Made Our Night!
The Big Night Quartet MADE our wedding! We hired them for the entire event: prelude, ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception and could not have been happier with their performance. They were so easy to work with the whole way through and were sincerely and genuinely happy to accommodate all that my fiancé and I requested -- from song choices to multiple set up locations. All of our guests commented on how great the music was (and still do), from start to finish. This band offers so much talent, not only in their performance, but in their ability to read a crowd and structure tempo, songs, and personality. Andy was also an amazing MC! I feel so lucky to have found them and honestly can not imagine our wedding without them. Thank you Big Night Quartet!!!

Outstanding & Excellent
The Big Night Quartet was the band for my daughter’s wedding in Austin. The band was outstanding. Everyone enjoyed them. The musicians were all excellent. Andy Boutot, band leader and singer, is accommodating and very friendly. It was a pleasure working with this group. Highly recommended.

Wonderful Experience
Big Night Quartet is a WONDERFUL experience! Not only are they a class act but the music and vibe they bring will put any event in a whole new bracket of entertainment! We had a 1920’s wedding and they were professionals and took us back to a roaring time! Andy & the band were awesome and we are still talking about how grateful we were to get them to play our wedding! I can’t say enough about how Big Night Quartet was fun, jazzy, classy, professional and TALENTED!! This band will not disappoint! Thank you, Big Night Quartet for making our wedding perfect!

Big night quartet did a phenomenal job performing at our wedding! Our guests loved hearing live music and their sound brought a great energy to our reception. These guys are true musicians! They were very easy to work with and provided us with guidance for song selection (which we needed). I would hire them again in a heartbeat!

Professional, Talented, Perfect
Andy, Chris, Ben and Steve were over the top fantastic! So professional, so talented, so perfect. Our wedding guests loved them and I highly recommend them for any and all weddings. Andy was a joy to work with prior to the wedding and first-class through out. What a great group.

Absolutely Recommend
Big Night Quartet was a great way to start our wedding night. They started playing as guests arrived, did the processional and recessional, played our first dance, and kept the party jumpin' through cocktail hour and dinner. Andy is really laid back and easy to work with, very professional and great at reading the crowd. They are affordably priced, especially given their musician-ship. I sincerely hope we have a reason to call on them again. Will definitely go see them at their around-town gigs. These guys are great - absolutely recommend!

Loved Their Vibe
We recently had Big Night Quartet perform at our wedding during dinner and they did not disappoint. We wanted a live band to play the classics and they were perfect. We had never seen them play live before the wedding, but they definitely exceeded my expectations. Andy was very helpful throughout the entire process. I told him the kind of vibe I was going for and he made it happen. He also helped us find a trumpet/saxophone player, which added a special touch to our first dance/father daughter dance. We had several people (young and old) tell us how much they enjoyed the band. We couldn’t be happier with our decision to have them play at our wedding. We will definitely consider them for any future event!

Everything and More!
Big Night Quartet was everything we expected and more! Andy was such a pleasure to work with and was so flexible with which songs we wanted up until the day before the wedding! Andy was very easy to chat with on the phone and a joy to plan our wedding with. We wanted to include some of our musically talented family into the ceremony and Andy welcomed them immediately. The band was a big decision for us because we didn't want a DJ or a big pop band; Big Night Quartet was the perfect choice and we loved their jazzy blues style. Andy's voice is truly impressive! Everyone we spoke with was thrilled and impressed by the band. I would recommend them every time! I wish we could relive all of their music :)

Danced All Night
Honestly, the best part of my wedding was seeing everyone's reaction to the band. We had a simple ceremony and reception for which they played both and entertained guests during the cocktail hour and from the first-minute people were telling me how much they loved the music. I'm disabled and we had such fun surprising everyone with a first dance with the band. They were playing to the very last minute and despite my hearing loss, I was able to dance along to the bass. I would hire them again in a heartbeat for their flexibility, professionalism, and kindness let alone their talent. Thanks for the memories!

Great Sound & Vibe!
What a great sound and vibe! We used Blue Channel for our cocktail hour. They sounded and looked great. Andy was super easy to work with throughout the process. I thought they were reasonably priced as well.

Great Affordable & Professional Band
Andy and his group were wonderful! We had actually seen them perform at our close friends wedding and knew we just had to have them at ours. They added an elegance to our cocktail hour/dinner that would have otherwise not been there. All of my guests loved listening to them! Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a classy band at a price you can't beat!

Phenomenal!! The Best in Austin
I can’t tell you how thrilled I am with Andrew and the band. We hired them for my son and daughter-in-law’s wedding and they delivered on their promise. This is a great band and I would gladly recommend them to anyone!!! I’m thankful to them for such a beautiful evening. Best in central Texas - you can’t go wrong with Big Night Quartet! ❤️ Loved them!

Great music, very easy to work with!
My finance and I did a destination wedding in Fredericksburg, TX and came across Big Night’s profile in our search for a band. Andrew was incredible easy to work with from afar. He answered all our questions and gave us a great playlist to look through for ideas. Our guests loved the live music and we couldn’t be happier! Thank you guys!

The Perfect Wedding!
Andy and his incredible band truly made my wedding reception a perfect, special, and beyond memorable occasion. One of my most vivid and favorite memories in the blur of a day is the band playing This Guy's In Love With You for my dad and me. Thank you so much for everything!

Incredible band - so many compliments!
We hired Big Night Quartet to play our wedding ceremony, cocktail hour and dinner. We knew we wanted live music for part of our special day, but didn't want to pay thousands of dollars for a mediocre cover band- enter Big Night Quartet! Our guests raved about how amazing they sounded, and they did the perfect job of setting the tone through dinner (when we had a DJ take over to play "party music"). The entire experience leading up to our big day was also amazing - Andy is SUPER responsive and incredibly helpful! They even learned two new songs to help make our day perfect.

Super Personable
When seeking out a band in Austin, I had a hard time finding one that had the same musical "classy" vision for my cocktail hour and reception as we did. When I came across Blue Channel Jazz and heard Andy's voice and his amazing band, I knew I had to book them.
Andy is super personable and will work with you on the sound that you want for your event. Everyone at the reception was thrilled to hear old standards and jazz favorites and they were amazed at how talented the band was.
I am so glad I booked BCJ!
