About

Wedding wire charges a fee to feature a picture, so we don't have one -- but boy are we ever real! Check us out on the DC and Arlington bar scene if you're looking for a party, or at turtlerecallmusic.com and facebook.com/turtlerecall if you prefer to do you scouting online.

If you're in search of something besides cheesy covers of "Celebration" and "YMCA" on your special day, then maybe the rock-pop-folk-punk specialists at Turtle Recall can make your wedding epic. We feature medleys and mashups of a wide range of music, like top 40/pop, classic and modern rock, country, 90s, and oldies. Let us know what your general preferences are and we'll lean harder on that genre.

We play weddings and corporate events regularly to nothing but stellar reviews, are down to earth people, and are a real gigging band so we know what gets people dancing!

Turtle Recall--Wedding Band of the Gods

Consider yourself a Gen Xer, Millennial, Gen Zer, or just someone with really good taste in music that's also getting married?

Then Turtle Recall is the band for you. Awkward downtime between songs and shoddy MC skills are nowhere to be found. This band will have you and all your friends shredding on the dance floor wondering yet not caring even a little bit how Steve Miller Band and Weezer can be played at the same time.

From start to finish, Turtle Recall keeps wedding attendees of all ages engaged. One minute, your grandparents will be cutting a rug to a well-known chorus by The Beatles and the next, your younger cousin will be Skanking to Green Day.

In all seriousness, Turtle Recall provides a well-tailored, flexible experience of live music for your Special Day regardless of your musical tastes. They are easy to communicate with, friendly & professional, and unbelievably talented. They're a top-tier wedding vendor at any price point, and you will have the time of your life during your wedding if you hire them.

Turtle Recall is the most fun band you will find, without a doubt. They play rock, pop, country, and hip-hop songs from the 60s-present day. Their medleys are awesome, and the music almost never stops. They put their own touch on each song and make it feel original. The dance floor was packed for our entire reception, and they had everyone singing along and having a great time all night. Every single guest we've spoken with since our wedding has told us how much they loved the band. They are really nice people, very accommodating, learned new songs for our first dances, and even ended our night with a special song for my wife. They are quick to respond and will make sure all details are taken care of before the big day. They even ran the sound for our ceremony. Turtle Recall will make your night memorable. Go check them out in the DMV area and see for yourself. You will be hooked. Hire these guys, they are the best!

Turtle Recall is so much more than a typical wedding band; they actually play fantastic music (a broad range) and people can (and will) get up and dance. Throughout the night our guests asked who the band was and where to find them. We had guests saying that this was the best cover band they had ever heard (in general, not just at weddings) and some guests said they had never danced before or in years, but were having such a good time and loved the music that they could not sit and just listen. The band played everything from the Beatles to Darius Rucker to Walk the Moon to our favorite tv theme songs. The wedding coordinator said she had never done a wedding where the dance floor was packed the entire time that the band played. Hire this band and you will NOT be disappointed. Thank you for a fantastic wedding, Turtle Recall!
