Best wedding band ever
Booking RoM was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! We cared a LOT about what our wedding dance floor experience would be like, so having live music was a top priority for us. Other than “congratulations”, the comment we heard most from our guests all night long was how great our band was! We hired an 8-piece band + additional brass after discussing our guest count, music preferences and overall wedding vibe, and we ended up adding on a solo pianist to set the tone at our cocktail hour with the venue’s grand piano.
RoM was hugely impactful in setting the timeline for the whole evening from the start of the reception to the end of the night. I think it’s easy to forget when hiring your wedding music that they are also providing the emcee services for the evening, where understanding the timeline and any unique requests really impacts how your whole night flows. They were incredibly thoughtful and professional in how they approached this process, and they demonstrated that they allow couples to be as detailed as you want in crafting the musical experience (their intake survey was the most impressive of any band we met with) and also any wedding formalities or unique traditions you want to incorporate. However, they also bring their expertise to the table and give very helpful guidance based on their depth of experience. They know how to read the room, plan fun interactive dance moments involving props, accessories and crowd interactions, and we trusted them completely, and rightfully so.
We would note that RoM is uniquely talented at bringing great energy to the event and (more importantly) tailoring that energy to their audience. Our wedding sought a very classic, elegant tone (black tie optional, most of the men wore tuxedos, our first dance was Frank Sinatra) and RoM brought that tone to life. And as the night got later (and their audience more rambunctious), RoM knew exactly how to turn up their vibe and turn down that dance floor.
Given their remarkable musical talent and professionalism, their pricing offers unbelievable value. Many quotes we received were significantly higher, but we got the most professional and energetic impression from RoM from those early conversations, and they lived up to - if not exceeded - our expectations.
If you hire RoM, you’re in for an incredibly energetic, smooth, fun and memorable experience! -

BEST BAND EVER!!! Must hire for you Wedding!!
We had ROM provide our live music for our whole wedding at the Rancho Bernardo Inn. From ceremony, emcee at reception, all the way to an incredible 8 piece band and after party DJ. Every single guest commented how much FUN they made the night!! Weeks later and guests are still reaching out to say how incredible the band was! The main POC, Tiana is incredibly fun and so easy to work with! They really take every little ask into consideration and customize to fit whatever style wedding you're looking to have. We felt they perfectly understood the energy level we requested and type of music. We had the absolute best night of our lives thanks to them! If live music is something you're looking for, you MUST book ROM!!!-

The BEST wedding band ever!
We cannot say enough amazing things about this band — they were absolutely INCREDIBLE! From start to finish, they went above and beyond to make our night unforgettable. They were so responsive throughout the entire process, open to our ideas, and completely willing to accommodate special requests. It truly felt like they cared as much about our day as we did!
On the night of our wedding, they brought the most electric energy, flawless vocals, and incredible production. We’ve been to so many weddings over the years, and they were by far the best band we’ve ever seen (and we’re not just being biased!). Our guests are still talking about how amazing the music was and how much fun they had on the dance floor.
Their professionalism, talent, and genuine enthusiasm were unmatched — they made everything feel seamless and so personal. If you’re even considering them, just book them. You will not regret it! We’re already trying to think of another event just to have them perform again. -

The best band in the world
Surreal sound, professionalism, and overall fun. Superb entertainers. No one left the dance floor all night. Kept pace and read the audience the entire night. Totally customized the songs, look and feel in very very detailed conversations in advance of the wedding. We would never ever hire another band. Over the top in every way!! -

A great, flexible, enthused option
We did not end up going with them (chose a more unconventional music option) but were thoroughly impressed with Tiana's attention to detail and overall enthusiasm for helping give us the best music possible for our unique venue, our unique guests, and our unique needs. She was completely authentic without any hints of just trying to sell us stuff we didn't want or need. Completely recommend. -

Unforgettable Music & Energy - The Best Band Ever!
Hiring The Republic of Music band was easily one of the best decisions we made for our wedding day. From the first note to the final encore, they absolutely blew us (and our guests) away. The talent, professionalism, and charisma they brought to the stage created the kind of atmosphere you dream about—pure magic.
They didn’t just play music—they read the room, elevated the energy, and kept everyone on the dance floor all night long. Whether it was heartfelt ballads during our first dance or high-energy hits that had our parents grooving with the bridal party, the vibe was perfect from beginning to end.
Every member of the band was incredibly talented, and their sound was flawless—like hearing your favorite songs for the first time again. Their transitions were seamless, their setlist was thoughtfully curated, and they even learned a special song just for us. It meant the world.
If you're looking for a band that will turn your wedding into a once-in-a-lifetime celebration, this is the one. Your guests will talk about them long after the last dance—and so will you.
P.S. We even got to go on stage to sing/put on a show for our guests and had a blast! The crowd surfing at the end of the night is something we'll never forget!-

Best Wedding Band EVER!
We searched high and low for a band to blow the roof off our wedding venue, and while many had flashy websites and intake forms, none had the depth and soul we were looking for—until we found Tiana and Republic of Music!
Their pricing is spot on, exactly what you'd expect for a group this talented, organized, warm, energetic, and truly AMAZING. We were able to customize our entire evening—starting with a trio during cocktail hour, beautiful singing during dinner, and then they absolutely brought the house down for the main reception! RoM handled special announcements seamlessly, and Tiana even sang a Beatles song for one of our dads’ birthdays. They were so accommodating, and the energy and flow of the evening was incredible—high-energy, interactive, and perfect! Almost everyone was on the dance floor, even those who 'don’t dance' (GASP!). RoM kept the dance floor packed all night long!
Tiana was incredibly attentive, and the vocals... OMG! She casually belted out Whitney Houston’s 'I Wanna Dance With Somebody,' and we were literally bowing down to her with our glow sticks! Her voice is absolutely incredible, and the male vocalist was equally as impressive. Every glowing review they have is a testament to their commitment to making your day unforgettable. You and your guests will be talking about them forever!

Knocked our socks off!
Live music was SO important to our wedding vision and Republic of Music absolutely knocked it out of the park! From the start, Tiana and her team wowed us with their attention to detail and an extensive song list covering all the kinds of music we love, from pop hits to country.
As soon as the band started playing dinner music, our guests were immediately impressed and looking around like “are you hearing this?!” The sax was such an awesome touch and well worth the upgrade!
This band knows how to keep the party going with the right song at the right moment, and as a result the dance floor was crowded all night long. They even let us join them on stage for a surprise bride & groom duet which was a memory we’ll never forget. We ended the night with a DJ afterparty and booking this through Republic of Music made it so easy, and DJ Treflip crushed it!
We had multiple guests ask for the band’s information for future events and we were happy to provide it with an enthusiastic recommendation. Thanks Tiana & RoM! -

Rock 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! -

Awesome Wedding Band!
A Fantastic band to work with. Tiana helped us choose the music to set the tone for the cocktail reception then the dinner and then dancing. Relaxed and sophisticated during the cocktail hour the very high energy and fun for the dancing! Our wedding was on the lawn at the Hotel Del the same weekend the signer Pink was staying at the Hotel with her kids, and when Pink heard the band play one of her songs she came out to the lawn and enjoyed the band with us! We highly recommend Republic of Music! -

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!! 🫶🏼-

So much fun!!
I can't say enough wonderful things about ROM. From the moment we spoke with Tiana, till we begged for them to “play one more song” before calling it a night, they were professional, and more importantly, a TON of of fun. The dance floor was packed from the opening note until the end of the night.
We initially really wanted a full band, but then also wanted the non-traditional "band" music i.e. EDM, Hip-Hop, etc. , so we did a DJ and live music (drummer, bass, saxophone) at Tiana's suggestion and it was the ULTIMATE combo!! Our guests LOVED it and so did we!! Tiana and her team were amazing and ROM kept the vibes up all night! -

Best wedding band in existence
The band was by far the highlight of our wedding. So many of our guests have commented on how much fun they had dancing. One said: “We had so much fun! I never danced so much in my life! Great band!”, which pretty much sums up everyone’s experience.
Leading up to our wedding, Republic of Music worked with us to get an idea of what we wanted, but they also brought tons of their own flair and took the party up to club energy levels. The dance floor was packed the entire night. We’ve never seen anything like it at a wedding before so to have this very important aspect of our wedding turn out so amazingly well thanks to Republic of Music is something we and our guests will never forget. -

Hire ROM for your wedding - You will not regret it!!
Republic of Music (ROM) truly made our wedding night a night we will never forget. My husband and I were hyper-focused on finding the perfect band, since we really believe that can make or break the vibe of a wedding and ROM did not disappoint - Tiana and the other band members were beyond incredible. They picked the right music for various parts of the evening (ceremony, cocktail hour, reception and after party) and closely worked with us to ensure all of our asks were met. They did a great job of interacting with the guests on the dance floor when appropriate, and their late night DJ that we requested really knew how to get the party started! 10/10 would ABSOLUTELY recommend hiring them for your wedding - you will not regret it! Love you ROM! -

Fantastic Music
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. -

Such a Blast! The BEST!!
We never stopped dancing!! We hired Republic of Music for our daughter's San Diego wedding. Tiana and her 11 member band were all supremely talented musicians, played with passion, energy, and professionalism. They have a huge repertoire of songs which we were asked to submit requests. They also masterfully played a few songs which we requested that were not on their list. Many of guests said that it was the most fun they have ever had at a wedding to which we whole heartedly agreed! We hope we have the good fortune to hear them again! -

Best band ever!
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)! -

A force of music.
Coming from someone whose been to literally hundreds of concerts throughout their life, I can easily say that Republic of Music was one of the most memorable musical experiences I’ve ever had. Not only was the band an absolute powerhouse of melody and song, but an interactive, radiant group of musicians that are second to none. I mean, holy shi*t.
Starting from the very beginning, Tiana was an incredible listener and truly wanted to help us bring our musical vision to life. We had some pretty, pretty specific requests in terms of song selection, genre, and do’s and don’ts, and Tiana only encouraged us to follow our instincts and go for it. This didn’t feel as much of an us vs them, but an overall group effort that was perfectly executed to our liking.
We had multiple family performances, guests on stage singing with the band, and an endless uproar or applause whenever the next song would start. Months later, we still have friends telling us that they’ll never recover from the dancing at our wedding. Our parents and their friends still talk to this day that they’ve never seen a better wedding band than Republic of Music, although I wouldn’t classify them as a wedding band but more of a band that I would genuinely pay to see on a Friday night.
Tiana and ROM were attentive, kind, and most importantly, patient with us during our entire planning process. At the end of the day, if you’re not hiring Republic of Music for your wedding, you’re making a mistake. -

Best wedding band! Book them now
Republic of Music was the best decision we made during our wedding planning process. Our dance floor was packed the entire night and 6 months later, I still get people who attended our wedding telling us how much fun they had on the dance floor that night. I expected our friends to tear up the dance floor but did not expect ROM to keep my parents’ friends, aunts, uncles, and even grandmas on the dance floor the way that they did. This was also San Diego in July and the dance floor was HOT, yet everyone chose to embrace the sweat and stick it out on the dance floor rather than take a break on the breezy patio and we loved every minute of it. It was a night we will never forget and only made possible because of how amazing ROM is.
During our first conversation with Tiana, we explained how we wanted to engage the crowd throughout the evening and gradually escalate to a full-blown party. She immediately understood what we wanted and executed it perfectly – even going so far as to hand the mic to my cousin (who is also a fantastic singer) and allowing her to serenade our guests with “Killing me softly with his song” before dinner. It was a huge hit with our guests and now my family sings along to that song at every family gathering.
I think what I appreciated most about ROM is that they truly want to make it your day and they give you the ability to be as involved in the planning process as you want while providing their expert opinions. They know what songs will get people dancing and allowing them to do their thing, while mixing in a few personal touches/requests was exactly what we were looking for and ROM provided perfectly. I cannot say enough good things about Tiana and the rest of the band and am forever grateful we booked them for our special day!
If you are on the fence, you will not regret booking them, they are the absolute BEST wedding band! You will absolutely LOVE them!

Hiring Republic of Music is the best decision we made for our wedding!
Republic of Music is AMAZING! They made us feel so comfortable and talked with us about what we envisioned for our wedding even before we booked with them. They made it so easy to figure out what music to play and gave suggestions as well. On the day of the wedding they made it incredibly easy, we were able to enjoy the music, dance, and interact with them while they played. They gave out props and called people to the dance floor to keep everyone entertained and I loved that so much! Even to this day everyone at my wedding talks about how amazing our band is and that is all thanks to Republic of Music, we love you guys! -

Most memorable dance floor
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! -

ROM is a must for your wedding!
ROM was the best! This band is a MUST for your wedding. My husband and I wanted a band who would keep people on their feet all night long, and that's exactly what the Republic of Music did for our wedding. Our family and friends are STILL talking about how much fun they had months later.
Tiana made the whole planning process so easy and was able to guide us with great recommendations when we were a little stumped on what to do! The band did a great job of listening to our song requests and even learned a new song at my request as a surprise for my husband. They also were happy to accommodate some of the more outdated requests we had. The dance floor was packed all night long and they interacted with our guests so well. We had so much fun with them and were sad when they played the last song. At the end of the day, we were so happy with this big purchase and they were worth every penny. -

RomProd gave us the best wedding we could imagine!
Republic of Music was THE BEST wedding band! They far exceeded our wildest expectations, which were high based on the videos and reviews we perused before hiring them. Countless guests approached us during the wedding to rave about the band - the sound, the quality, the fun! The general consensus among the crowd was that this was the best band and most fun party vibe they had ever experienced at a wedding. We’re obviously biased given it was our special day, but we have to agree! From the bubble guns, to call-and-response competitions, to limbos and conga lines, they really did everything they could to make it a fun event for all. The bride’s cousin was even welcomed on stage to jam out with an inflatable saxophone in some Blue Brother’s style shades! It was truly memorable.
And entertainment accoutrement aside, they were absolutely incredible musicians! The singers had such an impressive range and they flawlessly covered every genre, from country to rock to ABBA! The lead singer was off the charts...the guitar solos were top notch! Every musician was an expert at his or her craft.
We worked with Tiana to prepare for the big day and cannot speak highly enough of her professionalism and attitude. She was so easy to work with and made prep a breeze. She even generously accommodated last minute new song requests. RomProd is all about careful and extensive preparation to ensure a flawless event - we collaborated on a timeline & preferences worksheet and met for a 90 minute session with Tiana in the month before the wedding to ensure that we were aligned on every nuanced detail. RomProd is respectful of and will cater to your specific party needs...if you want to control the set list and level of crowd engagement, you absolutely can, or you can give them leeway to perform with minimal guidance. We shared our musical interests but trusted in their experience to be responsive to the crowd and put on a show, and they more than delivered!
Bottom line, you can rely on RomProd to make a party memorable, and we HIGHLY recommend them to anyone searching for a wedding band (in fact, we already have!). They were easy to work with, professional, and the epitome of entertainers. Thanks to them, we'll remember our wedding as the best night of our lives! The bride's father is already talking about throwing an anniversary party for the sole purpose of partying with RomProd for one more night! THANK YOU ROMPROD! -

Rock On Republic of Music
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! -

Unforgettable Music
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!

There is a reason for so many 5 star reviews!!!
To try and explain how FABULOUS ROM was at our wedding, here was the question we got from all of our guests from all age ranges, music interests, and dance skills ;) “Who was your band!?! They were amazing!!!!” We used them for the whole shebang from ceremony through the end of the night and I shutter thinking what would have happened if we hadn’t used them because they truly nailed every detail and made the night perfect! Talent, Energy, Professionalism - every single member had it all! Icing on the cake is that Tiana was incredibly sweet, responsive, and easy to work with. THANK YOU!!!! -

Amazing Band!
I couldn't have asked for a better band! I planned my wedding in under 4 months and because of the pandemic, I lucked out that Republic of Music was even available. I hadn't seen them perform live before, but I reviewed their music on Instagram and could tell they were talented. With that being said, their talent far exceeded any expectations I had. They knocked it out of the park and all the guests could talk about was how amazing they were. If you are deciding between another band and ROM, pick ROM! It was MORE than worth it and I will have so many memories to look back on on the dance floor thanks to them because they kept everyone dancing and entertained. I was truly amazed by them! -

The best part of the day!!
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! -

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. -

I 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.-

Book them!
If you are reading this, you found the perfect band for your upcoming event. Look no further! My wife and I had to delay our wedding a full year due to COVID. Live music is one of our shared favorite things so having a great band was very important to us. Republic of Music exceeded all expectations! Tiana was easy to work with and thorough to ensure every detail was met. Our guest could not get over how amazing the band was. By far the biggest compliment we received from everyone the next day. They bring a ton of ENERGY and sound great while performing. 10/10 recommend -

Incredible band!
My wife and I had the pleasure of having Republic of Music play during our wedding. The energy they bring truly changed the evening and had everyone up on their feet all night long. Tianna was extremely helpful and accommodating when planning our set list. We requested a couple songs the band did not know, and they were more than willing to learn them in time for the wedding. We had ROM play beautiful string instruments during our ceremony creating an elegant and beautiful atmosphere. Following the cocktail hour, instead of ushers guiding our guests into the ballroom, ROM had their trumpet and saxophone player lead our guests with fun music. This was such a small detail they brought that people absolutely loved. ROM did an incredible job with playing both great dinner and dancing music that kept people entertained. The energy ROM brought to the wedding had everyone in the family up on their feet from our young cousins all the way to my 85-year-old grandma! We couldn’t have been more pleased with the songs that were played, the entertainment they brought, and the fun interactions with our guests. You will not go wrong having ROM play at your wedding. Be ready to channel your inner Tina Turner and enjoy the night of your life! -

Wedding Rockstars!
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!

The BEST band!
If I could give 10 stars to Republic of Music, I would! Republic of Music exceeded ALL of our high expectations and made our wedding the best night of our lives!
From the beginning, Tiana and her team were thoughtful, helpful and intentional about making our wedding the wedding we had always dreamed of. After pushing our wedding back twice due to COVID, Tiana and her team continued to be more than understanding. We are beyond grateful for their help and flexibility during a stressful time!
Live music was very important to us and we had everyone from our grandparents to young cousins on the dance floor the ENTIRE time thank to RoM! Their TALENT and ENERGY had had all of our guests dancing and gushing about how they were the best band they have ever seen at a wedding and wanted to see them perform again! Words do not describe the fun we all had!! We had a few special requests such as Greek dancing, and RoM even helped with a special mashup for my father/daughter dance. It was so special!
It makes me so happy writing this review because it takes me back to my wedding night! It was the most special, FUN night.. a huge thank you to Republic of Music for making our wedding the day we always dreamed of! We love you guys!!! -

Outstanding Live Music!
The Republic of Music team is who you want to hire for your wedding or event!!! One of our top priorities for our wedding was having live music and wow, we are so thankful we went with Republic of Music because they EXCEEDED our dreams! They make every single part of the process so fun, from the first introductory call to guidance in selecting our music to every moment on our big day. They brought the house DOWN on our dance floor - such talented artists that truly know how to bring the energy. Thank you, Republic of Music team!! -

The Band of our Dreams
(Wedding was 9/19/20)
We always knew we wanted the energy, dynamism, and showmanship of a live band at our wedding reception, and were SO excited when we came across ROM in our search. We got a great feel for their vibe from their videos, but talking to Tiana sealed the deal. She is friendly, fun, and energetic, and took the time to get to know us and answer all of our questions. She understood our vision right away - a little old school rock and soul, R&B, some pop - and she shared specific videos to show us some of the exact songs we were hoping for.
Unfortunately, COVID prevented us from having the rowdy reception we were looking forward to, and we had to cancel the big band when we scaled back our wedding from 130 to 20 people. But Tiana was very understanding, and stuck with us though the ups and downs. We ended up having an acoustic guitarist (Aaron) for our ceremony and cocktail hour.
Aaron is extremely talented and professional. Since the venue changed from a winery to a backyard, flexibility was so important. He set up his own system and then mic'd our officiant and worked with her until she was comfortable. Our coordinator was particularly impressed with how independent he was in setup, and said he was very easy to work with.
Our guests told us that his music before, during, and after the ceremony set the perfect tone for our intimate gathering. Thank you for setting the mood for a meaningful wedding! -

Book this band now!
If we could give 100 stars, we would! This band is a MUST for your wedding. My husband and I wanted a band who would keep people on their feet all night long, and that's exactly what the Republic of Music did for our wedding. Our family and friends are STILL talking about how much fun they had months later. Tiana did a great job listening to our song requests, and put together a fun song list. Something that I want to acknowledge about their professionalism/expertise is that we originally said we just wanted the band to play music - no games, no interaction with our guests, ect. But once they got going at our reception, they read our guests really well and strayed a little from our original plan. The end result was fantastic! Our guests were on stage signing with the band, they pulled out limbo and a conga line, just the ultimate party. At the end of the day, we were so happy with this big purchase and they were worth every penny. -

The band your guests will keep raving about months after the wedding
In my mind there was literally no other option for our wedding band than RoM. I am a singer myself, and have performed with RoM many times over the past 5 or 6 years. And I think that says something - through all of my many, many experiences with this incredible band family, they have done nothing but ABSOLUTELY CRUSH EVERY EVENT, EVERY TIME!! And my wedding was no exception!! They went above and beyond to learn new songs for our father/daughter mother/son dances, and they accompanied my Dad and brother (also musicians) who jumped up on stage to play our first dance song.
Each RoM musician is extremely talented in their own unique way, so put together, they are phenomenal.
Tiana = master MC (can rally a crowd in the most loving, sincere way), also has an incredible voice and attention to detail!
Rick = SHREDS the guitar and keys like no other Kori = his rich and powerful vocals will stop you in your tracks. Truly unbelievable.
Ivory Black = can literally sing anything perfectly, but her cover of Led Zeppelin is on another level (my guests were FLOORED)
David is the best keyboardist I've ever worked with, Coop schlaps that bass, Noah murders the drums, I could literally go on and on about these top-notch musicians.And not only are they musically talented, but their energy kept my guests jumping the entire night. When they were playing, the dance floor was packed, which was one of the main reasons I went with RoM.
Our venue was a fairytale garden, our dessert bar was overflowing with donuts and brownies, and yet the main thing our guests gushed about for weeks after the wedding was the fantastic band.
If you've been to weddings with and without a live band, you know the energy a live band brings to an event is unmatched. I've never performed with, or witnessed a band with better energy, crowd engagement, and talent. Do yourself a favor and hire RoM, as a bunch of their other reviews have already stated: YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT. -

The best in the business!
Our family had another wedding about a year ago with a killer band and we were nervous that we weren’t going to be able to find a band to match that same energy. At our first meeting, we expressed those concerns to Tiana and she and ROM rose to the challenge. ROM exceeded our every expectation and definitely gave our guests something to talk about!
Our wedding was destination in Arizona, we are from Texas, and ROM is from San Diego. Despite being in different time zones, Tiana made it easy to talk with her about our vision for our wedding.
We wanted modern ceremony and dinner music, followed by an over the top dance party that would get each and every guest out of their seats. ROM had our guests impressed from the very beginning with a beautiful and emotional ceremony. It was also refreshing to give our guests a little dance break right before dinner, which was a ROM party starting speciality. We knew our money was well spent when we looked around the room and didn’t see a single butt in the chair!
One of our favorite moments of the night was our epic hora. Again, every single guest was involved and it really helped to get the night started and set the party tone. ROM also got guests involved with a fun limbo session and a sing along that featured some of our guests hidden talents.
We didn’t want the night to end, but since it had to there was no better way than with crown surfing. Our guests had never seen that at a wedding before, and they were overly impressed. The experience is truly something that my husband and I will never forget.
A true testament of the night came the next day at our post wedding brunch, where several guests had lost their voices from singing with the band so hard.
Republic of Music was the best decision we made for our wedding. We would pick them a thousand times over. Thanks a million to Tiana, and the rest of the ROM team. -

How can we put this... Amazing? Incredible? Absolutely unforgettable, memorable and hands down the best band to work with for your wedding. RoM was not only highly professional to work with- they completely made our wedding the most fun and special day not just for us- but for all of our guests who packed the dance floor. Tiana and team are a special group that understand how to rock the house, while also letting the wedding couple shine. Highly recommend and 100% would hire again. -

So damn good
We got married at the Prado in March. Neither of us live in SD anymore, so we could only talk to vendors over the phone.
Even through the phone, we could tell that RoM was special -- their range was staggering, their service was absolutely impeccable. Most of all, their first priority was what we wanted. They wanted to know who was going to be there, what mood we expected, what kind of energy we wanted to have, how we wanted to break up the dancing sets. Other bands seemed more concerned with their own needs and abilities; RoM wanted to know what we wanted.
Besides the band, they had strings for the ceremony. They played pop hits (Daft Punk, other stuff), Latin (Buena Vista Social Club, Selena), Motown. They even had a singer who could sing in Italian, which pleased my family to no end.
How did they play? I can't even begin to explain it. They were better than anyone has a right to expect. Everyone, everyone danced -- the old people, the kids, the mostly 25-35 y.o. crowd. The dance floor was never empty. If you're afraid of stuffy bands who usually play retirement home and horrible Office Space-type corporate events, don't worry. No one left without telling us how much they loved the band.
The band is always, always friendly and courteous, and top of it all the price was more than reasonable.
We cannot, cannot recommend RoM enough. Thanks Tiana!! -

ROM Brings the Party
We LOVED having Republic of Music (ROM) perform at our wedding. We knew that the music would be the entertainment focal point so picking the right group was critical. Tiana at ROM was able to coordinate a live sampling of their music repertoire and we immediately felt the great energy they would provide at our wedding.
Getting through the planning stages and making decisions for a wedding can be very stressful. Tiana and ROM did an exceptional job of making us feel at ease when it came to the music. ROM reassured us several times that they know how to gauge an audience and they did exactly that. We've had several wedding guests that said they loved the music and that it made the party. Guests danced the night away!
ROM has a wide array of music across genres to choose from that they cover extremely well. If there is a song that they don't know they are open to learning it and performing it at your function. You can also customize the group to your preferences, i.e. adding vocals, horns, etc. We enjoyed listening to their playlists when we were deciding on what songs we did and did not want to hear at our wedding.
We were so lucky that we found ROM as they made our wedding a memorable party. If you found ROM, no need to look any further. We can't recommend ROM enough!

ROM will rock your party!
This band is phenomenal! They played/emcee'd for my daughter's wedding on 9/21/2019, and our guests did not want to leave the dance floor. Tiana, Cory and Ali are amazing vocalists and can sing just about anything ! We would have continued dancing into the early hours if not for the venue needing to close down. Thank you ROM for am amazing night of music! -

This is the most amazing band!!! OMG!!!
Well, July 20th, 2019 is gone but the incredible memories will endure as ROM entertained our wedding guests in a way I have never seen. With 15 band members.....they played and played and played! The energy and musical talent this band brought to our wedding was simply.....AMAZING!
There is no other choice for music for your wedding, birthday, Bar Mitzvah, party....whatever!!! Book this band. Tiana is a dream to work with and takes care of her clients because she loves her clients. It shows!
Thank you Tiana we love you, too!!

Amazing Wedding Band!
We searched long and hard for the right wedding band and were lucky enough to stumble onto RoM. All of our guests, from the wild college friends to the 90-year-old aunt complimented us on such a fun band! More than just a wedding band, Republic of Music was a full-wedding-day solution. Tiana was able to arrange and provide strings for our ceremony, a fantastic jazz band for cocktail hour, the perfect full 8-piece band for the reception and even a great DJ for our after-party! The strings played beautiful classic wedding music, but also some super-fun songs like the Mario Brothers theme to lighten the mood and create some smiles as our guests were seated. During the reception, they made sure that the dance floor was never empty, but also made sure to mix up fun, new music with upbeat older tunes that kept the entire age range (from 30-80!) up and moving. The lead singer even led a conga line around the ceremony and Tiana convinced my wife and I to crowd surf to Don't Stop Believing at the end of the night! It was incredibly memorable, and Tiana was helpful with the entire process from start to finish. Republic of Music really knocked it out of the park for us in all respects and were the lynchpin that made the entire event! 10/10 Would Recommend! -

Best Band Ever
Short version - WOW!!!
Full version - We knew we wanted a band for our wedding so we spent a lot of time reviewing the various options and went to go see multiple bands play live before we settled on Republic of Music given (1) quality, (2) price, and (3) their desire and ability to play the entire night. Selecting ROM was the best decision we made for the wedding (maybe slightly behind our decision to get married in the first place but it's close). Starting from the beginning, the ROM team was extremely communicative (which can be rare in the industry). Tiana was supportive of all of our needs while offering suggestions based on her experience (without being pushy). We were able to select the performers that we wanted and the entire planning process was seamless. ROM was also extremely flexible, the day before the wedding we asked them to come a couple hours early for set up due to weather concerns and it was not even close to being an issue. It's hard to put into words how incredible the band's performance was. We were adamant the hora had to be epic to start the night, epic is an understatement for what we got. It was 15 to 20 minutes of pure energy with the guests feeding off the band. The band played high energy dance music the entire night with only a few short breaks. We were involved in the selection of the music and the options and range the band could and did perform was across the genre spectrum. Our guests were on the dance floor from the beginning to the end, and I cannot tell you how many people during and after have told us we had the "best band ever," not even best wedding band ever, best band ever period. I think the loudest endorsement was from a groomsman who said "I'm stealing your band for my wedding" (he was single at the time). If you are getting married get a band, if you're getting a band get ROM, there is no question they were worth every penny from their professionalism to their performance they cannot be beat. -

Best wedding band ever!!!
Hiring RoM for our wedding was the BEST decision we made!!!! All of guests could not stop talking about how great they were – so many people told us they were the best wedding band they have ever seen!!! They had the guests on the dance floor all night and truly made the reception even better than we could have imagined.
A band was our #1 priority so we spent a lot of time looking into and going to see bands in the area. We knew we wanted a big band with a good mix of oldies and current hits on their song list - and most importantly a band that would get everyone on the dance floor and know how to keep the party going. Once we talked to Tiana and saw them live (at a 4th of July show they were playing) we were sold! From the time we hired them they were great to work with – responded quickly to any questions we had and went over the entire timeline with us so we knew how everything would flow on the wedding day. I would absolutely recommend RoM to anyone – you will not regret it!!

What a crowd-pleaser! ROM is a must for your wedding!
My husband was assigned the task of figuring out the music/entertainment for our wedding. We had first discussed hiring a DJ who'd play top 40's and some old school hiphop and RnB (my favorite type of music) at the beginning of the night, then at the end of the night we’d close with a live latin band since we love dancing cumbia, bachata, reggaeton, etc. Never would I have thought my husband would present me with a 9-piece band who would provide us with bilingual MC'ing, cocktail hour DJ service, and amazing music and vocals throughout the evening that covered my desire for top 40's, hiphop and RnB, and our passion for latin music. I was hesitant at first because I wanted certain pre-recorded songs played and wasn’t so sure how live covers of some songs would sound like, but upon our first phone consult with Tiana, I felt reassured and confident in what ROM was able to provide for us because of Tiana’s professionalism, personability, transparency, and knowledge and wisdom from working many weddings. She even invited us to crash one of their performances so that I could have a chance to feel them out and meet them in person before deciding to hire them. From the get-go, we had open communication, very detailed instructions, advice, and feedback which made planning our reception so effortless. Tiana listened to what we wanted and worked closely with us. She was patient and encouraging and helped keep us on track when we said we wanted to create our own first dance song. She accepted our last minute request for a live rendition of my father-daughter dance song choice, and it was beautiful and memorable. ROM also took care of our reception timeline for us, which helped me and my wedding coordinator out incredibly. ROM did it all. Not only were we impressed, but our guests left singing and dancing, not wanting the night to end. We definitely wanted to get all our guests out on the dancefloor with us, and ROM did it despite having the challenge of getting my husband's family from Mexico, my family from the Philippines, and our friends from all over the US, young and old, up to dance. They knew what our crowd wanted. Hiring ROM was definitely the right decision and worth every penny. It really should be our friends and family writing this review because they were the ones saying how ROM made the wedding celebration extra spectacular! When you put your trust in ROM, they will deliver an evening that will leave your guests with great memories of dancing the night away with you. -

G.O.A.T (Greatest of All Time)!!!
Tiana and the R.O.M. team went above and beyond to make our wedding dreams come true! I first reached out to Tiana in January of this year thinking there was no chance they would have my wedding weekend open as I was getting married in October of the same year. With a heart full of high hopes I called, and to my (and her supprise) they still had that weekend open!!!! Tiana took call from myself and my mother over the next week and walked us through options, packages, and song selections. She was warm, fun, spunky and helped me get to the heart of what we invisioned for our wedding (big time dance party). Including, taking into account my request for no "grinding music" lol ( I really was not mentally prepared to see my 95 year old grandma "get low." Tiana just chuckled and knew exactly what we meant/ what we were looking for! We had a 190 person wedding with a mix of ages ranging from 3 months to 90+ as well as an expectation to deliver on some Italian favorites!!! Oh boy did they!!! My guests were not able to contain themselves during our 5 course meal and to our delight danced and grooved to their favorite tunes even before the dance floor was officially open!!! My favorite part of any wedding is of course the dancing/ music. I soo apreciated R.O.M.'s ability to put my guests at ease to just feel the music and dance whenever they felt called. After, dinner they picked up the beat and really started to jam!!! They kept the energy up, dance floor packed and guests entertained. We invited a lively crew and instructed the band to not hold back on guest participation. They taught us sweet dance moves to "rollin on the river" and even conspired with my mother on an epic flash mob. ( I am still shocked my mom was able to keep a secrete from me). The R.O.M. team was so engaging and truly kept our guests happy and entertained. It allowed me to be where I wanted to be the whole night on the dance floor surrounded by family and friends. I loved that they were not afraid to come down into the crowd and at the end even pulled us up on stage for the final number! Nothing will ever beat crowd surfing as our "grand exit" I cannot get over how well they read the crowd, encouraged silliness, and helped us throw the party of our lives. They are worth every penny!!! Tiana and the team we want to send the biggest THANK YOU ever!!! We love you all soo much and will have to make a special trip down to San Diego to catch a show we we can relive the magic!!! -

We absolutely loved having Tiana and the Republic of Music at our wedding! You need to book them for yours too! Our experience with them was truly phenomenal from start to finish.
Tiana and the band are so talented, creative, and still super professional and organized - how often do you see that combination? They were the life of the party, and our wedding was a huge hit with all of our guests largely due to ROM.
We would whole-heartedly say that ROM is worth every dime of the money we spent. We wouldn’t change a thing, and work with them again in a heartbeat! Who knows, maybe for an anniversary party? :)

Our wedding was one month ago and I'm STILL excited about how amazing the band was! I always knew I wanted a band for my wedding, as it brings a more elegant ambience with a much more energetic and fun vibe. ROM went above and beyond my expectations with their talent and energy. Our guests are still telling us how amazing the band was. I did a lot of research on various wedding websites and ROM kept getting the best reviews. I watched so many of their videos, particularly the live wedding videos to make sure they indeed sounded and performed well LIVE. From the initial consultation, Tiana helped me form a very detailed timeline from scratch, which we ended up using verbatim for our event.
Our wedding was mixed with Vietnamese and American guests, from little kids to 80 year olds. We wanted to keep it classy but also wanted a real party. Cocktail hour music with the quartet set a very chill and classy vibe with "easy listening" music. The dinner music was like a performance show. We had a 7 person band with vocalists Kory, Ginny, and Victoria who each had amazing voices. They played a variety of top 40s at a volume low enough so people could still talk at their tables. For our first dance, they learned a remix version of our song and even added the beautiful element of Ginny's violin playing (at one point in the night I remember seeing Ginny rocking out on the violin while bending backwards!!). Then came the after dinner party where the band absolutely rocked the house, playing music for all ages from current top 40s to ballroom music to hip hop to 80s and 90s music. They also danced while they performed. Kory emceed the entire event with the night flowing smoothly. The dance floor was packed til the very end of the night. The energy was so high that my husband even went crowd surfing!
I have zero regrets about ROM. They were well worth the money. I cannot wait to book them again for our next big event. -

Republic of Music brang the house DOWN. My wife and I decided that having live music at our wedding was the right call, and RoM rocked all night long. We found out about them by searching online, and after speaking with Tiana and watching some videos of their creative + professional performances, we were smitten. RoM worked with us to find the right combination of songs and medleys, dinner music, and even got the groomsmen and groom to perform a suprise song for guests. Everything was perfect and RoM made our wedding even more special -- you better believe there was a conga line. If you can book RoM for your next special event, don't hesitate! They are top notch performers and will make it a night to remember! -

We are OVER THE MOON about ROM's performance at our wedding that took place at the Prado Balboa Park! In my opinion, your band and photographer are the two most important decisions you make for your wedding day! I was very thorough when researching for a band and ultimately chose ROM due to reviews and feedback received from my other vendors. Tiana and ROM exceeded our expectations from start to finish. When we selected ROM, Emily & Tiana helped us customize our day from songs, to lighting, to cocktail hour musicians, to wardrobe for the band, order of reception, MC details, etc.... and made great suggestions and were very organized in leading us through the process which made it stress-free for me as the planner/bride! I immediately clicked with Tiana and her team as passion for what they do exudes from each and every one of them! Our reception was off the charts fun! I credit this to ROM because there was not a person sitting during our reception. They had everyone on the dance floor, young and old and my guests have not stopped raving about our AMAZING band selection and how they've never been to a wedding that felt like a concert performance! I will forever be thankful for my decision in selecting ROM as they made our wedding even that much more magical and I CANNOT say ENOUGH WONDERFUL THINGS ABOUT THEM!!! They all will forever hold a special place in our hearts for the memorable fun and musical talent they gifted us with on our wedding day! Thank you so much for everything Republic of Music!-

Oh my gosh - where do I begin?! Just stop your search and book ROM now! Seriously. They truly made our night AND they sound beautiful!! 2 weeks later and we're still getting messages about "the best band they'd ever heard". Music is VERY important to me. And I am picky. I wanted to make sure everyone was on the dance floor and that both cultures were included. And working with Tiana and friends was just effortless and they worked with every little change we made last minute! We even crowd surfed at the end and it was amazing!! Honestly, they knew how to engage with the crowd, felt their energy and played off them. They knew how to get everyone back on the dance floor, just naturals with everything. Gosh, they even rap! Tiana also asked me if I had preferences as to what they should wear! Who does that?! I WISH WE COULD DO IT AGAIN, YOU GUYS! LOVE YOU SO MUCH!! Til we meet again! XORepublic of Music's reply:
Brianna & Edem, you guys are such rad human beings! Not only was your wedding GORGEOUS (I mean, seriously, I refuse to perform again if there isn't light strands dripping from the majestic trees above my head LOL) but you and your friends were soooo fun! I wish the whole world embodied the magic of your wedding....love, beauty, playfulness and unifying humanity. From Edem's Ghanaian family, to your Italian family, to your East Coast friends, and your West Coast party animals, my team and I basked in all the culture and diversity of your amazing group. I'll never forget the moment you both stood under your flower-filled ceremony arch with the mountains behind you as our guitar and pianist played Canon in D or the moment you guys danced your first dance to "Thinking Out Loud" as all of your wedding party stood in front of us holding each other and swaying...those moments are absolutely unforgettable! Thank you too for introducing us to such an incredible venue, Saddlerock Ranch in Malibu is one of our new favorites. We loved that it's a wildlife sanctuary and my all-time favorite was getting to meet Stanley the Giraffe (did you know he was in the movie, Hangover 2?!). We also fell in love with your coordinator, Sarah Bond from Grace & Gold Events! Can we please stay in touch?! Love you guys so much! XO, Tiana -

Republic of Music is AMAZING. They made our wedding. Not only did all of our guests rave about them at the wedding, but I am still getting messages weeks later about how amazing our band was. We had a fairly unique request of a mix of both Latin and pop music. Tiana worked with us to create the perfect playlist.They provided wonderful recommendations about what would sounds good and what types of instruments we needed. I could not have dreamed of better music. Not only do they sound wonderful, but their enthusiasm is incredible. I wish we could have them play all over again! -

My husband and I had ROM at our wedding in La Quinta last month and they were THE best!! Not many people have bands at their weddings these days but ROM does not disappoint. We live in Hermosa Beach and it was hard to choose a band....but I spent so much time online wedding planning...this is one to check of your list easy-- book them...the made my 70 year old parents and their friends thrilled, our 30 & 40 year old friends LOVED and my 6 year old nephew didn't stop dancing all night. They are amazing...look no further! The array of music they play is insane and they keep the party going. We had them go for OT obviously!! They are incredible. -

Republic of Music was awesome! All my guests commented on how fantastic the band was, many of them saying they were best ever! The band kept our guests dancing and the party flowing. My husband played trumpet with them on a song and my 10 year nieces got up on stage and sang "Shake it off" with the band. The other thing I really appreciated is that they made the planning really easy with clear outlines/timelines and a couple key planning calls. I would highly recommend. -

Incredible Band!!!
When my wife Nicole and I were making our list of priorities for the perfect wedding, right at the top was music/band. We envisioned an energetic wedding that allowed our guests to let loose and get their dancing on. Republic of Music (ROM) was exactly what we had envisioned! Our reception alone was a whopping 6 hours and ROM held it down for the entirety. Their ability to feel out the crowd and give everyone what they didn’t even know they wanted was truly the craftsmanship of a well-oiled band. When it came close to the end of our reception Tina and the crew brought both of us out on stage and had us crowd surf! I’m not sure that any other band with this type of talent could pull off a feat like this. ROM was also the best when it came to requests and I’m not speaking of simple music requests but requests to have two different songs performed by members of our family with of course the support of the entire band. It was pretty spectacular to have our guests so engaged in our night and wear the soles off their shoes!
I will also say that prior to the big day Tina and her team were nothing but professional and extremely creative when it came to helping us outline the timeline. They made themselves very available and were attentive to our ideas. Nicole and I live in Georgia, but despite the distance we felt very well taken care of during the preparation of our San Diego wedding.
If you’re looking for an amazing band that will have your guests claim your wedding the best they’ve attended then look no further – Republic of Music is a class act with the talent to blow the roof off any wedding.

Book them now! I am not sure what to say other than they rock! Tiana and team were incredible through the entire process and they literally made our wedding amazing. We had over 300 people at our wedding and I think every single person there asked us what the bands name was and told us how amazing they were. Our wedding was in October 2017 and I am still having people tell me how amazing the band was and I absolutely agree. My wife and I kept making changes up until a week before the wedding and Tiana rolled with it seamlessly and blew our expectations out of the water and put on an incredible performance, both for our ceremony and reception as well as cocktail hour. Also, my wife and I were really bad about giving them any direction as far as where and when to set up and Tiana took the reigns and got it done! The band had a 30ft x 30ft dance floor filled the ENTIRE night and I saw people dancing that have never danced before in their life. If you are worried about having multiple genres of music, stop worrying. We had every genre possible from country to pop to 50's to rock and they were incredible at each and every genre. I honestly cannot say enough, they are incredible. Tiana was able to make suggestions for songs for specific activities such as the garter retrieval and toss and just made the whole process easier for us. She was even able to convince us to crowd surf during the last song of the night and it was EPIC.-

We heard Tiana at our venue's open house one night and my husband hired them on the spot for our ceremony and cocktail hour. Tiana's vocals were amazing and soulful! And her version of some 90's songs were on point! My husband and I couldn't really listen to her during cocktail hour because we were of course busy taking our photos. But the feedback from our guests were all positive and had such a fun time during cocktail hour. We're so glad we hired them for our wedding! She definitely was great kick off for the reception! -

If I could give this band 10 stars I would!! From our first conversation on the phone a year ago, to hugs at the end of our big day, Tiana and crew were nothing short of amazing. They were so professional and easy to work with, and willing to go the extra mile to make our wedding fun for everyone. They genuinely love what they do and want everyone around them signing and dancing! I was truly sad to say goodbye to them at the end of the night!
Everyone I talked to at our reception asked where we found the band. We received so many compliments from guests saying it was the best live band they have ever heard and the best wedding they have ever been to. It was so special to hear and see all of our family and friends enjoying themselves!
ROM did an amazing job reading the crowd and playing the perfect songs to fit all of our guests' styles. We had people out on the dance floor until the very end, people dancing who don't normally dance, and even our older relatives had a great time watching everyone tear up the dance floor.
I am still dreaming about dancing the night away with this awesome band. They even fulfilled my dream of getting up on stage and singing Taylor Swift with them! And did I mention they had my husband and I crowd surfing?!? AMAZING.
THANK YOU REPUBLIC OF MUSIC!!!
Republic of Music's reply:
You're too kind, Monica! We loved performing for you, Dan and your amazing family! Seriously, your dad killed his speech! I can't believe he re-wrote Eminem's song, Lose Yourself, and rapped it in front of all 250 of your friends & family...hands down the best Father of the Bride speech ever! I'm so glad that everyone was so happy dancing with us all night. I knew how important it was to you that the music merged both of your culturally diverse families. We loved playing for such an eclectic crowd between your Polish side (who seriously knew how to Polka!), your Hispanic family and all of your American friends. And who knew that Led Zeppelin would unite them all?! LOL! Seriously though, your cousin Tony was uh-mazing on the drums! I'm so glad we could include him in our performance..that was a straight up rock concert there for a minute! And you sang the heck out of Taylor Swift! And can I just tell you, my entire team was so touched by your generosity with that abundant basket of snacks; thank you for taking such good care of us! The fastest way to a musicians heart is yummy snacks, LOL! We don't often get to perform in Yorba Linda but we now have an incredible memory there because of your beautiful celebration. Until we meet again, friends! XOXO, Tiana -

BOOK THEM! It will be the best decision you have made for your wedding day! The best wedding band we have ever seen! We checked out a few bands before booking ROM and once we saw ROM it was no question. The talent combined with knowing how to throw a fun party is unreal. Such a great group of people! Tiana is a sweetheart and was a dream to work with. Her goal was 100% to make our vision come to life and they did with perfect success. We had guests from all over the country and they kept commenting that it was the best wedding and best band they had ever seen. The energy and flow they created for us was so amazing and set such a great tone through our whole day. ROM is so on point that you will be blown away come your wedding day, I promise. We had so much fun we want to repeat our wedding day with them over and over again. We can't recommend them enough - AMAZING BAND!!! -

The perfect finishing touch ! The Republic of Music did an amazing job at my wedding and cocktail hour. My husband and I love live music and we truly enjoyed listening to them at a Wedgewood open house. We quickly booked them for our wedding. We couldn’t have been more impressed. Fantastic song choices, the Guitarist was amazing and Tiana was incredible! She sang a Tom Petty song that was an inside family joke but turned out to be an amazing song to arrive to. Thank you Republic of Music for making my wedding truly story book quality. Everyone all evening kept telling us that it was the most fun and most beautiful wedding they had ever been to. We couldn’t have done it without you. -

We had a short period of time to put together a wedding. The Republic of Music, led by Tiana, made the event! Tiana gave us recommendations on the entire timeline, then held our hands as we made all of our choices. At the event, Tiana was our emcee and the band was AMAZING!! Great singers, incredibly huge song list, wonderful musicians and fantastic energy! Everyone had the BEST time! I highly recommend ROM for your events! -

RoM absolutely made our wedding night. The guests raved & my husband and I had the best night of our lives. They are so special & totally the best sounding band with the best hearted people.
We didn't want a DJ for our wedding & although we knew a band would be more expensive, we wanted the band experience. We searched many sites & of the reviews, RoM was the only band that didn't have any bad reviews. Hesitantly, we decided to reach out for more information.
Tiana & Emily were quick to respond & we had a chat with Tiana over the phone. They were playing a local casino & told us to come out to see them before we made a decision about hiring them. We went out & and the moment we heard them play Proud Mary by Tina Turner, we knew this was the band for us. At the casino, every single person was on the dance floor & the band had moves that they taught the crowd before they performed the song.
Once we decided to book them, we had a few phone calls with Tiana to make sure everything was in order.
Flash forward to the wedding day-so many things to say!
MC: Tiana was the best! She is so calm, cool, and collected but she is a master at reading the crowd & knows when to rally!
First dance: we decided to have open-dancing for a few songs after the 1st Dance. Best decision ever!
Dinner music: We really enjoyed the songs they played and it wasn't too loud as we could still talk to guests and greet them.
Highlights: me on stage playing the piano (they let me rock out to a song), singing battle with bride & groom side, and CROWD SURFING! This was the talk of the night!
From the bottom of our hearts we want to thank RoM for making our wedding the best night for all of us. My dad said ours was the best wedding he's ever been to, even his own! We could not be happier with our choice to hire RoM.
We're actually sad we won't be able to interact with Tiana on a regular basis, but we'd so hire them again in the future.
Thanks again & we love you
Xo, David & Erika -

If you are interested in my detailed experience with RoM, read below. For those of you who'd like a quick review about them, just wanted to say that without a doubt, Republic of Music absolutely made our wedding night. All of the guests raved about them, and my husband and I had the best night of our entire lives thanks to Tiana and her gang. This band is extremely special, and without a doubt the best sounding band with the best hearted people.

ROM you guys are absolutely amazing! We were so happy with how wonderful you guys were playing at our wedding. The live music really made our reception special. We loved Tiana's vocals and the amazing team of musicians at ROM. A very big Thank You to everyone at ROM!
We have to say working with ROM during the planning process was delightful. We were in contact with Emily and Tiana whom were super friendly and a pleasure to work with. They had an incredible list of songs from different genres to choose from. The consult we had with Tiana the month before the wedding was super thorough; we went over all our song options and preferences. Tiana was also our talented MC for the evening and she went over all the details of our timeline; making sure there was enough timing between games, toasts, etc.
We got so many compliments for the band. Pretty much all our guests were on the dance floor til the end of the wedding. Definitely book them for your event! -

A-M-A-Z-I-N-G.
Short version - my husband and I received SO many compliments on RoM. Everyone, young and old, was on the dance floor the entire night. The band had a great gauge of what songs people wanted to hear and essentially customized the entire set to make the crowd happy. It was a blast and I would hire them again, 100%. Incredibly professional, showed up early, and ensured that everything ran smoothly, start to finish.
Long version - while looking for a band, our planner told us to reach out to RoM owner, Tiana Hartsten. After speaking with Tiana, we knew they were perfect for us. We loved their high energy, flexibility, professionalism, and overall quality of service. They provided two musicians for our ceremony; three musicians for our cocktail hour, and then a 10 piece band for our reception. At no point did we feel pressured to add on 'extras' to our package and if anything, Tiana and her team helped customize our package for what we wanted (example - we really wanted a fiddle player and lo and behold, in addition to being the owner and a lead vocalist, Tiana is also an incredible fiddler/electric violin player).
The set options are versatile and the band can basically go in any direction that a couple envisions. My husband and I wanted a mix of mainstream songs, oldies, country, and some jazz - the band did a terrific job touching on every theme we wanted and even learned our first dance song, as that wasn't already in their repertoire. We received so many compliments on the band - my husband's 95 year old grandmother didn't want to leave the dance floor!
We have so many special memories from our wedding day and of our dance floor and the band was one of the key players in making that time so wonderful. We would recommend them wholeheartedly! -

Fantastic! When interviewing our vendors for our out of town wedding, we asked each one who to go to for a live band. Every single one recommended ROM. After about 10 solid recommendations we were set! They were very easy to work with and they really know how to walk you through the process. They also really worked with me to stay in budget and still have the wedding of my dreams! -

Stop your search right here and HIRE THIS BAND. I got married three months ago and the #1 comment I still get from people is "YOUR BAND WAS INCREDIBLE". There were a lot of question marks for me in wedding planning, but the one thing I knew was we needed an incredible band who could keep everyone on the dance floor the whole night. This is your band. Their #1 skill (beyond being reasonably priced and so lovely to work with) is reading the crowd and adjusting their set list in real time to give your guests what they want. I gave them a list of must-hears and do not plays, but from there they just rocked it. Their energy is also second to none. Now back to working with them - Tiana spent so much time with me helping to design my ideal party. She really listened to the vibe I wanted to create and gave great suggestions (even on the timeline I was working on with my planner) to keep the energy up.
I interviewed a lot of bands before I found Republic of Music who were more expensive, had bigger egos and just seemed a little more difficult to work with. Take it from me - save your money, save yourself the headache, and give your guests a party they will keep talking about long after the wedding - hire these guys!! -

Holy $h*t, they were absolutely amazing! I'm the groom and I usually don't use expletives or write reviews (wife's orders), but the Republic of Music deserves both. I've never been to a wedding with a live band, so when they came to ours (also my wife's vision) I was so blown away. They add this completely warm energy and unique experience to the surrounding that allowed everyone to relax, loosen up, and just party!
They played anything you wanted, they covered mainly top 40 by our request, but they sounded better then the original artists. We didn't have a lot of time to enjoy the band as we were taking pics and making rounds, but I saw everyone having a good time...I even saw my mom dancing, she is an Asian Tiger Mom, and even she was dancing!!
They came with a full band, 3 vocalist, AND a DJ; they also brought lighting. So for the price - it was definitely worth it as hiring a DJ on it's own was almost that price.
We are also a muslim couple and they were more than accommodating to any request that we had in terms of attire and music selection.
If you want your wedding to have the extra special touch that increases the experiences to both you and your guests, get this band, they will make an impression that will last forever. -

Getting an amazing band was priority numero uno for our wedding and after reading tons of reviews, I was already pretty sold on them. Once we sat down with Tiana, we were practically begging to sign a contract.
We got the nine piece band for our wedding and on an epic day full of highlights, I think they take top honors. Our party simply would not have been as great without them. We weren’t really interested in doing the “traditional” wedding things – grand entrance, first dance, cake cutting, etc. and Tiana worked with us to make sure the evening was everything we envisioned, including letting the crowd dictate the flow and timeline. I think it takes an extremely professional crew who truly know their stuff to be able to take on that endeavor.
They sang, they grooved, they rapped, they learned songs just for us, and they incorporated a last minute request that I made the day before the wedding. You know you have a good thing going when the oldest and youngest guests at the party are in agreement that they are “the best band ever!” But beyond the music, they are down to earth, gracious, and just seem like a fun bunch to be around – I kind of want to become a roadie now.
I also know two people in the hotel business who have seen tons of weddings and they, too, think ROM is the best in the biz. If I were a bajillionaire, I would hire them to play at my house every Friday night just so I could dance by myself. Hurry up and snatch them up before they’re booked – you absolutely will not regret it.

Republic of Music is awesome at what they do. They add so much energy into whatever event they are a part of. Working with Tiana the owner and lead vocalist was a pleasure. She was very sweet and committed to providing us with what ever we needed. She packaged the entertainment to meet our budget and delivered classy entertainment. She was extremely easy to work with and the band was very good. They were very professional and we would highly recommend them for any function. They are truly able to be the entertainment you need and love.

ROM is by far the best and most professional band I have ever had the pleasure of meeting and working with. Being a musician myself it was very important to have a band for our wedding that could not only play the music we wanted, but sound as authentic as possible. From start to finish Tiana made sure she got to know us and what we wanted. We were a bit worried since we are not from San Diego and had to take care of everything from WA, but this group is top class. Tiana and the group performed each song to perfection. My now wife and I have a very broad and differing taste in music from Top 40 to alt rock to R&B to disco and funk. ROM put together a set list that hit every one of those genres and kept the crowd on the dance floor the entire time. Not once was there an empty space up there. We were worried about that because the venue we had our reception at, William D. Evans boat at the Bahia, has an outside deck and the weather was amazing. But people were constantly coming back inside. They are by far the most accommodating and professional group in San Diego. I highly recommend them if you want a packed dance floor and want exactly what you are paying for. -

Republic of Music is hands down the best live entertainment band that I have ever had the pleasure of working with. I manage events for a living and have worked with many different types of entertainment companies, and to-date, no one has been more professional, accommodating, inspiring and as versatile as they are. I have hired them to work my corporate events, and knew that when it came time to hire my own wedding entertainment, I HAD to choose them! They went above and beyond to set the mode, tone and ambiance throughout my wedding ceremony, cocktail hour and reception. They play to the crowd and have a wide range of genres and performances to please any audience and venue. They can scale the size and type of live entertainment to fit your budget and have uniquely themed costumes, and choreography for almost every song that they perform live! I've used them as an acoustic vocal performance, live country band, live karaoke band and their DJ services. They truly do it all, and always exceed expectations! No matter the occasion or crowd I would ALWAYS choose them to cater to my audience and am confident in saying that anyone who hires them is in great hands! -

Republic of Music totally MADE our wedding... They classed it up for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and dinner - then made it a PARTY! Music was very important to us and when choosing our band, we were looking for a good balance between talent and professionalism. We got all of that and more with ROM. The entire process was so easy for me including the wedding day... ROM was self-sufficient and knew what they were doing. They're a quality vendor and made our day absolutely amazing! All of our guests told us they loved the band... they are so much fun and bring so much energy - my sister and I even got on stage with them!! -

ROM is far more AMAZING than any video clip will portray, they kept everyone on the dance floor all night! Not to mention the number of guests I had ask me how it was that we discovered them followed by how incredible they were... job well done is sincerely an understatement here!!!
From the first moment I connected with Tiana, I felt like we were long lost friends; her level of enthusiasm, genuine interest and experience were outstanding! As enthusiast of live music, I must admit we were slightly nervous about booking a band sight unseen but again Tiana went out of her way to provide us with video timing of song clips she knew we were interested in for our big day to set us at ease. That was only the beginning, all the way up to the very last moment of our event the entire band were an absolute pleasure to work with and found a way to bring many of guests to their feet, including those that would never otherwise shake their groove thing :) -

Republic of Music is AMAZING! Owner, Tiana, is incredible to work with. She is knowledgeable and thorough during the planning process (not to mention she has great energy) and makes planning simple and stress free! The band on our wedding night (we had a 9 piece band) was perfection. They learned two new songs for us to make the night personalized and special. They are VERY high energy which was important to us and literally kept the dance floor packed from beginning to end. Not only were my husband and I thrilled, but we received countless compliments from guests. -

Worth every dime! Like booking anything sight unseen, there is always that small pit in your stomach wondering if you made the right decision for your important day. ROM far surpassed all 0f our expectations, I just can't recommend enough!! I worked specifically with Tiana and Fairlight. Both were professional and understanding of our vision making their own AWESOME suggestions along the way. There are no words to explain how great the TALENT is. The vocalists are very eclectic performing all genres from Adele to Bon Jovi to The Stones. The dance floor was never empty...mission accomplished. We are already thinking about throwing another party just to have them back!! If you are on the fence about having this band at your wedding or party...make cuts in every other area. No on will remember your centerpieces or cake but they will remember never wanting to leave that dance floor!! It's a no brainer and you won't regret it! -

If you want a full dance floor all night, then this is the band for you! ROM is extremely talented & fun!!! Tiana is so easy to work with, nice, very organized and professional! She had our entire reception timeline planned after the first phone call. I felt incredibly comfortable and confident with Tiana after our first conservation and she continued to provide outstanding customer service throughout the end of our wedding night. She works with your budget and makes excellent suggestions to keep costs in your price range. Their extraordinary expertise and contagious energy has kids, guys/people who normally don’t dance and aunties dancing all evening long. Tiana didn’t stray away from what we discussed, she stuck with the timeline, she played all the “must have” songs and did not play the“do not play” songs even if people requested them. To this day, our wedding guests continue to say “who was that band? They are awesome!” I highly recommend ROM for your wedding or any event!!! Thanks for making our special day literally the best day ever! -

Republic of Music performed wedding band and DJ functions at our wedding and they were absolutely fantastic. They worked with us to create a custom package of awesomeness that fit exactly the vibe we were looking to create for us and our guests. Tiana was a pleasure to work with, regarding scheduling, logistics, playlists, and every other detail you can imagine. The band and music became a no-worry thing and helped to make the day very much stress free for us. They played a variety of tunes and were right at home playing several different styles. They even pulled my husband up on stage to play the drums and surprise me. It was unbelievable. I highly recommend them to play or DJ your wedding!

My husband and I hired ROM for our wedding after seeing them perform at my friends wedding. We had so much fun at their wedding we knew that was the type of party we wanted at our wedding. This band is so professional, will wear Whatever is requested to fit the theme, and send over an elaborate timeline so everyone is on the same page. Tiana worked well with me as well as with our wedding coordinator. We had a few musicians for our ceremony, a couple more for our cocktail hour, a seven piece band for our wedding, and closed it out with DJ Treflip. The band was amazing, kept everyone dancing all night, and Treflip did the same. I can't wait for our family to have another celebration so we can hire ROM again. Hands down the BEST! -

We had RoM play at our wedding almost a month later and I'm still getting compliments from our family and friends on the band. Seriously. They were AWESOME! Tiana was great and highly communicative on what exactly she needed from us. Her worksheet was super informative and even helped us plan the whole night! We loved that they were able to play so many songs that we requested and others in that vein (we wanted a 50's-60's vibe with a few newer songs mixed in). We absolutely loved the energy and passion that they brought to our event!

Josh and I married September 6th at the Scripps Forum in La Jolla and Republic of Music (ROM) made our wedding day the BEST DAY EVER!!!! Since I had been planning our wedding from Washington, I didn't get to see the band live prior to our wedding. My dad and siblings went to see ROM play at Club M in Del Mar and they were blown away!! I was already impressed by the reviews and YouTube videos I had seen and read. I knew they were going to be the perfect match for our wedding day and I was totally right!! ROM is professional, fun, amazing and freakishly good at their craft! Vocals were ON POINT and the musicians brought the funk!! We opted to splurge on horns two weeks before the wedding and it was a great decision!! Our guests LOVED the band and their personalities and stage presence set the mood for the night. I cannot say enough about Tiana and how amazing she is to work with. She eased my way from the moment I spoke with her. (I had already booked another band but changed my mind once I was told about ROM) She provided me with piece of mind and made our day run so smoothly. The band did an excellent job keeping our day on schedule and emceed the entire event perfectly. It was really comforting to know that our families could enjoy the evening and not have to worry about making announcements or keeping the night on schedule. Dinner music was amazing, slower songs really allowed you hear just how amazingly talented the vocalists are. As the evening progressed Josh and I did not stop dancing all night along with our guests! My sisters and I also got to be bandmates for the day and sing with the band which was pretty epic!! My dad is a man of few words, but he couldn’t stop talking about the band for days!! He already said he wants to book ROM for their 40th wedding anniversary!! If you’re looking for a band for your big event, stop looking!!! You have found who you are looking for!! ROM will not disappoint! Your biggest fans! Mr. & Mrs. Calkins -

I can't put into words how fantastic this band is. My wedding was last Friday and I'm still getting calls about how great the music was. In fact, one of my guests made it a point to tell my wife that this was the most fun she's ever had at a wedding.
The band made it a point to engage with our guests and they absolutely loved it. To be honest, my wife and I thought that we wouldn't get many people to dance, but Tiana and a gentlemen who was also singing did a great job of loosening up the crowd.
They reached out and drew everyone in as they also acted as MCs and were gracious enough to take requests. I was a jerk and asked despite knowing that there was no time to rehearse, but despite what many would see as a disadvantage Tiana and the rest exceeded expectation with passion and gusto.
They also showed a versatility that blew us away. They were exuberant professionals and talented artists who transitioned without, excuse the pun, missing a beat.
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND. -

I have to say, despite the GAZILLION positive reviews of these guys I was still quite nervous about booking a band I'd never seen or heard in person. Thank goodness I went with my gut and trusted the reviews as they were ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!! Seriously, they made the wedding and people are still talking about them! I opted for the 'let us do our thang' package due to a wedding I had been to before where the bride/groom gave set songs for the poor band, who played them well, but emptied the dance floor. RoM were able to keep the dancefloor packed the entire time - and I had a DAYTIME wedding so was a bit concerned no one would want to dance!!! From the get go, almost a year ago, Tiana has been very attentive and keeping my butt in line recommended timelines, updates, etc.. she's a practical wedding planner!! They played the instruments perfectly, and their voices.. OMG - you guys should offer a CD for each wedding cause we could listen to you over and over again! Not only that, but when Tiana saw that the bridal party was sitting in direct sunlight (oopsie, didn't think of that!) she ran over and gave me like 5 pairs of their own glasses!!!! Unreal. Blown away. You'd be crazy to not go with these guys, message me if you need any more information!!!! -

One of the aspects of our wedding that my husband and I were most picky about was our band. We had a destination wedding on Coronado Island and we really wanted a band that could show all of our guests a good time. Republic of Music was so easy to work with, they communicated extremely well and were accommodating to our music selections. They learned two new songs for our first dance and father/daughter dance that were awesome! The night of the wedding, they played to the crowd and I don't think I ever saw the dance floor empty. Our guests had a great time interacting with them and getting on stage - even playing the instruments! I highly recommend Republic of Music for any event! -

Truly, Republic of Music made our wedding an event to remember! From the first time we saw RofM at Club M, to working with Tiana via email and in person, to the night of the wedding, they made the planning process easy, and they absolutely rocked our wedding! It was the most fun day of our lives, and that was in large part due to this band! Not only are they incredibly talented musicians, but they are extremely professional! Multiple wedding guests commented on how amazing they are, so much so that a few brides to be are going to book them, and we have plans to attend their performances in the future. We loved working with RofM and cannot compliment them enough on how amazing they are! -

Republic of Music (ROM), in my opinion, is one of the best live band/entertainment in the industry.
There are three major things that impressed me about ROM.
One: Musical Expertise. All the band members are professional musicians, and they are very good at what they do. I understand how much effort, skill, and time it takes to be very good; these people invested a lot to be very good. The individual musicians, and the band as a whole, sound very well, and they play the songs almost like what you hear on the radio. I don’t think they made a glaring mistake; and if ever they made any mistakes, those are minimal, minor and unnoticeable (I didn’t notice; I was too busy enjoying the music).
Two: Fun & Professional. They may be good musicians, but they know how to work the crowd. They are lively. They smile a lot. They dance. In other words, they set the mood. In addition, when they are on stage, they don’t look like they’re working; they look like they are enjoying themselves. Also, our interactions with Tiana, Rick, Kori and the rest of the band are well-handled and professional. We never had any problems with them; it was an overall positive experience.
Three: Great Value. In my opinion, their service was worth upwards of ~ 7K-8K for a six-piece band (which we got) but we paid less than 5K. My wife and I got a great deal. My thought was: why pay a DJ 1K, maybe 2K, wherein you can add a couple of K’s and you get a live band? A live band has a different vibe/feel to it than a DJ.
I am very thankful and blessed to have known Republic of Music and to have them play at our wedding. They helped make our day fun and memorable. And if ever I find myself in need or want of a live band, I know who to call.

We recently had our wedding reception in SD at the US Grant hotel. Most of the vendors we hired to create our dream wedding were chosen from wedding websites which we were very pleased with, but the only thing we were missing was a live band. We hired a DJ months beforehand, however, in our hearts we knew we wanted a band and not a cheesy wedding band at that!!! After months and months of searching the Internet and being let down by a couple of unreliable artists, we were referred to the REPUBLIC OF MUSIC. At first we were a bit hesitant as this was one of the biggest days of our lives and we didn't want to be disappointed. Tiana!...Tiana! Tiana! She was amazing from start to finish! she was flexible...genuinely caring and really listened to exactly what we wanted. On the night of our wedding, when we entered the room, we were absolutely blown away by how beautiful Tiana, Korey and the band sounded. They managed to learn a requested song within a week and overall they were terrific. I would recommend them to any person who is willing to invest in live music for their event. All our guests at the wedding could not stop talking about how great the band and DJ were and I truly believe they made our wedding come to life. Thankyou so much to the Republic of Music...you are all so very talented and professional. -

ROM kicked butt. There are so many things to take care of a wedding day and the music was one thing we did not have to worry about. I believe I talked to Tiana once prior to see if everything was ok and she said not to worry.
They played at the ceremony, cocktail hour and reception. Total professional. Sound was perfect. Music ranging from jazz, blues, 60's to present. We chose most of our songs from their long list and ROM learned a couple of special songs that we wanted. Had everyone dancing the whole night. The next morning, everyone commented on how great the band was. Just a better party vibe with live music.
Thanks again Tiana and the band. You guys made our wedding a special one. -
