The Kensie Jazz and Dance Band

Julie and the Kenzie Jazz Band were fantastic - I booked them for a corporate event and they helped set the tone for the type of event we planned. It was an elegant affair in the lobby of a building and their music and overall vibe was exactly what we wanted. They'd be an excellent addition to any gathering or party, big or small. Julie was flexible and easygoing leading up to and on the day of the event with last-minute changes which is always appreciated. Everyone in the band seemed playful and fun, too which was nice to see. I'd love to work with them again for a future event. Thank you, again!

Made our event even more special. Thank you. Super user friendly and reliable as well.

Secured The Kensie Jazz Band for our 30th Anniversary corporate event. From start to finish they were perfect. Perfect background music while guests are engaging in the social circuit. Perfect background music while being seated and served for dinner. The band can adjust their sound level to your preference. They play a range of music. A live band is a classy touch and adds ambience to any event rather than a standard DJ. It is a completely different vibe. Nice group of people! Good pricing as well. Thank you!

The Kensie Jazz and Dance Band played at my engagement part earlier this weekend are were fantastic! They were a great addition to the party and so happy they were able to play for us.

Julie is great with getting back quickly and being so flexible in accommodating requests.
I'd recommend her any day.

We booked the Kensie Jazz Band this past November for 4 Holiday Parties and we had a remarkable experience working with them. Each of the band members was timely, professional, and talented. All of our attendees enjoyed the live performance. I can’t wait to book them for our next event.

Julie was so easy to communicate with and responded to me right away! The band added such a great feel to the party and everybody loved them! Matt even learned a special song for us last minute and I really appreciate that! Thank you!

Our employee Christmas event was an absolute hit thanks to The Kensie Jazz Band! Julie was so easy to work with, very organized and accommodated our needs without hesitation. Scott, Joel, Rob and Keiran (our quartet) were beyond brilliant musicians and I had so much positive feedback from the attendees. They kept the venue lively and worked with our schedule. Book them...you will not be disappointed!!

My guests loved this jazz band. The guys and Julie are super talented and reasonably priced. They really went above and beyond and were super flexible as well. I’d 100% hire them again for my next big event after having them play at my wedding!

The band provided music at the cocktail reception and dinner for our wedding and were absolutely incredible. They played both outside and inside and really set the tone for the evening. We really recommend them for any event!

The Kensie Jazz band was nothing shy of amazing for our Sunday Brunch Wedding. They were easy to work with and were really flexible with set lists and song requests. People are still talking about how great they were a week later. Cannot recommend more.

It was the perfect vibe for our wedding. Guests loved it and it just made our wedding super special!

I am a wedding planner and I worked a wedding with The Kenzie Band today and they were fantastic! Super easy to work with and amazing sound!

My clients hired a 3 piece band; piano, bass and saxophone. All 3 gentlemen playing were very nice, easy going and the guests loved the music!

Would definitely recommend to future my clients :)

We love this band, not only were they very sweet, they were very talented. Our guest loved them and to have asked for the band info so they can use them for an event. Highly recommend this group.

Professional and exquisite sound!
Great job!

The musician was superbly talented - great musician and vocalist. Highly recommended!!!

What can I say? These guys were awesome! They showed up on time and worked with me to get set up quickly and easily. They started on time and played beautifully throughout or cocktail hour and buffet dinner. We got so many compliments. I would highly recommend. We had our wedding in a family members backyard and the next day we were approached by several of the neighbors they told us they had dinner on their patios so they could listen to the music. Amazing!

Saved the day on short notice providing a keyboard player / singer for a surprise outdoor concert for our parents who lived in Burlington. Due to Covid, we haven’t seen them in 7 months, so it was a great treat for their Friday afternoon. Rob was amazing.

The Kensie Jazz and Dance Band was very professional, prompt, and personable. They helped to create a beautiful ambiance throughout the evening. Their diversity of music was enjoyed by all ages...jazz, oldies (including polkas and waltzes), pop, and classical. They more than lived up to our expectations and we highly recommend them.

I would certainly recommend the Kensie Jazz and Dance band for an event. We used them for an intimate corporate cocktail reception and only had the piano and bass and it was beautiful. The music was great and the band was professional in appearance and behavior. The cost was phenomenal as well, I certainly look forward to using them in the future.

I hired The Kensie Jazz and Dance Band for a Holiday work Party. All the guys came way before the scheduled time, which I loved. The music was great and they were all very professional and kind people. I would highly recommend. I am a very organized person and this band is as well. A pleasure to deal with. Very happy, thank you.

We had the Kensie Jazz Band play the reception, and they also provided a piano player for the ceremony. The music was a big hit and everyone loved it. The musicians were very flexible and were able to perform one of my own compositions flawlessly.

Additionally, communication with the band prior to the event was good. It was very clear what they needed and responses were very timely. I would highly recommend them.

My experience was brillant! I found the Kenzie band through Gigmasters online. I had no previous experience working with or hiring a band in my life.
Julie, the bands manager and lead singer made the process easy and seamless. Not only was she a pleasure to work with, but she kept her poise while as I navigated all the ins and outs and details for the event venue. When it came time for song and musician choices. I left it all up to her. She couldn’t have done a better job. :) We are all thrilled with the way the party turned out. The jazz band brought just the right touch of elegance and sophistication we were looking for.

Regarding the bands talent. We were blown away Julie’s voice and the rest of the bands talent. She is an excellent singer and the rest of the musicians were 10/10 as well. I will definitely be working with Julie again and highly recomend the Kenzie band for any of your party entertainment needs. Thanks, again to Julie and the Kenzie Band as they made my engagement extra special.

The Kenzie Jazz Band is absolutely fantastic!!! Julie has a smooth, beautiful jazzy voice, and her band members are top notch musicians. Great variety of songs. I highly recommend them for engagements, weddings, or milestone birthdays!!!

We truly enjoyed having The Kensie Jazz Band at our event. The musicians were excellent and created terrific atmosphere!

The Kensie band was phenomenal for our wedding! A must have at any wedding to create an elegant affair!

The Kensie Jazz band added the perfect mood, sound and energy to our Christmas luncheon. They played a great mix of fun, popular Christmas Songs. The sax and Julie's voice were both amazing.The whole band was outstanding and really made our holiday party a warm and memorable event.
They showed up on time, Julie was responsive and made it easy for us. We were happy with the selection of Christmas music and we would love to have them back next year. They were that good! This is the band you want. I highly recommend them, you won't be disappointed.

The Kenzie jazz band exceeded my expectations , from our initial contact where Julie was prompt, responsive, and answered all my questions to the day of the event where they were prepared, on time and ready to perform

They’re performance was just what we were looking for, for our Gatsby themed party, they provided the perfect ambiance without taking away from all that was going on at any point in time. All our guests were amazed, and the evening was beautiful thanks to the jazz band!

Thank you!!!

I booked The Kensie Jazz Band to play at my wedding for cocktail hour, first dance, as well as throughout dinner at the reception. The Band had set up and was ready to go for cocktail hour performances, and performed every song to perfection during the entire evening. Julie has a very sultry and rich voice - she and the Band added such elegance and ambience to the evening! My husband and I received many compliments about The Kensie Jazz Band from our guest throughout the night - booking them was easily one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. Throughout the entire wedding planning process, Julie was very responsive and eased my worries about the big day. I definitely recommend The Kensie Jazz Band for your next event, they are phenomenal!

The Band provided great entertainment playing our wedding reception. Our guests loved it!

We hired Julie McGregor and her Kensie Jazz Band to play background and dance music at our 400-person reception at the Four Seasons Hotel. They played and sang an ideal music set for the crowd at hand, and were both flexible and competent when it came to working around speeches and a staged dance number. Everyone who commented thought the music was "Perfect - absolutely perfect!" We will definitely come looking for Julie the next time we need a good swing or jazz band!

If you find this review look no further, this is the best band you need for your event.
I had the pleasure to be entertained by Jule and the Kensie Band at my son wedding.
Memorable experience!

The Kensie Jazz Band played my parents' 50th wedding anniversary and they were terrific. The musicians were friendly and professional and played all the songs and genres we requested. I wouldn't hesitate to book them again for our next event.

The Kensie Jazz Band or Ensemble was a wonderful addition to our event. They provided background music for our event and were enjoyed by all that attended. They are very good professional musicians and we would certainly invite them to play for any future event that we have.

I hired Julie and the rest of the Kensie Band to play at my wedding reception, which was on the Terrace of Malaparte (TIFF building) and they were by far the highlight. Not only was Julie really responsive during the initial booking and also, along the way figuring out technical requirements, but she was always very friendly and a delight to speak to. The day of they were there on time and looked super sharp. I didn't get to enjoy them for most of the evening because of all the running around I had to do but when I asked all my guests how they enjoyed the evening, every dingle one of them said the Jazz band was by far the best and truly set the mood within the city scape. Book them! You won't regret it :)

I hired Julie and the Kensie Jazz band for my wedding that just passed on May 20th 2017. they were incredible! I had them located out in the foyer where guest entered. it brought class and sophistication to the wedding. guests were enjoying the performance while in the receiving line and I received a lot of great feedback from guests at the end of the night. I would highly r commend them. I know I searched a lot of bands when looking and what sold me on Julie and the Kensie band was the audio you can listen to online. Julie also was amazing with communication! Any question or email she would respond back to me within the hour.

The band that was organized for us together was fantastic; I am super honored to have such wonderful music played at our intimate wedding ceremony and for our guests. All my guests enjoyed the music and once again, thank you so much!

Fortunately, the band was able to play "I'm Yours" by Jason Mraz and they had greatly accompanied us.

Thank you for organizing our night and making it a memorable one.

We had the Kensie Jazz Band come again to perform for our Jazz Night and we were thrilled! They are a great bunch of musicians who are engaging and lively. The music they played filled the room and made our event a night to remember!

The University of Guelph Faculty Association hosted a Jazz Night where the Kensie Jazz Band performed. The band was lively and upbeat. They engaged with the audience and had us laughing.

It was a joy having the band perform and they played a wide variety of Jazz songs. In fact, we enjoyed them so much that we have hired them again to perform at our Jazz Night this year. I highly recommend hiring Julie McGregor and the Kensie Jazz band for your event!

My only comment: contact Julie directly to book the band instead of going through gigsalad as this website uses USD instead of CDN currency, which was not indicated (which impacts any Canadians hiring the band).

Julie was the perfect fit for our Sunday morning 50th birthday party. Her choice of music, her presence and her outstanding voice combined to make it a memorable morning. Her accompanying pianist was superb as well. We would highly recommend Julie and would definitely hire her again !!

I hired the Kensie Jazz Ensemble to play for our store opening party. With the intention of this celebration to create an elegant, yet fun atmosphere -they could not have been more perfect for this event! They were easy and quick to communicate with beforehand, were on time, professional, and best of all, a wonderful group of incredibly talented musicians. I would certainly hire them for future events, and highly recommend this group!

We booked Julie to perform at our restaurant and were more than pleased, as were our guests.
The musicians arrived on time, sounded great and were fantastic with out guests.

Recommended!

My husband and I booked Julie McGregor and the Kensie Band to play at our wedding reception. We were very impressed at the musicianship and professionalism they demonstrated. The band was unobtrusive during setup and was very responsive to requests. They also provided special lighting throughout the evening, which was a delightful surprise. We received many compliments from the guests on the band's performance. We were thrilled with the Kensie Band and we highly recommend them.

Julie and her band were absolutely amazing! They were on time, organized and dressed appropriately. I had hired them for a corporate gala event at a very upscale convention center. The ambiance of the night was classy, professional and trendy. Kenzie Jazz Band was the perfect addition to this event adding beautiful jazz music that was ideal for cocktail hour. Throughout the process, Julie was very quick to respond and attentive to any needs required by myself and the committee. I would highly recommend them to anyone for future events!

We used the Kensie Jazz Band for our recent party. The band was amazing and included top Toronto jazz musicians. Julie's warm personality and beautiful voice made everyone feel welcome and included. They helped to make our evening something special that everyone will always remember.

I give the Kensie Jazz Band my highest recommendation.

Had the pleasure of The Kensie Jazz Band for our companies Christmas luncheon. They were amazing. Very professional and the music they provide is fantastic.

The Kensie Jazz band were amazing people to work with! They were outstanding performers and the crowd loved them! Our clients and our agency was happy doing business them! They were cooperative and pleasant people. You'd be lucky to work with an outstanding team like this!

I hired The Kenzie Jazz Band for my Christmas Party this Christmas. They were fabulous. Piano, Bass drums & Julie's Smooth and Sultry voice was had the crowed dancing the night away. They had a great mix of songs. I would definitely hire them again!

Julie and her band were simply amazing! I have no words to describe the wonderful performance they gave. Our guests were delighted, and most important - my wife (birthday girl) was on cloud #9. Every aspect of working with Julie was flawless, and when it came to the performance itself, she was fantastic. Beautiful voice, great selection of songs, fantastic delivery - THANK YOU JULIE & BAND! I would strongly recommend the Kensie Jazz Band and I am certain you will not be disappointed.
