The absolute best

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!

Phenomenal band!

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 millenials 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.

Radio Gatsby - Amazing Wedding Band

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!

Wedding band

This band brought it all. They are incredibly talented. They brought a vintage aesthetic, make your wedding, feel very classy and customize. Noam, the band leader spent an hour or two with is selecting songs playing the piano over the phone to help us select. They are a full service wedding band so we got music as people arrives, love piano for the ceremony which was great as he could pace it to the live alterations of the event. (Ie, slow flower girls etc). The dinner music, happy hour and reception music were awesome. And they also hung out for the after party w switching to dj’ing. I would highly recommend and would live to hire them again

Couldn't have asked for a better experience!!

Radio Gatsby performed at our daughter's wedding Oct. 15, 2022, and they were the best! Under the direction of Noam Eisen, a small group provided music during the cocktail hour as guests arrived. When the reception moved upstairs to a larger space, the full band and a singer performed. Everyone agreed the band exceeded expectations.

On a personal note, I want to thank Noam for the special assistance he provided me. Unbeknownst to the bride and groom, I had rewritten the lyrics to a popular song as a tribute to the new couple. I asked Noam if the band's singer would lead the guests in singing the song while he provided keyboard support. We exchanged emails, phone calls, and even audio files for a week as we planned the surprise. Noam was able to convince me it would be more meaningful if I led the song myself, which I ended up doing, and it was a rousing success that I'll remember fondly all my life. Noam and Radio Gatsby provided me with both moral and musical support at the reception. I'm eternally grateful.

If you're looking for music for your wedding, I wholeheartedly endorse Radio Gatsby for their musical ability, professionalism, and flexibility. Totally awesome!

Radio Gatsby was the perfect choice

We hired them for our wedding, and we're so, so, so happy we did. Radio Gatsby's sound just drops you into a warm night in New Orleans. The vocals and horns were unreal. 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. 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!

Radio Gatsby is amazing

Working with Radio Gatsby was a dream. They were super communicative and direct. They have excellent taste in music and know how to get guests entertained and on the dance floor. They also provided crucial technical support (speakers, microphones, MCing) and were very smooth in their setup and tear down of all their equipment. We would trust Radio Gatsby to elevate any event, wedding or otherwise. Highly recommend hiring this band.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
