BOOK THEM: High Energy, Insane Talent & Incredible!

I'm writing this review as a full-service wedding planner who recently worked with the Starlight Music team for my client's wedding and Allie, Ramon & The entire Starlight Music / Onyx Band are INCREDIBLE!!

I have seen many MANY bands, but none compare to Starlight/Onyx, if you want high energy, insanely talented musicians and vocalists that have top-notch communication AND killer outfits, do yourself a favor and HIRE THIS BAND! You will not be disappointed! They had every single guest up on the dance floor and knew how to read the crowd and give them what they needed.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND TO ANYONE! I can't wait to work with them again!!

The Rhythm Shop is the BEST Wedding Band!!

The Rhythm Shop is, without a doubt, the BEST wedding band. They exceeded every expectation we had. From our very first conversation, they were incredibly easy to work with, listened to exactly what we wanted, and somehow made our wedding more fun and memorable than we ever could have imagined. The dance floor was packed the entire night, and the energy in the room was absolutely incredible from start to finish! They knew exactly how to read the crowd, keep the party going, and make every guest feel involved. What says the most is that we are almost a month married and people are STILL calling, texting, and talking about the band. I cannot tell you how many guests have told us they were the best wedding band they have ever heard. I genuinely cannot recommend The Rhythm Shop enough. If you are getting married and looking for a band, stop searching and book them now. It will be one of the best decisions you make for your wedding!!

Best Wedding Music of all Time!

Starlight Music absolutely blew us away for our wedding! We had The Rhythm Shop as our band, and they were phenomenal from start to finish. Our guests were dancing all night and are still raving about the level of talent and the energy that they brought!

Evan and Michelle were such a pleasure to work with throughout the planning process. They took the time to understand our style, helped us curate the perfect set list, and coordinated everything seamlessly. They made us feel confident and excited every step of the way.

The Rhythm Shop delivered an unforgettable performance that truly made our wedding reception come to life. From the first dance to the last song, every moment was unbelievably amazing. We can’t recommend Starlight enough!

Spectacular!

Rock and Soul Band was simply amazing! The energy from Evan and the band made the reception rock! Evan and his team were so easy to work with, well organized, and 100% reliable. Everyone at the wedding said the same thing: "We have NEVER heard a band this good!" Even our photographer was blown away. She said at one point "I don't know why they are piping in Lady Gaga in at time point. But when I turned around, they were singing/1". We cannot recommend Rock and Soul more highly. Thanks!!!

The BEST band! You won't be sorry!!

The Blake Band stole the show at our wedding!  We are so thankful we picked an incredibly talented group of musicians to make our wedding, OUR party. From the initial phone consultation to finalizing all the details Starlight Music made sure working with them was a seamless process. They made themselves available to answer all of our questions, and take specific requests. They even had a virtual portal that allowed us to completely customize our day and our music list! Denny & the band kept the party going non stop and brought the dance floor to life.  The Blake Band made our wedding feel like a personalized concert leveraging each of their member’s unique talents.  DEF get the rapper, he was awesome!!  We even had a unique request – the father of the bride wanted to perform a sax solo with support from the band.  Denny was so excited and willing to support. He was happy to communicate directly with the father of the bride and made this such a memorable experience for us.  Your guests won’t remember every detail from your wedding, but they will certainly remember this fantastic band.  I STRONGLY encourage speaking to Starlight music and booking the Blake Band for your wedding – we will never forget them.

Incredible musicians and performers!

We cannot recommend White Light Band enough! They absolutely set the entire vibe for our wedding reception. We told them we wanted people dancing the entire time and the band absolutely delivered - our guests did NOT want to leave the dance floor for even a single song! After our wedding we received tons of compliments about how incredible the band was, and they truly went above and beyond to create such a fun and amazing atmosphere. Not only that, but they were very professional, organized, and easy to work with, and made the entire process seamless. The entire band is made up of incredibly talented musicians and performers and they truly helped us to have the wedding of our dreams!

Onyx was incredible!

Onyx from Starlight Music truly made our wedding night an unforgettable experience! Their energy was infectious, and they had everyone on the dance floor the entire night! We received countless compliments from our guests about how fantastic the band was! Their portal platform made the planning process very easy and organized, and their team was extremely helpful. We are so grateful for the role they played in making our special day perfect. We wholeheartedly recommend Onyx to anyone seeking an exceptional musical experience for their event! We’ve already told our engaged friends all the reasons why they should book Onyx and we’re hoping they do so we can party with them again, this time as guests!

Amazing, lively, made the party

White Light Band brought the magic to our wedding, and I can't emphasize enough how their outstanding performance made our special day unforgettable. If you're searching for a wedding band that excels in talent, energy, and creating a memorable atmosphere, look no further than White Light! Mike our MC was amazing to work with before the wedding, and incredible the day of. Their versatility in playing a wide range of musical styles, from romantic ballads to high-energy hits, ensured that the dance floor was always packed. They played our favorite songs flawlessly and even learned a few special requests, making the night feel uniquely ours.

The most incredible wedding band!

Thank you so much to the Blake Band for the most incredible night!!

Literally, everyone came up to us during or after the party to specifically tell us how phenomenal the band was and needed their information. They were amazing with the crowd and just crushed every song they played. We also appreciated how they helped the whole party flow and that Denny played impromptu Grateful Dead during dinner when my dad asked. We couldn't have asked for a better band!

We also appreciate all of Evan and Allies' help these past few months, especially their flexibility when we had an issue with our initial venue a year prior.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
