We used the R Factor for our wedding and could not have been happier with them! Everyone was on the dance floor all night long and we got so many complements after the wedding. I would definitely recommend these guys to anyone!

The R Factor performed for our wedding, and they did an AMAZING job. I am the third person in my family to get married, and every one of us has had the R Factor perform, because live music is really important to us. All of our wedding guests raved about this band, and it's still all we can talk about. We asked Emil to learn a couple "special" songs for us, and they did a spectacular job. I provided only a few words of instruction, and they totally delivered. R Factor worked really well with our venue and other vendors and I did not need to worry about any logistics or set-up.

If you want a live band and a great variety of music, there simply isn't a better option than R Factor. Everyone I talked to said that the band was hands down what made our wedding the best they had ever been to. The dance floor was full for the entire four hours they played. They learned two songs that we wanted to include in our playlist and they did them beautifully - including our first dance. The mix between professionalism and incredibly fun was PERFECT and exactly what I wanted for our wedding day.

We were at a wedding and The R Factor Band performed, both for the ceremony and reception. The Band started out with nice slower songs that the older guests appreciated - Sinatra, Tony Bennett, Streisand, etc. As the night went on they got into every hit you would want to hear. From Motown, R & B, Funk, Top 40. They were amazing! The dance floor was packed all night! The guests stayed to the very end and still wanted more. I HIGHLY recommend The R Factor for your wedding. We loved them!

The R Factor is by far the best band to have at your wedding! LOVE THEM! Bands are a little pricier than a dj but it is so worth it when you have the R Factor! Everyone danced and the party did not want to stop when it was time to call it a night. Emil was great, Marsh was so fun to work with and I would for sure recommend the R Factor to every bride!

Overall the band was great! They are incredibly talented and definitely know how to get the energy going. I saw them perform at my friend's wedding and they were so good that we decided to book them for our wedding. My only issue was that during one of their breaks they came out and started making plates for themselves of the food we had provided for our guests. I felt that was pretty unprofessional. Other than that, they were great and I'd definitely recommend them.
