    Fabulous wedding reception entertainment!

    The band and sax player were amazing! They engaged our guests and everyone thoroughly enjoyed dancing and celebrating our Special Day! Very professional from their attire to their equipment set up and stage presence! We were actually saranaded by the very talented sax player who also saranaded our guests! They loved it! We felt very lucky to have found and hire this band! It was well worth it! Even our parents got out and danced to the great music! We strongly recommend The Radio Prophets!!!

    It’s a no brainer - hire them!!!

    I hired Gerry and his band Radio Prophets for our annual company party in 2023-2025 and will do so again in 2026!
    The energy this band brings to the dance floor is
    Off the charts! Horn section and vocalist are top notch - bass player and drummer first class! They go out in the Audience and just get this party going! Hire them - you won’t regret it!

    Absolutely amazing performers

    From the ceremony to the reception, every moment was elevated by their talent and professionalism. The pianist during the ceremony created such a beautiful, emotional atmosphere. Cocktail hour flowed seamlessly with the Jazz Quartet — sophisticated, smooth, and perfectly timed. Then the Radio Prophets Band took it to the next level with phenomenal vocalists and a powerful horn section that kept the energy high and the dance floor full. Truly versatile, polished, and exceptionally talented musicians from start to finish.

    Our guests loved the amazing band at our wedding (and still talk about it!)

    We hired the Radio Prophets for our wedding in Paso Robles and they were fantastic! We got nothing but compliments from our guests about the energy they brought to the party. ("They've set the standard!" was my favorite.) They had a good mix of instruments and a fantastic vocalist. My now-husband is an amateur musician and wanted to play a bit, and Gerry was kind enough to share some charts with him a few weeks ahead of time so he even got to play with them for a couple of songs. He stunned everyone and it was one of the most fun parts of the wedding. We would absolutely recommend them!

    Wow wow wow

    Exceptional from cocktail hour through the final song. Band Director Gerry Smith was a true professional and an absolute pleasure to work with — thoughtful, organized, and deeply attuned to the overall experience. Cocktail hour was beautifully executed, setting a refined tone for the evening.

    When the reception began, the band delivered a flawless performance. Gerry’s saxophone work was outstanding, complemented by an extraordinary trumpet and trombone player and a powerful bass line. The musicians seamlessly moved into the audience, creating an immersive, high-end performance that felt both dynamic and sophisticated.

    If you’re looking for a band with elite horns and exceptional musicality, this is an easy and confident choice.

    Fantastic night i won't forget

    Absolutely outstanding from start to finish. The cocktail hour jazz quartet set the perfect tone — sophisticated, smooth, and beautifully performed. It created such an elegant atmosphere and had guests genuinely stopping to listen.

    When the reception began, the band took it to a whole new level. We were completely blown away by the talent of the musicians and the energy they brought to the room. The transition from refined jazz to an unforgettable party was seamless and impressive. Truly world-class musicianship and an incredible experience all around.

    This band was phenomenal!!!!

    Phenomenal doesn’t even begin to cover it. I was at my friend’s wedding and this band absolutely outdid themselves. From the first song to the last, the energy was unreal. They didn’t just stay on the stage — they went right into the crowd, performing alongside the guests with sax, trumpet, and even a keytar. It was electric.

    The guests were completely stunned and the dance floor never emptied. It felt immersive, fun, and truly unforgettable. This experience made it crystal clear why you hire a band and not a DJ — the connection, excitement, and live performance brought the entire celebration to another level. I can’t recommend them highly enough.

    Best Wedding Band Ever!!!

    I attended my friend’s Wedding in October at Swallow Creek Ranch & the Radio Prophets were truly world class! I was so impressed with their energy & stellar musicianship! I have been to lots of Weddings in the past & have never seen a Band perform like this, interacting with the crowd & performing out into the audience. I would highly recommend this band for anybody’s Wedding or Event!

    Life of the Party Saxophonist

    Gerry was incredibly professional, responsive, and flexible working with our DJ. He brought great energy to the party and got everyone dancing! I am so happy I hired Gerry to play on our dance floor and at cocktail hour, we received so many compliments! I would highly recommend his services to anyone on their wedding day.

    Amazing band!

    We hired the Radio Prophets to play at our wedding ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. They were spectacular and our guests are still raving about them almost a year later. Behind the scenes, Gerry was fantastic to work with. He was knowledgeable about equipment/logistics and provided us with playlists and setlists that were really helpful during the wedding planning. We are so glad that we found the Radio Prophets and cherish the memories that helped make.

    These guys, all members, were entertainers extraordinaire!

    Radio Prophets played at our daughter’s wedding. They played an excellent selection of jazz during the post wedding cocktail gathering.

    Radio Prophets then entertained during the wedding reception with a great selection of music during dinner.

    When dinner had ended and all speeches were shared ….. Radio Prophets ROCKED the house, to the extent that all were up and dancing.

    Our daughter’s wedding was incredible and Radio Prophets was a huge part of it.

    Best Wedding Band in Central Coast California

    I was at my cousin’s wedding in 2022 where Radio Prophets was the band and they were fantastic. Probably the best wedding band I have ever seen! High energy, very professional, great performers and they brought the party we were all looking for.
    Would 100% recommend them!

    Radio Prophets- Best Wedding Band EVER!

    BOOK THIS BAND FOR YOUR WEDDING! We booked Radio Prophets for our wedding in Paso Robles, CA. They did an outstanding job and showed more professionalism than I could even imagine. They even helped with some issues we were having with the venue as well as dealt with some serious wind blowing their sheet music around.

    My husband and I have a very eclectic indie rock music taste and Gerry and the band agreed to learn over 10 of our songs. Not only did they learn our songs, but they also hired a special song that has similar music tastes to sing those songs, and they killed not only our songs but some good wedding classics as well. The fact that they went out of their way to do this exceeded our expectations and they seriously rocked. I was impressed that we had non-stop dancing all night, and it is 100 percent attributed to the Radio Prophets. They made our day more special than I ever thought possible. Thank you, Radio Prophets!

    The Absolute Best Wedding Band

    We hired this band for our Ragged Point wedding in Big Sur and we were absolutely blown away by the ease of planning with them, the phenomenal talent of the group, selection of music, & their outstanding energy on the night of the wedding. Starting with piano keys for the ceremony, to fabulous jazz cocktail hour, and ending the night with a fantastic set that got everyone dancing, every guest kept complimenting on their outstanding job. Hire these guys and you will have an unforgettable wedding night!!

    The best band ever!!!

    A friend of mine hired Radio Prophets for their wedding and after attending the ceremony, I knew I wanted them for mine! Even though I scheduled with them only weeks before, thankfully they were able to perform and did amazing! The band showed up early to set up and were incredibly professional. The saxophonist played a solo as I walked in (bride) and it was absolutely beautiful! They also played for cocktail hour and at the reception and my guests had a blast!

    AMAZING! Hire this band. You won't be disappointed

    This band ROCKS. They played for my wedding and were incredibly accommodating with requests for our perfect day. They set up and handled everything including the pre-event visit to the property and sound check. Communication regarding details of the event were handled quickly and professionally. I am a musician myself and was confident that this group would be amazing and I highly recommend working with them.

    Exceeded expectations

    I listened to everything Gerry sent me and that I could find online to hear The Radio Prophet's sound but on wedding day, all my expectations were blown away. The RPs sounded amazing and most if not all guests noticed. Gerry did a site visit which was required by our venue and adapted the band's setup to our venue. Their setlist was Funk leaning which we and our guests loved...popular with all ages. If I had to do it all over again, would choose Gerry and the RP's again.
