From the moment we got engaged, we knew we wanted Fog City Swing to be part of our wedding day. We had first seen them perform live at The Dawn Club in San Francisco the night before my husband proposed, so having them play our ceremony and cocktail hour felt incredibly meaningful - like a full-circle moment we'll always remember.
They are exceptionally talented musicians and consummate professionals, and they enhanced the vibe of our intimate micro wedding in exactly the way we hoped. They understood the tone we wanted to achieve and added warmth, joy, and energy to our event in the most effortless way.
They were also incredibly open and easygoing with playful requests during cocktail hour, which added so much personality to the day. In one of those moments, that energy naturally evolved into a spontaneous performance of "Going to the Chapel," which unexpectedly became our first dance. We hadn't planned to have a first dance at all given how small and intimate our wedding was, but it turned into one of the most meaningful and memorable moments of the entire celebration.
Beyond their talent, they're just genuinely warm, easygoing people who made everyone feel comfortable. It felt less like hiring a band and more like having friends who happen to be world-class musicians.
If you're considering them for a wedding or event, don't hesitate - and if you're in San Francisco, go see them live at The Dawn Club. read more
