We Could Have Danced All Night!

Richard Brown's team of professional musicians far exceeded our very high expectations. We employed their string quartet for the ceremony, a solo pianist during the cocktail hour, and their 9-piece orchestra for dinner music and dancing. They made every effort to work with the Cantor for the ceremony, they learned our favorite song which was not in their vast repertoire for our first dance, and complied with our request that the music not be too loud during dinner. When the dancing started, we never left the dance floor, we literally tore it up all night. This is not a band that calls attention to itself with a light show or gimmicks, they just play the music you want to dance to, and make the party a blast. We HIGHLY recommend the Richard Brown Orchestra, and hope to have another occasion to hire them again.
