David Rothstein Music

Amazing and Energetic Band!

by Rebecca Roller Daisley at Citysearch

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!

Thanks so much Rebecca!! I really appreciate the great review. Whenever we play "Land Down Under" I'll think of you and Carl! It was a fantastic night for everybody.

All the Best to you both and your families!!

Your Friend,

Best Wedding Band Ever!

by AliciaB LovesChicago at Citysearch

Three words: HIRE THIS BAND!!!

We hired DRM at our wedding and they were fantastic. Not only was David extremely helpful throughout the entire process, but even on the day of. I was so happy I didn't hire a wedding coordinator, David worked very well with all the other vendors & ensured things ran smoothly.

The band sounded fantastic and they are a fun group as well. David will really gauge the audience to ensure people are out on the dance floor. They really were! Also, David arranged several songs for us and they sounded great.

Also, David knew that my husband and I are Iowa Hawkeye fans. He incorporated that into our wedding which was so thoughtful. Also, following the wedding, he sent us the Sports Illustrated magazine that featured our team on the cover. Incredible!

He has so much passion about what he does. Hire DRM - you will not be disappointed.

• Pros: Professional, Helpful, Fun,

Best band ever

by perrycrawfordiv at Citysearch

We were married on October 17, 2009 and they were amazing! The dance floor was packed from the first song until the very end of the night. They learned a couple songs at our request and filled the night with personalization. It was a couple days after the maid of honor's birthday, so David had a birthday card for her and the whole 10-piece band sang happy birthday to her. The lead singer was awesome. Really, they keep their promise that they will keep the floor packed with tons of fun.

• Pros: They rock
• Cons: None

What else can I say?

by thepesh1984 at Citysearch

Everyone here has written some amazing things about this great band and MC. I will say this in addition to seconding everyone else: DRM absolutely made our wedding. They brought everything together for us, and really helped us feel like we were having exactly the wedding that we wanted. The music was to taste, the Sinatra singer was excellent, the music was great.

What DRM really brings is the great energy and atmosphere and MCing. Absolutely amazing, professional, and exciting. If you want your wedding to be fun, energetic, and professional, this is the way to go. So many weddings can be cheesy or corny because the MC is like that, or is not excited. David made our wedding exciting and fun and intimate and formal all at the same time. I saw people in my family dancing that I never thought would be off their chairs.

The service, the compatibility, and all that other stuff are of course there and above par. I'll leave that to the other commenters. If you have questions, I would just call David; that's what I did and I was impressed from the beginning. We didn't even bother looking at other bands after we found DRM. Thanks again.

• Pros: Friendly, Talented, Professional, Energetic
• Cons: None

Great Band and Atmosphere!

by chicago235 at Citysearch

David and his band played our wedding over a month ago and we continue to get complements on their performance. The band did a great job of reading the crowd and adjusting the play list to keep everyone dancing right up to the end of the night. The musicians and singers were great and very talented. They also took the time to learn several songs for the mother/father dances which are probably not played often. All in all, David did an excellent job of listening to what we wanted and delivering well beyond our expectations!

A pleasure to work with

by pizzapoet at Citysearch

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 at Citysearch

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 at Citysearch

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!

Excellent Band

by Laura Almasan at Citysearch

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!
