Washington Talent Agency

Our daughter's wedding was the party we so wanted it to be and that was largely because of the energy and music and fun that District Groove brought! Everyone danced and they never stopped - and that was because District Groove never stopped. The music was so good. Every musician brought incredible talent. We loved the way everyone in the band engaged the whole crowd. We really did not want it to end. It was amazing. I highly recommend District Groove if you want high-quality care leading up to the event and then a night you will never forget because the band was so good.

We hired Spectrum for our wedding. Even with high recommendations, they completely blew us away with how phenomenal they were. They were so good, if you looked away you would forget that you’re listening to a live band. Everything from the one-on-one coordination with Ben, to the actual event went off without a hitch. We danced the night away with our friends and family, and it’s all thanks to Spectrum!

Spectrum is the best band EVER! They were one of the absolute highlights of our wedding day. We wish we could hear them play every weekend! Every guest said the same thing—they've never seen a dance floor that packed or that much fun. THANK YOU SPECTRUM!

If you want to have the best wedding reception of all time, then District Groove is your band. This is not your run-of-the-mill wedding band, because they are TRUE performers at heart. A month after my brother’s wedding, we still talk about how phenomenal they were! I didn’t want the night to end because we all had so much fun thanks to District Groove!

Our wedding guests were raving about Spectrum. From props to song selection to keeping the energy up, they did a fantastic job.

WTA and the band 'Onyx' were a critical part in making our wedding reception so special. My wife and I still can't believe how incredible the band was. We had high hopes based on the very positive interactions we'd had with Washington Talent during the booking process, and while reviewing the band's extensive set list, but it's hard to get the true sense of a band's performance from a small teaser video and old cellphone recordings on YouTube.

What we got was a group with amazing energy, phenomenal musical talent, and a real talent for reading and engaging the crowd. Anytime the energy waned or the dance-floor emptied, they had a trick up their sleeves ready to get people refocused.

It was a true pleasure to work with them, and we're deeply grateful for their hard work making our wedding day so special. Thank you!

On New Year’s Day 2025, our family huddled up on the comfy family room couch and spent the entire day watching YouTube videos of wedding bands and college football bowl games! It was a productive day. Our teams were victorious and more important, after viewing hundreds of bands, we all agreed that Spectrum (Washington Talent Agency) was exactly what we were hoping for! (For context, I’m the mother of the bride.) A few weeks later we attended a Spectrum showcase. Even in a studio setting on a snowy Thursday night, Spectrum blew us away with their sheer talent and engaging personalities. We signed a contract immediately.

I can’t say enough about how enjoyable it was to work with the Washington Talent Agency (WTA) Representative, Jake Sherman, and the Spectrum Bandleader, Ben Kaufman, in the lead-up to the wedding. Jake and Ben are both consummate professionals who quickly became friends. They went above and beyond to ensure that our wedding was seamless and perfect.

Our wedding venue was the DAR Memorial Continental Hall in DC. Cocktails in the Library, dinner in the O’Byrne Gallery, and dancing on the gorgeous historic outdoor Portico with a full view of national monuments. Spectrum provided all the music from 5pm until 11pm.

From the moment our daughter and her husband’s wedding began, Spectrum exceeded every expectation. The 9-piece band included keyboard, guitar, bass, drums, trumpet, saxophone, trombone, two male vocalists, and one female vocalist. The remarkable horn section created a full powerful sound and a contagious energy that filled the Portico all night long. The vocalists were beyond outstanding, not only incredibly talented, but also super engaging, charismatic, and full of personality. The Spectrum musicians didn’t just ‘perform’ – they all knew exactly how to connect with our guests and keep the celebration going. The dance floor (Portico) was packed from beginning to end, which was exactly what we had hoped for.

Spectrum’s extensive knowledge of traditional Jewish wedding music and customs made the Hora and other special moments feel authentic and unforgettable! Spectrum truly honored those traditions while seamlessly blending them with an extraordinary mix of music that kept guests of every age dancing. Watching our daughter and her husband surrounded by so much celebration and happiness is a memory I’ll cherish forever, and the Spectrum musicians played a substantial role in creating that magic!

We were especially grateful for WTA and Spectrum’s professionalism, flexibility, and very accommodating nature during the week before the wedding. The weather was damp and unpredictable. They worked closely with our wedding planner (Lisa Havard) and graciously adapted to setting up outside on the Portico without issue. Spectrum’s positive attitude and willingness to accommodate last-minute changes meant everything to us and helped make an already emotional day completely stress-free.

Choosing Spectrum as our band was one of the very best decisions we made for the wedding. They are exceptionally talented, professional, super high-energy, and genuinely passionate about creating an unforgettable experience. We highly recommend Spectrum (and WTA) without hesitation!

Ben and the entire team were absolutely incredible. From start to finish, they created an epic soundtrack to the party of our lives. Every part of the evening was incredible: from the amazing music and atmosphere during dinner to keeping everyone on the dance floor all night long. We heard nothing but amazing feedback from our guests. Everyone had the best time and could not stop talking about how great the band was.

We especially appreciated that they took the time to learn and perform a few specific songs for us, and they absolutely nailed them. Their talent, energy, and professionalism made the night unforgettable.

We truly cannot recommend them enough. Thank you again to SPECTRUM BAND for making our wedding so unbelievably fun and memorable!

The Wave was absolutely incredible and truly made our wedding unforgettable. From the very beginning, they brought such amazing energy and kept everyone out on the dance floor all night. They knew exactly how to read the room, played the perfect songs at the perfect moments, and created such a fun, interactive atmosphere.

So many of our guests came up to us during and after the wedding raving about how amazing the band was. They didn’t just perform, they threw a party. They were engaging, high-energy, talented, and so attentive throughout the entire process. We truly could not have asked for anything better and are so grateful they helped make our wedding such an incredible celebration!

We had the most incredible time with Round Midnight at our wedding. The evening felt like a private concert and the dance floor was on FIRE the entire evening. The band did such a great job curating the set list to maintain energy and momentum throughout the night and the performance was off the charts. Our friends and family continuously commented on how amazing the band was - the biggest possible thanks to Round Midnight for bringing to life the best night of our lives!
