#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.

Amazing band!!

The Riverside All-Stars were absolutely incredible! They tailored their set list to our crowd and played songs that kept everyone up and moving! Coordinating with them beforehand was very easy and we felt like they incorporated our input about song choices and order of events. They're also pros at playing weddings and offered a lot of helpful suggestions to make the music and A/V run smoothly throughout the ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, and dancing.

Could not recommend more highly.

We cannot speak more highly and provide our strongest possible recommendation for The Riverside All-Stars. We recently had RAS perform at our June 2026 wedding in Minneapolis and they were the stars of the night. They sounded absolutely incredible and brought the energy beyond even our wildest expectations. We've had multiple guests specifically text us about the band - with several mentioning they are by far the best band they've ever heard perform at a wedding. We couldn't agree more.

In addition to their stellar wedding night performance - and perhaps even more important for wedding couple planning purposes - they made the prep and planning process truly seamless. We spent multiple hours on prep calls planning with the RAS team - covering every single detail from the run of show and playlists, to setup and tear down.

From the initial interview process to the wedding night performance, you will be hiring an incredibly professional, talented, and thoughtful band that will bring the energy for every minute of your wedding night. Highly recommend!

Best wedding band EVER!

We truly cannot say enough amazing things about the Riverside All-Stars! We loved working with Anthony and the entire band. They were professional, responsive, and took the time to really understand the overall vibe we wanted for the dance portion of our wedding. They absolutely nailed it.
The energy they brought was incredible. We had so many guests come up to us throughout the night (and even after the wedding!) gushing about how phenomenal the band was. The dance floor was packed all night long, which was exactly what we hoped for! At one point, a family member was literally going around announcing to everyone that the band was about to start their second set because they didn’t want anyone to miss it. That’s how good they were.
We also had them DJ music during dinner, which created the perfect atmosphere, and the jazz trio for cocktail hour was perfect.
We would choose the Riverside All-Stars every single time and would recommend them to anyone for any event, not just weddings. They were such a huge part of what made our wedding unforgettable!

10/10 - would recommend!

Anthony and the Riverside All-Stars were phenomenal. They played an amazing set, DJ'd our ceremony/cocktail hour/dinner, and did a DJ set at the end of the night for the silent disco. Our dance floor was full the whole night as they played a good variety of songs that made everyone want to partake. We had experienced them at my brother's wedding and they delivered again for ours! We would definitely work with them again and would recommend to anyone needing a fun, flexible, and energetic band. Bonus - they let me use the tambourine on a few songs which was fun :)

Sarah and Evan’s Wedding

We were recommended riverside all-stars by our wedding planner and the band exceeded our expectations!! They were so easy to work with and they absolutely crushed it at our reception. The music was fun and relevant and the band kept everyone so engaged. I do not think our wedding would have been nearly as great without the riverside all-stars performing. I also recommend adding the horn players for a full experience! I will definitely book this band again. Thank you!!

Use this band!!!!

They kept our dance floor PACKED all night long, and made it such a party! They were so great to work with, and accommodating for songs that we definitely wanted to hear. They learned our First Dance song for us with no problem. They made the whole music process easy from start to finish.

We used them for music during the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception and I would recommend you do the same. We added the horn section to the band - and that was 100% worth it.

Even still we are hearing compliments that the band was one of the best parts of our wedding! They are worth it!

Our Guests Favorite Part of Our Wedding

We booked the band for our outdoor wedding and we are so glad we did! Each guest we talked to said they could’ve listened to the band for hours more, that it was a blast, and that they couldn’t believe they hadn’t heard of them before. Needless to say we are so grateful that they played at our wedding and the added horn sections are an awesome upgrade. Definitely recommend if you want people on the dance floor and talking about your wedding weeks later!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
