Wedding Reception•Reviewed on October 15, 2014•From Califon, NJ
We hired the Recessionals for our wedding and they rocked it! They played a total of 4 hours including cocktail hour and reception. All the guests danced, from my 3 year old niece to our older guests. We did the limbo and a congo line, and when it was over, everyone screamed for one more song. The Recessional obliged. The horn players came out to play on the dance floor with us which everyone loved. They even learned the song "All About That Bass" by Meghan Trainor a week before the wedding for me. All night we had guests asking us who they were and where we found them. I could not say better things about these guys and how happy I am. Highly recommend!!!

We hired The Recessionals for our wedding in Boston, and could not have been happier. Everyone had an amazing time, they kept us all dancin all night long, and we were so grateful to them for the amazing tone they set for out wedding. Working with them the months before was so easy-I always heard from them in a timely manner and they were very accommodating. We would definitely hire them again an would recommend anyone else hire them too!

The booking process was easy and my follow-up phone calls with Martin Eisenberg were informative as was our pre-event meeting.
We were planning a turn-of-the-century themed event at my workplace and The Recessionals added just the right amount of ambiance and class to the event.
Their playlist was extensive, they were warm and entertaining to all that attended, and even accommodated some special requests.
I recommend them without hesitation. We look forward to hiring them again for another event real soon.

I am glad that this band was able to perform for our banquet, the only concern I had was when they were late getting here, because our guests arrived and they had to wait to enter because the band was still setting up. Overall the band did a very good job and everyone enjoyed their performance.

The Recessionals Jazz Band did a fantastic job at Liberty Hall Museum's Great Gatsby Party. Our guests felt as if they stepped back in time to the 1920's with the wonderful music they played all night long. They were also very engaging with the crowd, walking out to the dance floor where the guests were dancing and made it very entertaining. Without them, the guests would not have been up and dancing the way they were all night long. The music was great and without them, the event would not have been such a great success! If you are looking for an awesome jazz band, The Recessionals are definitely the ones to go to!!
Private Party•Reviewed on June 11, 2013•From New York City, NY
The Recessionals Jazz Band were wonderful to deal with prior to, during, and after our corporate summer party.
Torrential rains during the, thankfully, tented event notwithstanding, they were on time, and got people dancing and raving for four hours.
While we did have a program set, they easily adapted to changes due to games and a number of speeches.
Not only do they have a great repertoire, they are excellent musicians and extremely nice guys.
Highly recommended for any event!
