Eden Lane Jazz Band

Eden Lane came to play at our intimate wedding at the Harvard Club. They were incredible. They have very high quality gear. Stephanie has the most amazing voice and they just know how to do everything to make the night perfect. (Intuiting songs, background music during toasts, you name it.) They arrived hours early to be safe and needed absolutely no direction ... just came in like they’ve known us for years and just set up and played. We can’t wait for our next special occasion so we can have them play again!

We hired Eden lane for our October 14, 2017 wedding! It was truly the best part to our wedding! All of our guests commented on how amazing there sound was, that it wasn't overpowering and they could still talk to people, and yet sometimes they didn't want to talk to other people so they could hear Stephanie and the band. Their style on how they dressed and sounded totally fit our theme too! I had many conversations back and forth with Stephanie and Dylan, who also played our ceremony, and always had a quick response. They were both very accommodating with being able to play songs in their repertoire as well as song requests we had. The process was so easy that I wish I could plan another big event to have them play. Eden Lane was exactly everything that we were looking and hoping for in a band and so much more. Thank you for being amazing and being a huge part of our big day!

We so enjoyed Eden Lane last year that we re-hired them again for our 2017 WWII reunion. Their selection of songs was first class and Stephanie’s sultry voice can’t be beat (she was accompanied by an extremely competent guitarist and upright bass player for our gig). One veteran commented that he thought they were even better than ever, and everyone agreed that the addition of tight three part harmonies was a nice touch.

Not only do they provide wonderful entertainment, but Stephanie and her group are some of the nicest down to earth people you'll ever meet or hire. We give them 5 plus stars and are looking forward to having them back next year.

Can’t say enough! Highly recommended!

We hired Eden Lane as a Quintet for our July 2017 wedding. Everything was organized through their vocalist Stephanie. She was extremely accommodating, professional and friendly. On the day of the wedding, the band arrived early to set up. All song requests were fulfilled masterfully and their own repertoire was impressive and extensive. The vocals were exceptional and the instrumental accompaniment was perfect. This band really has style. They look great and sound even better. All guests, from age 80 to 3 years old were entertained....most were dancing (the band actually can trick your guests into thinking they have rhythm). We received so many compliments on the band, my favorite being that "they don't overpower you with their volume like many bands do....they lure you in and make you want to listen to them because they're that good." During the few breaks they took, they had a great playlist playing (you were almost grateful for the few breaks b/c it gave you a minute to focus on your guests instead of the great music!)
If you're looking for a jazz band and they're available, book them before someone else gets them for your date!

I highly recommend this band. Super nice individuals with tremendous talent!! Very accommodating

Stephanie and the boys were a perfect touch for our 250 guest " Kiss of Summer" yearly cocktail party. We were so luck to find them and look forward to having them back next year.

Amazing!!
We hired Eden Lane to play our outdoor cocktail hour. They added such class to the beginning of our reception! I personally did not get much of a chance to listen to them play, but I heard over and over again by guests that they were wonderful !! The band was so talented and kind-- I would recommend them to anyone! My only regret is not hiring them to play for longer :) THANK YOU!!

So easy to work with and they were perfect for our cocktail hour. I can't wait to see them play again!

Our experience was great from the start, when I was personally began corresponding with Stephanie about a reunion we were throwing for a group of WWII veterans and their families. I could tell right away that she was a class act and very sweet person. She informed me that she had a soft spot in her heart for veterans, since her grandfather was also a WWII veteran, so she was thrilled to be able to entertain us.

The event was a complete success and our group fell in love with the band. Not only were they top-notch performers (Stef has a voice of gold), but truly charming people. We even invited them to dine with us that evening, so were able to chat with them after the gig.

We asked to come back next year - that says it all!

They sounded so good and they were so pleasant to work with :)they were the band I picked for my vintage themed wedding and it just went perfectly together. Super thankful to you and your band. Thank you so so much !!!

We hired Eden Lane to perform at our 25th wedding anniversary party, and we are so pleased! They were were timely and professional. Their sound was exciting and all our guests raved about their music! Even the venue managers praised their performance.

Not only did they accommodate our requests, they even learned and performed a new song for us. We unreservedly recommend Eden Lane for your next event.

Fantastic music and energy, the perfect accompaniment to the evening, really kept the conversations lively and electricity in the air. Perfect.

I heard Stephanie Layton sing at Caffe Vivaldi in West Village for the first time last summer. I like listening to jazz for a limited amount of time because I enjoy classical music more than any other genre. But this was one of the rare occasions that I wanted to stay there all night and listen to Ms.Layton sing with her band.

Then when we needed jazz for a fundraiser theater production by an organization that works for ending violence against women and girls, she was the first person that came to our mind because once you hear her sing it’s really hard to get that warm and charming voice out of your mind. When she came to rehearsals she immediately charmed the whole cast and crew. The performances were even better, audience members couldn’t hold themselves and shouted asking for her name even though it was in all the program booklets and in all announcements.

I am a concert pianist who has played on stages from Lincoln Center to the big concert halls in Europe. I learned a thing or two about audiences and their expectations throughout my career for 15 years and I can assure you that when Ms. Layton starts singing your audience will be mesmerized and feel like time has stopped.

The other interesting aspect of working with Ms. Layton is her personality. One may think that a talent like this may be unpredictable and capricious but on the contrary she is surprisingly easy to work with. On the top of all these wonderful professional qualities, Ms. Layton also charms the audiences with her beautiful and graceful appearance. It was such a pleasant experience to meet Stephanie Layton and work with her.

We booked Eden Lane to play our wedding and it made the day absolutely perfect. All of our guests could not stop raving about them! First of all, I love jazz and I love live music. I had to find the perfect group to become the soundtrack of my wedding. Eden Lane exceeded all expectations. The lead singer has a voice like velvet, the band was on point, and the whole sound felt like I was being transported back in time. They worked with my husband and I to create our ideal set list, happily agreed to play our special request songs, and were incredibly organized. With all of the crazy details that go into planning a wedding, I never had to worry about the band because I knew they were on top of it. I truly could not be happier. THANK YOU, EDEN LANE!!!!!!

We hired Eden Lane for a private cocktail party we hosted for clients and they MADE the whole night. Stephanie Layton has a beautiful voice and the band's music selection was perfect. They played a lot of old classics as well as some new ones I hadn't heard before. (Now new favorites!) Their whole performance was really engaging - there were a couple of numbers that were cute and quirky and had everyone laughing. All around, they made for a super fun, charming and very classy evening.

Eden Lane sang for my father's cocktail/birthday party that I put together for him. He has a love for 30's/40's style jazz, and I knew that having Eden Lane at the party would be the perfect fit. They took my party from fun to WOW WOW WOW! The lead singer has that perfect gorgeous smooth tone reminiscent of all the jazz greats, and their song selection was just wonderful. A few of my favorites, and a few new ones that are now some of my NEW favorites! I couldn't have been more pleased. They are truly outstanding, and I hope to see them perform again soon.

What a great treat, listening to Eden Lane perform. These professionals know how to engage an audience and really sell a song. From fun and cute ditties, to American Song Book, to bluesy torch songs that could rip out your heart, they did it all perfectly and beautifully. Book them today, you won't be sorry.
