Wedding Reception•Reviewed on October 22, 2023•From Carlsbad, CA
Katie, her husband, and the rest of the band were fantastic! My guests loved the variety of music they provided from Bossa nova, to contemporary, to modern jazz, they were all blown away. Not only that but they were so accommodating in helping to host some of the portions of our reception including introductions, toasts, and our shoe game on top of their music duties. Katie was also so sweet and communicative during the planning process. They also gave us the ability to pick songs and were very organized. Overall, my husband and I were so happy with their performance and would definitely book them again!

Wow, Denice! This is such a wonderful review! You and your husband were truly a pleasure to work with. What a spectacular wedding day! We are grateful to have been a part of it. Thank you so much for the kind words -- and for supporting live music! I'm so happy we were able to contribute to making your day a special one. Wishing you both all the very best! -Katie & The Band

The Secret Jazz Band performed for my husbands 60 th Birthday party and they were amazing! They were prompt, professional, and they played all our favorites from our playlist. Our guests were very impressed with the lead singer Katie as well as the 4 musicians in band. They also brought lighting which also enhanced the vibe and mood of our party. They are a class act for sure!We will surely hire them again in the future.

Wedding•Reviewed on August 27, 2018•From Oceanside, CA
The Secret Jazz Band played at our wedding and we all LOVED them. They played our first dance song live and NAILED it. I attend a lot of live music performances and I rate The Secret Jazz Band as a top notch band. Their talent is amazing as is their professionalism and communication. The ambiance they provided for our special evening will be forever foremost in our memories. Have I mentioned, I just couldn't stop dancing?! and our guests are still talking about "the band"! Our Day Of Planner has added them to her preferred vendor list. We took someone's advise in their review – “hire them and don’t look back” – and now I’m passing that advice to you too!
:
OH MY! Thank you Colleen and Larry for one of our best best reviews ever! We had a spectacular time at you rooftop wedding this Summer. It was too much fun playing Fly Me To The Moon for your first dance. All your guests were very kind and you two look so happy! We truly wish you both all the best in love and life! Kind wishes, Katie & The Band

They were very personable, friendly, energetic, and offered a fantastic performance for our senior residents to enjoy and dance to. I will keep them on my list of entertainers for future big events. We (Staff, residents, guests, ect.) were all very happy with the music and quality we received from the Secret Jazz Band. 5/5!

Wedding Cocktail Hour•Reviewed on August 4, 2010•From Valencia, CA
The greatest thing we did for our reception was hiring Katie Harris. After we booked, Katie stayed in contact with us throughout the months leading to our wedding. The whole process was enjoyable. I cannot express how relaxing it was when it came to preparing for the big day. We had absolutely no doubts about the professionalism and timeliness of the band. With all the time and effort we put forth towards the food, decorations, and favors, 99% of our guests' compliments were about the band. They were absolutely amazing! Everyone loved Katie Harris. Please do yourself a favor. Book this band and never look back. The reviews don't lie.

Katie Harris and The Secret Jazz Band were fabulous to work with! Katie is well organized and takes all the stress out of hosting a party. She and her band are totally flexible and will play the music you request. They were all very positive, professional, respectful, relaxed and a pleasure to have at our event! I highly recommend them and look forward to referring them to my friends.

Wedding•Reviewed on October 18, 2008•From Coto de Caza, CA
PERFECT!!!!!!!!!!! I could not be more thrilled with this band. I used them for my wedding reception and Katie was soooo accommodating with all of my special requests. They are very talented. Everyone at my reception raved about them. Trust me--I searched around and you cannot find this good of a jazz band for this price anywhere else. Besides that, Katie is such a sweet person! She was a breath of fresh air when everything around me was so hectic. It was such a pleasure to work with her!! She was always so quick to get back to me when I had questions and she bent over backwards to cater to my requests. She and her band truly set the perfect mood for my day

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on August 2, 2017•From El Segundo, CA
We hired the The Secret Jazz Band to play at my mom's 70th birthday party and they were incredible. Katie was an absolute delight to communicate with beforehand, and the day of all three of them were easygoing and accommodating in regards to special requests and even providing accompaniment for family members who wanted to perform songs for my mom. Katie's voice is a like a dream, and their song selection and overall vibe made the party just what we were hoping for. All the guests commented on how great they were. I highly recommend The Secret Jazz Band! We would definitely hire them again!

Corporate Function•Reviewed on February 12, 2018•From Long Beach, CA
The Secret Jazz Band was the perfect choice for our corporate event! We have a VIP, invitation-only networking party every year for our customers. We had around 300 people in attendance. We haven't had the best experiences in the past with bands understanding the fact that this event is for NETWORKING and we need a moderate volume so people can still hear each other. They did an amazing job understanding this and they're extremely talented! Everyone loved the music. Katie was also extremely professional to work with before, during, and after the event. I highly recommend hiring them for your next event!

Wedding•Reviewed on June 25, 2015•From Los Angeles, CA
This review is long overdue! My husband and I got married in October 2014 and had an intimate 1920s wedding. We felt like a jazz band would be the perfect fit for the theme and the venue. From the very first contact with Katie, my husband and I felt completely comfortable and confident in her. We had special requests for our First Dance as well as the processional songs and they were very accommodating. Everything sounded perfect! Our guests as well as the event staff enjoyed the the Secret Jazz Band and gave us compliments on our selection many months after the wedding. Katie was also incredible in giving us recommendations on our timeline as well. :) Book them now!

Katie Harris and her quartet were absolutely marvelous. We had so many compliments about the music performance from all our guests. Her band was the personification of absolute perfection for our event. Professional, friendly, prompt and most importantly caring is how my wife and I felt about this band. I can not thank them so much for making our reception so memorable. If you are having a hard time deciding, please book Katie Harris and her quartet and you will be writing these same comments as above after the event! I guarantee it!!!

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on July 7, 2013•From Anaheim, CA
Katie and the Secret Jazz Band were exactly what I was hoping for. Their music set the tone for beautiful evening. I had compliments on the music from folks in their 20's through their 80's. I was a little bit nervous to hire a band sight unseen from the internet, but from start to finish The Secret Jazz band met or exceeded my expectations. Katie was very clear and responsive in communicating with me and setting arrangements prior to the event. On the event night the band arrived very early, had everything they needed, and set up without complaint in our small backyard poolside location. This was an extremely worthwhile splurge that made my dad's birthday magical!

Private Party•Reviewed on March 21, 2015•From Los Angeles, CA
The Secret Jazz Band was exceptionally professional and talented. I asked them to help me surprise my girlfriend when I proposed, and they made the experience truly unique and unforgettable. Katie is a true pleasure to work with - she was responsive, pleasant and committed from day one, as well as so easy to get in touch with. Every request was handled immediately and in a truly professional way. We look forward to having them perform at our wedding. Do not look anywhere else for a jazz band for your special occassions.

Corporate Function•Reviewed on October 24, 2013•From Los Angeles, CA
Katie Harris and The Secret Jazz band played our corporate event with over a thousand people at the Westin Bonaventure LA in an atmosphere (noise level, traffic) that was sometimes challenging. We asked for a last minute change in location and they were very accommodating. They were all smiles, very professional and never got ruffled by anything. They brought all their own equipment and lights and performed at 100% percent. The music was awesome -- the playing and singing first-rate. I give them five stars all the way -- if you book them I bet you will not be disappointed.

The Secret Jazz Band was great!!! We decided we wanted to book a jazz band for our 1920's/Great Gatsby themed company holiday party 5 days before our event and Katie was professional and efficient from the start. The band arrived on time, played the music we requested beautifully, and was a pleasure to work with. I will definitely be using them again for future company events and refer them to anyone I know.

Katie Harris $ Her Quartet were amazing!! Words could not describe the romantic and exciting ambience that they created with their performance at our wedding. Katie is more than just an absolutely talented singer and performer, because even if she is just standing there her entertaining presence is enough to make one want to watch her and her band. We could not have imagined our reception without them, they truly made our wedding so memorable and we will be forever greatful. I would recommend Katie and her band over and over again. If you are wanting a classy fun and exciting event look for Katie Harris to perform!!!

Fundraiser•Reviewed on September 29, 2007•From Bakersfield, CA
They were beyond perfect, even more than we could have hoped for! Kate's voice was sublime and the guys were incredibly talented and friendly. They were professional, accomodating and a joy to work with...happy to adapt to a smaller than expected space and willing to tone down for back ground or kick it up when needed. The even broke into some AC/DC during a jazz set late in the evening for a guest request! Our guests were incredibly impressed with their performance and many asked where we found them. We would HIGHLY recommend them for any event and can't wait to see them again next weekend for our next fundraiser!
