I book a lot of bands for many different crowds and events and Gin Fizz was hands down one of the best jewels I've found. Our event was a California style wine tasting and has always been a little "stuffy". Anthony and crew definitely livened things up. In 12 years I've never seen people dancing, until now! I would give these guys 10 stars if I could. Our members can't wait for another performance! Don't hesitate, book these guys now.

They were amazing! Played my wife's 40th birthday party and were easy to work with (and professional) leading up to the event, and flawless for the event itself. The dance floor was packed and everyone was having a ton of fun right through to the last song. We didn't want it to end!

We booked Gin Fizz for a Gatsby themed party and they couldn't have been more wonderful. The band is an absolute pleasure to work with, from the first conversation to the end of the event. Throughout the process, communication was always open. They are very accommodating and willing to work with clients' schedules and visions for the event. The band created their set lists based on the structure of the evening and sounded fantastic. They worked with us to play not only jazz/1920s era music, but also included some classic hits for the end of our evening. They also learned a song request for our event. Everyone in attendance was so impressed and continues to sing their praises. I cannot recommend Gin Fizz more. Book them, you will not be disappointed!!

Gin Fizz played our wedding back in June, 2017 with a 4 piece band. Bridget and the group did a fantastic job keeping the guests entertained, assisting with announcements, and providing a welcoming environment to dance. In addition, the band put a personal touch on the night by playing a requested song for our first dance. I suspect the level of professionalism and charm exhibited by the band is unparalleled. My wife and I received numerous complements throughout the night and would therefore openly recommend Gin Fizz for any occasion! - Brandon

Brandon and Nancy, thanks so much for the kind words! It was a joy playing your beautiful wedding!
Gin Fizz was simply spectacular! Bridget was so amazing to work with and everything went so smoothly! It was just amazing! Our first dance was a particular request and they performed it so well! Honestly I can't say enough amazing things about them. Our guests were on the dance floor all night!

Thanks so much for your kind words, Bridgette! Your wedding was gorgeous! Every detail was perfect and your guest were a blast! Thanks for including us.
We invited Gin Fizz to appear as part of our Nite Spot Nights performance series. What a great show! Bridget and the band are a top notch act. They played a wonderful 90-minute set of standard tunes spanning the 20's to the 60's--all songs with which the audiences were familiar. Their banter was fun and the evening was a big success. In addition, communication prior to the event was perfect and their arrival and set up was a breeze. I highly recommend Gin Fizz!

Thanks so much, Bert! What a great audience! We absolutely loved performing at your theatre.
From the first contact to the last number they played, we could not have been more pleased with Gin Fizz. They are the kind of fine musicians that make you think "What are they doing playing weddings?"--they know the world of jazz, swing, and standards so well that you'll feel the comforting familiarity of songs you love played supremely well, and marvel at the same time at the unique, stylish spin they give many numbers. They were accommodating when it came to a somewhat limited budget we had, and Ms. Crawford was patient and good-humored when it came to dealing with specifics we asked them to cover. Our guests--many of whom have been professional musicians themselves--were, to a person, impressed (often ecstatically so) by the music. We feel so fortunate to look back fondly on so many things about that day, but the music is very near the top of that list. We can't recommend them highly enough--it will be your great fortune if they happen to be available for your big day.

Thank you so much for the kind words. Your wedding was absolutely beautiful and your guests lovely! Some of the best wedding speeches and the most gracious and accommodating bride and groom.
Bridget and friends traveled to Philadelphia to play our wedding ceremony and reception in the Wissahickon Valley (a ~2-hour trip from NYC). Their live music set a classic moody in the wooded valley and all of our guests complimented their sound, expertise, and range--which included 2 and 3-piece instrumentals, full-band music, and solo singing by Bridget herself. They were even kind enough to learn a new song for our wedding dance. Overall, we're truly appreciative of their talents and feel as though our best money was spent on their services.

Thanks so much, Eugene! Your wedding was beautiful -- what a setting! Thanks so much for letting us be a part of it.
This group was fantastic. First off, they played out entire wedding! They were easy to reach, responded quickly, extremely adaptable and wonderfully professional. Out of the entire wedding, this was the only part of the wedding I felt confident in.
Bridget worked with us to help us pick modern songs to fit into the 1920s theme we had chosen. She called us to help get some ideas and fill out the finer details. She then took steps herself to work with the venue to ensure they had everything that was needed for their performance.
The value for the product they provided was amazing. I shopped around and received quotes that were completely unreasonable, but Bridget worked with us to ensure she matched out budget.
I can't recommend this group enough. The talent, artistic knowledge and charisma they brought to our wedding will forever be remember by myself, my wife and everyone in attendance.

Thanks so much Justin! Your wedding was amazing! Thanks so much for including us in the big day!
Gin Fizz performed at our Berlin Karbarett Abend which was held this past November. They were so awesome that everyone is still talking about that night. Our German club usually features German bands but wanted to go with something a little different. We wanted music from the late 20's and 30's and they were spot on. They were very professional to work with and very accomodating. The musicans were great and Bridget's voice was out of this world. Hoping to get them back for a 40's swing night in the spring. You won't regret having this band perform at your event. 5 stars all the way. I can't speak more highly of them!!!

Thanks, Eric! We had a great time playing at the Club - what a great venue!
Gln Flizz was simply wonderful to work with. We worked with them on our NYE event and they made everyone's night just so much better. They were very flexible with our requests, on time, very professional, talented and very delightful. Also they sounded just perfect! We were extremely impressed with how smooth everything went all night, it made our restaurant look so much better on a very very busy night. It was as if they knew our restaurant very well and performed here many times before. We look forward to working with them in many more events.

About
The elegant and sophisticated charm of Gin Fizz is ideal for weddings, parties, galas, fundraisers, swing dances, hotels, cocktail lounges or any private event. Led by songstress Bridget Crawford, the band is comprised of experienced and versatile musicians on upright bass, guitar, drums, and horns who have played, literally, thousands of performances throughout the United States and abroad. Performing in either period attire from the 20s-50s (a vintage microphone completes the look), or sophisticated, contemporary black-tie (or anything in between), Gin Fizz will work with you to create the style and ambiance perfect for your event. But it's the music that will truly delight. A pared down ensemble is ideal for smaller events and intimate cocktail receptions, or hire the full band for a swingin' good time.
