Look no further! Hire On The Beat! We loved them!!

Where do we even begin?? We found On The Beat through online recommendations. We were initially very impressed with their website and the very high reviews we read from previous clients. Coming from a musical background and family, the one aspect of our wedding we needed to NAIL was the entertainment. We also had guests coming from all around the world to visit Southern California for the very first time, so we wanted to make their travel worth every penny. Our goal was to keep as many elderly friends and family (who would have otherwise gone home after dinner) on the dance floor until the band closed out the venue. During the search, we went back and forth with different bands and DJs for over three months, but for some reason in the back of our minds we just had a feeling that On The Beat would guarantee us the true quality we were looking for with the price we were willing to pay. A few weeks later after our initial virtual interview with Robert and Megan, we decided to make the decision to hire On The Beat. Suffice it to say, they met and absolutely exceeded expectations in all areas. The band was praised all night and talked about even 3 months later!

Robert and Megan made the planning process so easy for us. They laid out the contract for us early on to help us manage expectations for the big day. They also were SO flexible with our wishes. We had hoped to have a close family member play keyboard for the bridal processional. Robert and Megan made that happen without us having to worry about anything. The keyboard and sound was prepared and ready to go with an ample amount of time for my brother in-law to sound check and practice prior to the ceremony. They constantly made themselves available to us to answer any questions that we had throughout the planning process using their seamless client “one stop shop” website. They were also able to accommodate an additional trumpet player within a month of the wedding. One of the aspects that also made On The Beat stand out from its competitors was that they gave us a blank Spotify playlist to let us fill in whatever songs we liked. At the wedding, they performed at least 90% of the songs that we had requested. It was an absolute blast.

To those of you reading this review, look no further for your entertainment needs. Robert and Megan will take great care of you. If you want your wedding to be the greatest party you have ever hosted, HIRE THIS COMPANY!

We are trying to find every excuse to hire On the Beat again, so its highly possible that we might hire them again for our future child’s 1 year old birthday party! HAHA

Robert and Megan, thank you for making our wedding a day we will never forget for the rest of our lives. We appreciate the hard work that your team put on and we will never forget you all!

10/10 !!!!

On The Beat Music Agency was absolutely phenomenal to work with! Rob, Megan, and the OTB team were very professional and ensured to execute on the vision we had in terms of overall music setlist and vibes throughout the night. Our wedding party had so much fun that we were all chanting "one more song, one more song" because we just couldn't get enough. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for helping make our dream wedding come true!

Cardinal Gold - JAW DROP!!!

We cannot recommend On The Beat highly enough! We hired Cardinal Gold (11-piece band) and they absolutely stole the show at our wedding reception. Their infectious energy kept our party going all night long, and our guests were uniformly blown away by their talent and energy.
The set list was perfectly curated, catering to all ages and tastes, and the dance floor was packed from start to finish. For late night, OTB helped us transition to a DJ. The transition was SO seamless and the DJ kept the momentum going, and we were thrilled to see our guests dancing until the very last song.

What truly sets On The Beat apart, however, is the exceptional service and warmth provided by Robert and Megan. From our initial meeting, we knew we were in good hands. Their professionalism, enthusiasm, and kindness made the entire planning process a breeze.

If you're looking for a wedding band that will deliver an unforgettable experience, look no further than On The Beat. We feel incredibly lucky to have had them as part of our special day.

Five stars aren't enough - we'd give them ten if we could!
