#1 Band for Music and Planning.

Choosing the The Riverside Allstars as the entertainment for your wedding is a no-brainer decision and turned our wedding into the greatest party ever!

Kyle and Anthony went way above and beyond, playing the role of wedding planner, coordinator, and music provider. They walked us through our day multiple times to help with the scheduling with the ceremony, cocktail hour, food, speeches, etc. Anthony even signaled our wedding party when walking down the aisle and had a spare mic ready to go when we had an unexpected outage.

The piano-cello combo during the ceremony was incredibly special as they learned multiple songs for us and used their expertise to start, swell, end, and change songs at just the right time. Everyone was caught up in the emotion with no other word to describe it besides magical.

The reception was a banger, with unbelievable talent and charisma that had everyone on the dancefloor. Being singers ourselves, the group even let us take the lead on a few songs (planned beforehand), making it such a special time. Maybe we are just a crazy group, but it was like having a private concert with awesome high energy using modern songs and timeless classics. They were of course willing to take any requests, but otherwise took care of crafting the set lists after understanding our likes/dislikes.

Riverside all-stars are a perfect example of master class performances at an excellent price. If I had all the money in the world, I don’t think I would pick a different group. I highly recommend everyone give them a look and book them before everyone wises up and they are booked out for the foreseeable future.

Don't think twice... Just book!

The band helped us celebrate our wedding and even during the busy holiday season they took it on themselves to make everything personal and perfect for us! They learned new additional songs, provided every additional service we requested perfectly organized and still played an incredible set in a non typical location with a bunch of obstacles. We couldn't be happier we selected live music and added the horns for a full band celebration. Worth every penny and we will immediately book them again for any opportunity we can find. Invite us to yours please so we can see them again! :)

River-Side All Stars Are 5 Stars!

We highly recommend River-Side All Stars! The entire experience from end to end was exceptional! We planned our wedding in four months and were super lucky to secure them for our big day. From the first phone call with Kyle through the online planning process using their online planning guide, everything was easy and awesome.

Kyle did a great job of explaining the process and was very enthusiastic about delivering on our expectations; he was also very responsive to emails and phone calls leading up to the event.

The online planning guide was very helpful and allowed us to be very specific about the "tone" of our wedding - a huge party that started with a nice little wedding! We were able to create a script for the emcee to follow which helped us emphasize how important the DJ/band were to bringing our vision to reality and kept the evening moving along.

Anthony did a great job as emcee/DJ and after the band kicked in, the dance floor was never empty - which was exactly what we wanted! We didn't have any restrictions around song requests and the band was able to give me what I wanted most - old school wedding favorites like the Chicken Dance, Hokey Pokey, Beer Barrel Polka and several line dances (all were DJ during their two breaks) along with music from the 80s, 90s and early 2000s.

There were several songs that I thought were being played by the DJ, only to realize it was the band - including a Whitney Houston song - SO GOOD! This was sentiment echoed by many of the college-age attendees as well! There were many, many guests at the wedding who were very impressed with the band and many said it was the difference maker for an exceptional event.

Such a great night filled with love, dancing and exceptional music!! If you're on the fence about having a live band or a DJ, adjust your budget accordingly and pick River-Side All Stars!
