Best Wedding Band We Could Have Asked For
We had Republic of Music play at our wedding ceremony and reception in San Diego. The band was exquisite and the most entertaining, not to mention such a beautiful sound. We got more compliments from our guests regarding the entertainment than I can count. I would use them again in a heartbeat for any event their available play list is extensive! Extra love for getting the little girls on stage to sing and dance to Taylor Swift. The girlies are still talking about it!

BEST BAND EVER!!! Must hire for you Wedding!!
We had ROM provide our live music for our whole wedding at the Rancho Bernardo Inn. From ceremony, emcee at reception, all the way to an incredible 8 piece band and after party DJ. Every single guest commented how much FUN they made the night!! Weeks later and guests are still reaching out to say how incredible the band was! The main POC, Tiana is incredibly fun and so easy to work with! They really take every little ask into consideration and customize to fit whatever style wedding you're looking to have. We felt they perfectly understood the energy level we requested and type of music. We had the absolute best night of our lives thanks to them! If live music is something you're looking for, you MUST book ROM!!!

The BEST wedding band ever!
We cannot say enough amazing things about this band — they were absolutely INCREDIBLE! From start to finish, they went above and beyond to make our night unforgettable. They were so responsive throughout the entire process, open to our ideas, and completely willing to accommodate special requests. It truly felt like they cared as much about our day as we did!
On the night of our wedding, they brought the most electric energy, flawless vocals, and incredible production. We’ve been to so many weddings over the years, and they were by far the best band we’ve ever seen (and we’re not just being biased!). Our guests are still talking about how amazing the music was and how much fun they had on the dance floor.
Their professionalism, talent, and genuine enthusiasm were unmatched — they made everything feel seamless and so personal. If you’re even considering them, just book them. You will not regret it! We’re already trying to think of another event just to have them perform again.

The best band in the world
Surreal sound, professionalism, and overall fun. Superb entertainers. No one left the dance floor all night. Kept pace and read the audience the entire night. Totally customized the songs, look and feel in very very detailed conversations in advance of the wedding. We would never ever hire another band. Over the top in every way!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

Republic of music is the best of the best. They are energetic and amazing at what they do. Tiana is a rockstar and the sweetest. I truly enjoy working with them!
Republic of Music was fantastic to work with! I am an event coordinator and their band played at the Rancho Santa Fe Community Center Fundraising Galla. They are incredibly professional and talented. The band members were easy-going, patient, and had great communication with us both prior to and during the event. Our guests always love their performances and we will absolutely be working with them in the future! Thank you, Tiana!
A great company to work with. We highly recommend. Thank you Solace Weddings LLC
