Old Hollywood Retro-Glam! Los Angeles Wedding Bands, Jazz & Swing Bands and Wedding Musicians

Fabulous live music for vintage-themed California destination beach, resort and winery weddings and events!

Not your typical Los Angeles wedding band…or wedding singer!

Haute California’s entertainment resource of choice for more than two decades, renowned jazz singer Judy Chamberlain’s unique live music boutique provides extraordinary bands, musicians and an all-star jazz orchestra for one-of-a-kind beach, resort, winery and destination weddings, concerts and events in Los Angeles, Orange County, Palm Springs, Ventura, Santa Barbara, Temecula, San Diego and beyond.

Our jazz bands, swing bands, big bands, wedding bands and musicians know thousands of songs from every decade and genre of American populae music.

Everything we do is “bespoke,” customized to give you exactly what we know you want: the most exciting, meaningful and memorable wedding or event anyone you know has ever attended.

Live Music for WOW Factor Weddings!

We are known for our spontaneity and an enormous repertoire of 1920’s Jazz Age Roaring Twenties, 1930’s deco, Old Hollywood, the 1930’s and 1940’s Swing Era, 1950’s Mid-Century Moderne and Sinatra Rat Pack, doo-wop, rock & roll oldies, 1960’s pop, the Beatles and the British Invasion, 1970’s R&B, Motown, soul, funk and disco dance music as well as snippets of classic country and anything that was ever heard in an Audrey Hepburn, Fred Astaire & Ginger Rogers, cinema noir or James Bond movie.

The best of the 1920’s, 1930’s, 1940’s, 1950’s, 1960’s & 1970’s are infused with a delightful freshness as we mix it up, change the tempos — and sometimes even play the tunes exactly the way you remember hearing them on the records. We know when to do what, and what not to do when.

From classical or unusual wedding ceremony music to vintage jazz, pop, ballroom and swing, Old Hollywood, R&B, Latin, Motown, soul, funk and disco for dancing, we really DO do it all — sometimes in the same set!

We navigate venues well, travel efficiently and use excellent sound equipment that gives us the presence we need without being L-O-U-D. Our music transcends cultures and generations. You can dance to everything we play…or not. And no, we’re not a cover band.

We are invaluable in the planning stages of a wedding or event, utilizing our skill and knowledge to orchestrate a handcrafted live “soundtrack” for your ceremony and reception, not a cookie-cutter template of somebody else’s. We have a big bag of tricks, which we use to thrill and delight you and your guests.

Organic, handcrafted, totally live and in-the-moment, we’re as comfortable putting on an impromptu concert for your guests as we are playing dance music. We’ll help you create a custom song list or just read your mind — and the crowd.

In our hands, a bridal processional, first dance or parent dance becomes a smoothly-staged Hollywood extravaganza.

los angeles wedding singers

And that’s just the beginning!

We’re as elegant and unusual as you are!

We draw inspiration from the diverse hits of artists like Louis Armstrong, Billie Holiday, The Mills Brothers, The Ink Spots, the Boswell Sisters, Mabel Mercer, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Peggy Lee, Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughan, Tony Bennett, Glenn Miller, Artie Shaw, Benny Goodman, Tommy Dorsey, Nat King Cole, The Platters, Bobby Darin, Patsy Cline, Willie Nelson, Chuck Berry, Jerry Lee Lewis, Elvis Presley, Paul Anka, Joni Mitchell, Blossom Dearie, Gladys Knight, Aretha Franklin and many more.

If Fats Waller, Duke Ellington, Irving Berlin, Cole Porter, Rogers & Hart, Oscar Hammerstein, George & Ira Gershwin, Johnny Mercer, Harold Arlen or Hoagy Carmichael wrote it, we probably play it.

We also adore anything associated with Fred Astaire & Ginger Rogers, Gene Kelly and Audrey Hepburn movies, and play all of that music, too! ALL of it.

Bands like ours really don’t exist anymore — except perhaps in the movies!

Expect the unexpected!

We’re hard to define, and are prepared to switch gears in an instant. When people are dancing, we play continuous music, segueing from one song to the next seamlessly without missing a beat, or even pausing to start another song. DJ’s think they invented that trick, and it’s something that not many bands can do. We are experts at “reading” a crowd. Because we know thousands of tunes we don’t have to slow down to turn pages in a book.

An A-List wedding vendor, we are referred by dozens of exclusive Los Angeles, Beverly Hills, Santa Monica, Malibu, Hollywood, Pasadena, Palm Springs, Orange County, Newport Beach, Newport Coast, Laguna Beach, Dana Point, Inland Empire, La Jolla, San Diego, Temecula, Thousand Oaks, Woodland Hills, Westlake Village, Santa Barbara, Camarillo, Pismo Beach, Paso Robles, Santa Ynez and Central Coast wedding planners and coordinators, private estates, country clubs, beach and golf properties, hotels, resorts and wineries and know our way around hundreds more.

Long distance planning for destination weddings is a specialty, and we often get the “first call,” before our brides and grooms have even confirmed their venue! We work all over California and are always happy to travel throughout the USA wherever our sophisticated clients’ events call for the best music in the world.

You’ve seen and heard many of our musicians on TV shows, movie soundtracks and your favorite albums for years. They have played and recorded with Frank Sinatra, Ray Charles, Tony Bennett, Chet Baker, The Flamingos, Little Anthony & The Imperials, The Temptations, The Commodores, The Supremes, James Brown, Gladys Knight, Gloria Gaynor, Aretha Franklin, Donna Summer, Marvin Gaye, The Isley Brothers, Tito Puente, Herbie Hancock, Paul McCartney, Joe Cocker, Beck, Justin Timberlake, Bette Midler, Diana Krall, Natalie Cole, Luis Miguel and Michael Buble, to name just a few.

Guests at weddings and corporate events often tell us they thought they were listening to a CD until they made their way through the ballroom, looked up at the stage and realized it was a live band.

“Judy Chamberlain is an incredible jazz singer, and I say that as someone who hates jazz utterly and completely.” Rebecca Schoenkopf, OC Weekly

Music historian, singer and bandleader Judy Chamberlain has been featured on E! Entertainment, The Style Network and ABC’s “The Bachelor,” performed in the 2007 Playboy Jazz Festival and has been named “one of the top 500 jazz singers of all time” by author Scott Yanow.

A professional restaurant critic, society and lifestyle columnist, travel writer and wedding industry expert, Chamberlain is a member of the Southern California Restaurant Writers Association, Meeting Professionals International and the Association of Bridal Consultants.

“You’re just like the ‘Old Man,’ cookie.” Al Viola

The late guitarist Al Viola, a longtime Chamberlain bandmate and musical collaborator who toured and recorded with Frank Sinatra from 1955 to 1983 and worked with Judy regularly often compared her to Sinatra.

”Judy takes care of business and sings the hell out of a tune, the way he did,” said Viola.

“She can come out of nowhere and take the pickup, and the band is instantly with her because she gives great signals.”

“Her repertoire is enormous, and she’s full of surprises, which is fun for the band and fun for the audience. I love working with her, because I’m never bored. It’s like a union test every night. She hears every note, just like Sinatra did. You have to be the best in the business to work at her level. You have to know what you’re doing!”

professional wedding entertainmentHiring your band was the best money we spent on our wedding!

We are a full service live music boutique. We’ll help you with your song list and create a timeline for your event, or work with one provided by your wedding coordinator or event planner. It is our pleasure to make staging recommendations and review your floor plan, room plan and seating charts. We’re team players who M/C eloquently and make sure that all hands are on deck whenever any big moment is about to be announced or musically annotated. It’s no coincidence that many of our clients are in the entertainment business!

Long distance and destination wedding planning are a specialty, as are multi-cultural ethnic and themed weddings and events. We often get the “first call,” before the date has been chosen or the venue booked!

Referrals from our private list of cutting edge list of wedding photographers, videographers, wedding cake and wedding dress designers are available.

We work interactively with our clients, encourage communication, and are always delighted to hear your ideas. The more we know about you and your goals, the better job we can do for you.

It is an honor and privilege to be there for you every step of the way as your vision becomes a reality.
