everyone up and dancing. We were so happy with them and the wedding was a blast. Amber is an amazing singer and the band killed it. Thank you guys again!!!

Absolutely THE BEST Jazz band in the Tri-State area, if not the world. All of our guests raved about them. They not only played all of the songs we love from their catalog but a few diddys that they learned at our request. Even threw in a special surprise song knowing what huge Muppet fans we are. Amber, Andy, Ellen and the other members of The Swinging Foxes helped to make our wedding day more perfect then we could have ever imagined. Thank you so much!!!!
Love Mike and Michelle Partyka.

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on April 28, 2012•From Glen Burnie, MD
"Hats off to Amber Rae and The Swinging Foxes for a job well done." Finding the music genre and band for the 80th Birthday Man's good old days was the task at hand. Gigmasters made that job easy. There were over 100 guests of varied ages attending the Gala event. During the party and even several weeks later many of the guests have complimented me on my selection of the band.
Sincerely,
The Youngs

What was on the top of the list of most important details when we planned our wedding at the Hyatt Regency Penn's Landing? The answer is food and music. SCORE!! Amber Rae and The Swinging Foxes performed for 5 hours and the party flowed and rocked and swung seamlessly. We are a mature couple with young adult children and our guests ranged in age from 5 year olds to 89 year olds. Every one was dancing, every one was smiling and all of our guests asked us, with hearty exclamation, "Where did you find that band? They are phenomenal?" The band enthusiastically learned our special requests and performed them as if they had been playing them for years. Your search is over!

Amber Rae & The Swinging Foxes were both a delight to work with and gave an outstanding performance. We hired them to entertain at a large school event (evening, parents) and they were a hit! I only wish we'd been able to have them start earlier and play longer. A few people have inquired about the "fabulous band," and I hope some of our guests will consider hiring them for their own events. Amber is wonderful to work with - professional, organized and responsible. Everyone in the band arrived on time, and set-up and breakdown seem to be effortless. Would definitely recommend!

We really enjoyed the Swinging Foxes' performance at our event. They were very accommodating to our club needs. Members commented on their sound throughout the night. Each individual musician was complimented by various attendees. We would definitely recommend them to a friend and consider inviting them back for another event.

Wedding Reception•Reviewed on May 25, 2016•From Wilmington, DE
We were very pleased with Amber Rae and the Swinging Foxes. They are extremely talented and very accommodating. The guests at our wedding were of a wide range of ages so I was a little concerned about having music everyone could dance to. It turned out to be great! The dance floor was full the whole night and even the caterers and photographers commented on how much fun the reception was. Amber Rae had a large role to play in that. They kept the music swinging and played enough contemporary songs to keep the kids as well as the older crowd on the floor. I highly recommend them--tell them what you want and they will give it to you.

The Swinging Foxes did an amazing job for our wedding. The band is absolutely amazing and the songs played kept the crowd entertained! Amber has an amazing voice and she sings right from the heart. The only down fall was the band was set up in a separate area from the dining hall, due to the lack of room we had. We did not have an MC for our wedding, which may have been good to hire with the band. Other than that, everyone had an amazing time and people are still talking about the band. Something that will be remembered forever!
