Jack Garrett Band and Productions

My husband and I are musicians, so one of the biggest wedding priorities for us was having great live music at our reception. Luckily, we found Jack Garrett and his fabulous band! This group of amazing musicians provided wonderful music for the entire evening, from jazz standards and Sinatra classics to ballads and swing tunes and wedding favorites! Our guests from all generations loved the professional caliber of the group and spent the evening dancing and enjoying the talents of the fine musicians. From the beginning of our interactions, Jack was extremely professional and very friendly. Jack made our meetings very convenient by being flexible with his schedule and driving to meet us in Cincinnati. We met twice to discuss an itinerary for the evening and also to talk about song lists and Jack was very thorough in following-up to make sure our evening would go as smoothly as possible. Jack has extensive experience with weddings, and his advice and suggestions were extremely appreciated. He helped us so much with organization and timing - and his personality was such a joy to have as part of our wedding. Jack went above and beyond for us with the music. He had an arrangement of our favorite song written for his band so we could have a live version for our first dance, and it was perfect. Jack's band provided a fun duo jazz combo for our cocktail hour and played some laid back tunes during dinner, then broke the dance floor open with "In the Mood" after our toasts. Guests are still telling me how much they loved the music (truly professional - sounds like all the recordings!!), and the floor was full for the entire evening. Even some guests who were unable to dance stayed until the end of the night just to enjoy the amazing group, headed by Jack's vocals. When I think of our wedding night, I think of how perfect it was because Jack and his musicians were there. Bottom line: Jack will work with you to design a beautiful evening. He is friendly, organized, charismatic, and extremely talented as a vocalist and band leader. You and your guests won't ever forget Crooner Jack and his fabulous musicians!

Jack and his guys were extraordinary. From the planning process to the day of the reception, Jack was available and professional, offering suggestions and making us feel comfortable about how the reception would run. They played our first song with an original score, which was priceless. The night was flawless. The band was fantastic. Our guests had a fabulous time enjoying the music. Do not hesitate to book Jack and the band for your reception!

Jack Garrett Productions is the complete package. From the beginning we needed someone dedicated and experienced. We were married at the Contemporary Arts Center, using 2 floors for the whole night. Jack came up with a plan to work between the 2 floors flawlessly. He wirelessly worked the upstairs with a DJ-type setup, and used the downstairs space for the band. It was perfect! He met with us not once, but three times, to discuss music, see the spaces, and nail down the details. he was also extremely involved through email. I can't speak enough good things about his dedication to making your wedding successful. He listened to our ideas and made sure our wedding would represent us. Jack acted as coordinator, emcee, singer/bandleader, pretty much everything! He entertained with ease and my guests really enjoyed the live music, as well as being able to hear their favorites with the DJ. We used a lot of our favorite music for the dinner and ceremony, which he, again, really listened to our ideas. From the beginning to the end, Jack was involved, caring, and dedicated to making sure our big night went smoothly so we could enjoy it. I cannot say enough great things about Jack. BOOK HIM NOW. You will never grow tired of the positive feedback you get from having Jack involved in your wedding.

Jack and the Swinging Stars (10-piece band) played at our wedding reception in Toledo OH in October 2010, and they exceeded our expectations. The band was enjoyed by guests of all ages. They were classy during dinner, and brought a great level of energy as the night progressed.In addition to great music, Jack met with us to help plan a wonderful reception. After our meeting, he sent a full reception schedule which proved to be very helpful. Jack also provided DJ services during the bands few short breaks, and he was a great Emcee for the evening.

Jack goes above and beyond the call of duty. Not only was he willing to accommodate our idiosyncrasies (e.g. special song requests, trivia games, wedding party announcements), but he made sure that he did it with professionalism and perfection. I wanted a classic Sinatra/Bobby Darin/swing sound to the music during the reception, and he did this to perfection- our guests loved it. He also included some renditions of modern music that really entertained our younger guests. Making sure our wedding (ceremony AND reception) ran well was his main priority. He met with us twice. The first time we met was so that we could get a frame of events. The second time we met was so that he could get all the details perfectly. I didn't have to worry about a thing, and we received many compliments from the guests about the music. He travels and is very reasonably priced...

Jack Garrett and his band made our wedding reception! His musicians are very high caliber and Jack paced the music so the dance floor was full all night long. They sounded so good that they even had people up and dancing during the dinner hour! Jack was great in the planning stages and met with my husband and I multiple times to custom tailor our night. He planned the evening with us beforehand and then acted as MC, vocalist, band leader, and also DJ the night of. Jack even had a song arranged for his band for our first dance that they'd never heard before, and he and the band played it perfectly. We felt very comfortable that he had everything under control, so we were able to relax and enjoy our night. We got so many compliments on the music the next morning! I can't recommend Jack and his band enough if you want live music for your reception. You won't be disappointed.

Jack Garrett and his band were exactly what we wanted for our wedding reception. He kept our guest entertained and dancing for the entire night-in fact he even had to help us kick people out at the end of the party! Jack was great at knowing our guest and played music that kept the dance floor full. Everyone, from our great aunt to our young cousins enjoyed what Jack had to offer. What I am most grateful for is how professional he was throughout the entire planning phase before our wedding. He was certain to meet with us in person multiple times so that he could really get to know us and what it was we were looking for. He also eliminated the need for a wedding coordinator for the wedding reception as he had everything in control. This was great as it kept me from worring and allowed me to just enjoy the moment. I would highly recommend Jack and his band to anyone who is looking for a classy, professional, service that promises to also deliever a great time!

Jack Garret and his band were an INCREDIBLE asset to our wedding day. He hit the nail on the head and gave us everything we were looking for and more. His music is spectacular. We wanted our guests to have the time of their lives and everyone did. The dance floor was packed all night! We did not have one negative comment. Everything went absolutely perfectly. He really works with you before your reception to plan the whole night, you don't need a wedding planner if you have Jack. He does it ALL! I would recommend Jack Garrett to anyone who wants their wedding day to be perfect!

We lucked out. All of our vendors were great but Jack and the Band were unbelievable. We wanted a band that everyone could enjoy, young and old alike. Jack Delivered. It was more than we had expected. Jack was extremely professional and we were able to enjoy our day as Jack kept everything on schedule and gave us cues to do all the stuff that you have to do at a reception�cut cake, first dance, father daughter dance, etc. You�d be surprised how when you�re being pulled in many different directions these things can slip your mind. Jack kept it all on track.The music was AWESOME! Everyone loved the band which was professional and, dare I say, groovy! Everyone was dancing and he created exactly the mood we were looking for, more like a laid back cocktail hour. We were told by several people that our reception was the most fun one they had attended, due in no small part to the excellent band. We would like to thank Jack for the hours he put in before the wedding reception, for assembling a great band, and making our special day even more special with great music and lasting memories. Thanks Jack (and the trio)!

Jack Garrett and his band were an absolutely wonderful part of our wedding. Jack went above and beyond the usual services of a DJ/band leader. He drove out to my family's home twice before our wedding, and was meticulous about organizing our reception (i.e. announcing the bridal party/bride & groom into the reception, finalizing our song list, choosing our first dance song, etc.). Jack won't only serve as your DJ/band leader, but also as your wedding planner!And the music was FABULOUS. We had countless compliments throughout the night from guests. Their instruments and Jack's vocals sounded even better than on CD. The live music was definitely one of the best parts of our wedding. I would highly recommend Jack & his band to any other bride!

This is the perfect band for a perfect evening! Jack Garrett and the band were outstanding to work with. They provided a classy mood for our wedding reception that guests are still talking about after nearly a year! The song selections, style and skill of these talented musicians put me completely at ease so that I (and my guests) could enjoy the experience of a lifetime. You can't go wrong with these guys!

I cannot say enough about Jack Garrett & his crew!! We had a hard time figuring out what to do when we first booked our morning wedding and our afternoon reception music. We weren't sure if our guests would appreciate the traditional hokey "DJ" but we didn't want just a boring little trio playing background music. Jack made our reception a success!! He offered all the wonderful Jazz standards that my husband and I love so much but yet we had the ability to use the DJ for our current pop guilty pleasures! He even learned a new song for our first dance (Frank Sinatra's "Love is Here to Stay", perfect! It was the trio's first time playing it together, and it was PERFECT!!). All of our guests had an amazing time at the reception! Jack also provided as the "MC" so neither my husband or I were stressed about what came next and the flow of the reception. He was so professional! He met with us about 3 times to talk about our vision for the day, our fav. songs (and the "no-plays") and the order of dances, cutting the cake and special dances to include. He really cared about getting to know us and cared about giving us the reception of our dreams. He is very professional, flexible and very knowledgable about "what works". I think it was a little strange for him to host the "afternoon reception" but I can only imagine what he can do for a nighttime extravaganza! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Jack Garrett was our favorite vendor! We met with him twice before our reception to plan and go over the music. He was easy to work with and very helpful with ideas and tips. The band was great and the dance floor was full most of the night. Several of our guests asked where we found him. We had a four piece band (piano, bass, drums & sax) with Jack and a dj. Everyone had a great time. Having really good entertainment was important to us. We would highly recommend them.

Jack was great. He was the vocalist and we also had him bring a 3 piece band with him. Jack was easy to work with and is an expert at weddings! One of the reasons we choose him was because I wanted a live band and my husband wanted a DJ to make sure all our guests were dancing and having a good time. Jack Garrett provides both a live band and DJ equipment that he uses together. The night flowed so well and everyone had a great time. He appealed to our older crowd and our friends in their 20Â’s. Jack really worked the crowd and got everyone involved during dinner. Jack and his trio sounded fantastic and we are so glad we went with them.
