    Crowd Theory / Rogue Radio Review

    Crowd Theory was a joy to work with for our wedding. We had hired their band, Rogue Radio, as well as got cold sparklers and uplights for the event.

    Rogue Radio is the best in the business, by far. The quality of their artists / musicians is second to none, and they all have incredible personalities that come through in their shows. They did such a great job of maintaining the integrity of the songs we chose, but also putting their own spin / rendition that sounds authentic and beautiful.

    I received hundreds of complements about the quality of the live band for our wedding, and my wife and I truly believe it made such a difference in bringing people together with a joyous mood and elevating the vibe of the wedding.

    If anyone ever needs a live band, I would refer Rogue Radio / Crowd Theory's group 10/10 times, they are spectacular and truly made our wedding all the more special.

    Crowd Theory Entertainment's reply:

    Thank you for the kind words, Alex! It was so great to with you and Janey in advance of your wedding, and the band had a blast celebrating with you and your guests. We appreciate you inviting us to be a part of your special day :)

    Cadence was AMAZING!

    Not only was Crowd Theory Entertainment the easiest vendor we worked with, but their band Cadence truly made our wedding day! We knew the band was going to be outstanding from the moment we booked them, but the show they put on for our reception was next level! Their crowd interaction was so fun, and they sang our song requests beautifully. At our brunch the next day, all our guests could talk about was how great the band was. We're still getting compliment almost 2 weeks later. Thank you to Sean and Zoie for helping us plan the wedding party of our dreams, and thank you especially to Cadence for bringing so much energy and keeping the dance floor going all night. I almost forgot to mention the DJ! Crowd Theory's DJ played throughout our reception and also for our after party, and he was amazing as well! He played all of our requested music and kept us dancing until the very last song. It was a night we will never ever forget!

    Crowd Theory Entertainment's reply:

    Thank you so much for the kind review, Jen! Cadence has a great time performing at your wedding! Much love to you and Jaime :)

    Rogue Radio for our Hawaii Wedding

    Rogue Radio was absolutely amazing at my destination wedding in Hawaii. Sean, the manager, and Zoie, the coordinator, were an absolute pleasure to worth with leading up to the wedding. They made the process seamless and the live band at our wedding was so impressive. All of our guests were dancing the entire time. All of the musicians and singers are so talented. Highly recommend working with Crowd Theory Entertainment for all events and especially weddings!

    Thanks for the sweet review, Natalie! We had a blast perform for you and your guests at Kona Village Rosewood. Wishing you and Zach a wonderful marriage together!

    They made our night!!

    We hired Rogue Radio for our wedding and they absolutely brought the house down. We were nervous about not being able to dictate the entire set list but they took our musical preferences and the crowd’s energy to heart and crafted the perfect night of music for us. Our guests are still talking about how insanely talented they were and how it felt more like a live concert than a wedding band- the energy was top notch, their talent is unmatched and we had a full dance floor till the very end of the wedding.

    We also hired 2 musicians for the ceremony (violin and piano) and it was absolutely perfect- they did amazing renditions of two mainstream songs (Lover and A Thousand Years) that added so much elegance to the moment.

    Working with their owner Sean was also a dream as he is incredibly easy to work with, responsive, helpful in answering our million questions and made sure our night will be talked about for years to come! My only regret is that we can’t throw another wedding to dance the night away with Rogue Radio!!

    Crowd Theory Entertainment's reply:

    Thank you for the kind words, Monica and Eric! Rogue Radio enjoyed every minute of your celebration!

    Best Band Around!

    Words can’t even begin to describe just how much fun we had at our wedding, and our band was the reason why!! Everyone was totally over the moon for Rogue Radio. The band was on fire the entire night, and the singers were sooo fun and engaging from the first song through the last. Sean, Zoie and everyone in their organization couldn’t have helped us plan a better night of music and dancing. My husband and I are eternally grateful for Crowd Theory Entertainment for being so wonderful to work with and for totally exceeding our expectations. Thank you all!!

    Can't stop thinking about our wedding!

    We were completely in awe of Crowd Theory Entertainment and their amazing musicians and DJ! We had a two day destination wedding, and they covered every aspect of entertainment including our welcome party, ceremony, reception, and after party. Their DJ, saxophonist, and violinist helped us throw the most amazing party for the welcome event. We were expecting it to be a sleepier night, and it was a dance marathon until the very last song! These musicians really know how to hype a crowd! The next day, our ceremony was truly unforgettable, thanks in part to the beautiful music played by their singer and violinist. They learned the song I walked down the aisle to, and it was everything I imagined it would be and more. Finally, Rogue Radio and their DJ put on the most unbelievable show for our reception. The singers were out of this world talented... seriously, I couldn’t believe they were OUR band and not on some big world tour. They brought the most incredible energy and were true entertainers from start to finish. Their DJ closed the night out with the perfect playlist for us and our friends, and no one wanted the party to end. Guys, this company is a class act through and through. They made sure all of our favorite music and all of our requests were accounted for. They made the planning process super easy and stress-free. And above all, it was the best concert of our lives! Don’t think twice - hire Crowd Theory Entertainment!

    Our Wedding in Wine Country

    If you're looking for the BEST wedding band that will keep your guests entertained and get everyone dancing, look no further! We had our wedding in Healdsburg, and Crowd Theory was AMAZING. It was the best dance party of our lives, and we received so many compliments on the music. We knew from the get-go that we wanted some classics, as well as 90s and 2000s nostalgia (music from when we grew up), and Crowd Theory’s song list was perfect! From the first song to the very last, they made our wedding night. They were also very detailed and attentive during the planning stages, which made us feel totally at ease in the weeks prior. I highly, HIGHLY recommend this band!

    Everything we could have hoped for

    One of my biggest hopes for our wedding was to have an awesome band and a packed dance floor and Crowd Theory absolutely nailed it! Their team was helpful and quick to respond and made our lives abundantly easy from start to finish. We hired a guitarist for our ceremony and Rogue Radio to play at our reception and the musicality and energy was PERFECT for what we wanted.

    According to my mom, "Your dad danced more at this wedding than he even danced at OUR wedding". And that's a big deal! We're super glad we went with Crowd Theory and would strongly suggest it to anyone else looking for music at their wedding!

    Thank you, Ali & Alex! You guys are awesome. Rogue Radio had an incredible time celebrating with you all. Thank you for inviting us to be a part of your big day!

    They made our night!

    Rogue Radio was simply amazing! We hired a 10-piece band for our wedding, and their energy was totally contagious. Our guests were on their feet the entire time, dancing and singing along to every tune. Not only were they talented musicians, but they were also true professionals. They worked seamlessly with our planner and vendor team and were courteous throughout the night. They even took the time to learn our first dance song and played it better than we ever could have imagined. We’ve had guests of every age texting us weeks after our wedding to compliment the band. The Crowd Theory Entertainment team nailed everything from planning to announcements to the performance itself. A truly superlative experience. Thank you for making our wedding day unforgettable!

    Best band ever!

    Thank you so much for such an amazing wedding. Your band made the wedding. They packed SO MUCH HEAT and hit every single song spot on. We were dancing our feet off the whole night, and loved every second of it. The MC Payson was absolutely fantastic, as well as all of the rest of the band members. The singers really went above and beyond. The guitarist also made the ceremony absolutely beautiful.

    The best wedding band ever!

    Guys!!! If I could give Crowd Theory, Rogue Radio, Sean and Zoie more than 5 stars I totally would. Booking live entertainment for your wedding can be super nerve wracking because it's a big investment and such a huge part of the day/night but we have absolutely no regrets and would choose Rogue Radio again and again. Sean and Zoie were extremely communicative and organized, and worked great with our planner. The ceremony music was soooo beautiful and everything we imagined. Most of all, the dance was SO FUN. All the musicians were so talented and over a month later, our guests are still raving about how amazing our band was and how much fun they had. We had a rowdy bunch and they handled everyone seamlessly. ;) If you have the opportunity to book Rogue Radio through CTE, absolutely do it. You will not regret it!!!

    Crowd Theory Entertainment's reply:

    Thanks for the sweet words, Bri! Rogue Radio was thrilled to have celebrated with you and BJ in beautiful Sonoma. These photos are so fun!! And we can't get enough of your wedding video either. Wishing you both all the best : )

    You'll be amazed!

    We booked Rogue Radio [via Crowd Theory] for our wedding and they absolutely crushed and created the most incredible dance floor experience. I was wondering if their videos are highly edited because they sound too good.... they're THAT GOOD! You'll be amazed! They are so good at taking your preferences and building a non-stop dance experience! We had the most incredible party thanks to them! Their team is also easy to work with, kind, professional, clear on what they need to be successful. I could go on. It's worth the money. Go with Rogue Radio. They're exceptional!!!

    Thank you Heather! We are so glad to have had the opportunity to celebrate with you and Fletcher : )

    Five stars!

    We had the time of our lives on our wedding night, and it was all thanks to this extraordinary group of musicians and the whole Crowd Theory Entertainment team. From the gorgeous violin during our ceremony to the remarkable energy and talent in our band (Rogue Radio), every single moment was everything we expected and more. We were already very impressed with the professionalism of the company from the start, but come show time, we knew exactly why we decided to go with this band. Our requests were played flawlessly. The musicians were not only jaw-dropping good, but so friendly and complimentary as well. Worth every single penny! This band puts the PRO in professional.

    A Lasting Memory for All

    It was an absolute pleasure doing business with CTE. We had the honor of retaining Rogue Radio and DJ Malcolm for our sons wedding. They were phenomenal and provided the perfect blend of entertainment that assured everyone who attended truly a night to remember. The evening flew by and left everyone wanting more. Crowd Theory Entertainment and Rogue Radio/DJ Malcolm are the epitome of a class act. Thank you all as you helped provide us with an unforgettable, forever memorable evening.

    Crowd Theory Entertainment's reply:

    Hey Maria & David - thanks for the kind words! Our team is so happy to have been a part of Allegra and Michael's celebration. Please feel free to share any photos or videos you receive. Thanks again for inviting us to be a part of such a great night!

    Why aren't they famous yet??

    These guys slayed it, and we recommend them 100%. If we could have only hired one vendor, it would be Rogue Radio, time and again. They were the dopest people, the most fun and amazing musicians, and best of all, they made our big night feel so special. We had a bit of an odd song request for them that involved some of our family members joining the band. We felt a bit awkward asking but they were so accommodating about it, and they crushed the song! It was the most memorable part of the night hands down (next to one of our groomsman crowdsurfing into the dessert table LOL). The singers, the horn players, the band, all total pros. And they were so easygoing with all of our crazy family and guests. They also nailed every style of music we requested. Modern radio hits, 2000s hip hop (Usher was a must for us), 80s hair bands, and some jazzy songs for dinner. This band should be touring the world!

    Crowd Theory Entertainment's reply:

    Thank again, Grace! The band had a blast at your wedding, and we are grateful to have been a part of it. Wishing you all the best!

    Unforgettable Night!

    My husband and I knew from the very beginning that we wanted music and dancing to be the central focus of our reception. Rogue Radio was the first vendor we booked. We are so very glad that we chose them! To say Rogue Radio is the best wedding band out there would be an understatement. We were awestruck by band’s energy and the music. They deftly handled the announcements, special dances, and all elements of our wedding. They even invited some of our friends on stage to sing “Make My Dreams Come True”. The band was just so incredibly gracious from start to finish. Our wedding planner told us that they were the easiest band she’s worked with and can’t wait to work with them again. Thanks to Rogue Radio and the whole Crowd Theory team for making our dreams come true = )

    Crowd Theory Entertainment's reply:

    Happy New Year, Rachel! Thank you for the kind review. Rogue Radio was so happy to celebrate with you. We are looking forward to seeing photos from the dance floor!

    Non-stop party! This band rocks!

    Crowd Theory absolutely nailed it at our wedding!! They were the perfect band for the vibe we were going for (we are 90s kids and wanted some nostalgic music mixed in with modern pop and classics). From the moment we booked, their team was super helpful and made the planning process so easy. Come wedding day, we danced like there was no tomorrow! The musicians looked like they were having the time of their lives on stage. It was just nonstop FUN. We’ve been to tons of weddings and knew we didn’t want your every day “wedding band” but a band that made us feel like we had our own personal concert. Crowd Theory delivered and then some! The talent in this group is on another level. Don’t think twice: hire them for your wedding and thank me later!!

    Crowd Theory Entertainment's reply:

    Christina and Josh - thanks for the sweet review! The band had an amazing time playing for you all! If the band plays a public event in San Diego in the near future, we'd love to have you both come out for another night of dancing. I hope you had a blast on your honeymoon!

    Perfection!

    Perfection is the only way to describe Rogue Radio. They played at our wedding in Napa, and all of our friends and family couldn’t stop talking about them. We searched high and low for a band that fit our vibe. We wanted a group that was classy but not stuck up, and we wanted a band that would keep the party going all night. They were so fun, interacted with our guests, and kept the energy rocking the whole night. Their rendition of Lovely Day for our first dance still gives me chills thinking about it. Props to the lead singer! Professional from start to finish, their whole team was great to work with. Honestly, if you want a band that’s going to not only bring the talent, but also tons of energy and good vibes, stop your search and hire Rogue Radio!

    Crowd Theory Entertainment's reply:

    Thank you so much for the review and for such a fun night! We can't wait to see more photos and video. We love what we've seen so far : )

    All the best to you and Jarv!

    The Straytones - Amazing Wedding Band!

    The Straytones were incredible!! Our whole wedding party was up dancing the entire night and a week later everyone is still talking about how incredible they were. They were great to work with and we very much appreciate them learning some specific songs we had requested and performing everything perfectly. Selecting the Straytones was, without a doubt, one of our best wedding planning decisions. We highly recommend them.

    Crowd Theory Entertainment's reply:

    Michael and Julie, thanks so much for the review! We had so much fun playing music for you all, and in such a beautiful location to boot. Thanks for inviting us up to Healdsburg to celebrate with you!

    Minds Blown!! Rogue Radio exceed expectations

    Rogue Radio BLEW US AWAY! My husband and I spent days searching for the right band, as music was the most important element of our wedding. So many bands out there just didn't have the "X Factor" we were looking for. We found Rogue Radio, and we were instantly sold. Of course, we decided on the full 12-piece band! The talent in truly as good as it gets. The lead singers sounded like angels on our first dance song. We had a somewhat unorthodox request, and they nailed it! Once the party started, every last person in our group was dancing and singing along the entire night. A particularly memorable moment involved one of the lead singers coming out to the dance floor and passing around the microphone. (We admittedly couldn't sing as well as they can HA!) Shout out to the horns and violinist as well. Just... wow! These musicians are not only some of the best we've ever heard, but they are also such fun and passionate people (the kind of people you want to party with). The whole Crowd Theory Entertainment team was a pleasure to work with from the moment we booked the band. They were attentive, organized, and eager to bring our special requests to life. A huge thank you to Sean and his outstanding team at Crowd Theory Entertainment. We will watch our wedding video over and over again just to relive the amazing night you gave us!

    Crowd Theory Entertainment's reply:

    Thank you Rachel! The band has been raving about how much fun your wedding was. Thanks for being such a lovely couple to work with. Wishing you and Bobby an awesome honeymoon!

    Amazing Band

    Wow! This band was absolutely amazing. They were not only incredibly professional and helpful when it came to choosing our music, but they are all incredibly talented. They are undoubtedly one of the best and most memorable parts of our wedding!

    Thank you Lainie and RJ! The band loved playing for you and your guests, and we especially loved playing your song requests. Thank you for inviting us to be a part of your celebration! All the best to you both!

    Best band evvvveeerr!

    We searched everywhere online drowning in the many videos of different bands and music for our wedding and when I saw the Straytones, the search was over. By the time the wedding came around, I had high hopes and expectations and they did not disappoint, in fact they exceeded them. Not only was the band super professional, fun and the kind of personalities you’d want at your wedding not just as a band but as guests, their performances were incredible from the ceremony to the cocktail hour to the reception.
    We had a duo of musicians play the ceremony (acoustic guitar and violin) and then a trio for the cocktail hour. They learned songs at request for the ceremony and reception and blew everyone away!
    During the cocktail hour my husband and I were far on the other end of the property doing photos and I could hear the music from afar and I would’ve sworn the real Norah Jones was up there singing at my wedding!
    The reception itself was just totally elevated by this incredible group of musicians and the vocalists cannot be beat. Their range is exceptional.
    After the wedding- everyone has been asking me for the bands info so they can recommend them for other weddings/parties and events. I’m already planning to have them come play our first anniversary party.
    I cannot recommend this group and Sean/Crowd Theory Entertainment enough! They bring something truly standout and special to the party- they are NOT your typical wedding band! They are EXCEPTIONAL!

    Crowd Theory Entertainment's reply:

    Wow Kirsten, thank you so much for the kind words! I am very proud to be working with such an all-star group of musicians, and remarks like these make me even prouder. We are so thrilled that you enjoyed The Straytones' music. Congrats to you and Hunter! We can't wait to play for you again at your anniversary party!

    Incredible! Highly Recommend!!

    In short, if you do not hire The Straytones for your wedding, you’re making a huge mistake! They were incredible performers and could not have been easier to work with. Crowd Theory was incredibly organized, helpful, and professional in helping us plan the evening. The electric fiddle was truly electrifying, the band was incredible, and any singer who can nail the high notes of “Take On Me” by A-ha was born to be on stage. We, along with our guests, were blown away by the performance. Highly recommend!!

    Crowd Theory Entertainment's reply:

    Thanks Gunnar and Kelsey! It was a pleasure to celebrate with you and your group. Your wedding was such a blast! Wishing you all the best : )

    Amazing Band!!

    The band Rogue Radio played for our wedding reception and they did an unbelievable job. Everyone was singing and dancing and having a great time the whole night.
    Everyone loved them! It was a great decision to hire them!

    Crowd Theory Entertainment's reply:

    Thanks for the kind review Debbie! The band had such a blast with you and your group. You were so amazing to work with! Wishing you and Alex all the best!

    Best Wedding Band I Have Ever Heard

    Crowd Theory was the absolute perfect band for our wedding.

    The team was incredible scheduling zooms and working with us to make our big day perfect - all in the midst of a pandemic. Our wedding was also in Hawaii... and everything went off without a hitch! The team was incredibly organized and was a breeze to work with.

    In terms of the performance itself, I was amazed. I knew they'd be good, but I can honestly say I have never heard a better band at a wedding (not to brag about my own wedding!). The mix of songs was perfect, and the songs they learned for us were absolutely amazing. Everyone had the time of their lives dancing, and we wish we could have had them for another 3 hours. The talent of the musicians was amazing (shout out to the horns and the guitars!), and having 3 different voices sing was so cool.

    I could go on and on... but please know that you will not find a better group of people to work with, and you cannot book a better wedding band to play at your big day!

    Crowd Theory Entertainment's reply:

    Thanks Jack! We wish we could relive the night all over again. So much fun! Best wishes to you and Jasmine!

    Absolutely amazing!

    I can't say enough good things about this band. I had the pleasure of working with this incredible team on a wedding that I planned, and they were absolutely amazing. Every performer was on point, from the guitarist, to the MC, to the DJ, the entertainment was a hit! Crowd Theory crushed it. Amazing job! Looking forward to working with you guys again!

    Microwedding

    Straytones were recommended to me by a friend. I really liked the energy and vibe in their demo video. Sean was reasonable, kind and responsive when communicating with him. They learned 3 of our favorite songs to make the evening special. And they brought a pianist in to play with them since we had a piano. It was a small microwedding so we opted for a 4 piece set that didnt include drums. However, I highly recommend the drums most because it keeps things upbeat and the party going. My only regret was not including that 5th person on the drums. But that was no fault of theirs.

    Crowd Theory Entertainment's reply:

    Hey Brooke, thanks for your kind words! It was such a privilege to get to play for you and Ardy and your guests. You all danced with the energy of a full-sized wedding! "Cheerleader" was stuck in all of our heads for weeks after your wedding. Thanks again for choosing us, and we hope we get to see you and Ardy again soon. Best wishes to you both!

    Incredible to work with

    Updated : As a follow up to my previous review, Crowd Theory was absolutely incredible at our November 2021 wedding. From the ceremony sound set up, to the perfect dinner music, to the most fun and memorable dance party long into the night, CT set the tone and brought all the right energy to every moment of the day. Sean was exceptional to work with you from start to finish, and the DJ and band were so talented and such pros in knowing exactly what the guests wanted to hear. We were blown away and truly hope to get to experience CT again soon. We highly recommend them for any wedding or special event.
    --
    I have been in contact with Sean of Crowd Theory Entertainment for over a year now regarding our upcoming wedding, and he has consistently been helpful, patient, kind, knowledgeable and enthusiastic.

    The band was one of our top priority vendors in order to set the tone of our wedding - which will mostly consist of family/friends who love to dance - and Crowd Theory's professionalism, passion, dedication and ease of communication made them the absolute perfect choice! Not only are they truly incredible to work with through every step of the planning process, but they also have energy and talent as musicians that are palpable.

    We can't wait to celebrate with Crowd Theory at our wedding in Spring 2021!

    Blown away

    This and is perfect! From the second they started playing the dance floor was full. We needed a bigger dance floor! They read the crowed and had us dancing all night! We didn’t want it to end! Everyone raved about them for days to follow. we had people threaten to get divorced just to remarry and hire this band! We loved it! Thanks for making this the wedding of our dreams!

    Crowd Theory in Mammoth

    Simply amazing! Crowd theory was soooo good! Sean and the band are absolute pros. I think we received 10000000 compliments from our guests on the band. One of our wedding coordinators wanted all their info so she can refer future clients to them. The staff working our wedding kept saying that they were blown away by the band. I can’t say enough about the whole experience of dealing with Sean and the band.... absolutely a pleasure. Basically you are blowing it if you don’t hire them! Look no further, I promise you... thank you Sean and Crowd Theory for making our wedding such a success!!!

    Made our wedding day!

    We hired Crowd Theory on relatively short notice for our wedding in North San Diego (they willingly travelled from LA for us) & was very easy to communicate with! I requested two songs for me and they pulled through with so much professionalism! My wedding had no dancing and so I was worried the guests might be bored, but CT took into account any request I had with regards to the timing, vibe/feel, and kept the guests entertained from start to finish! You won't regret hiring Crowd Theory! Thank you Sean for being so great to work with :)

    Crowd Theory was magnificent

    I mainly coordinated with Sean over phone and he was very professional and courteous throughout the entire process. My wife and I wanted to sing a duet at our wedding and he even offered a complimentary practice session =) The band was great live (even better than the promo videos) and got everyone on the dance floor. They were great for ceremony as well. Just all around a classy, versatile bunch. Would highly recommend Crowd Theory to anyone looking for a great band for any occasion.

    Thank you Sean and Crowd Theory!

    We could not be more pleased with choosing Crowd Theory as our wedding band! So many people came up to us and told us how much they loved our band and the songs they played. From classic hits to modern pop songs, they built a set list that catered to wedding guests of all ages, including the iconic Brown Eyed Girl and Last Night by the Strokes (a personal favorite!) They also did a wonderful job at our wedding ceremony and even learned an instrumental version of "I Want To Hold Your Hand" by the Beatles just for us. It made our ceremony so special. Thank you Crowd Theory for everything! We wish we could relive the day all over again.

    The dance floor was full the entire night!!

    Simply amazing! This band was everything we wished for and more. We could hardly fit everyone on the dance floor! They learned a few songs for our first dance and our dances with our parents, and they played them all beautifully. If you want a band that will make your dream wedding come true, don't look any further and hire Crowd Theory. Thanks to all of you for making our night one we will never forget!

    Loved the straytones!

    My husband and I were looking for a dance band that was awesome, dancey & energetic. We found the Straytones and immediately knew they were our band! Sean worked famously with us, letting us choose between electric or acoustic and a 3, 4, 5, or 6 person band. Of course, we picked the full 6 person band. First, three of the bandmates played acoustic music during our cocktail hour. The violin was beautiful! And come party time, the full band played the greatest set of songs and had everyone dancing the whole night. We couldn't have made a better choice. Hire this band and don't look back!

    Great energy, outstanding performers - The Straytones made our night!

    The Straytones were as good as we could have ever hoped for. We had 150 people at our wedding and felt like they could have entertained thousands with their energy. We liked their video and song list and after communicating with Sean, knew they were the right choice. Even though the lead singer was unavailable they had a backup who brought it just as strongly. The musicians are very strong and it looked like they had as much fun as the attendees. And the requested songs were played in such a nice style. Thank you so much for being our perfect wedding band! It's been 2 weeks and people are still commenting about it :-)

    We hired The Straytones for our wedding, and they were fantastic

    They were a fantastic band for our wedding, everyone at our wedding was up and dancing when they started playing. Their unique style and acoustic sound made for an excellent experience. The singers have an amazing voice and sound exactly as the video on gigmasters, what you see is what you get and more! They also played during the cocktail hour and everyone at our wedding commented on how great they were and asked how we find them. We would definitely book them again for any future events where we would need a band to play.

    This band was fantastic. Very professional, musically talented, great look to them all and everyone came up to us at our wedding commenting on how good they are. They are great at VG'ing the wedding as well. The venue was at The Villa San Juan Capistrano, which was fitting to their style. Great job!!! Couldn't have asked for a better band.

    A FANTASTIC band, they gave our event a really great, fun atmosphere, everyone LOVED dancing to their tunes all night. Their music choices for our wedding were perfect and they were all hugely talented! Book them quick before they realize they've hugely underpriced themselves for the LA market and their massive talent!! ;)

    Love The Straytones

    These guys were the best. They were on time, professional and extremely entertaining. Having been in the music industry myself I can say I would recommend these guys for any party or event. Everyone commented on how much fun they were and how talented they were as musicians and entertainers. We couldn't have had a better experience at our son's wedding. If I ever have the need to hire a band again they will be my first choice. Thank you Straytones for an extraordinary evening. All the best, Jim Jowett

    Exceeded expectations

    My husband & I did a ton of research for each vendor we chose. I’m talking excel charts and spreadsheets galore. We talked to at least 6 bands before Crowd Theory. A work colleague of mine recommended them because she had used them for a charity event. Once we heard their music and started communicating with Sean, we were sold. When I say you NEED to hire Crowd Theory right now, I mean it. Stop looking at bands because they are it for you. Even 7 weeks later, our guests are still gushing about how amazing they were, as are we. The day of the wedding my husband and I were over the moon about them, they sounded incredible. Sean is amazing as well. From the beginning he was so easy to communicate with and was so willing to work with us on what we wanted for both the ceremony and reception. He’s the coolest guy- like someone you want to be friends with afterwards. They exceeded our expectations to the nth degree. We are so grateful to Sean and Crowd Theory and could not have imagined having any other band at our wedding. We have had so many people tell us our band was out of this world and we couldn’t agree more. I want to have another event just to hire them again. You need to hire them. You will not be disappointed

    Rogue Radio's the best!


    This band ROCKS! So happy we chose Rogue Radio for our wedding : ) We still have guests calling us asking about the band. They learned our first dance song request, and we didn't know what to expect since we hadn't' heard the band play the song beforehand, but they played a version of the song that was ever BETTER than the original! 5 stars across the board for this amazing band. Thx Sean and Crew!!!

    My go-to band! They're the best.

    Rogue Radio is the best 9 piece band I’ve ever hired & I hire a lot as an event planner. They go above and beyond and have such a positive attitude. They are young, attractive, energetic, and sound AMAZING! It was an elite wedding for 250 guests in Malibu for in a huge property and they nailed the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. They were accommodating in every step of the way and the band lead Sean went above and beyond for over 3 months to get on phone calls with the couple and myself to make sure every detail was perfect. This is the band you want without a doubt, they are my go to from on!

    Fantastic band - absolutely recommend!

    We booked the Straytones for our wedding in Dana Point last week and being really unsure on what we wanted or what to expect, were a bit nervous knowing that entertainment can make or break an event! We did not need to worry.. From the responsiveness of Sean with our back and forth communications in the months running up, to the OUSTANDING performance laid on by the entire band we would have no hesitation in recommending the Straytones to anyone and everyone we know. Our guests were up dancing and singing the whole night and I have to give thanks to them all for making the night so great! Thank you Straytones and good luck for the future! Emily and Rogan Egerton

    Hire The Straytones!!

    They absolutely made the entire wedding!! I'm convinced that even if I didn't show up the wedding would have still been a hit haha. They made the night so incredible and it made us so happy knowing that everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves! Our night would not have been what it was if we hadn't hired the Straytones! Don't think twice about it, just book them!!! It'll be the best decision you make!

    Rogue Radio made our wedding night!

    social media videos don’t do this band justice. They are excellent musicians (including a horn section and cellist), with several gifted singers, and a have a vast array of song choices. They allowed us to select a play list for our wedding reception. From 80’s hits to Bruno Mars, the dance floor was always packed for the entire two hours. Compliments and accolades from our guests came throughout the performance and into the next day. Book them now !!!

    The Straytones were exceptional, with high praise from our wedding guests (all-night dancers & outside listeners).

    We were thrilled by their unexpected song choices, outside of lists of songs that they sent us beforehand (upon which we were given the chance to veto 8 songs and insist upon 12 particular tracks), and their willingness to accommodate us all round. They learned (as standard with their regular package) 3 songs and we were delighted by excellent interpretations of our first dance ('The Book of Love' by the Magnetic Fields - which they gave some lovely fiddle improvisation to, as we hoped for) and Grace Petrie's 'Northbound' (which they gave a Johnny Cash-esque stomp), in particular. But they also agreed to perform the hora for us, which was above and beyond their agreement with us, but they were happy to do it which was lovely.

    As a former music journo, I have seen many live bands & the bride is a musician too, so it's impressive that the band exceeded our expectations. Their setlist selection, pace, style & enthusiasm, willingness to gauge the audience & ricochet the energy around the room all made them the perfect choice for us and for our guests. There was plenty of dancing, singing and enjoyment had by all. Even those for whom a live band was too loud were impressed and enjoyed by what they heard from outside while chatting with fellow guests and made a special point of saying so to us afterwards.

    All in all, the Straytones are exceptional and although we knew they would be good (at the very least), we wren't prepared for just how much they brought to our evening. Really highly recommended.

    Crowd Theory Entertainment's reply:

    Hi Brad and Rosalyn,

    Thank you for the kind review! Your wedding was such a blast, and you and your guests were such a pleasure to perform for. You could not have picked better song requests for the band. Northbound was a fun song for the band to learn! We felt honored to be a part of your beautiful celebration, and we hope that we get to see you again at another event in the future. Warmest wishes to you both, and congratulations once again!

    Worth Every Penny

    We were married at the Four Seasons in Las Vegas on their Press Patio. It was a lovely evening ceremony and the weather was beautiful for an outdoor ceremony.

    We wanted music and decided on a live band over a DJ for many reasons. So, I searched and scoured the web for many hours and days until I found the Straytones (by Crowd Theory). This is exactly the band that I was looking for. They do all acoustical covers of some of the greatest songs of our era... and man... do they sound awesome!

    Now, being the Four Seasons, they have a decibel level that we had to work within. But since the band was non-amplified and all acoustical, it all worked out really well and we had no issues whatsoever. That doesn't mean you couldn't hear the band... it just means it wasn't deafening and was at a perfect level for dancing, socializing, and enjoying the live music.

    We coordinated with Shaun, the band manager, and then handed over his information to our wedding planner at the Four Seasons. They were setup and rehearsing about an hour or two prior to the event. Our wedding planner was so excited she came and found me before things kicked off and told me that the rehearsal sounded amazing... she was really excited to see them play.

    The band was such a hit, the wedding planner at the Four Seasons asked for their information to refer them to other hosted events and one of our guests wants to hire them to fly out to Virginia for one of his private hosted events. They were definitely the hit of the wedding and something that everyone is still talking about weeks later.

    We had the five piece band plus the mandolinist (which was optional). It was definitely the perfect band for the perfect evening and worth every single penny we gave to them. In fact, my wife wants to renew our vows in 5 years at the Four Seasons and invite them back. LOL!

    Crowd Theory Entertainment's reply:

    Hi Steve,

    Thanks for the awesome review! We had such a fun time performing for you and your guests. One of the questions The Straytones often get is--"can we still dance in spite of it being acoustic?" And as you all could see firsthand... the answer is a resounding YES! You and Ella were an incredibly gracious and welcoming couple, and we were proud to be a part of such a beautiful celebration. If you're ever back in Las Vegas and need a band, The Straytones will be there! Best of wishes to both of you, and much love from all of us at Crowd Theory Entertainment!

    Hire them. NOW.

    I can't say enough good things about them. From the get go we knew that we wanted a live band and we required one that had a ride range that had its own unique sound and Crowd Theory (the Straytones) totally delivered. They're incredibly talented and their energy was amazing! Everyone danced that night and nearly every guest made a comment about just how great the band was (and I was asked all night 'how did you find them?!'). From beginning to end, they were the utmost professionals and worked with us to curate our perfect event. They even learned a new song for our first dance and it was more than we could have asked for. They really went above and beyond.

    Crowd Theory Entertainment's reply:

    Hi Shaun and Megan,

    Thanks so much for the very kind review! We had such a good time at your wedding, and we are thrilled to know that you and your guests had fun! On behalf of the band, wishing you both a beautiful marriage!

    Best Wedding Band Ever

    Crowd Theory played my wedding in San Diego over Labor Day Weekend and they absolutely made the event! These guys are legit professional musicians! I've never seen a dance-floor so packed in my life. From pop hits to alt rock to dance to classic rock, every song was amazing. They are incredibly flexible (they will learn--and nail!--various special songs for you) and know exactly the type of music you are looking for.

    I cannot wait to book them to play another party. If you are reading this, and you want a rocking and unique dance-floor experience for your wedding/party, look no further and book these guys before someone else does!

    If the Straytones aren't the number one wedding band in America I don't know who is or who else would deserve the title.
    There isn't enough room on the page for me to say just how excellent the band is and the same goes for Crowd Theory Entertainment in general. I have worked in the music industry for twenty years and have seen every kind of cover, tribute, event, and wedding band, so I knew exactly what I didn't want for our wedding. What my wife and I wanted was a band that could play all the hits (from several eras) but have the feel of a true, original band, not a group of pieced together musicians that mindlessly play through songs every weekend. We got exactly what we wanted with the Straytones. The musicianship of every player (Sean on guitar & vocals, Heath on lead vocals, Vito on violin, Greg on drums, Frederico on bass, Glenn on sax and Dan on trumpet) was Top Par, studied, but fresh. This may be a dated reference, but at many points throughout our reception night I had flashes of the movie The Blues Brothers because of the pure energy and talent of the cast of musicians on stage. They blew the roof off, and no pair of feet was spared the uncontrollable urge to DANCE! I could go on about how the band's unique instrumentation lent itself to a sound so natural, joyful and rocking that the music almost took on "spiritual" undertones, but I suggest just watching their video and imagining how your friends and family will react to hearing it for the first time.
    The guys learned three songs for us by request including one that was an original which I wrote for my wife as a surprise, and they played all of them perfectly. The band graciously allowed me to join them on stage to play the original song . Most people may not understand the tricky position a band is put in when someone asks if they can sit in or jam with the band, much less asks the band to learn a song that has never been heard by anyone before. But Sean did not flinch and was so supportive.

    Oh man, what to say about the Straytones......I can only say that they absolutely made the entire wedding!! I'm convinced that even if I didn't show up the wedding would have still been a hit haha. I'm still getting phone calls asking for the name and contact info for our wedding band. I was a little worried at first, because I hadn't heard them live and had only seen their promotional video. It also took a lot for me to let them create their own set list and to trust their expertise, but all I can say is wow and I'm glad I did!! All I said was, I like soul and oldies with a few modern songs scattered in between. They came up with the perfect set list, which I'm sure works with almost every wedding!! I don't think people stopped dancing once (well except for when my maid of honor broke a beer bottle on the dance floor). I also, added the mandolinist and female vocalist. I'm so so so happy I did this, because both were incredible! One of my favorite memories of the night was my little 9 year old cousin getting up on stage and playing the mandolin (he thought the mandolinist was so cool!) They were great at emceeing. They got everyone's names right, made it fun, and kept everything on schedule. We had some pretty talented musicians as wedding guests and they were all amazed at how great the band was. We had people telling us it was the best wedding band they've ever heard. This all made the night so incredible and made us so happy knowing that everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves! Our night would not have been what it was if we hadn't hired the Straytones! Don't think twice about it, just book them!!! It'll be the best decision you make!

    The Straytones played my wedding and it was the best! They played the ceremony, the cocktail hour and the reception. The band was absolutely amazing and they couldn't have been nicer. From planning the music to hearing it on the day, it was a wonderful experience. Hire the Straytones! I will hire them again next time we have a big event.

    Crowd Theory was my wildcard vendor - meaning I had only talked to Sean on the phone and seen the band's videos on YouTube when I booked them for my wedding (instead of seeing them live for myself first) - and they ended up being one of my favorite vendors, hands down. I had the absolute best time at my wedding and Sean and the band had a large part in making it the most memorable and best dance party of my entire life. I actually danced for two hours straight instead of talking to my guests and have zero regrets about it. They played such fun sets and had our guests on the dance floor the entire night. Even the catering gals were dancing in the kitchen to the songs! The level of talent and professionalism I got from Crowd Theory exceeded all of my high expectations and I want to get married at least every year just so I can have them back.

    On a logistical note, Sean was fantastic at communicating with me through the entire planning process. He was great at working with me and my day-of timeline and even had the band learn a song for our ceremony processional and reception. Everything about working with Crowd Theory went extremely well, even when our timeline got a little thrown out of whack because that's what happens on your wedding day.

    It's been a week since the wedding and our guests are still raving about the music at the wedding. We've had multiple guests ask us for Crowd Theory contact info as they want to book the band for their own personal/corporate gigs. Crowd Theory definitely made my wedding and I could not be happier with them from start to finish.

    I had the pleasure of working with Sean and his band Crowd Theory Entertainment for 2 weddings in San Diego. Sean was very responsive thru out the entire planning process, emails were generally answered within an hr.
    Crowd Theory provided ceremony, cocktail and reception music and everything was on par, music was top notch and vocals were strong and accurate. They arrived all arrived early to set-up and was always ready before the contracted time.
    For the 1st wedding they were on the floor since the room was small and it sounded great, for the 2nd wedding we had a larger space so we built them a stage to showcase the impressive 10 piece band with a horn and string section. Sean was so easy to work with, no demands of any kind. They didn't have a 10 page list of demands for the green room, if there was a room it was great, if not, they didn't complain.
    Can't recommend Sean and his band enough, professional in corresponding, professional in appearance and delivered top-notch music to keep everyone dancing from beginning to end.
    Look forward to working with you again Sean and team.

    We had Crowd Theory play at our ceremony and reception and they were phenomenal. We could not have chosen a better band. We were in constant communication for the months leading up to the wedding, they arrived at the Venue early and were a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend you choose Crowd Theory for any event.

    Best advice... book them! You will not regret it. Crowd Theory traveled all the way from southern California to our remote ranch location on the central coast. They went out of their way to customize our first dance song (I'm Gonna Be/500 miles by the Proclaimer's) and it was PERFECT. They are willing to work with whatever requests you have and they follow through. All of my wedding guests were raving about Crowd Theory! So happy I found them and we booked them up when we did.

    BEST BAND EVER! Crowd Theory was AMAZING and I would recommend them to ANYONE for ANY event. Honestly, you can’t go wrong. They killed it!

    When planning a wedding, it’s stressful enough dealing with vendors, but Sean was so helpful, friendly and easy to correspond with. He was very punctual in his responses and so accommodating to our needs. There was never an issue whatsoever.
    Now, for the day of our wedding, Crowd Theory deserves some sort of award. The night before the wedding, Sean got appendicitis and had his appendix removed. The next day, he left the hospital earlier than he was told he should so he could be there to play guitar for our wedding ceremony. And he was AWESOME. Clearly he’s extremely talented if he’s able to play after undergoing surgery less than 24 hours prior. Not only that, he and Allison learned how to play a song especially for our ceremony. It meant to have them do that.

    Unfortunately Sean didn’t feel healthy enough to stand, sing and play at the actual reception (and I don’t blame him), but he was able to hire another singer (last minute) to share lead vocals with Allison. They brought down the house. Every one of our guests loved them and told me how amazing the band was. I can’t thank them enough for making our wedding so special and memorable. If they can succeed under those kinds of obstacles, I don’t think there’s anything they can’t overcome.

    Honestly, book them now. They’re extremely talented. Their music selection is awesome. The band is full of great people. And if anything is thrown their way, they rise to the occasion and overcome it.

    Thanks again Crowd Theory. You made our wedding the best day ever and we are forever grateful!

    Crowd Theory did the most phenomenal job performing for my wedding! They were extremely professional, yet personal and were incredibly invested in my vision for their performance and completely customized it to fit my needs! They learned a special song to sing while I walked down the aisle, and harmonized like angels! Guests told me later that was when everyone began to cry. My walk took longer than expected, and they improvised seamlessly! It actually turned out even better! Talk about quality musicians! I was so so happy to have worked with them. They are super cute too! Easy on the eyes, which always helps when performing for crowds. :) I would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone wanting a special and one of a kind customized experience with their band. For any event big or small, these are you guys!

    Review (WeddingWire): You guys were awesome!!! Thank you Crowd Theory! I’ve been a wedding planner for many years, and rarely have I encountered such a hard-working, easy-going, and fun band. They played the ceremony (with violin & piano), cocktail hour, and then the reception, and they sounded like 3 entirely-different but equally-as-talented bands for each part of the celebration. What a treat. I can’t wait to work with Crowd Theory again!!

    Crowd Theory Entertainment was hands-down, no doubt, the BEST decision we made for our wedding. We wanted a fun acoustic band to play our ceremony and reception, so we booked their band The Straytones. Our mouths were gaping at the talent on stage! We wanted a bigger ensemble, so Sean suggested a 6-piece band with male & female lead vocals, and the end result was a night full of gorgeous music and dancing. The two singers in the band were unbelievable together. Everyone kept coming up to us asking how we found our band, and since the wedding, we’ve gotten several calls asking for their information. Dancing to the Straytones amazing music was by far the highlight of the night. Thank you Sean and company for being so professional and for making everything so easy & fun!

    I was extremely pleased with my experience working with Crowd Theory. Though there were a fun and hip band... exactly what I wanted for my wedding, they upheld a sense of professionalism and tact every step of the way. They were incredibly responsive and eagerly took on extra jobs like serving as our MC for the night, and making sure the space was clean. I could count on them to make sure everything was working, and they successfully problem solved when it wasn't. They put together the perfect play list, keeping things upbeat and fun for most of the night, while weaving in a few slow songs when people needed a rest. I know Crowd Theory will make your event perfect!

    5 stars across the board! My friends and family haven't stopped raving about this band since our wedding. There are a few musicians in my family, and the band agreed to learn a requested song that my family could jam with them on. It was such an amazing moment that we'll never forget! From ceremony to reception, everyone marveled at their skill as entertainers. I can't wait to throw another event so I can have them back! No doubt the best decision of our wedding. You guys rock!!

    My husband and I were looking for a dance band that was awesome, dancey and energetic but not crazy loud. We found the Straytones and immediately knew they were our band! Sean worked famously with us, letting us choose between acoustic or electric and a 3, 4, 5, or 6 person band. Of course, we picked the full 6 person band. First, three of the bandmates played acoustic music during our cocktail hour. The violin was so beautiful that it had some of our guests in tears! And come party time, the full band played the greatest set of songs and had everyone dancing the whole night. We couldn't have made a better choice. Hire this band and don't look back!

    I hired the Straytones for our reception and it was the best decision we could have made for our wedding day! They were so fun, friendly and flexible. The singing was amazing and the violin was, well, gorgeous! ... do I need to say more?!

    The band was full of talent and the process was easy and exciting from booking through their last song of the night. They were quick to answer all of my questions and made me and my husband feel very special on our big day. We had a very mixed crowd of people of all ages at our wedding, and all of them loved their diverse song selection. Let's put it this way... someone's gonna have a lot of work cleaning up all those scuff marks on the dance floor! Thanks guys!

    LOVE this band!

    For my wedding, I wanted something with a different flair - something non-traditional. The band offered a guitarist and violinist for my ceremony, and at my request, they even wrote a special arrangement of “Thank You” by Led Zepplin for the procession. It blew everyone away! Sean was so easy to work with and ultra accommodating. I was beyond impressed.

    Topping off the wedding, the entire band then dazzled us at the reception playing an awesome collection of old-school songs
    and pop hits, all with violin and acoustic instruments! They had everyone dancing and rocking out until the early hours of the morning. Heath had an amazing voice--he could sing anything from Stevie Wonder to Adele!
    This band's energy literally made my entire wedding! Thank you so much Straytones!

    I've never seen a dance party happen so quickly as when the Straytones took the stage and played their first songs. And by the end of the night, our wedding guests were screaming and cheering in delight, chanting "one more song"! These quality musicians with an infectious energy played a lengthy set that was varied and upbeat. I work in the music industry and plan private events and thus have seen a plethora of bands - I highly recommend The Straytones!!!
