Best Chicago Wedding Band!

by AbbyMuratore

We had our wedding this past Saturday. We hired David Rothstein for the reception music. He was unbelievable. We had such a blast! The band was amazing! Honestly, EVERYONE was dancing. He had asked me prior to the wedding what types of music I wanted, and I gave him a few ideas, but I told him I trusted him, and I wanted him to decide what was best. He exceeded my expectatons. I had people coming up to me all night telling me it was the best wedding they had ever been to. My wedding is going to be talked about for a long time to come, and I know it's because of the band. Thank you so much, David, for living up to your promise, and giving me a top-notch, outstanding, out of this world reception! I will never forget it!!!

• Pros: Energetic, talented, classy
• Cons: NONE!!!!

A pleasure to work with

by pizzapoet

My husband Scott and I got married on October 16, 2009, in Geneva, Illinois, and we are sooo glad we hired David to help us on our special day. He was the ultimate professional, maintaining regular contact with us during the months and weeks before the wedding, and helping us plan the ceremony and reception afterwards. People loved the four-string quartet during the ceremony and the three-piece jazz band during dinner. The seven-piece band was also exceptional. My husband and I finally watched a video of our wedding tonight, and it was great to see that our friends and family enjoyed the music so much and danced the night away. You were all great to work with, and you helped make the night something we and our loved ones will always remember. THANK YOU : )

Worth the Money!

by GreatWedding

David Rothstein Band played for our wedding on 10/02/09. My husband was very unsure about getting a band vs a DJ, he was not convinced that it was worth the cost. But , after meeting with David and seeing that it wasn't just about the music its about the whole flow of the wedding we decided to go with the band. We could not have been happier!!! We went with the full horns section and had Lou sing for us over dinner. THE HORNS ARE A MUST!!!! We didn't have to worry about a thing the whole night. The band is very professional and has their act together. Well Done.

Fabulous band!

by Beth Crawford

David Rothstein and his band played at my brother's wedding a few weeks ago, and they did an amazing job! The music was fun and I couldn't believe how much energy the band-members had, they kept playing for hours! Everyone at the wedding was having a blast, and there was dancing for hours, which I think was largely due to the wonderful entertainment. They even played the Beatles song "Hey Jude" for my nephew Jude = )

Thanks for a great night and a fun time!

Amazing and Energetic Band!

by Rebecca Roller Daisley

We used David Rothstein Music for our wedding and could not have been happier with the night! They did an amazing job of getting EVERYONE on the dance floor all night long... They did a great job learning about us and listened to what we'd want to hear... It was like our own personal upbeat concert! They did a great job with the Klezmer portion of the night, getting all of the older guests involved, and they did an amazing job with the mainstream music.

My husband is from New Zealand, so they did a great job learning some NZ music to add to the night and we requested they learn "Land Downunder." They put so much into learning the song that it really made the night. They even brought out a flute to stay really true to the song, which was the talk of the night! It was really impressive.

Tons of our guests went out of their ways to tell us how amazing the band was and that it was the most fun wedding they'd ever been to! If you're looking for a quite night for your wedding, this is not the band for you... We had an amazing night, thanks to the music and I've never been so exhausted in my entire life!

Excellent Band

by Laura Almasan

David Rothstein and his 10 piece band is fabulous! They played at my sister's wedding and I was very impressed. The music was upbeat; he kept people dancing and he also did a few fun games during the night to break up the hours of dance music. This really helped to keep everyone interested in the evening's activities. I highly recommend his band!

Enjoyable Wedding Band

by lisa7409

David Rothstein Music was a part of our wedding planning that we did not get worked up about because of the excellent organization, experience, and professionalism of the band. To compliment that, the band was awesome and even came off stage at times to work the crowd. Our dance floor was always crowded and we still get compliments today about the band. Numerous people have come up to us saying how the night started with such energy from when we first entered the reception hall and this energy never died. They are talented and very involved, ensuring that

the night goes smoothly and most importantly, that everyone has a good time. Plus, they are even willing to learn songs if necessary, and that was huge for us.

• Pros: Organized, Professional, Good Sound

Oh what a night!

by Valorie

I hired the David Rothstein Band for my wedding on July 31, 2009 and my guests haven't stopped talking about how great and fun they were. They added so much energy to the room. They engaged the guests in alot of fun dances. They created special moments for me..the bride...and my new husband to interact and bond with our guests...our loved ones! This band was worth the money! They kept us dancing from the moment we stepped in the ballroom, in between meal courses, and all thru the night. I wanted a do over at the end of the night because i was having so much fun that i didn't want it to end....ever!!!

Very fun wedding band!

by jsara

We hired David and his 9-piece orchestra for our June 5 wedding and were very happy with our experience. The reception music was one of the things we decided would be a bigger portion of our budget, and I'm so glad we did as it was worth every penny. Everyone had a blast dancing at our wedding--we're still getting tons of comments about how great the band was. David's musicians are extremely talented and professional, and David himself has a thorough understanding of his business. Ultimately, he knows how to get people out onto the dance floor and having a blast.

He also has an arranger on staff and was flexible with our special requests. They let my sister play lead clarinet with the band on the song we selected for our father-daughter dance, which was a surprise for me and one of my favorite memories of our wedding day. I would definitely recommend David et al to anyone looking for great wedding entertainment.

As far as the pricing, I recommend negotiating with David as he was very willing to work within our budget.
