rave reviews
“We’ve had Crescendo Amelia perform a few times, most recently for both a holiday event and a jazz brunch, and they were phenomenal at both. For the holiday event, they brought a festive, high-energy show that had everyone dancing along to the music. For the jazz brunch, they created the perfect atmosphere. The volume was perfect for the event, and the musicians were responsive and checked in frequently to make sure everything was flawless. Dennis is fantastic and always helps us deliver exactly what we are looking for to elevate our events. We can’t wait to have them back again."
- Amber W., Client & Activities Director
"You really can't find better musicians than Crescendo Amelia. Whether it's classic jazz or the latest pop hits, they're bound to energize the room and get people up and moving.
If you're looking for a top-notch band in Northeast Florida, look no further."
- Johnathan H., Professional Dancer
"My friend hired this band for her wedding and they were awesome! I know the care she took to find the right band and Crescendo nailed it by bringing the right energy and mix of songs. They got EVERYONE out on the floor dancing but also kept my friend and her husband as the center of the night. I’d love to go to another wedding where they’re playing."
- Katie S., Maid of Honor
"I've been to several of Crescendo Amelia's shows and they're fantastic. Their 14-piece band is especially incredible, with a big horn section that sounds absolutely amazing. You won't regret it. They have two wonderful singers and a very wide range of music styles. Highly, highly recommend."
- Nancy W., Event Planner
"Crescendo was so much fun & were so great to work with! My partner & I didn’t have to worry about a thing and I loved their music selections! They even learned my favorite version of “Unforgettable” for our dance! Highly recommend!"
- Cassie B., Client & Bride
"Pros all the way. Everything from start to finish was smooth and they were a pleasure to work with. Not to mention the music they played was great and perfect for our special day."
