RJB is the best!

RJB was absolutely phenomenal and made our wedding reception into the most fun one we've ever been to. And although we may be biased, our friends grooving all night and busting out dance moves that no one has seen before is a testament to this. There was never a lull or boring moment, and the unique riffs and loops the band improv-ed to keep spontaneous dance moments going strong was so fun. They really listened to us, and communicated not just during the prep phase, but in real time to ensure we were intentional with all key moments. The band also welcomed my husband to join them for a few songs on his trumpet, and supported him through every note. Our friends and family were blown away by the surprise performance!!!

We expected some good music but ended up with the fun cornerstone of our entire night! We couldn't recommend RJB enough 🔥

absolutely amazing band

Book this band!! We booked Retro Jukebox Band for our wedding and they were absolutely amazing! All of our guests adored them and we had the most amazing time dancing all night. I had so many friends come up to me and say, "wow the band is really good". The band learned our first dance song for us and it was so stunningly beautiful. It was the highlight of our night and we'll treasure that memory for a lifetime. Retro Jukebox Band is simply unmatched in talent and energy - we'd choose them again in a heartbeat!

Hire this band!!

On a scale of 1 to 10 I would give Retro Jukebox Band a 20! What an incredibly fun band they were. From the time they started playing to the very last minute EVERYONE was up dancing, from 20 year old's to 80 year old's, everyone had so much fun! Geechi was great in encouraging everyone to have a good time, and the band's enthusiasm was infectious. We loved the wide repertoire they played, there was something for everyone. All our guests were raving about the band. I cannot speak highly enough of them. They were fantastic in every way.

Best band we could have asked for

Our New Year's Eve wedding reception was a dream, and a big part of it was thanks to Retro Jukebox Band.

They were incredibly professional and on top of things from the moment we contacted them until the moment the evening was over. We threw a lot of curveballs at them, from a surprise tap dance to a flash mob. To our total surprise, our flash mob recorded song ("I Think I Wanna Marry You" by Bruno Mars) cut out and when we couldn't get the sound back on, Retro Jukebox just picked up the song and played it live!!!!! It was infinitely better than we could have planned or even dreamed of. Wow wow wow.

They played all our favorites based on the list we shared with them beforehand. The guests were raving about how talented the band was. They got everyone dancing and kept the energy high all night long. And it was a long night!

RJB is as good as it gets!

The Retro Jukebox Band was a sincere pleasure to work with. Through covid cancellations, wild fires, etc, RJB was flexible, gracious, and professional. Their musical presence was a huge gift to our wedding day.

Not only did Geechi and his fellow musicians create an unforgettable dance floor experience, they also made our dream vision come to life by taking their instruments in hand and creating a beautiful second line procession from our ceremony site to the cocktail hour. Geechi somehow managed to interweave playing a tuba and a trumpet in the same song for this procession!

We will always remember the love and soulful vibes that RJB brought to our day. We cannot recommend them enough and hope to have a reason to work with them in the future.

Incredible Band!

Geechi and Retro JukeBox Band made our wedding incredible! We worked with Geechi through a wedding rescheduling and so many other changing details due to COVID. Geechi was flexible and collaborative through the entire process and his experience and insights helped bring our vision to life! Geechi was the perfect MC and the RJB music really kept the party going. There wasn't a moment the dance floor was empty until the venue told us it was time to close down! We are already looking forward to the next time we can work with Geechi and RJB!

Talented band with lots of great energy

RJB has played at two events for us and both times they have gotten our guests out on the dance floor. They appeal to all ages and will cater their large song repertoire to your needs. Their sound is fantastic!

Great music that kept our guests dancing

We knew we wanted live music for our wedding reception, and we couldn't have asked for a better band than Retro Jukebox Band. We had some electricity and noise level constraints at our venue, but they were so accommodating and willing to work with us to ensure that we still had amazing music. They even threw in a few last minute requests from the audience that required a little bit of improvisation, but everyone loved it!
