Ty Jones Sent on 03/21/2024Rock Stars that make you feel like a Rock Star
Tiana and the Republic of Music team made us feel like rock stars at our wedding, which is truly all one could hope for. If you're seeking an incredible experience for your event, look no further than them.
At our wedding, Republic of Music owned the stage with a perfect blend of old and new hits that got a groovy booty from every generation to the dance floor. Their engaging performance—complete with props and interactive elements—ensured all our guests felt part of the celebration, and their outstanding sound quality truly set the atmosphere. The highlight? They invited my wife and I onstage to close out the night, making for an unforgettable experience.
We also appreciated the comprehensive planning process involving us, Tiana, and the band. This collaborative effort allowed my wife and I to customize the experience fully—from selecting musicians and band members to incorporating our playlists and song requests. This ensured the band perfectly captured the vibe we envisioned for our wedding.
Following the celebration, many guests approached us to share that our wedding was "God Tier" and "the BEST wedding they had ever attended," accolades that speak volumes of the impact Republic of Music had on our special day.
A heartfelt thank you to Tiana—I'm incredibly grateful to our wedding planner, Korie from Bliss Events, for her stellar recommendation. It was everything we desired and more.
Thank you, Tiana, and the entire team! -

Best Night and Wedding Ever!
An absolute 11/10 knock out time working with this band. Truly the most incredible time. I keep using the words “they were perfect” and even those words don’t do them justice. Every single guest came up to me or texted me after saying it was the best time and the band was the best they’ve ever seen.
From the start of working with them, they were so calm, cool, and collected which made me so confident in them being so great. I had a million questions and was a nervous wreck on choosing a band because that was such a center point of our wedding. We wanted a party and they brought it!! When I had my consultation call with Tiana, she asked me if I had a specific genre or songs I wanted them to play. I told her to read the crowd and play whatever she wants. I am so happy I did this, because every song was spot on. One of my biggest concerns was people not dancing and wow we had a packed dance floor the entire time. My husband NEVER dances, and he was on the dance floor the entire night having the best time.
The band understood how to keep everyone engaged and pulled out different fun “activities” like handing out blow up fake guitars for everyone to rock out to. It was soo much fun. The band even got word towards the end of the night that I wanted to get on stage and sing along to close out the night. They helped me get on stage and have the best night of my life. It was truly a dream come true, they were spot on with everything, sounded incredible and I would recommend them to literally everyone and anyone! The best day/night of my life thanks to this band!! 🫶🏼 -

This band is fantastic! Our guests were dancing from start to finish and the dance floor was packed almost the entire evening. Republic of Music was so easy to work with and they are so flexible in the genre of music that you request. For our wedding, there were two vocalists (female and male), saxophonist (well work the extra for him), guitar, base, keyboard and drums. Our guests have repeatedly said that this was the most fun they had ever had at any wedding. Our guests spanned all ages and everyone was up on the dance floor. We cannot say enough good things about the Republic of Music and we would recommend them without hesitation. -

Republic of Music is hands down the best band! They are extremely talented musicians and know what they're doing when it comes to music at events. We hired them for our wedding on NYE and it was truly the best decision ever! The dance floor was always packed, they interacted with the guests, and they sounded absolutely incredible. We also had them do our Ceremony music and it was absolutely incredible. They brought our vision to life and it's something we will NEVER forget. You would be remiss if you did not hire Republic of Music for your event (Wedding, corporate event, Birthday party, etc)! -

Republic of music really got the party going. All of our guests were dancing right after our first dance and well into the night. Even my uncle Jim who is in his 80s. What’s more they integrated seamlessly with our venue and other vendors. Cherry on top they were able to provide a DJ for the last hour and a half of our ceremony to play our favorite house hits after the live band segment concluded. Sprinkles they let the groom perform with the band! They really made our wedding.
Excellent. -

Republic of Music was the Highlight of Our Reception
Republic of Music absolutely blew us away! We decided to do the 8-piece band at our wedding on Coronado and truly think choosing ROM for our entertainment made all the difference for us and our guests. Everyone who attended will not stop talking about how much fun they had dancing all night! We had two calls with Tiana to cover the vibe of our wedding and she also sent us a helpful worksheet to fill out with song list ideas, which really allowed us to figure out the flow of our day. Every single band member was SO talented and engaged with the crowd perfectly. One of the highlights of my husband's night was stage diving into the crowd, we all could not stop smiling! If we could change anything, it would be extending our venue hours so we could dance and enjoy the band longer! We can not recommend Republic of Music enough, they were one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! -

Short and sweet summary: Republic of Music’s incredible talent elevated the wedding day to another level of memorable and special, and their planning skills made the day feel seamless.
Longer version: We decided to make the investment in a live band because we really wanted our guests to be dancing and enjoying themselves during our daytime wedding. ROM’s musicians came recommended by both our day-of coordinator (Melissa Tuvey-Barrad) and several venues we looked at. What also impressed us about Tiana and her team was how great they sounded in their videos across a wide variety of musical styles, and also simply how many promo videos they had posted on their website. We had complete confidence that we knew what we were signing up for.
The organization skills of ROM were also impressive. Filling out their 31-page wedding worksheet (Example questions – what song will you walk in to? Will we announce your parents’ names during it? Will they be walking in or at their seats?) gave me a lot of confidence that everything was going to run smoothly, because a group of professional and fun humans were going to be following what we’d discussed.
The day of the wedding turned into concert-dance party, and I as the bride had a total blast. They had 90% of our guests dancing on their opening Enrique Iglesias number, which then looped into a Stevie Wonder song, and people loved it. And they especially killed it with the classic rock song my Dad and I had requested for our dance that wasn’t in their standard playlist. The artists’ incredible musicianship nailed the guitar and keyboard solos to the level of any recording, which will definitely go down as one of my top three memories of day. The compliments from guests are still coming in – they were a joy!

We just got married on November 6, 2021 and hired Republic of Music as our wedding band! We LOVED them!
They made the process so easy! Once we hired them, they sent us a wedding worksheet to fill out that went over everything from Grand Entrance order to lighting to songs to play, songs not to play, what we would like the band to wear, cocktail hour music, etc. Then, we had the pleasure to meet with Tiana who walked us through the worksheet, answered all our questions and made us feel so confident that the night was going to be amazing. She was so professional and reassuring the whole time. She even helped us find a white stage skirt to rent to ensure we would have the look that we were going for and was accommodating with the size stage that would fit in our room.
On the day of the wedding, they were the stars of the show! They emceed the whole night beautifully and they knew exactly what to do to get our guests out on the dance floor (which wasn't the easiest since we had a good amount of older people!) Every single person that hugged me goodbye was raving about this band!
If you are debating whether to get a live band or a DJ, I'd say splurge and get the live band! THIS live band! They blew us away and made our night unforgettable!
Thank you to Tiana and the Republic of Music team for being the rockstars that you are and for being such an incredible part of our big day! -

Republic of Music made our wedding the perfect party. They were beyond wonderful at contacting us, getting a feel for the music we loved, and even allowed some of our close friends and family to be a part of the performance. They were the most memorable part of our wedding, their music was incredible, unforgettable, and absolutely fantastic. People still talk about our dance floor! -

Sean Sent on 10/08/2021I would never even think about another band again!
The center piece of our wedding was the BAND. RoM was our live music for the Ceremony (electric violin), 3 piece during the Cocktail Hour 90 minutes, a 9-piece band with 5 vocalists I hand picked for the 4 hour Reception, and then DJ+3 piece for the After Party. Every part of the experience was worth every penny, and I would rate them with all the stars in the sky if I could.
I had narrowed down my choice to 3 SD based bands before going with RoM, I could not beat RoM in terms of unique voices/styles in just about every song we picked. The buck stops with Tiana with all the finer details! I had picked every musician, and I picked every song for each of the events! They even learned BTS - Dynamite for us when it wasn’t already in their repertoire.
I had a swim entrance into the alter, and we had a Uni bar and coconuts at the cocktail hour and I sang for my wife during our first dance, but RoM was the one thing that all the guests remembered! I am beyond happy with my choice.
RoM kept the energy flowing the entire afternoon and night, they got the crowd engaged in different ways, group dance, limbo line, with fun props etc. Even as detail oriented as I am, I trusted the RoM team once I saw them read and go with the crowd. They also worked with us on two guest musical performances.
Now on the sound, I personally treated this as a concert, they worked with my photo/video team and gave them digital recording of the whole performance straight from the soundboard with no loss in quality. Who needs a play list when I can just play the entire performance over again!
DJ Simple was a super awesome DJ for that late night after party! And He even personally manned the Photo Booth and got the guests in the mood for fun takes! RoM was really a 1 stop shop for wedding entertainment. -

Best. Wedding. Band. Ever.
When my husband and I first started dating, one of the main interests that brought us together was our shared love of music. So, five years later when we got engaged, we knew that booking a live band for our wedding was a must.
Approximately three minutes into browsing bands on The Knot, we found RoM and couldn't imagine finding a better band to perform at our wedding--their live performance videos and extensive song list options had us instantly hooked. We messaged them for a quote and Tiana, the LadyBoss Rockstar herself, reached out to us the very next day.
Honestly, there aren't enough words to describe how wonderful she was to work with. Tiana is not only incredibly kind with a great sense of humor, she's also extremely thorough and determined to do everything within her power to make sure your wedding vision comes to life. She even took it upon herself to work directly with our venue regarding their no amplified music policy which was a HUGE weight off my shoulders.
Overall, hiring RoM was easily the best decision we could’ve made. The cello + keyboard duo we selected for the ceremony had our guests in tears and the band + DJ knew exactly how to keep the dance floor packed the entire night. To this day, our friends and family still rave about how amazing the band was and it’s because of them that we had the absolute best day of our lives. So, if you’re looking for an engaging, versatile and incredibly gifted group of musicians to help create the most memorable day of your life, you must, must, unquestionably MUST hire RoM. Trust me, you won’t regret it. -

WOW! What a party! Republic of Music was such a hit at our wedding! From the beautiful ceremony music, to the cocktail hour, and the dinner and reception party, the band was such a hit! I am still getting compliments on their performances.
I first found Republic of Music at an industry event and I was so impressed that I went to introduce myself to find out more information for my wedding. We really wanted a live band to create the ultimate wedding experience, but were working within a strict budget. However, after discussing our needs and what we envisioned, we were able to come to an agreement. We are beyond excited to have them. Then, we had to postpone our wedding not once, but twice due to COVID-19. Tiana and her team worked with us on new dates and were so accommodating. We definitely didn’t want to lose them!
The planning process of choosing music was definitely overwhelming, but their questionnaire was very helpful and deciding what we wanted to include. Then, we had a phone meeting to discuss where all my questions were answered & was so impressed with Tiana. She set any nerves I had at ease and I completely trusted her. We ended up having a guitarist and vocalist for our ceremony with a mix of live and recorded music, recorded music for our cocktail hour and 6-piece band for our dinner reception. AMAZING would be an understatement. It was absolutely perfect in every way and wish I had them even longer!
The ceremony was dreamy and whimsical which is exactly what I was hoping for. I started crying before I even walked down the aisle because what I heard was so beautiful. When it was my turn to walk down the aisle, Tiana’s rendition of “Can’t Help Falling in Love” was so romantic. It gave me all the tingly feels inside and I started crying again. It was the perfect moment.
One of my other favorite moments of the day was during cocktail hour – the band was warming up in the reception space and my new husband and I got to dance and twirl around just the two of us. It is a memory I will cherish always.
All the songs they performed were beautiful – Can’t Help Falling in Love was my obvious favorite, but they also learned a brand-new song for my father/daughter dance (The Man Who Loves You the Most – Zac Brown Band). It was magical and my dad cried so much. He loved it!
The only downside was that we had a medical emergency during dinner which halted the party and got us behind schedule quite a bit, however, Republic of Music for the win and the true MVP! You wouldn’t have known that our dance party was reduced because they read the room and knew we had to cram as much fun as possible into a short time period. They got EVERYONE on the dancefloor and hyped everyone back up. It was a true party! Their energy, crowd engagement, and talent are the best out there!
They also remembered that my husbands one wedding request was to get everyone dancing to “SHOUT!” as it is his favorite wedding number. Well, they upped their game even more. Not only was the entire crowd singing and dancing, they got us both on stage to have fun AND have a bride & groom crowd surfing experience. It was so much fun! We honestly cannot say enough great things about Republic of Music. We will be recommending them for all special events and hope to have them play for us again in the near future!
