- First dance song? Brad Paisley- Then
- How did your wedding musicians keep the party going? I'm not sure how they did it but they did it. They came out and played with the crowd. They kept the songs upbeat and fun, and they had surprises around every corner.
- DJ or Band interaction with the wedding guests? Numbers exchanged? Everyone had a blast, all we keep hearing was "you're wedding was so much fun, and that BAND was amazing"
- Favorite wedding reception song & dance? ALL OF THEM. It was truly a night to remember for EVERYONE!!!

- First dance song? My Dad & I sand Peace in the Valley
- How did your wedding musicians keep the party going? OK...... So I know hiring a band for a wedding or event is expensive and some of you are wondering if it is worth it. Well I can tell you if you hire this band IT IS!!!!!! David and his band played at our wedding July 30th and they were suberb! My Dad and I decided we were going to sing a duet together instead of doing a father daughter dance and David was so accomodating. They learned the somg and played it perfectly when my Dad and I sang. It was the hit of the party! David was always super quick to answer any questions or concerns I had and was very kind. The dance floor was packed all night and we loved the fact that the entire band got involved with all the guests. My uncle is in a band himself and he went on & on about how great my band was and that he was very impressed. So many of my guests keep telling me that my wedding was truly the best they have attended and believe me David has everything to do with this :)
- DJ or Band interaction with the wedding guests? Numbers exchanged? Good

- First dance song? Wonder of You-Elvis Presley
- How did your wedding musicians keep the party going? David and his band played our wedding on 8/13/11 in Schiller Park and brought the house down!! EVERYONE had an amazing time. EVERYONE was on the dance floor. EVERYONE was raving about the band. Several people went so far as to tell us it was the BEST wedding they had ever been to. Not only did they play the kind of music we wanted to hear, they learned a few traditional Irish songs that we wanted our families to dance to
- DJ or Band interaction with the wedding guests? Numbers exchanged? EVERYONE was on the dance floor. EVERYONE was raving about the band.
- Favorite wedding reception song & dance? Our last song of the night: Sweet Home Chicago to end the reception. Horn section out on the dance floor surrounded by 300 guests going crazy. It was the perfect end to an AMAZING night
Review: Best band ever

- First dance song? Al Green - Let's Stay Together
- How did your wedding musicians keep the party going? I am soooo happy that I had David Rothstein and his band as my wedding band. They promised they would get everyone on the dance floor, and they definitely delivered. They were able to personalize our wedding for us, by playing everything that we asked, ranging from Klezmer music, to oldies, to modern music. They even had a few amazing surprises for us-including a gift of two aprons that they asked our guests to sign for us. I wasn't the only one impressed by the band-- all of our guests were raving about the band, and saying what an amazing job they did. I highly recommend this band for any celebration!!
- DJ or Band interaction with the wedding guests? Numbers exchanged? The wedding guests were on the dance floor the entire night. They were all really impressed with the band, and said that they were the best band they've ever seen.
- Favorite wedding reception song & dance? Shout.

- First dance song? Amazing - we danced to Elton John's 'our song'
- How did your wedding musicians keep the party going? Amazing! That’s really the only way to describe David Rothstein Music. My husband and I had the privilege of hiring David and his merry band for our wedding, in May. The band was amazing. Music was one of the areas where my husband and I spent a lot of time ‘discussing’ our options; circling around the topic of DJ vs. Band vs. combo vs. BUDGET. Here are a few of the reasons that we initial decided on Dave Rothstein Music: • His rave reviews – which seemed to good to be true… but I can say, I now understand where everyone was coming from! • His professionalism – During our first meeting, which he graciously accommodated early on a Sunday morning, to fit our schedules, he was prepared with examples, paperwork, and videos to guide us through the available options and help us create a viable and fitting musical program to match our wedding style. (To my husband’s delight, Dave quickly ushered us from one Mac product to another displaying videos on a large mac desktop and then demonstrating his unique set-list approach on the iPad – this alone was enough to win over my husband!) We did have a few concerns prior to/while booking: • The costs – I have to admit, I did experience a moment of sticker shock. It really was a commitment to spend what we did on music, and we didn’t make the decision lightly. After receiving David’s quote, we had to sit down and figure out what was really important to us on our wedding day. Through our mental review of weddings past (both great and, unfortunately, some really bad) we realized that music was the determining factor in most cases; thus, convincing us to commit. • Will a band really appeal to all our guests? Will people dance? – My biggest fear was that no one would dance; we would spend all of this money on a fancy band and people would be wishing they could plug in their iPods and put on dance hits. David quelled this fear a little by showing us videos of prior weddings and the packed dance floors. I was still hesitant (and preloaded my ipod – just incase... needless to say, it was not needed!) Overall review – I couldn’t have been happier with how everything turned out! I will recommend Dave Rothstein Music to all of my friends and family!
- DJ or Band interaction with the wedding guests? Numbers exchanged? good. appropriate!
- Favorite wedding reception song & dance? to many to count!!!

- First dance song? “When you say nothing at all”
- How did your wedding musicians keep the party going? We had two dance floors and roughly 150 guests. I would say that both dance floors were completely full 90% of the time and the majority of our friends danced the entire time the band played. The band largely played great dancing songs and only sprinkled in a few slow songs throughout the night, so everyone was always dancing.
- DJ or Band interaction with the wedding guests? Numbers exchanged? We have had multiple guests tell us after the wedding that it was the best wedding band they had ever heard.
- Favorite wedding reception song & dance? Right after my wife and I had our first dance the band immediately transitioned into "I Gotta Feeling" by Black Eyed Peas and practically our entire wedding reception jumped onto the dance floor. It was fantastic.

- First dance song? Smile by Uncle Cracker
- How did your wedding musicians keep the party going? David Rothstein did an outstanding job of reading the crowd. They knew our wedding was large, so they suggested "Dancing Between Courses" which got the party going immediately and got people excited about dancing the rest of the night. David worked as the emcee which helped make sure things flowed. He helped us make the wedding personal by getting to know us. He was willing to coordinate with my husband who had written a special song for me on the piano so that he could play it and worked with us to dedicate a special song to my aunt and uncle who were celebrating their 45th wedding anniversary that same day. David worked very hard to make the wedding what we wanted and to ensure that our guests would have a blast.
- DJ or Band interaction with the wedding guests? Numbers exchanged? The singer and various musicians came out into the crowd throughout the night to interact with the guests, and everyone loved that! David was also up all night keeping the party exciting and interacting with people to get them on the dance floor. There were so many people that commented to me, my husband and my parents about how fantastic the entertainment was and how much fun they had.
- Favorite wedding reception song & dance? At one point, David got just about everyone out of their seats and on the dance floor to do this dance. People lined up in a horseshoe and followed his lead by doing crazy steps and funny movements. It sounds kind of silly, but it was hilarious to watch, and you could see by the looks on people's face and the laughter that the crowd was enjoying it to.
Review: Best Decision!! Amazing Experience!!

- First dance song? My fiance and I knew that one of our biggest priorities for our wedding was getting the best possible band - a great band makes for a fantastic and fund wedding. We did research into Chicago area bands and David was by far the most helpful and responsive from the start. Our timing was great because soon after we spoke with him we were able to see the band play live at a wedding event - they were awesome and David was so great! After we hired them, David continued to be super helpful and supportive throughout the planning process (unlike some vendors who disappear after they get your deposit!) David's process for getting to know you, whats important to you for your wedding and what kind of music you want is impeccable. So after a great experience leading up to the wedding, our expectations were HIGH - very high! And DRM exceeded them tenfold (which I did not think was possible). First, David does an excellent job emceeing the night - especially in the beginning a lot is going on - announcements, first dance, toasts, etc. But the best part was that our dance floor was packed the entire night - young and old! A lot of people's favorite moment was when the trumpet section came on to the dance floor with everyone! Everyone had a blast and a million people told me that they've never had so much fun at a wedding or that it was the best wedding they've ever been to. And I know these people and they were not just being nice. I attribute 95% of this to David and his band. They are not cheap, but worth every penny - you get what you pay for!!! If I had to do it again all over on a budget, I would hire David, and skimp on everything else. Nothing else is as important as the atmosphere, energy and the fun at your wedding. Thanks David!!!!

- How did your wedding musicians keep the party going? We chose David for our reception music only and it was a very wise investment, indeed! From the very beginning, David was very professional while giving off a "we're good friends from way back" vibe. He was very easy to talk to and do business with. Being a music junkie myself, I personally believed the band was the most important part of my wedding, so I was VERY picky about picking a band. The song selection was endless and their energy while performing was lively and addictive. David worked with me to be sure everything was exactly how I wanted it and even learned some songs that were special to my husband and I. We got married in January and my guests are still talking about their performance and saying how it will be a wedding they will "remember for a lifetime". They helped me every step of the way and made the whole planning process a lot let stressful. David was sure to include important family and cultural traditions as well as family members during their performance. I can not say enough good things about them! You won't regret your decision if you choose DRM, I promise!
