Live music is an interactive art form. Weddings have a life of their own! And no two weddings are ever the same.

Old Hollywood weddings, retro vintage weddings, cross-cultural, multi-cultural and all manner of ethnic weddings are perfect for live wedding music played by a great live band that knows what to do, and when to do it.

Chinese, Korean, Jewish, Italian, Polish, Japanese, Irish, Scottish and Indian weddings.

Wonderful weddings…

At the end of the night, the best compliment we get is when your guests tell you “that was so you!”

The entire pulse of your wedding is in our hands. What we play, and when we play it…the way we make announcements, the homework we do in understanding who you are …these are all very important elements.

It’s no coincidence that many of our clients are in the entertainment business themselves!

Rat Pack to retro, big band to Motown, the Great American Songbook (and our own crazy re-mixes), it helps when you share your dreams with us and let us see who you are so we can play it back to you in the form of a handcrafted musical soundtrack for your one-of-a-kind wedding.

Of course, we also read minds. We have no idea how, we just do it. Years of experience, a fair amount of good taste …ok, a LOT of good taste…and an enormous repertoire of thousands of songs from every decade and genre of American popular music do give us a decided “edge” when it comes to transcending cultures and generations and taking a party into the stratosphere.

Letters, we get letters:

Dear Judy,

Without fail the biggest comment was “Wow…the music was great” Thank you for making the party so “right”. You knew just what to do all through the evening. Good thing because we had no idea BUT had the best time!

Hi Judy,

We have had so much terrific feedback about the wedding. Your role was incredible!
The ceremony was so real and romantic, thanks to the music. Ben’s stand-up bass accompanying your wonderful vocals was truly magical.

Then, you made the reception dinner/dance!

Thank you again for everything!!
G.W.

Hiring Judy and her band is quite honestly the best decision you can make for your wedding or special event. They are extremely talented, professional and elegant entertainers who know how to read a crowd and set the appropriate mood.

Judy’s musical knowledge is truly mind-blowing! Plus she is very sensitive to your needs. For example, when deciding what song I should walk down the aisle to, Judy didn’t just throw out names of songs, but instead talked to me about what it felt like to be in love with my now-husband. Based on my answers, she started singing a song to me over the phone that brought tears to my eyes and I knew that was the one!

In short, my dream wedding became MY wedding because of Judy!

Our event was simply MADE by Judy Chamberlain and the musical talent she brings.

Judy Chamberlain is far and away NOT merely a ‘wedding quality’ act. Her musicians are pros (and sometimes names) who are playing at your event because they like to play and meld seamlessly with Judy’s music, vocals, and arrangements.

We worked this lady hard. Several music approaches, some from other countries, and a mix of styles for the Opening, Ceremony, Dining, Dancing, and Reception. The kind of classy Jazz that makes you think people should be dressed up - but they were smiling no matter their attire, age, or background.

Judy was stunningly talented, refreshingly honest, and an amazing musical designer who listened to our needs, then met them all. We wanted the best music from the USA - - - and even some Ukranian tunes. Hey, they even played “Rubber Duckie” as part of an inside joke to the groom.

We had guests from 6 states and three countries at this event. Judy was enthusiastic, straightforward, and amazingly talented. I’m a business guy and Judy shot straight, went beyond what was asked, got people who are used to having people who watch them need to buy a ticket first. These performers were REALLY good. She designed different instrument combinations for the different needs of the room.

Right after my wife, Judy was the biggest reason the hours long extravaganza was the event that is still talked about at family gatherings.

I know nothing about music. I just know this lady did it right.
