Serving Orange County
Vintage Jazz & Swing for Orange County Events
Orange County knows how to throw an elegant event — coastal resort weddings, country club galas, and some of Southern California's most devoted swing-dance crowds. Ashley Anne & The Carnations are regulars south of the LA line, with past performances at The Charleston's speakeasy stage and summer evenings on the OC Fair's outdoor stages.
Whether it's a clifftop ceremony in Laguna, a ballroom reception in Newport Beach, or a corporate celebration in the Anaheim resort district, the band brings Old Hollywood polish with the easy, planner-friendly coordination that keeps an event flowing.

Local Knowledge
Playing Orange County's Rooms
Orange County events often live outdoors — coastal terraces, garden estates, fairgrounds, and courtyard receptions. We bring weather-appropriate staging, professional PA scaled for open air, and set lists that read beautifully against an ocean sunset.
Indoors, the county's ballrooms, clubs, and vintage lounges get the full Old Hollywood treatment — wardrobe, staging, and a curated flow from dinner elegance to dance-floor energy.
Past venue credits include Disney's Club 33, The Hollywood Roosevelt, Vibrato Grill Jazz, The Cicada Club, Spago Beverly Hills, Disneyland, and Carnegie Hall — with regular appearances aboard The Queen Mary in Long Beach.

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of events do you perform for?
Weddings, corporate events, galas and fundraisers, holiday parties, private celebrations, brand activations, and vintage-themed events across Southern California — from elegant cocktail hours to full featured performances. Tell us about your event and we'll recommend the right fit.
Do you perform for corporate events?
Absolutely. We regularly perform for holiday parties, client appreciation events, award dinners, and gala receptions. Corporate planners appreciate our clear communication, punctual setup, and polished presentation.
Can you provide different ensemble sizes?
Yes. From an intimate trio for cocktail hours and dinners to the full Carnations ensemble with horns for a featured performance, we'll recommend the configuration that suits your space, guest count, and atmosphere.
Do you bring your own sound equipment?
Yes — we bring a professional PA and microphones scaled to your venue, and we keep volume guest-friendly so conversation is always comfortable. If your venue has house sound, we're happy to coordinate with their team.
Can you play during cocktail hour or dinner?
That's one of the things we do best. Elegant background sets — think bossa nova, French café, and Old Hollywood standards — keep the room warm and conversational, then we can raise the energy when it's time to dance.
Can guests dance to the music?
Please do! Our swing, Rat Pack, and 1950s sets are built for dancing, and we read the room to keep the floor moving all night.
