About Yazz Events

Yazz Events was established in 2010 by vocalist and bandleader, Amy Yassinger. With her undergraduate degree in Jazz Performance from the University of Miami and an M.M. from Western Michigan University, Amy has used her education to surround herself with the most talented instrumentalists and vocalists in the Midwest. Her album, “Sometimes I’m Happy” is currently distributed on Warrior Records and has earned a ton of praise since it was released in 2011. Back in 2009, Amy led her first band called Amy and the Yazz Men, playing in cafes and clubs around the Chicago area. After numerous requests came in for Amy’s band for events, her small band Amy and the Yazz Men blossomed into Yazz Jazz Entertainment and then Yazz Events. It was at a wedding where she connected with a DJ and learned how crowds interact at weddings and what they are looking for musically that she decided she wanted to pursue creating music for weddings. Because over 65% of clients request a DJ, Amy hired several

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. Can you play music other than Jazz?
    2. Yes! While we can play Jazz very well, we play all styles of music. Yazz Jazz is a play-on of my last name, "Yassinger". We cover Pop, Motown, Disco, Country, Jewish, Jazz, Big Band, Swing, Salsa, Polka and more!
  2. What if we want a DJ and live music?
    3. Yes! We have countless options available. Depending on your vision, you can have live music during dinner and the DJ can take over from there. Or you can have the band start your party and have the DJ take over.
  3. Can we see the live band before we book?
    4. We can arrange for a showcase for you to view the band if you do not feel the videos are enough. Every person you see on our videos is a member of our team and will be at your event. We are not a corporate umbrella. This is my company and I have a great team.
