Ramona + The Riot does not disappoint!!!

Ramona and the Riot were hands down the highlight of our wedding (Behind my wife walking down the aisle and me crying like a baby of course!) My wife and I saw this band play in a St. Augustine bar just about 5 years ago and they were so amazing that on that day we looked at each other and said, “If we get married, they have to play!!” Fast forward to 2022 and thankfully that dream became a reality because I couldn’t have imagined any other band, Dj, or any source of noise for that matter taking their place! We had a consultation call a couple weeks prior to the event to cover what we were looking for from a wedding band and they didn’t just deliver…. THEY ROCKED THE HOUSE DOWN!! I saw cousins of mine I’ve known since birth dance like they’ve never danced before in my whole life and the amount of smiles our photographers were able to capture throughout the night was 1000% directly correlated to their performance! Amazing band, even more amazing people behind the instruments, and when they take over the world just know you heard it here first that you should hire them, at any event possible! Also, the guitar player tied my bowtie for me and NO BAND ON EARTH has that kind of service!! 12/10 We and all of our guests were in love with them!

Best Wedding Band!

I would highly recommend having Ramona & the Riot play your wedding or any event. Jeanetta was easy to work with and very professional thought the whole process. She knew how to manage the event and bring the fun. The band is extremely talented and we are so happy we chose them as our wedding band. We had high expectations and they absolutely killed it. From the cocktail hour to the reception, everyone was raving about the band and had a great time. It was truly a special night for all!

Best local band for any event!

As St. Augustine locals, Ramona and the Riot was a no-brainer. They brought excellent energy from the first song until the last. They kept the party going and the dance floor full. They played a good mix of music to please a wide range of guests. Jeanetta additionally brought experience in MCing the evening professionally. Alberto beautifully played solo guitar for the ceremony. They were very accommodating to various requests, even playing our first dance song!

Take me back!

I originally saw Ramona play at a local St. Augustine, FL event 4 years ago and was blown away by their talent and eccentricity. Since then, I told myself that I wanted them as our wedding band.

We could not have picked a better fit for the most special day.
From the initial inquiry in January 2020 to our March 2021 wedding, Ramona demonstrated prompt response time.
They were able to work with our unique needs and play tunes that were perfect for our diverse guest list and idyllic venue.
Cocktail hour started with soft acoustics but as the night warmed up, every guest made an appearance on the dancefloor.

We were so honored that the band was willing to travel to our Islamorada destination wedding. They kept the party going all night and we could not have been more pleased. We strongly recommend this talented, stylish, fun group.

Look no further for your wedding music!!

We first had the pleasure of experiencing this band at my company's christmas party 2 years ago, and we weren't even engaged yet - but we said, we need them for our wedding someday! From that moment we made sure to see them perform when they came to Orlando and then eventually hired them for our wedding that took place this past weekend. No one can stop talking about how AMAZING the music was at our wedding and how much fun we all had dancing and enjoying the fun atmosphere they created with their energy and musical talents. I am over the moon at how amazing our wedding was and so much of that credit goes to Jeanetta and her band. ♥

Very fun reception

I am terrible at planning and was kind of flying by the seat of my pants. The band kept collaborating with my photographer to help me through the reception. It was a lot of fun and I'm glad that they knew what they were doing because I certainly didn't.

Amazing performance!

Ramona and the band were perfect to perform for our wedding. They did an amazing job for both our ceremony and during our dinner. They were all super helpful leading up to the big day and were able to play anything we requested. We definitely plan to use them for future events!

Best band we could’ve chosen for our wedding

They were so awesome for our destination wedding. They felt like part of our wedding family by the end of the trip! Jeanetta has an amazing voice, she is so versatile and grasped everyone’s attention. The whole place was dancing and hiring them was the best decision of our wedding! I recommend them for any event!
