Very affordable and knowledgeable and from the beginning we had a good feeling with them. They have a great selection and are so flexible with instruments and what they offer, I was amazed from the beginning. Jerry asked very good questions and gave us so many recommendations that I was just happy to have them playing at our wedding. I was sure that I did not like to hear 'another" here comes the bride song and instead I got a beautiful 'viva la viva' from coldplay and they were just beautiful. we decided on a trio and they arrived on time for the wedding day, elegantly dressed and I can just highly recommend them!!

I got married 3 years ago and hired La Folia to play at my wedding ceremony and cocktail hour at Greystone Mansion. From the moment I reached out to them, Jerry was nothing but professional. He always responded very quickly to emails and was extremely helpful with song selection and any other questions I had. He was flexible and very accommodating - and it was extremely easy working with them. We went with the trio, which included the guitar, flute and violin. Their music is really beautiful, I love the sound of the guitar. You can go on their website to listen to some samples - love the trio Canon D (aww... brings back such special memories). HIGHLY RECOMMEND - and lastly, forget to mention that they are affordable!

I honestly have no words but I'll try to explain the level of energy they brought to our wedding.. My husband and I knew we wanted a good band and that was super important to us (even on a somewhat tight budget in this day/age) so we booked downbeat first! We knew right away we wanted them at our wedding from the incredible video examples they have on their website of each band- making the decision process so easy... we found that most bands you had to rely on word of mouth/recommendations as a lot don't have videos of them signing. Not downbeat! We got a full glance at what our wedding would look/sound like with their website and they somehow managed to still blow our expectations out of the water!!!! They were absolutely electric! They have you fill out a music mapping sheet before the wedding to nail down your exact style/taste of music and we were SHOCKED by the amount of songs they could play. I mean thousands of songs in every genre you could think of. It was even hard for us to come up with the 4 special selected songs they would learn just for our wedding because of how lengthy this sheet of music was. We added on the horn section late into wedding planning, they were so easy and accommodating to work with. We even had some venue restrictions with noise/equipment and they were so seamless and knew how to make it work out! Such a joy to chat with, I cannot say enough good things about this agency. The talent within the A list band is UNREAL... I mean people's jaws were literally on the floor the whole night they truly made our wedding what it was. I would've spent our whole wedding budget on them, you truly will not regret hiring them! They played banger after banger and our guests are still raving about them. So many people came up to us asking for their info at our reception. Our dance floor was full the entire night. Truly the best night of my life thanks to Downbeat/The A list!!!!

They played everything from Motown, fun classics, rock, and did such an amazing job and got the crowd so excited and engaged! Truly can't thank them enough, they made our wedding!!

Book The Class Band!!!!!…read more We cannot recommend The Class Band enough! They absolutely exceeded every expectation and were one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From the very beginning, Gabe, the band leader, was incredibly responsive, organized, and accommodating. Throughout the entire planning process, he answered every question quickly, worked with all of our requests, and made us feel completely at ease. No matter what idea we had, he was willing to help make it happen. On the wedding day, Gabe and the band were punctual, professional, and kept everything running seamlessly. Their energy was incredible, and they had our dance floor packed all night long! What truly set them apart, though, was how much they went above and beyond to make our day personal and unforgettable. They took the time to practice a special song with my grandpa so he could perform with them during the reception--a memory our family will cherish forever. Then, to make the night even more special, Gabe invited my dad to join the band on saxophone, creating another once-in-a-lifetime moment that had everyone cheering. Those personal touches meant the world to us and perfectly captured how much this band genuinely cares about creating an unforgettable experience for their couples. They weren't just there to perform--they became part of the celebration and helped create memories that we'll treasure for a lifetime. If you're looking for a band that is incredibly talented, professional, accommodating, and truly invested in making your wedding everything you've dreamed of, The Class Band is the one. We would book them again in a heartbeat!

I found Mallette String Quartet after one late-night google search and I am so glad I did! They seemed perfect and I was hesitant to book because it almost seemed too perfect to be true but in the end our expectations were more than met! We had the quartet as the main entertainment for four hours of the reception (they even played the song for our first dance) and everyone loved it. The great thing about their repertoire is that in addition to the usual classical music, which is always nice to have, they have a huge list of string versions of contemporary pieces. Everything from Lady Gaga to Star Wars music. A couple of our guests were playing a game during the reception trying to guess which song was being played. Honestly my biggest regret about the wedding day is being too busy to pay enough attention to the music myself! As for pre-wedding, Bruce was very easy to work with, answered all my questions and did exactly what we wanted. Thank you for helping make our wedding day as special as it was!

Having the Bob Gail Music 11-piece band was one of the best choices we made. From start to finish, everything was easy and smooth, but the real magic was the music. The energy, the joy, the nonstop dancing -- it was everything we hoped for and more. We worked with the band to make every moment feel special -- our custom playlist, first dance, the big "let's dance!" moment, and even the last song of the night. Plus, the jazz trio during cocktails set the perfect vibe before the party kicked off.

I was hesitant to go so big, but they and my wife were sure it was worth it for that guest count. They absolutely delivered, and all the guests raved about the band. Rob was calm and organized, even though we had quite a few special "surprise" music moments he needed to be prepared for. He even managed to steer us away from a song we were considering, knowing that our family had back-channeled directly to him to use that song for a special surprise moment for us. In fact, he even helped us chase down extra photos and videos of that moment when we realized we didn't have good recordings of it, but saw that one of his people was getting a good recording. OTB was great with special request and also with their bread-and-butter entertaining. Bravo! My only constructive criticism is that the after-party DJ (who we also hired through OTB) was not aware of what songs the band had played during the reception. So we ended up hearing a handful of repeat songs. Regardless, I would definitely recommend OTB!

On the wedding day they showed up on time, set everything up, came and spoke with me briefly about a few final details and everything was spot on. The vocals were out of this world and I swear our dance floor was packed the entirety of the night! They play all the right songs at all the right times and kept the energy bumpin! We got nothing but positive feedback from our guests regarding the band, most of them saying it was the best wedding band they've ever seen. Definitely go with On The Beat, you will not regret it!!

Hands down, the number one comment we've received from our wedding guests was that the band was AMAZING! The band leaders Joie and Dave actually met us at the venue months in advance to help us pick the ideal location for them to play, meet the venue management and plan their own logistics. Dave and T-bone played our wedding procession music on acoustic guitars and it was so beautiful. Being the music person I am, we had to have the Beatles, so they learned 3 new songs just for our ceremony. Then for our first dance we chose a super difficult song by Louis Armstrong called "A kiss to build a dream on." I joked with my bride that the trumpet solo on our first dance would be the barometer for our wedding... and needless to say they absolutely nailed it. The process was also a lot of fun. I worked with Joie on creating a play list from a huge catalog of songs across many genres and eras that the band knows. One of the best moments of the wedding was watching my 91 year old grandmother rocking out to Sweet Emotions. It 's super obvious that they can play any type of event just given the presence that Joie had on stage. Oh, and by the way did I mention she also emceed our wedding. My bride and I couldn't be happier with The Radio Rebels and frankly wish we could have recorded their performance as it was that phenomenal. To sum up my thoughts on the band in one sentence it would be: "The Radio Rebels truly rock in every sense of the word!"

Great music, great group of people, GREAT BAND!!!
