Onyx is the best wedding band in DC!

Onyx provided the soundtrack for our wedding reception in October 2025, and we are incredibly happy with this decision. Multiple guests at our wedding said that Onyx was by far the best wedding band they had ever experienced! We really appreciated our opening conversations with David in the planning process, and they clearly listened to our requests and were very flexible to fit into our schedule of events. We asked for crowd engagement, and they gave it to us with multiple horns on the dance floor and singers interacting with guests! And the quality of the sound and the music itself was so fantastic that we had several wedding crashers who specifically said they were drawn in by the music (thankfully, they exited when we asked haha). We cannot recommend Onyx enough.

Dance the Night Away

Purnell was hands-down one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From the moment he arrived, his energy was contagious—fun-loving, engaging, and constantly hyping us up. He read the crowd perfectly, played the right songs at exactly the right moments, and kept the dance floor packed all night. His advice to us as the bride and groom—to stay on the dance floor with our guests—was pure gold, and we had so many people tell us it was the most fun wedding they’d ever been to. We would recommend Purnell to absolutely everyone!

Great band great people

Created an amazing atmosphere on our wedding night. Couldn’t have asked for anything better. And from an unbiased perspective, we had MANY guests come up the next day and compliment them.

Additionally, they were extremely easy to coordinate with and were super accommodating.

Amazing Night

We love live music and we wanted a great band that could play songs that would give everyone a smile and get our friends and family both singing and dance at our wedding. We hit a home run with Onyx. All that night and for days after, we've received compliments about "our band". They were terrific in every way! Very easy to work with, a huge song list, great male and female vocals, fantastic musicians, and they have a great delivery and stage presence. Onyx engaged easily and positively with us as bride and groom, and they both engaged and interacted well with our guests, and this ranged from aged 15 to 85. We love this band, and are so happy and grateful they gave us and our guests a truly magical night together.

RUN do not walk- HIRE Black Tie!

We booked Black Tie for our 10/31/25 wedding and YEP, they were EVERYTHING we could have hoped for!! I want to book them a thousand times over. Black Tie SHOWED UP as expected and gave us THE BEST dance party ever!! We threw down. Literally the floor was giving way. We were definitely a dance party crowd, but even those who weren’t big dancers, Black Tie had every single guest on our dance floor bumpin, jumping, on the floor, in the air, screaming and singing our heads off. It was like a concert AND a dance party. Their vocals are killer. Their energy is out of this world. We’re millennials and they took us back like we were partying in the early 2000s. We were all so sweaty, they were perfection. I can’t tell you how many of our guests have continued to tell us they were the best band they’ve ever experienced. They all want to hire them! So RUN, do not walk. HIRE THEM!

Absolutely Incredible Energy!

We hired Black Tie for our wedding and are so grateful they made our night truly unforgettable! We genuinely had the time of our lives, and the entire band's performance was spectacular: vocals, instruments, choreography... everything!

They were everything we hoped for and more. We’ve heard from so many of our guests about how much fun they had on the dance floor thanks to Black Tier.

They were a huge part of what made our big day so special and memorable. We highly recommend them!

You must have Spectrum for your wedding!!!

Words cannot describe the incredible job Spectrum did as our wedding band. Their range, energy, and vibes are unmatched by any other bands and I think they were one of the best decisions we made when planning our special day. They did a particularly wonderful job shaping the mood in the room at different points in the evening (an energetic opening set to get people moving, a beautiful collection of softer songs during dinner, and an incredible dance floor). I would hire them a thousand times over and hope that you do too.

Best Wedding Band EVER

I just want to take the time to write a review for Onyx Band - they are truly the best wedding band out there! I’ve been to many weddings with bands and my top priority for mine was having amazing live music. Onyx did not disappoint! I had a lot of very unique requests and they hit the nail on the head with every single one. They went above and beyond what I ever imagined for my wedding band and truly made it an experience everyone is still talking about. I would recommend them to anyone that wants a band with a wide range of music and nonstop energy! You will not be sorry if you book them!

Onyx is incredible

Having Onyx perform at our wedding was one of the best choices we made! We still get compliments on them to this day, with everyone raving about their energy and sound. Their attention to detail was awesome, including the bridal party reception entrances, where they had everyone in the correct order and asked for name pronunciation, their timing of each song and timestamp was executed flawlessly, and they really set the tone for the evening. We LOVED that they were on the dancefloor with us and our guests really made the night a party. HUGE shoutout to David for working with Marc on the surprise Irish jig, and huge thank you to the band for helping them keep the beat when the guests lost their rhythm. We couldn't be happier having Onyx be part of our special day and will absolutely recommend them to everyone we know.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
