Amaretto played at our wedding on October 22nd. I have never in my life been more compelled to write a review. They were absolutely phenomenal and THE reason that people are still talking about how much fun they had at our wedding. Working with David Fletcher was a joy. His responsiveness, flexibility, trustworthiness and confidence made the wedding planning process much easier for me and my now husband. After reading the reviews on WeddingWire and listening to clips on their website, I was confident Amaretto would be great; however, they were even better than I could have imagined. Everyone danced from start to finish... young, old, and in between. Their set list, which we really left up to them, was a perfect mix of classics and current hits. They even took the time to learn 3 songs for us, which we didn't finalize for them until 2 weeks before the event, and they performed them perfectly.

Thank you Amaretto for making our wedding night one for the history books!

Guests thoroughly enjoyed the band. They played music appropriate to the event taking place as well as the time of the evening.

Amazing amazing amazing is all I can say! We had so much fun and guests have told us how much they enjoyes the band at our wedding. It was a total blast and working with them was a complete joy. Highly recommended if you aré looking for fabulous wedding entertainment.

This band was rockin! Everyone was asking me where I found the band. They played a great mix of older songs and top hits. I was still singing some of the songs that they played the next day. People were also impressed by the voices of the two lead singers.

We booked them for a shorter period, and they only took one short break upon my request. They also set up a microphone for toasts. They played all of our requests and kept people on the dancefloor.

One thing though was that we had choreographed a dance for our first dance and the tempo was probably double the tempo in the version of the song that we used. If you are working on your first dance, confirm the tempo with the band.

Overall, great band, great experience. If you want good live music, you can't go wrong. Maybe I'm biased, but one of the best wedding bands I've seen.

Amaretto did an amazing job at our wedding. The entire wedding party was on the dance floor the whole night and no one wanted to stop dancing once the night was over.

We originally scheduled the band for our Nov 6th wedding, but we had an illness in the familiy that force is to move the date to April 2nd, Amaretto moved the date with no questions asked, no fee to move. That was the first mark of how truly professional this band is. Mr. Fletcher kept in contact with us throughout the weeks leading up to teh event to esure that we didn't forget anything. They even learned some songs for us! They provided the Videography and it turned out great. I would highly recommend this band for any event!! The music was very hip and exactly on point. They even provided a 3-person jazz ensemble for our coctail hour. I cannot say enough good things about these guys!

Dear David,

I can’t begin to express our gratitude for an outstanding evening. Having a band of your caliber can transform an evening and it was PERFECT! I don’t think there was one person that didn’t make it to the dance floor at some point in the evening, and at one point, I think we were all up there at the same time. You crossed generations and genres and almost every guest said “where did you find this band”! Of course I couldn’t take the credit, it was the first thing Ken said when he heard Abby was getting married….”you’ve got to get Amaretto”! When I called you and found out that you were available so close to the holidays I couldn’t believe my good fortune. Little did I know how lucky I truly was! My good friend had her daughter’s wedding in November and we attended. They had a huge band from NYC that they groom’s parents provided. Well…she even said to me that you were the best, and she was keeping you in mind when her next daughter gets married! I don’t even recall you ever taking a break, you were all so energetic and in tune with the crowd , it was just incredible! Abby and Scott really enjoyed talking with you at the end of the evening… I know that’s hard when all you can think about is packing up and getting on the road. You really made them feel special and I thank you for that. As soon as I catch up I’m going on Wedding Wire and give you a glowing review.

Thank you for such a magical evening and I will pass your name on to ever bride/person who is looking for an incredible experience. Oh I almost forgot…when the horns came out into the crowd…too good to be true. Abby said that when the horns came out and encircled her while she was dancing, that was the highlight of her evening. Except for the actual marriage ceremony!

Take care and thanks again!

Washington's Best did a wonderful job in capturing unforgettable moments of our 25th wedding anniversary. The videographer "Rick" was flexible and accommodating to video the ceremony and reception. Very professional in their services!!!

Great to work with...got back to us quickly and were very pleasant. We hired the 3 piece Latin Jazz trio for the cocktail hour and they were awesome! At the last minute, we decided to use a videographer and they were available and very friendly.

Washington's Best were a fantastic vendor, especially for the price! They provided affortable, professional entertainment that I had always dreamed of for my wedding. The Acousticats have a great sound, and Rich Amelang was wonderful; a perfect mix of relaxed and professional. It was so nice to have zero worries on my wedding day!

The pictures are fabulous! My Mom and I just relived the wedding and reception through Nenad's camera. 935 pictures of the right setting and people at the right time from the right angles. Sometimes I'd swear he was in two places at once. He's just so good at knowing what works and those cameras are awesome! Of course every one of those pictures could be blown up poster size and still have fabulous resolution. The important shots exist in multiple forms using background blur and different lighting. I really hope he grabbed a bite to eat during the 6 hours because as you can tell he worked tirelessly. I can't say enough about how happy we are and we feel very lucky to have had Nenad with us on our special day.

Washington's Best was fantastic-- my e-mails were always responded to in a very timely manor. They worked with me so they could play even slightly more obscure songs and gave me great recommendations. Their prices for a duet were also better than anywhere else that I looked. On the day of the wedding, my performers were flexible, played well, and were very nice.

The best night of my life! We didn't stop dancing the entire evening. Our guests are still writing to us to ask about the band and tell us how much fun they had!

Amaretto was an amazing band! Everyone, from the youngest 18 year old to the oldest 78 year old was on the dance floor!!!!

Washington's Best provided my videography and ceremony music at my wedding. I have used Washington's Best for my corporate event planning work and they have always been wonderful to work with. They provided me a string quartet for my ceremony music. I worked closely with the lead of the group and she was very flexible on my music selections and also worked with the church to make sure the group and the Church music director connected. The music sounded beautiful.

The videographer did a great job as well. He created a full dvd of us that captured the wedding perfectly. It was so exciting to get to watch back and I didnt realize how much I missed. The quality of the video was great and very reasonably priced.

I would recommend David at Washington's best for any of your needs for your weekend. They are great!

Amoretto is the best big band sound bar none! We have had them perforn at two weddings. Both evenings were knock outs; the guests danced until the "fat lady sang." David could not be more accomodating. He listened to our desires in music selections and even played tunes form the musical Jersey Boys at our request. The trio for cocktail hour played jazz that added just the right background for the gathering. The professionalism of the musicians and the vocalists was unquestioned. How good does it get? You would have to hire Amoretto for your event to find out. Kathy Thomas

We loved this band. They were very accommodating and made for one of the best receptions I've ever been to. My favorite stuff was the older Motown and funk, but they do more current stuff as well. I couldn't recommend them highly enough. Totally worth it.
