Best Wedding Decision!

Recycle the Day was one of the best choices we made for our wedding, second only to marrying each other! They were a fun, energetic, and incredibly talented band. On top of that, there were numerous things that we greatly appreciated:
- Johnny was VERY easy to work with and had everything organized perfectly. Music was not a worry at all on wedding day.
- The band was very lively the entirety of the show; their dancing and involvement with the crowd made it feel very special and you could tell they were having a blast along with our guests.
- Throughout the night, they included small bits that personalized the reception to us. It kept things interesting along with all of the dancing.
We have numerous people coming to us with complements about how much they enjoyed the band. We would definitely recommend Recycle the Day to anyone looking for a band and plan on going to see them again in the future!

Best decision we made for our wedding!

When we look back at our wedding Recycle The Day is one of the MOST commented on parts of it. Everyone from our wedding party, to parents, to friends can't stop raving to us enough about how much fun they had with these guys! Most people are scared to get a band... with Recycle the Day you are in good hands and that dance floor will not be empty! They were SO much fun! Also... working with Johnny couldn't have been easier. He was quick to respond to emails and answer questions. Johnny seemed to honestly care about our day and wanting it to be special. At one point... the whole band came and introduced themselves to us. They honestly felt like friends at our wedding. THEY WERE FLAWLESS! Cannot give these guys enough praise!

An amazing performance

Recycle the Day was the most amazing addition to our wedding reception. We received so many compliments about the energy and variety of music the band played, mixing classics with more modern Top 40 hits. They were very organized and easy to work with! Recycle the Day truly put on a performance which got even those family members I haven't seen dance out on the floor!! I HIGHLY recommend them for your wedding.

Book them! Don't hesitate!!

If you have a wedding or event in which you want the most fun and high energy bad, book Recycle the Day now!!! Don't wait, make sure you get them booked. We had them for our wedding at Brookfield Zoo and they were fantastic. Johnny was very easy to work with in planning beforehand, we had no problems. His responses were very timely. The bad set up the audio equipment and handled the recorded music for our ceremony flawlessly. They MC'd the reception intros with recorded music and it was perfect. Then they completely rocked the reception. They played nearly nonstop taking one pretty short break in which they had recorded music. Everyone was dancing and we loved it so much! They were also very friendly. I would love to attend anything in which they were playing to hear them rock out again!

Packed dance floor ALL NIGHT LONG!

After checking out these guys at a rehearsal show in downtown Chicago, we immediately hired them nearly a year before our wedding. During that year, Johnny answered countless of my e-mails in a timely manner. RTD ran the music for our ceremony (we provided to them on a flash drive) and then played emcee throughout the night before their big three-hour performance. Their talent, energy, and overall "fun-ness" is unmatched. The entire night, our guests kept coming up to us telling us how amazing the band was. At one point someone said to me, "I didn't know we were going to a concert tonight!". They rocked the house and we had a packed dance floor THE ENTIRE EVENING. At one point, I (the bride) was on my knees playing air guitar with the band. That's how energizing they are! My only regret is that we couldn't have them play longer. Highly recommend to anyone who wants a fun, lively cover band at their event/wedding!

Exceeded All My Expectations!

We can't say enough good things about this band, they were INCREDIBLE & exceeded all of our expectations! They interacted with our crowd, & took our reception to another level. They made us feel special incorporating our names in songs & pulled us & guests up on stage. We had all ages at our wedding and they nailed it on song selections that everyone could enjoy.

If you want your dance floor to be packed all night, book them!!! They aren't just a band they are a show & so talented! They were everything we wanted and more.
