Recommend:Fantastic Band!!!.

We hired Julie and her band for our wedding reception and they were really amazing. Everyone commented on how great the music sounded and how lovely her singing voice was. Our wedding wouldn't have been the same had we gone with someone different.

Prior to the wedding, Julie was very responsive and professional. She answered every question we had in great detail so that we felt comfortable with what we were purchasing. She also accommodated special song requests for us and played them beautifully.

I would highly recommend Julie and her band to anyone in the future.

Recommend:Perfect, Absolutely Perfect!

We hired Julie McGregor and her Kensie Jazz Band to play cocktail 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!

Recommend:Perfection! All my guests said the band was the best part!

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 :).

Recommend:Amazing Jazz Wedding Band

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.

I hired the band 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! They were easy and quick to communicate with beforehand, were on time, professional, and best of all, a wonderful group of incredibly talented musicians, with Julie's rich, sultry, seamless vocals setting the perfect tone for the evening. Our guests loved them! I would certainly hire the Kensie Jazz Ensemble for future events, and highly recommend this group!

Recommend:Absolutely Amazing! Classy, Professional and Trendy!

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. Her 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! Sonia K. -.

Recommend:They engaged with the audience & had us laughing. Absolutely Wonderful Jazz Band!

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!

Recommend:Created Romantic and Luxurious Ambiance!

What can I say to truly capture what Julie, Ross and (Juno Award Winner) Bernie, added to my Mom's 60th Birthday Party? At noon the same day Julie was pleased to offer her talent to this very special event. This band is talented beyond their years & alone they created a romantic, luxurious ambiance to our private,rooftop event overlooking the lake &city. Professional, on time, beautiful, & kind, this band was the best gift I could have given to my Mom& her guests. They fit-in perfectly; both wait- staff & guests requested their info for future events. This is the band you want performing; you'll be raved about for days. Impressed & SO grateful for our new fav trio!TY
