we weren’t quite sure what to expect with a live band at our own wedding but the experience was nothing short of amazing. The band was super accommodating with our song selection, their repertoire was lengthy and well rounded, and all that comes before how impressed we were with their performance.
There was not a single guest at our wedding that didn’t come over to us to let us know how incredible the band was, and we couldn’t help but agree. Claudio and crew- you guys were incredible and we can’t wait to catch you guys live somewhere soon!
Much love,

My husband and I were looking for a band that could provide us with sophisticated jazz for our wedding reception but could take it up tempo when our guests were ready to take the party to the dance floor. ASV delivered all this and more! Our guests had a wonderful time, and so many concluded their compliments by saying "....and THAT BAND!! Where did you find them? They were fantastic!"
Claudio Marquez, the manager of ASV, is wonderful. He was very responsive and helpful as he guided us through the process of making musical selections for our event. The group was timely, professional, beautifully dressed and well-organized, and they did a great job as MC.

LOVED THEM! Prior to the event they were extremely responsive to any calls or emails that I had which made us feel reassured of their professionalism. They arrived on time and looked sharp. During the event they played great music and was able to accommodate us when our event ran late. The best part was their rate was fantastic! Better by far than any of the other talent that I looked into for the event. I would certainly recommend them and use them again if ever having an event in the NY area again. They were absolutely lovely guys.

I seriously cannot express how amazing Claudio and ASV were. If i could give them one million stars i would. They played a bunch of requests of ours (some stranger than others) i got to walk down the aisle to 100,000 fireflies on the vibes. Everyone danced the whole night! and claudio was beyond amazing. He spent an hour with us the week before the wedding going through details and learned some songs a few days before. He also provided a sound system for the ceremony. The best part about them is that they weren't a generic wedding band. They played some top 40 stuff, but then they also played talking heads and mazzy star. They (and my husband) made my night perfect.

I am so happy to have found Ainslie Street Vibes for our wedding! We used a 3 piece band for our ceremony and a DJ for the reception. Claudio was fantastic to work with on our wedding day and the months leading up to it. During the planning stages he was incredibly responsive and professional. He helped us work through planning the timeline of our day and helped us nail down the best musical choices for our event. On the day of the wedding he was flexible and on top of things and helped our party run so smoothly. He was a pleasure to work work and I cannot recommend ASV enough!

Ainslie Street Vibes and Claudio were phenomenal at our wedding this weekend! Claudio was extremely helpful throughout our planning process & helped guide us through our music selections. At the last minute, my dad wanted to change our Father/Daughter dance song, and they happily made the change (and even though they said they'd be able to do our second choice, they ended up surprising us at the last minute with our first choice!) Our guests raved about the professionalism and talent of every band member; the band even took requests from our friends. Ainslie Street Vibes helped to create the perfect atmosphere at our wedding! We will be recommending them to everyone!

My husband and I are SO happy we found Ainslie Street Vibes. From the very beginning, Claudio was friendly, professional and patient with us. The band was very flexible, and we feel like we got the best of everything: 3-piece band playing during cocktail hour, 5-piece with an incredible vocalist, Keren, during the first half of our reception, and then Claudio took over as DJ for the remaining 2 hours of our party. They were incredible (we got so many compliments on them!), totally delivered on our requests, and they truly set the jazzy, vintage nightclub tone we wanted for our wedding. They even unknowingly played one of my favorite songs after our first dance!

Working with Ainslie Street Vibes was an absolute pleasure. Their lead musician, Claudio, is extremely talented but also nice and accommodating to deal with. We were particularly impressed with the breadth and depth of talent within the group; we had a classics trio, a jazz quartet and DJing all in one night! We would highly recommend the group and would definitely work with them again.

ainslie street vibes performed at our wedding last night and we could not have been happier. Keren played guitar and sang during our ceremony and cocktail hour. She was willing to learn several songs we requested and her voice was absolutely beautiful. Claudio was our contact person throughout and also DJ'd our reception. He was extremely responsive and wonderful during the planning and his DJ'ing kept everyone out on the dance floor and having a blast. We absolutely recommend Claudio and Keren to anyone having an event!

Ainslie Street Vibes were the upmost in professionalism, accommodation and talent when we hired them for our wedding. The reception began with a jazz trio, followed by a DJ set by the band leader, Claudio, who also doubled over as a wonderful MC for the different stages of the reception. Every request we made, he strove to meet and even when we made last minute adjustments or late requests, he took them onboard without fuss. We had a great day and we couldn’t have achieved such an evening without Ainslie Street Vibes. I would highly recommend hiring Ainslie Street Vibes for any occasion. - Bud

Thank you so much to Claudio and Co. for providing our wedding with exceptional music. All our guests kept asking us about this band as they were extremely impressed with their performance as well as their professionalism. They played our special songs perfectly and livened up the party with such upbeat music. Thanks again Ainslie Street Vibes for making our wedding so special. You were definitely a highlight of the event

We couldn't be happier with Ainslie Street Vibes! Even before I booked them, Claudio worked with me to arrange our favorite songs. He was very professional and responded quickly to all of my emails. We were thrilled at the quality of their performance during our wedding. They arrived on time, set up quickly, and were so easygoing about playing two different locations over the course of the evening. They were also very chill about our last-minute requests. Our guests absolutely loved them and kept asking where we had found them! Ainslie Street Vibes were fantastic - my only regret was not booking them for the whole reception too!

Talented, on time, clean and perfect for the occasion. They actually saved our wedding as our venue lied to us and did not even have a PA. Claudio let us rent his and it saved our party.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

I recently had Ainslie Street Vibes play at my loft for a party. They did such an amazing job and truly were a HIT. They had a great stage presence and sounded incredible. Though they have a great range in songs they totally listened to our preferences and played to the vibe of the party. I would recommend them for any gather whether it be large or small. They were good enough to be main performers but also able to play background music and allow the party to flow. Also - they were a complete pleasure to deal with. Highly recommend!

Absolutely amazing performance! Claudio and his band are very accommodating and professional. Very good Latin/jazz standards for our cocktail hour. The band's singer, Kelly Ash, has a wide range of vocal styles and sang beautifully. We gave Claudio a playlist ranging from pop to country and gave him freedom to put his style on cover songs. The result was excellent. Definitely recommending Claudio and his band to friends and family!

Ainslie Street Vibes provided the perfect background music to our corporate event. There were many comments from guests about the high quality of the music, but was done at a sound level that allowed everyone to comfortably talk and socialize. I highly recommend this group to anyone seeking quality live music for their events.

This was the best thing I've ever did for my wedding. The band was extremely proffesional and prompt. My guests are still talking about how classy they made my event. I didn't get to see them myself because I was all over taking pictures however I was approached by serveral guests about them. MONEY VERY WELL SPENT! I would definitely recomend them to anyone and everyone!

Wedding Reception•Reviewed on March 21, 2014•From Brooklyn, NY
Nothing but positives. Claudio is just a wonderful guy and was so accommodating with all of our requests. The band can play any style -- smooth and Latin jazz seems to be their specialty, but they had no problem transitioning into rock and pop after the cocktail hour, throwing in a couple of Jewish standards, and they even let me sit in with the band on a couple of numbers! The rate they quoted us was so reasonable that it almost gave me pause, but ASV sounded just as good as bands that were asking for almost twice as much. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for a first-class, quality band.
