Radio Gatsby absolutely crushed it at our wedding and we are still talking about it! We had a solo pianist for the ceremony, a quartet during cocktail hour, and a full band for dinner and dancing. Every part of the day had its own perfect vibe and they nailed all of it. They played every song we wanted and steered completely clear of the ones we didn't, which honestly meant so much to us. Our guests would not stop raving about the music all night and weeks after! We loved every second of it. The dance floor was full from start to finish. If you are looking for musicians who will genuinely make your day feel like YOUR day, book Radio Gatsby. You will not regret it! read more

These guys are great! We booked them for our Super Bowl weekend Welcome Reception and they were wonderful. Very easy to work with leading up to the event via email, and then the night of the party the music was perfect! Our guests really enjoyed it and it fit just right at our venue and with our theme. Thank you! read more

Radio Gatsby brought life to our Microsoft corporate event! I hired Radio Gatsby for a Microsoft corporate mixer we hosted at The Dawn Club in downtown San Francisco, and they were absolutely phenomenal. The venue has a speakeasy vibe, so I requested jazz and they delivered it perfectly. Before the event they sent over an entire book of songs to choose from, and I picked a few I liked and left the rest up to them based on my direction. It was perfect. Their versatility and ability to read the room really stood out. Noam was fantastic to work with leading up to the event. Everything was seamless, professional, and handled with care. The band showed up early with great vibes and positive energy, and they immediately helped set the tone while I focused on final setup. They brought life to the happy hour. Everyone loved them and they were a huge part of what made the event such a success. I highly recommend Radio Gatsby and will absolutely hire them again for future events! read more

We had the absolute pleasure of having Radio Gatsby perform at our wedding in Healdsburg, and they were phenomenal! While they specialize in jazz, they seamlessly transitioned into contemporary and wedding dance music and kept everybody on the dance floor. Noam and the entire band were a delight to work with, not only delivering fantastic music but also handling the audio setup for our ceremony and speeches flawlessly. Communicating and coordinating with Noam prior to the event was a breeze as well--he is very thorough and diligent! In terms of performance, the eight-piece ensemble was incredibly talented, and their energy was contagious. Our guests couldn't stop raving about the band--who could blame them?? We highly recommend Radio Gatsby! read more

Bride here, got married at Nestldown, Los Gatos. Radio Gatsby Band was absolutely amazing at our wedding! Noam (band manager) was very reliable, organized and communicative. I did not worry one bit about anything. From the moment they started playing, they set the perfect vibe for our celebration. Their energy, talent, and ability to read the room made the night unforgettable. We had guests of all ages (from 2 to 82 yo), and they managed to get everyone on the dance floor. The band's professionalism and attention to detail were top-notch, and they truly made our wedding feel like something out of a dream. We couldn't have asked for a better group to bring our celebration to life. If you're looking for a band that will blow your guests away, Radio Gatsby is the way to go! Apologies to Radio Gatsby for the (very) late review. :) read more

From day one when I sent a message about a quote, I had good vibes. Noam the pianist and vocalist called me to get more details to make sure they could accommodate all of my needs for my party. Hands down the best about my party was having radio Gatsby play live. All of my guests can't say enough good things about this band. They were all very professional all of the vocalists were amazing. They really liven up the party. Everyone was dancing. They even got me out of my shell and I sang two songs with them. They are all genuine great people. If you are on the fence about spending too much, just do it. It's so worth it. You won't regret it. It will be great memories for a lifetime. read more

My husband and I got married last month and Radio Gatsby played at our wedding at the Mark Hopkins Hotel in San Francisco. To say we had an amazing experience with them would be an understatement! At the wedding, their music was high energy, fun for all ages, and full of so (so!) much soul :) BUT, just as important to us was how easy and pleasant it was working with them before the wedding itself. We worked closely with Noam (the manager) for a month before our wedding and he took so much time with us to iron out all the details of the night. We appreciated so much that Noam was on board with us either being hands off in the music selection process or completely hands on (we were hands on!). Noam spent over 45 minutes with us on our first phone call and from then on out was SO communicative, professional, and kind. He responded to texts, emails, phone calls promptly and never thought our requests were too weird or extravagant. My partner and I handpicked every single song for the night (from their HUGE list of songs they play) and then when we requested a few more they were gracious enough to learn them! In addition to that incredible gesture, I was worried the music might be too loud for our event and Noam assured us that the volume of the music was completely up to us and that on the night of the wedding we could approach them about going louder or softer. That really meant a lot to us to have that kind of control. I really can't stress enough how thoughtful Noam was in helping us curate such a special night in our lives. It felt like working with the kindest friends (who are incredibly musically talented). In addition, on the night of our wedding the MC'ing got a little messed up and so we approached Noam about announcing our speakers giving toasts and Noam agreed on the spot! He took over the MC'ing of our wedding in the moment and saved our wedding from appearing unorganized. We really can't stress enough how fun the music was, how classy the communication beforehand was, or how many people told us they loved the band the next day! 10/10 we would recommend Radio Gatsby! read more

SUPER Band and very fun energy. I loved having them at our anniversary party. Very lively and so easy to work with!

Splurging on Radio Gatsby for our wedding was one of the best decisions we made. During the wedding planning process, Noam worked closely with us to make the best music choices that reflected our tastes and that would sound great. At the reception, they sounded fantastic. From start to finish the dance floor was filled with our usually reserved friends and family! After the wedding, so many people came up to us and commented on how amazing they were, and how much energy they infused into the reception. Everyone was of the opinion that this was head-and-shoulders better than any DJ. We also very much appreciated that they did the sound for our ceremony. In addition to having the audio work flawlessly, the piano player did a wonderful job setting the emotional scene for us. All in all, we could not have had a better experience. Thank you Radio Gatsby for helping us celebrate! read more

People cannot stop talking about how great my wedding was and it is because of the band! We have had the song "I wanna dance with somebody" stuck in our heads for the past 4 days because guests are still posting videos of everyone dancing to us. Hands down the best purchase I made for the wedding. They were attentive and played mp3s that we provided of our cultural music during the breaks as well. read more

I recently hired Radio Gatsby for a 1940's inspired, black tie event. They were absolutely incredible. Any good party planner knows that entertainment makes your event and I am so glad we hired them. They were professional, fun, and worked with my budget which I was so grateful for. You will not be disappointed!!!! read more

Radio Gatsby was a huge hit at my party! They arrived early, took care of all of the logistics and kept the energy high. Everyone came up to me to tell me how great they were and even strangers walking by on the street stopped into the party to ask what band was playing. They exceeded my expectations! read more

I've known Noam for years and he never ceases to amaze me with his musical talent and zest for life. I've experienced his music in a variety of diverse settings, from small intimate private gatherings and anniversary parties to weddings and corporate events. Over the years, I have seen him gather incredible talent in curating a band and Radio Gatsby is once again, a hit. Instruments abound from sax and guitar to vocals and piano, the energy and passion that the band brings with them to a venue is contagious . Even if you're not someone who dances regularly, you'll find yourself being moved to beyond toe tapping once they get started & you'll be called to the dance floor with their fun upbeat vibe. Their range is also diverse -- hang onto your seat and get ready for an incredible afternoon or evening with Radio Gatsby in the room. Two thumbs up! Not to be missed. read more

Radio Gatsby was the perfect fit for a corporate awards dinner. Noam was a delight to work with, professional, flexible, and creative. He was interested in the flow of the event and the clients' goals so the band could deliver a performance that fit their needs. He even worked with us to choose the right vocalist for the tone of the show. The performance was outstanding - even when plans changed the day of and during the show, the band did not get flustered and delivered an amazing show. I cannot recommend Noam and Radio Gatsby enough! read more

Booking Radio Gatsby was one the best decision we made across our entire wedding. I can't say enough good things about Noam and his crew of talented musicians . Our wedding was complicated! Five performances each with unique sound needs, including a musical surprise from the bride, a musical surprise from the bride's mom and the need to keep THOSE TWO secret from each other, a transition to DJ, external performers. You name it, we had it. Radio Gatsby handled it all. Noam made our lives easier at every turn. He was kind, thoughtful, extremely open and collaborative, communicative. A performer's dream. The band was incredible - every musician talented, and just the right vibe for each unique moment. They were able to orchestrate a last minute first dance song for us that wasn't in the repertoire. They can play seemingly anything, do it well, and with high energy and class. Can't recommend enough! read more

We loved working with Radio Gatsby and recommend them highly for all of your live music event needs. We are so lucky to have had them perform at our wedding and we plan to make future trips to see Radio Gatsby perform, as they are now our favorite band! Noam did an excellent job working with us to make it all happen and really understood what we were looking for. The entire group was so extremely talented. Yvette, Noam, Jake, Jerry and Joe were all such amazingly talented musicians and brought so much energy while performing such beautiful music. We could go on and on about their professionalism and sheer talent. It was truly a pleasure being able to work with them. read more

I heard them for the first time tonight. Their set had highly original arrangements of songs from all eras, styled as if from the 30's. I was entranced and very much entertained. They were really good! Jeff Rollason read more

Simply the best and such a wonderful set of people to work with. They were thoughtful and their performances were amazing throughout the evening without missing a beat at all. All of our guests also appreciated the beautiful music from the Radio Gatsby band. So grateful we were able to have them at our Gala. Thanks, Noam, Helena, Rich and Valerie and team. You guys rock! ~E read more

Radio Gatsby played my wedding and they were amazing! Superb sense of energy and event dynamics. We surprised them with a request for a game that needed 3 minute songs to act as timers for our collaborative art game and they figured it out on the spot without a hitch. But most amazing my fiancee was asking the singer a question and she was responsive then, so naturally, just sung the next bar of the music right on time. Real pros you shouldn't hesitate to hire! read more

Radio Gatsby are professionals in every sense of the word. First things first, they are phenomenal musicians. So many of our guests can't stop telling us how great they were. Not only did they sound fantastic, but they chose the right songs that kept people on the dance floor all night long -- and that's saying a lot given we are millennials and our guests ranged from children to 70-somethings! We are especially appreciative that, even though they have a huge, diverse repertoire, they learned, and went above and beyond in performing, our first dance song. It was magical. Second of all, not only are they professional in a musical sense, Noam, the bandleader/ point person, was so incredible to work with in the planning process. He always responded in a timely manner, made sure to get all the details he needed about our event (even giving us ideas and valuable advice along the way), and was just super, super nice. The ease of working with Noam took so much weight off our shoulders during a time that easily could have been stressful with a less experienced or communicative vendor. Every time we ended a call with him we felt excitement and peace of mind. Even more, we really felt like he "got" what we wanted, and the payoff at the actual wedding only confirmed that. In short, do yourself a favor and hire Radio Gatsby. read more

Radio Gatsby as a jazz trio performed at our sonoma wedding and set an incredible ambiance to a flower filled, vineyard, starlight vibe. The double bass was especially a hit -- he had the smoothest voice and perfect for some Frank Sinatra! The band was classic, fun, and brought a special touch to our wedding -- my mom called me after the wedding to say that Radio Gatsby was one of her favorite touches! Noam organized everything, set up all the equipment and worked with our planner and was a total pro. So kind and wonderful for your special events -- highly recommend. read more

Amazing band! Game changed for an event or wedding. Highly recommend. Experienced and full service wedding band helped a ton specially since we didn't have a wedding planner. They were able to transition us for all wedding events from music as people arrived, ceremony, happy hour, dinner, reception, and dj'ing the after party. The retro style brought class to the event we're so happy with the results. read more

Radio Gatsby is such a talented band - we hired them for our wedding, and we're so, so, so happy we did. The band's song catalogue was impressive. They learned a new song we requested for the ceremony, and it was as if they'd been playing it for years. The moment was absolutely perfect, followed by an epic party - our family and friends are still raving about how outstanding the music was. Radio Gatsby's sound just drops you into a warm night in New Orleans. The vocals and horns were unreal. From our intro call to ceremony to late night dance party, Noam coordinated the timing and flow of our entire day. He offered loads of advice and his expertise on throwing a smooth event/killer party was invaluable. He even came to the redwoods and played piano while we took pictures. Thank you so much for being such a huge part of our big day! read more

Radio Gatsby played our wedding for 120+ people at the Berkeley City Club, and exceeded our high expectations! The band brought awesome energy that had everyone - young and old - on the dance floor the entire night. They did a great job reading the room, playing some soulful classics along with their own twists on more modern jams. Rhonda Sauce killed the vocals; amazing range. And impressive solos all around the band. The band is clearly experienced playing weddings, and it showed throughout the planning process and the performance itself. Noam worked with us on our entrance and first dance, did a great job listening to us on the vibe we were going for, provided input/insight where needed, and generally instilled confidence through the entire planning process (including covid rescheduling). Multiple of our wedding guests told us that they were the best band that they'd ever seen perform at a wedding. We couldn't be happier with our choice to book them! read more

My best investment for my wedding was the Radio Gatsby! The whole band is very professional and Noam as the leader is super responsible and thoughtful. All our guests enjoyed the live music and had a wonderful night. read more

Wow! What a cool band! We had the best time dancing to their groove. Enjoyed their hip sound that's kinda retro and classic at the same time. They make the oldies sound so fresh and they also do current hits with their own twist. Great vibe, fun loving energy - loved it! read more

Radio Gatsby did an incredible job for my corporate holiday party! Noam was wonderful to work with in the pre-planning of the event, and took great care to walk me through the various options for musical content. The crew arrived on time, looked fabulous and brought so much to our party. Everyone LOVED the live music. Will definitely book again! read more

Radio Gatsby played at my 70th birthday party. From the beginning, Noam was attentive and always receptive to our ideas. We were able to choose songs from their extensive set list and added a couple of requests. The mission for the party was to have excellent music which would get people dancing. The evening started with jazz for cocktails and dinner, a perfect combination of songs which allowed guests to get settled in. When the dance party started, the music built throughout the night to the point that everyone was on the dance floor. The music exceeded our expectations, and everyone said how great Radio Gatsby sounded. They allowed me to sit in with them on drums for two songs which was an honor and incredibly fun. I highly recommend Radio Gatsby for your special event. Bruce Simon. read more

Radio Gatsby are awesome. I want to call out Noam in particular for being super-responsive, great to work with, and adaptable. He set up great musical accompaniment for both our wedding service and party afterwards. He is talented, and so are his musicians. The group as a whole was super-professional. They became a terrific part of the wedding ceremony and party. read more

Radio Gatsby is an incredible band. I was thrilled to attend an event where they were playing and their music blew me away - we danced until our feet hurt! The lead singer has a spectacular voice and I especially loved their vintage arrangements of contemporary hits - like Beyonce set in the 1940's. They have amazing energy and range - from jazz to motown and more - I can't wait to see them perform again. 5 stars plus!!! read more

Radio Gatsby was everything we wanted, and more, in a band for our 115 person wedding. Noam was an excellent band manager, easy to work with, and exceedingly helpful throughout the planning process. Each of the musicians was extraordinarily talented and contributed something special to the group. Over the course of our wedding day, Radio Gatsby put on multiple phenomenal performances that transitioned seamlessly from cocktail hour to dinner and finally an incredible dance party. Radio Gatsby genuinely over-delivered and earned endless praise from friends and family who told us they couldn't possibly leave the dance floor. Radio Gatsby is so talented and fun, we'd hire them again and again. Radio Gatsby - THANK YOU for an incredible evening! read more

I attended a private birthday party and got to enjoy the incredible talent of this band. Everyone was dancing and they were just so fun and good. No one wanted them to stop. Their energy was high and fun and the personality of the musicians really sparkled. I felt very lucky to have been in attendance and I've already reccomend them to a friend, so I thought I should publicly reccomend them as well! read more

We LOVED working with Radio Gatsby for our 300+ person cocktail reception. They were so professional and engaging. We had a group of corporate professionals and they were up dancing by the end and giving requests! Radio Gatsby is so talented and easy to work with. 100% recommend. read more

My wife and I hired Radio Gatsby to play at our wedding, and "wow" is really all we can say. They were incredible. From the band itself to the DJ party at the end of the night we could not have asked for a better band to play for our day. Thank you again to Radio Gatsby for the unforgettable night. read more

There are too many wonderful things to write about Radio Gatsby to fit in this yelp review! They were hands down by favorite and easiest wedding vendor! From the first phone call, Noam was attentive and knowledgeable. He met every request and exceeded them. He even remastered a family heirloom to use during the wedding. At the wedding, everyone loved Radio Gatsby. They had the perfect music and vibe for every part of the evening. Do not hesitate in hiring Radio Gatsby. Truly phenomenal! read more

I can say with all honestly, Radio Gatsby was a large part in making our kids' elementary school's recent Gatsby Gala themed auction the roaring success that it was! Not only did Radio Gatsby's seven-piece band add an unexpected and fun flair to the evening, but they also set the mood for the entire event and created the most perfect vibe! I cannot thank Radio Gatsby enough for their advice, great communication, and time planning during our event. From the start of the cocktail hour, Radio Gatsby set the tone for the evening getting guests in the mood for an evening of fun and fundraising. As the evening progressed, Radio Gatsby seamlessly upped the tempo of their music and got guests in the spirit of bidding for our live auction. All the band members were professional and courteous, and even more so, appreciative of our collaboration. The band was very attentive to our needs and expertly cleared and re-set their equipment before and after our live auction, which also took place on our stage. At the conclusion of our live auction, Radio Gatsby instantly had every guest on their feet dancing the night away and singing along to popular hits with that special Radio Gatsby twist! As the co-chair of the evening, there was nothing more satisfying then hearing our guests chanting "encore encore!" at the conclusion of the band's last set. Noam and Radio Gatsby were a pleasure to work with from our very first communication to our last. Without a doubt, I would not hesitate to hire Radio Gatsby for a future event. What an amazing evening the Gatsby Gala was! Thank you Radio Gatsby! I look forward to catching one of your future performances! read more

I recently attended a Radio Gatsby party and my wife and I had an amazing time. The band is high energy and really fun to dance to. Their mix of vintage and contemporary music kept the crowd happy and dancing the entire evening. Their female lead singer has an electric, powerful voice and puts on a mesmerizing performance! I highly recommend this group for any dance party. read more

Radio Gatsby, whoa! This is blues, jazz, funk, soul, rock, rap- you name it it's there and it's danceable, all with the vibe and flare of a vintage 1920's swing dance party. Walking into the room I heard the blast of trumpet and was instantly transported. This band somehow manages to bridge 10 decades of musical genres. Combining many different styles into a single song and mashing into the next, and the next...As a musician myself it's pretty astounding how smoothly they do it. I'm already planning ahead to my next big bash. There is literally something for everyone. My friends and I had a blast and we ALL danced:). You feel like you're being carried down this river by the charisma, musical range and heart thumping power of what's coming off the stage. Meanwhile the rock steady beat of the roaring 20s is this steady undercurrent keeping you moving and tapping your toe. Trumpet, sax, clarinet, keys, bass, drums, vocals- all incredible and tightly knit. This was hands-down the best dance party I've been to. I'm excited to hear more from this newbie band in town! read more
