Fantastic Band!!! 10/23/2008

DRM played at our wedding on September 20, 2008 at the Chicago Cultural Center and were absolutely fabulous. I do not have a single bad thing to say about them (and I can be a real complainer too!) They provided the music for the entire wedding - ceremony (string quartet), cocktail hour (jazz trio), and reception (jazz trio plus singer during dinner, 7 piece orchestra for dancing) - which was nice because you don't have to worry about coordination issues and have one less vendor to pay/worry about. The 7-piece orchestra was absolutely wonderful - they played all the songs we love, none of the ones my husband or I hate, and really fed off the energy in the room to keep people of all ages dancing. We had aunts and uncles who I didn't even know could dance gettin' DOWN! We had arranged for my husband's cousin to sing a song during the reception, which went flawlessly even without a rehearsal, and the band was so nice they invited her back on stage to sing Respect with them later. People are still calling/writing to tell us what a great time they had and how great the band was. The string quartet and jazz trio were wonderful as well, they just don't get on the glory, sorry guys!\r \r Besides being a great band, it's little things that really set David apart from the others. His website is awesome in helping to plan the ceremony music (which I was utterly clueless about). It even has links to clips of each song. He also has a template ""schedule"" for the entire event from ceremony through reception that helps you plan the sequence of events (how to notify ceremony musicians when you're ready, timing of toasts, cake cutting, dances, etc). I'm pretty sure our wedding would have been a disaster without it. I looked everywhere online for similar schedules too, and found none. David really knows what he's doing, it's almost a science to him I think. I would recommend him to anyone and everyone. Thanks David (and Jeff!), it is truly a night we will never forget. more

Better than I expected! 10/15/2008

David Rothstein played for our wedding on October 12th! We had a nine piece band and they had the crowd dancing all night. The band definitely made the night a memorable experience for everyone. The best song was ""Shout"" I think that every single person at the wedding was on the dance floor. They even let guests take the microphone and sing! Everyone at the wedding raved about the band and how great they were! Thank you so much for a terrific night. I would reccomend David Rothstein and band to anyone looking to make their wedding a blast! more

Best Band for a Wedding in Chicago 10/14/2008

My husband and I hired the David Rothstein Band for our wedding on October 11th and both of us have talked about how great the band was for the past three days. The band created amazing memories that we will have for life. Everyone of your guests have told us it was the best wedding they have ever been to. The dance floor was packed all night and the only time people stopped dancing was during the band's break. The minute the band started playing again it was like a mob back to the floor and people danced the rest of the night. When the band was done our guests wanted more. They all started chanting, ""One more song."" I never expected to have this much fun at my wedding. They exceeded all my expectations. David was an excellent MC and kept our night rolling. From the toasts to the cake cutting he took care of everything. The band was setup well before our guests arrived and were never subjected to a sound check and the sound was amazing. It was so amazing that my sister who is getting married in May is trying to get them booked. The band made our night and memories that we will have forever. Thanks for all you did to make our wedding so special! more

Best Band Around! 9/22/2008

David Rothstein's band/orchestra was awesome! They had everyone up and dancing all night long. David, himself, added his own special touch by leading a crazy group dance where everyone had a spectacular time! We can't thank him and the orchestra enough! We loved working with David and when we need an orchestra for another occasion, we will definitely use him again! Pros: Great singers and musicians! more

Awesome wedding band! 9/16/2008

My husband and I cannot thank you enough for your wonderful services and outstanding band! We had the most amazing night ever thanks to your amazing band and wonderful attitude. We appreciate your professionalism and calm demeanor even through the moments when time was in a crunch. Our guests are still raving about how fabulous you guys are. We could not have picked a better band to make our night the best ever! I will definitely be recommending you to everyone I know and even people I don't know. You promised that you would be the best band and you delivered! I never had any doubt, but that night you went above and beyond. Thank you for making room for one more singer (me) especially last minute...it was great! ~Erica\r more

BEST WEDDING RECEPTION I'VE EVER BEEN TO.... ALL THANKS TO THIS AWESOME BAND!!! 9/3/2008

My best friend just used David Rothstein's band for her wedding this past weekend and it was by far the best wedding reception I've ever been to (not just because it was my best friend!) !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The music was incredible, the band had SO MUCH ENERGY and the band really got everyone involved. David was extremely personable and very friendly and he certainly is a pro at weddings! Not only are the singers and whole band really talented, they knew exactly what music would get people up on the dance floor! A couple times during the night, I looked around the room and NOT ONE person was sitting down - they were all on the dance floor! From the moment they called people on to the dance floor, it was a non-stop great time!! I heard several people during & after the wedding saying it was the most fun they've ever had at a wedding. I know that people will be talking about DRS for a long time! highly highly HIGHLY recommend David Rothstein.... I can promise you that you/your guests will have SO MUCH FUN!!!!!!!!!! Pros: High Energy, Good Crowd Involvement, GREAT TIME!!!! Cons: NONE!!! more

David's Got Talent! 9/2/2008

David's band traveled to our Wisconsin wedding in July. We have never been exposed to live music before at a wedding and we were a bit apprehensive about how to go about finding a band. David's band was highly recommended to us by a good friend who attended a wedding in which they performed. The DRS website was so comprehensive and provide very useful information to help us learn about the band and plan the music for the ceremony and reception. David was very prompt in answering every question we had. We met with him several times and he always put us at ease and guarenteed that our wedding would be an event to remember for all of our guests. The music at the ceremony and cocktail was beautiful and set a wonderful tone for the event. The party really began when the 10-piece orchestra began to play at the reception. From the introductions to the last dance, David was a fantastic leader and kept the momentum going all night. Our guests are still talking about the music and will continue for a long time. more

Best Chicago Wedding Band! 9/2/2008

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!!!! more

The Perfect Wedding Band! 8/12/2008

We got married in June and the David Rothstein band is still getting talked about by our guests to this day! The band got and kept the momentum going throughout the evening and the dance floor was always packed. David's idea to include the ""dancing between courses"" was definitely worth the extra money, people had a blast and it felt very unique. And, thanks to David, I was not worried once throughout the planning process or the day of because he was so organized and kept all vendors on schedule. One of the best parts was that David and crew helped us to donate our centerpieces to a local nursing home after the reception...they drove all the arrangements over to the home for us at 12am! Service above and beyond!! I was recommended to the band by a family member and I will continue to recommend them to everyone I know. more

Most professional band! 7/31/2008

David Rothstein Music was amazing! My wife and I had to work with many different vendors while planning our wedding and DRM was the glue that kept it all together and was by far the most professional! David is always timely when returning phone calls and emails and he is so reliable!\r \r Our MC was Jeff Sanders and we couldn't have been happier! We were hesitant to do the ""dancing between courses"" at the reception, but it turned out phenomenal! Jeff, kept all of our guests in check and when it was time for the next course he made an announcement and everyone sat down to eat. While eating our meals Lou (Sinatra guy) sang his tunes...it was unforgettable! Pinky ring and all!\r \r The dancing portion of the reception was the best. Our lead singer was out on the dance floor singing ""SHOUT"" and there were hundreds of people dancing and signing along with him! I can't even describe how much fun we had at the wedding. Everyone was complementing my wife and I for selecting such an awesome band. When it comes to wedding bands in Chicago...there's no question, its David Rothstein Music!! \r \r Thank you so much for making our wedding so memorable!\r \r Sincerely,\r Mike Pros: Reliability, Talent, energy level, working the crowd Cons: Expensive, but well worth the money! more

Music to my Ears 7/29/2008

I had my wedding at Cafe Brauer and used DRM as my band. I couldn't be happier! The music was wonderful; I didn't want it to end. David was the MC and was a pleasure to work with. He and his band are so well organized, personable and talented. I can't wait until I get my video so I can relive every moment. We heard that Cafe Brauer has bad acoustics; you would have never known after listening to DRM play in the beautiful room. I highly recommend using DRM!! more

Greatest Wedding Band Ever 6/26/2008

If you couldn't tell from David's website, this is truly the greatest wedding band in the country. It was so much fun planning our reception with David. We met several times, and we really got to know each other prior to the event. On the night of our wedding, we knew we were in good hands. David knew exactly what we wanted, and he executed the reception like the pro he is. With this band, you don't just get great music. You get an MC who coordinates all the aspects of the night, and who makes sure it is the best time of your life. \r \r And of course, no review would be complete without discussing the music. We have heard from so many of our guests that ours was the best wedding they had ever been to, and we know this was because of the music. The dance floor was packed the entire night. We could not even visit with guest at their tables, because no one was sitting long enough. We can't say enough about how wonderful the David Rothstein Orchestra is. We highly recommend them for your event.\r \r Sincerely,\r Matthew and Caroline Vahey more

Fabulous Wedding Orchestra 6/23/2008

We used David's band for my daughter's wedding and they were wonderful. The dance floor was packed all night. David kept the energy up and his musicians and the vocalists sounded terrific. David was great MC also. The flow of the special introductions and events was great. We also used David's classical trio for the ceremony and his jazz trio for the cocktail hour. Both were delightful. David was wonderful to work with, helpful and professional. He and his band even learned a special song the bride and groom requested for the first dance. Don't hesitate, he is great. Thanks David! Pros: Professional, talanted, terrific sound more

Best Band for your Wedding or next Event 4/7/2008

This band was incredible! We had about 230 people at our wedding and the dance floor was rocking all night. All our guests were dancing, including my father who I have never seen dance. David Rothstein was so professional and an absolute delight to work with. He set up an initial meeting which allowed him to assess our personalities and the mood and style of our wedding. David picked the most perfect selection of songs that kept the crowd dancing the entire night. My husband and I never left the dance floor and our guests did not either. David threw in a little surprise that we absolutely loved. The pictures we have of that night are amazing and so many guests are asking about the band at our wedding a year later. If we could get married again just to hire David Rothstein one more time, we would definitely do so. Professional, fun, priced just right. more

Fantastic wedding band! 3/25/2008

We booked David Rothstein and his band for our wedding and the dance floor was never empty! All our guests raved about the band and my husband and I were thrilled with how everything turned out. David ensured the wedding flowed by taking care of the introductions, helping with the music selection for the ceremony, cocktail hour and reception and generally handling the details that I expected many wedding coordinators to handle. He was organized, gave input when needed, and held our hand throughout the planning of the wedding. The music was a huge part of the day for us and we really wanted our guests to enjoy themselves on the dance floor the entire night if possible. Mission accomplished. Thanks so much David!!! more

The band was a blast! 2/29/2008

David Rothstein and band played for our wedding back in November. They did the music for the church, the cocktail hour, dinner and the reception!! They were absolutely amazing and kept the party going all night. The music during the early part of the night was so enjoyable and once the dancing started, our guests, as well as the two of us, never left the dance floor!! The band did a great job of getting everyone on their feet and the music was enjoyable for people of all ages. Three months later, we are still being told by our guests that it was the most fun wedding they have ever attended. We truly recommend David Rothstein Music for any event! more

Book This Band! 2/12/2008

His musicians and vocalists were fantastic. Very impressive. He kept the dance floor full and kept the night on track. We had a few musicians set the mood during the cocktail hour and dinner. Then, Dave blew it out with the ""big Band"". Haven't had this much fun since college. Just happy I didn't hurt myself! Definitely book these guys for your next function. You and your guests will have a blast. Pros: Very professional and highly entertaining more

Great band 10/24/2007

One of the things that was most important to me while planning the wedding was for all of our guests to have a great time, and I knew that needed a great band. David Rothstein didn't disappoint! We danced all night, and have been receiving compliments daily since the wedding. I'm frequently hearing ""we loved the horns!"" or ""we loved the singers!"" and ""we just loved the band, who were they?!"" Hearing what a fun night everyone had made this band a great choice for our wedding. more

Guaranteed to have a full dance floor 10/22/2007

Our wedding was back in April and guests are still giving unsolicited compliments about the band and music selection at our wedding. David and his musicians were handsdown the best part of a perfect wedding weekend. From the first meeting where we discussed the song preferences and schedule, to the big day where David served as master of ceremonies, David was a complete professional and took charge of all details for the wedding. We did not have a wedding consultant and it was a relief to have David in charge from the minute the ceremony ended and we transitioned into reception time. They provided a string quartet for the ceremony, a jazz trio for the cocktail hour and a full 9 piece band for the reception. Each and every person was amazing. Every guest has commented on how it was the best band they have ever heard live and how it was the most fun they ever had at a wedding - full of class and energy. Thank you David and your counterparts for an amazing day we wish we could relive again! more

GREAT wedding band 10/18/2007

David and his band were absolutely fantastic at our wedding this past July. His team is professional and courteous. We booked them for our ceremony, reception, dinner, and after-dinner dancing. All of our guests were immediately on the dance floor and the band learned a new song just for us! I would highly recommend David Rothstein Music; it was a pleasure to work with them and I didn't have to worry about a single thing on my wedding day. more
