We got married three weeks ago and our guests are still raving about how we had the best wedding band and most fun dance floor they’d ever seen at a wedding. 45riots was incredible — so impressively talented, accommodating to our requests, and an absolute infusion of energy and fun into the night. The dance floor was packed and everyone was going on and on about the band all night. We can’t say enough good things about them! It was great being able to meet with them beforehand to tell them about our vision for the night, what kind of music we were hoping for, etc. – they assembled the perfect ensemble who read our crowd perfectly and knocked it out of the park. Book them now – you won’t regret it!

This band is absolutely phenomenal. If you’re looking for a band that keeps the dancefloor full all night it’s 45 Riots. They’re not a wedding band, they’re a full on musical powerhouse playing music from across genres and eras. They even mixed our first dance song to play live rather than a recording even though the song wasn’t in their catalogue. They can do it all. The team there is super detail-oriented and kept us informed of any changes and helped us to come up with the perfect combination of musicians for the day. They were a joy to work with.

Just stop. Take a breath. You've found your band. All the reviews are completely true. 45 Riots MADE OUR WEDDING. A live band was the #1 priority for my fiance and I. We were so nervous about finding just the right one, and with our big day behind us, I can confidently say we made the absolute best choice by a mile. Our guests could not stop asking us where we found this band. We are STILL getting compliments days later. Each vocalist and musician performed at the absolute highest level. Everyone is so insanely talented, and they are just brimming with charisma. It also doesn't hurt that they are GORGEOUS people, dressed to the 9's! Our guests never stopped dancing, which was exactly what our dream wedding looked like in our heads. 45 Riots made it a reality. They read the room perfectly and had a set list that pleased EVERYONE. Their expert transitions must also be mentioned: between every song was an amazing mashup that got everyone SO excited for what was coming next. The energy was unbeatable. This band will make your night unforgettable. WORK WITH THEM! -

The 45 Riots team were incredible to work with. From the very beginning of the planning process through the wedding day, they were extremely communicative and made us feel like we were in great hands. Music and dancing were very important to us going into the wedding planning process and after reading all of the amazing reviews and watching their videos, we knew that by booking 45 Riots we had nothing to worry about going into our wedding night. We were right! Their talent is unparalleled, they are able to perform such a wide variety of genres flawlessly. The energy that they bring into the night and the way that they are able to intuit what the crowd wants made for a night that we and our guests will never forget! -

Sophie S. Sent on 06/14/2023Best wedding band I've ever seen
I don't even have the words to describe how good this band is. Candidly, my family had unrealistic expectations, and they were absolutely FLOORED by the exceptional talent of JJ, Bobbi, Jermaine, and the band. At one point a guest confused Bobbi's voice for an actual Whitney Houston recording. They brought the house down and I only wish we could have spent many more hours dancing with them. Plus the producers that you work with during the planning process are SO nice, attentive, and helpful. 45 Riots made our wedding the best night of my life. BOOK THEM! -

There is a reason why 45 Riots has so many 5 star reviews. This band was absolutely amazing to work and made our wedding day unforgettable!
They were very responsive to our questions and accommodating throughout the planning process, and they made us feel confident in their ability to deliver a great performance.
On the wedding day itself, 45 Riots truly brought the party to life! They had everyone on the dance floor all night long and played a great mix of songs that appealed to guests of all ages. We were blown away by the high energy level and the fantastic performance that they put on. The band members are incredibly talented (we had several professional musicians at our wedding and even they were blown away), and they know how to get a crowd going.
The energy in the room was electric, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. 45 Riots created a fun and vibrant atmosphere that had everyone dancing all night long. Their music was perfect for our wedding, and we received SO many compliments from our guests about how great the band was.
Thank you so much, 45 Riots! You guys are simply the best, and we would recommend you to anyone who wants to have an unforgettable wedding reception. -

Shannon Q. Sent on 02/06/2023The best part of our wedding!
The best thing about hiring 45 Riots was looking around when the dance floor was open on our wedding night and seeing literally everyone on the dance floor. Nobody sitting at the tables, nobody hanging by the bar, every single person in the room on the dance floor enjoying the band. 45 Riots is on a different level than most wedding bands; they put on a show that stands on its own. We had an 8-piece band which was perfect for our reception of 150 people; 45 Riots also provided a guitarist for our ceremony and pianist for cocktail hour. Every single performer was incredible and we are so so glad we hired them for our wedding. They know how to get a crowd going and they’ll make your event truly something to remember! -

Hiring 45 Riots was one of the best and (to this day) still talked about decisions we made. They came recommended to us by our trusted vendors, so we knew they’d be great, but experiencing them live at our wedding took it to a whole other level. Each and every individual is a talented musician. At times we weren’t sure if we were at a concert or a wedding - trust all the other reviews that say the dance floor will be packed all night. From a planning perspective, the team is a pleasure to work with. Signing the contract, song selection, timeline finalizing - all super seamless.
Another thing I’ll note - I’ve been to a number of weddings where couples opt for a band yet use a prerecorded song for their first dance and parent dances. Maybe the original version is sentimental, maybe you practiced dancing to the original. We fully trusted 45 Riots to cover our dances and OF COURSE they absolutely crushed it. We were so happy we decided against the original recordings (even though we love them!!). -

Peri P. Sent on 10/23/202245 Riots is the perfect band for any occasion
We used 45 Riots for our wedding and it was the best night ever! We had so many guests tell us it was the best band they have ever heard at a wedding and we agree! Planning and getting ready for the wedding was very organized and helpful. We were able to be in contact with the team at 45 Riots whenever was convenient for us and they always answered quickly. On the day, they played at our cocktail hour and reception. They brought such great energy and sounded amazing. They made our wedding a day that we will never forget! If you are looking for a wedding band to make your big day feel like a personal concert and party, look no further than 45 Riots! -

Adam N. Sent on 09/17/2022Amazing wedding band!
We had high standards when booking a wedding band and 45 Riots exceeded them.
Throughout the planning stages, they were very responsive, offering flexibility and recommendations.
They listened to all of our suggestions and requests, tailoring the wedding set list to our preferences. Beyond the very long list of songs in their repertoire, they layered in some recent releases and learned several songs on our wish list (Carly Rae Jepsen deep cuts anyone?).
JJ and the band were excited to play and were clearly having a good time throughout the event. Throughout the night, guests came over to us to comment on how top-notch the band was - sounding closer to the record than to a wedding band.
10/10 no notes.
