About J Forte Music

J Forte Music

Singer/songwriter, Julianne Williams and “The Box” player/back-up vocalist, Dennis Williams, began playing music together in 2013. In 2016, they launched out as J Forte. By 2017, their connection as friends and musicians blossomed into something really special…and by summer of that year the two were married. Today this dynamic duo performs some of the highest quality music entertainment in Arizona and beyond! Their acoustic pop sound is perfect for easy listening over dinner and drinks... as well as keeping the dance floor moving with upbeat hits from the 70's to today - truly a unique and entertaining experience for every occasion!

If you're for your live music to be the talk of all your guests, this J Forte is the band for you! The rhythmic vibe and variety of music styles that come from just two musicians is incredible. Add the saxophone and you're really in for a treat! Unlike an other duo you've experienced. Come out and see us live around the Valley and you'll see what we mean.

    J Forte Music (Julianne and Dennis) definitely surpassed my expectations with their professionalism, planning, attention to detail, musical artistry and overall warm and friendly personality. When I was looking for wedding entertainment, I envisioned the following: 1. TALENT and variety. We had a very diverse group of guests, ranging from country music lovers to gospel music lovers and so it was important that I enjoyed the music as well as my guests. We wanted musicians that could "read the room" and could adapt my favorite songs in a way that appealed to everyone. 2. Competitive rates. We weren't working with an unlimited budget; however, we still wanted top-notch entertainment. I can just say that what we paid was worth every penny and then some. 3. Professionalism and timeliness. J Forte Music scored a 10 out of 10 in this area. Since I opted not to utilize a wedding planner, I was very appreciative of J Forte Music making recommendations and bringing up key points that I might have otherwise overlooked. In addition to my top 3 must-haves, J Forte Music took the time to come all the way to our home in North Scottsdale to meet with me and my fiancé, Doug to discuss music selections, the overall vibe of the wedding, and just to get a feel for who we were as a couple. It meant so much to Doug and me that Dennis and Julianne took the time to really get to know us and to make sure they were clear on our vision for the wedding entertainment. Julianne and Dennis recommended our alternative wedding march song and it was the perfect song that filled our hearts with emotion. They also performed, at my request, one of my favorite songs. I asked that they "put their own spin on it". I was so PLEASED at their rendition of my favorite song. I wish I would have thought about it at the time, but it would have been great to have an entire wedding album of J Forte Music singing all of our wedding/reception songs. As the wedding date approached, Dennis and Julianne scheduled a Zoom call for us all to go over the wedding itinerary, the final song list, timing and the like. Every single thing that we went over during our meeting and discussions were executed to PERFECTION. J Forte Music arrived on time, they tested their equipment, they just took the extra care in making sure all went as planned. On the business side of things, quotes, invoices and payment instructions were very clear and easy to follow. As a CPA, I can say that I was impressed! If you're on the fence about who to hire for entertainment, or if you're just unsure about whether your guests will enjoy the entertainment, I would absolutely recommend J Forte Music without hesitation. My wedding guests were asking me throughout the reception, "where did you find the entertainment", "where can we go to listen to them"! Days following the wedding, my husband and I both were getting emails and messages from the guests about how much they enjoyed J Forte Music and they were asking for their social media and contact information. Many thanks again to J Forte Music for being instrumental in our perfect little wedding!

    "Julianne and Dennis are two of a kind! Not only are they beyond talented and a fan favorite of our clients, they are also super professional and easy to work with. Specifically, as a luxury wedding planner, I appreciate their prompt replies with email and phone communication, making it easy to organize a flawless event. I also love that they are completely self-sufficient with regards to setup and sound. I never have to worry that they will require something of my team the day of the event. Not to mention, they are always on time and dressed to impress! In all, I love that they are both just wonderful humans and their genuine spirit and love of music come out whenever they play. They are truly a joy - worth every penny. I can’t recommend them enough!" Jennifer Thye, Owner - Imoni Events A Martha Stewart Weddings, Top Wedding Planner
