    Best wedding band EVER!

    We truly cannot say enough amazing things about the Riverside All-Stars! We loved working with Anthony and the entire band. They were professional, responsive, and took the time to really understand the overall vibe we wanted for the dance portion of our wedding. They absolutely nailed it.
    The energy they brought was incredible. We had so many guests come up to us throughout the night (and even after the wedding!) gushing about how phenomenal the band was. The dance floor was packed all night long, which was exactly what we hoped for! At one point, a family member was literally going around announcing to everyone that the band was about to start their second set because they didn’t want anyone to miss it. That’s how good they were.
    We also had them DJ music during dinner, which created the perfect atmosphere, and the jazz trio for cocktail hour was perfect.
    We would choose the Riverside All-Stars every single time and would recommend them to anyone for any event, not just weddings. They were such a huge part of what made our wedding unforgettable!

    The Riverside All-Stars's reply:

    Sarah!

    Thank you so much for the amazing review. It was an absolute pleasure working with you both and getting to be part of such a fun celebration.

    We love that the dance floor stayed packed and that your guests were excited for the second set means the world to us. We’re also really glad the jazz trio and dinner DJ set helped create the vibe you were going for throughout the night.

    Thank you again for trusting The Riverside All-Stars with such an important day. We wish you both all the best and hope to see you again somewhere down the road! -Anthony

    10/10 - would recommend!

    Anthony and the Riverside All-Stars were phenomenal. They played an amazing set, DJ'd our ceremony/cocktail hour/dinner, and did a DJ set at the end of the night for the silent disco. Our dance floor was full the whole night as they played a good variety of songs that made everyone want to partake. We had experienced them at my brother's wedding and they delivered again for ours! We would definitely work with them again and would recommend to anyone needing a fun, flexible, and energetic band. Bonus - they let me use the tambourine on a few songs which was fun :)

    The Riverside All-Stars's reply:

    Wow — thank you so much for this amazing review! It means the world to us that you invited us to be part of not just one, but two family weddings. That kind of trust is something we don’t take lightly, and we’re so happy we could help make your celebration unforgettable.

    We had an absolute blast playing for you and your crew! From the band to the silent disco, the energy was electric — and seeing that dance floor packed all night is exactly why we do what we do. Also, major shoutout for rocking that tambourine like a pro, haha!

    We’d be honored to work with you again anytime. Thanks again for your kind words, your trust, and your incredible energy. Wishing you all the love and joy in the world!

    With gratitude,
    Anthony & The Riverside All-Stars 🎶💃🕺✨

    They were great

    My son and daughter in law had them for their wedding and it could not have been better. Musically wonderful- vocals exceptional. Their energy carried the night. We all would recommend them wholeheartedly

    Amazing-Highly Recommend

    Easily surpassed expectations.

    Were very easy to work with in the time leading up to wedding. Walked through everything in simple terms and were comprehensive.

    Day of, they were timely, professional, and had the dance floor PACKED!

    Would recommend for any wedding or event.

    Thank you so much, Brian! We had an absolute blast being part of your big day. We always aim to make the planning process smooth and stress-free, so it means a lot to hear that it was easy for you. And packing the dance floor? That’s what we live for! Wishing you all the best, and thanks again for having us!

    Sarah and Evan’s Wedding

    We were recommended riverside all-stars by our wedding planner and the band exceeded our expectations!! They were so easy to work with and they absolutely crushed it at our reception. The music was fun and relevant and the band kept everyone so engaged. I do not think our wedding would have been nearly as great without the riverside all-stars performing. I also recommend adding the horn players for a full experience! I will definitely book this band again. Thank you!!

    The Riverside All-Stars's reply:

    Wow! Your kind words mean the world to us! 🥹✨ We are so thrilled to hear that The Riverside All-Stars helped make your wedding unforgettable! From start to finish, your celebration was filled with so much love, energy, and joy—it was an honor to be part of it! 🎶💃🕺

    And yes—the horns truly do take things to the next level! 🎺🎷 We’re so glad you enjoyed the full experience. Thank you for trusting us with such an important day, and we can’t wait to rock another event with you in the future! Wishing you both a lifetime of happiness! ❤️🎉

    With gratitude,
    The Riverside All-Stars 🎶

    Use this band!!!!

    They kept our dance floor PACKED all night long, and made it such a party! They were so great to work with, and accommodating for songs that we definitely wanted to hear. They learned our First Dance song for us with no problem. They made the whole music process easy from start to finish.

    We used them for music during the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception and I would recommend you do the same. We added the horn section to the band - and that was 100% worth it.

    Even still we are hearing compliments that the band was one of the best parts of our wedding! They are worth it!

    The Riverside All-Stars's reply:

    Thank you so much, Hannah! I'm so glad everything went as planned even with my random medical emergency. Everyone said your wedding was insanely fun. So bummed I couldn't be there but at the same time, immensely grateful for our team that seamlessly made everything happen even when thrown a major curveball.

    I'm beyond thrilled that you guys had such a great evening. Thank you so much for your kind words and we'll hopefully see you at a gig sometime soon! -Anthony & Riverside All-Stars

    Our Guests Favorite Part of Our Wedding

    We booked the band for our outdoor wedding and we are so glad we did! Each guest we talked to said they could’ve listened to the band for hours more, that it was a blast, and that they couldn’t believe they hadn’t heard of them before. Needless to say we are so grateful that they played at our wedding and the added horn sections are an awesome upgrade. Definitely recommend if you want people on the dance floor and talking about your wedding weeks later!

    The Riverside All-Stars's reply:

    Rachel! Thanks so much for the wonderful comments! The band had so much fun! Means so much to us that you took time to thank us this way! Until the next party! -Anthony and Riverside All-Stars

    Best wedding band!

    We LOVED the Riverside All-Stars! We hired them for our wedding and August and they killed it. First, Anthony (the band leader) was so easy to work with. Also, so cool - they will learn any song for you - so we requested a fairly obscure indie pop song and seriously they nailed it. Finally, we had a crazy turn of events where the power went out at our venue during the performance and the band was so kind and went to Home Depot to buy a generator for us to keep the party going. So many of my guests talked about the live music as the highlight of the evening and we couldn’t agree more. Definitely would recommend if you are looking for a talented, fun, thoughtful band to work with.

    The Riverside All-Stars's reply:

    Hey Michelle!

    Wow, thank you so much for the kind words! We're beyond thrilled that you loved the Riverside All-Stars and had such a memorable experience with us. That song request was such a cool challenge, and we had a blast learning it for your special day.

    And what an evening, right? Haha! The power going out was definitely an unexpected twist, but I’m so glad we could make it work and keep the party going.

    It was an absolute pleasure to be part of your wedding. Thanks again for trusting us, and we’re so happy we could help make your night unforgettable. Wishing you all the best!

    Take care,
    Anthony Bloch and The Riverside All-Stars!

    Band was amazing!

    Riverside All Stars was absolutely AMAZING!! They were better than we could have ever imagined! Our guests didn't leave the dance floor. The band read the room and played the right music. They were engaging and made the whole night so smooth! Thank you SO much!

    The Riverside All-Stars's reply:


    Claire! Absolutely thrilled to hear this! 🎉 Thank you so much for the kind words. We're so glad that you and your guests had such a fantastic time. It was our pleasure to keep the dance floor rocking and make the night unforgettable! Thanks so much for letting us celebrate with you! -Anthony

    Fantastic band for a wedding or party

    We used The Riverside Allstars for our July wedding and they were the absolute hit of the night. We got calls all week and complimented all night about how they were so good, so fun, and one of the best wedding bands our guests had heard. We had about 270 guests at the wedding and at least 1/3 of them went out of their way to comment about the band. 10/10 recommend!

    The Riverside All-Stars's reply:

    Wow, thank you so much for the incredible feedback! We're thrilled to hear that we were such a hit at your wedding. It was an absolute pleasure to be part of your special day, and knowing that your guests had such a fantastic time means the world to us. We loved every moment and are so happy we could make your celebration unforgettable. Thank you again for your kind words and for recommending us! 🎉💖 - Anthony and The Riverside All-Stars!

    Best wishes,
    The Riverside Allstars

    Best Wedding Band EVER!

    From the very first time we contacted the band to the last song of the evening, the band was a joy to work with and far exceeded our expectations for the music at the reception. Kyle and Anthony were incredibly helpful in walking us through timelines, offering suggestions and helping put together the evening that our daughter and her husband wanted. Our family has lost count how many guests made a point to tell us how fabulous the band was.
    We know which band we are hiring for the next family wedding!!

    The Riverside All-Stars's reply:

    Wow, thank you so much for the amazing feedback! We’re over the moon that the band could help make your daughter’s reception such a hit. We loved working with you to bring your vision to life, and it's fantastic to hear your guests enjoyed the music so much.

    We can’t wait to be part of your next family wedding! Thanks again for choosing us and for the kind words.

    Best,
    Anthony Bloch and The Riverside All-Stars

    Made our night truly special!!

    All our guests keep talking about is the BAND!! Seriously, they will be raving about the band for MONTHS. They were just the right energy we were hoping for, had a great mix of tunes, kept the party going, and were SO AWESOME to work with and have at our event. EVERYONE loved them, thanks for rocking with us on our special day!!

    The Riverside All-Stars's reply:

    Hey, Matt!

    Thanks a ton for the awesome feedback! We're thrilled to hear the band made your night so special and that your guests were buzzing about us!

    Professional, experienced, and brought the party!!

    So many wonderful things about this band. We chose them because they did such an amazing job at my brother's wedding a couple years ago. We booked them the week after our engagement, and it was the best decision we could have made!

    Reasons to book:
    1) Fast and easy communication. Loved the shared spreadsheet so we could share our ideas easily in a common space. Responded to all questions promptly and were open to different ideas.

    2) Last minute flexibility! Asked for a couple changes the day of the wedding, they gladly made those changes, and well!

    3) Ran the whole reception for you so you could enjoy it entirely!

    4) Amazingly talented. Kept our guests out on the dance floor for the entirety of their set! Their covers were spot on and so were their song choices! We received so many compliments from our guests!!

    5) Our first dance - they learned our song for us as part of our wedding package and absolutely nailed it.

    6) They worked with the father of the bride to have him do a 2-song set at the reception with the band. Not only were they enthusiastic about the idea, but worked with him to make sure everything ran smoothly. It was so special to have him sing!

    7) Their experience with weddings was obvious throughout the whole planning process and the day of. As the wedding couple, we weren't worried about a thing. :)

    If we had to do the planning process again, we would book this band in a heartbeat. Thank you so much to Riverside Entertainment! I would recommend to anyone who wants a band!

    Absolutely incredible!!!

    The Riverside All-Stars were everything we were looking for in a wedding band and more. Their music ranged across all genres and every song sounded great. The power went out at our venue, and Anthony (the drummer) was incredible at getting the mics and speaker running off a generator and they were able to quickly shift gears again when power came back on. He communicated clearly with me and is the only reason why I didn't lose my mind while the power was out :) They were absolutely instrumental in how smooth our day went. We can't recommend them enough.

    The Riverside All-Stars's reply:

    Thank you so much for the amazing review! We're over the moon that you loved it! We're so glad we could help make sure everything ran smoothly, even with the power hiccup.

    Wedding band

    My husband and I got married in October and hiring Riverside All-Stars was the BEST decision we made when planning our wedding! From the start Kyle was amazing to work with- so professional, helpful, and very prompt with responding. Anthony was a great MC and the band was BEYOND amazing! The range of songs that they performed was incredible. Not only were they so talented, they were so engaging and fun! They kept our whole group engaged and dancing the night away. It was a core moment for us and our families and close friends- we all just had the best time. Our guests are still talking about how it was the best wedding band they’ve ever seen. 10/10 would recommend and can’t wait to hire for all our future parties 🎉

    The Riverside All-Stars's reply:

    Anna! Thank you SO much! We had the best night with you guys and your party was absolutely amazing. We are very thankful for your kind words! I'll be sharing with the rest of the band. Cheers! -Anthony

    Don't think twice... Just book!

    The band helped us celebrate our wedding and even during the busy holiday season they took it on themselves to make everything personal and perfect for us! They learned new additional songs, provided every additional service we requested perfectly organized and still played an incredible set in a non typical location with a bunch of obstacles. We couldn't be happier we selected live music and added the horns for a full band celebration. Worth every penny and we will immediately book them again for any opportunity we can find. Invite us to yours please so we can see them again! :)

    The Riverside All-Stars's reply:

    Chelsea and Mike! Thank you guys SO much for having us. What a fun way to ring in the New Year. We'd love to see you guys again so make sure you say hi if you find yourselves at one of our gigs in the future! Cheers! -Anthony

    River-Side All Stars Are 5 Stars!

    We highly recommend River-Side All Stars! The entire experience from end to end was exceptional! We planned our wedding in four months and were super lucky to secure them for our big day. From the first phone call with Kyle through the online planning process using their online planning guide, everything was easy and awesome.

    Kyle did a great job of explaining the process and was very enthusiastic about delivering on our expectations; he was also very responsive to emails and phone calls leading up to the event.

    The online planning guide was very helpful and allowed us to be very specific about the "tone" of our wedding - a huge party that started with a nice little wedding! We were able to create a script for the emcee to follow which helped us emphasize how important the DJ/band were to bringing our vision to reality and kept the evening moving along.

    Anthony did a great job as emcee/DJ and after the band kicked in, the dance floor was never empty - which was exactly what we wanted! We didn't have any restrictions around song requests and the band was able to give me what I wanted most - old school wedding favorites like the Chicken Dance, Hokey Pokey, Beer Barrel Polka and several line dances (all were DJ during their two breaks) along with music from the 80s, 90s and early 2000s.

    There were several songs that I thought were being played by the DJ, only to realize it was the band - including a Whitney Houston song - SO GOOD! This was sentiment echoed by many of the college-age attendees as well! There were many, many guests at the wedding who were very impressed with the band and many said it was the difference maker for an exceptional event.

    Such a great night filled with love, dancing and exceptional music!! If you're on the fence about having a live band or a DJ, adjust your budget accordingly and pick River-Side All Stars!

    The Riverside All-Stars's reply:

    Thank you and congratulations Angie!!! The band had an AWESOME time at your wedding! Feel free to stop by Mancini's in a few weeks and we hope to party with you again! - Kyle

    Wedding 11/4/23

    We had booked the Riverside All Stars for our wedding reception in November because they had played for a friend of ours wedding in the past. We were a little skeptical at first because we havent been to many weddings with a band and were hesitant because bands are typically more expensive than DJs. However, the money was 1000% worth it and we would totally make the same decision again!

    Kyle was the main person we worked with as far as scheduling and working out all the small details. He was absolutely amazing! He was so helpful with walking us through the process and was very detailed oriented. My husband and I both felt very comfortable and did not feel stressed at all.

    When it was time for the reception, the band was UNBELIEVABLE! They were truly amazing with every song they played and about 95% of our guests stayed on the dance floor the entire night! Our guests kept coming up to us and telling us how amazing the band was. Anthony was our MC and he did an incredible job with keeping us on track and making sure we had enough time to do everything we wanted.

    Overall, 10/10! We will definitely be reaching out to them again in the future.

    The Riverside All-Stars's reply:

    Thank you and congratulations Shannon and Henry! I heard it was an amazing party!! We can't thank you enough for letting the band play a part in your special day, and thanks for the kind words. I'll pass this on to Anthony and the band. Have a great week and we hope to see you again soon! - Kyle and RAS

    Worth every penny

    Riverside acted as emcee, DJ and band. They blew the roof off with the music. Everyone was floored by how amazing they were. Sorry about my friends that got on each others shoulders and fell over- the spirit moved them!

    Hire them - your guests will thank you!

    We LOVED having the Riverside All-Stars at our wedding! From the very first email, they were beyond easy to work with and the product is worth every penny. Kyle is super flexible and responsive, we were able to add on ceremony music ~2 weeks before the wedding with no issue. The band itself is AMAZING. I cannot tell you how many guests came up to me at the end of the night to ask about them, or tell me how great they were. They kept the whole crowd engaged and on the dance floor the entire time. They did not play a single dud. Not to mention they are all crazy talented! The MC'ing was also so helpful and organized. Announcements for dinner, speeches, dances, late night snack, and shuttles kept the guests informed and the evening moving smoothly. Hiring a band is obviously more expensive than just a DJ, but it is so worth it, and one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. I cannot recommend the Riverside All-Stars enough!

    Congratulations Megan and thanks for the kind words! The band had an absolute blast and can't wait to party with you again! Congrats!! - Kyle

    Best wedding band!!

    Seriously. Multiple guests came up to us to say that they were the best wedding band they have ever seen. We sprung for the jazz trio and the horns - so worth it!

    They were easy to work with, responsive, and helped set our timeline for the reception and emcee the evening. Our favorite vendor of the night!

    Thanks and congratulations Tara and Billy! The band had an awesome time and said it one of the best parties all year!! Thanks for having us, congratulations, and we hope to party with you again soon! - Kyle

    Non-stop dancing, standing ovation, Awesome Band

    Words can't begin to express how impressed everyone was with the quality of music your band put out for my son and daughter-in-law's wedding, the place was rocking...only seeing all of us dancing, singing, and applauding throughout the entire performance would come close to any sort of "thank you". Much appreciated and well done, so glad we went with the full band. We will be talking about and reliving that night for some time to come!

    The Riverside All-Stars's reply:

    Thanks so much and congratulations to your family Steve!! The band had an outrageously fun time, and I heard it was "the wedding of the year". Thanks for letting us be a part of it and we hope to bring the party for your family again soon! - Kyle

    Band received rave reviews from guests all night and we had an absolute blast!

    We booked the Riverside All-Stars for our wedding reception and are SO glad we did! Communication with Kyle was smooth and timely leading up to the event, and Anthony went above and beyond to make sure everything flowed smoothly the day of. They provided a professional sound system for our outdoor ceremony, played music and MC'ed during the cocktail hour and dinner, and packed the dance floor during the reception! Guests were (and still are!) raving about the band and how much fun they had dancing the night away. Highly recommend!

    Amazing Night!

    This band was a total highlight for our wedding! Not only were they SUPER easy to work with, they absolutely crushed every set they played. Their range and song offerings were perfect and we could tell they enjoy what they do. Couldn't have asked for a better experience!

    Live band is a must!

    Having a live band was a must for us, and it did not disappoint. Our guest still mention how fun the reception was because of the band. Thank you for making our day so amazing. They even allowed one of my bridesmaids (who used them for her wedding too) sing with them ;)

    The best band

    We booked the Riverside All Stars for our wedding after seeing their counterpart band, the Riverside Hitmen, at a friend's wedding. It was one of the best decisions we made! Their communication was thorough from the very beginning and we knew we were in great hands. During the panning process we went through some of our music preferences but we really did not have to do much at all because the band knows SO much variety. It was so assuring that everyone, from our young guests to our older guest, would be able to dance and know the music. We really wanted everyone to have a great time and the All Stars had the music and knew how to make it happen. They also ran all our of Emcee and DJ duties from the beginning of the reception and they did so expertly, without any hiccups.
    As soon as they started playing for the dance people were out there and the ones who weren't dancing were enjoying the show. The All Stars kept our dance floor packed all night. Every person we spoke to throughout the evening was raving about the band and the music. They could not stop talking about how great the band was and how much they were enjoying listening to them! It was pretty amazing to hear how many people enjoyed the music, even from the ones who weren't dancing all night. The All Stars were the hit of the evening and we were thrilled to have them. We would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone considering a band - you won't regret it!

    The Riverside All-Stars's reply:

    Thank you so much and congratulations Ashley and Sam! What an epic party! The band had an awesome time, and can't thank you enough for letting us be a part of your day. Let us know when you want to throw an anniversary party and we hope to see you again soon! Congrats! - Kyle

    Excellent and accommodating band!

    We were recommended the Riverside All Stars by our wedding coordinator Meredith (Bride Support) and couldn’t be happier with them. We had been trying to decide between DJ and band and ultimately decided we really wanted live music for our day. Luckily, they still had our wedding date (10/29) available by the time we came to this conclusion rather last minute. They were super enthusiastic on our intro call and very professional and organized. I didn’t realize how integral the band would be in the wedding timeline and they handled it all so smoothly. We had a shorter wedding and had the ceremony and reception in one space. They were able to set up in a shorter amount of time and also DJ’d the music for our entire ceremony. Since our photographer was not staying the full evening, we did our first dance before dinner and the band played live. They also played a bit of jazz during dinner which was a welcomed addition. We really appreciated their willingness to step out of the box and accommodate some special requests and brainstorm how to make the most out of our limited timeline. We are a very low key couple and the band really made the overall wedding vibe classic and fun. They also did a great job meeting the diverse music tastes of our guests without us saying a word - we had pop, country, R&B, and more! There were a lot of family in attendance and were not anticipating seeing them on the dance floor as much - one of the reasons we were hesitant to book a band. We were totally wrong - the family was dancing more than our friends! The band also interacted with our guests and invited them on stage and took a few photos for us. Our guests have already been asking for us to plan an anniversary celebration just so they can dance with the Riverside All Stars again!

    The Riverside All-Stars's reply:

    Congratulations Chelsea and Forrest! Thank you so much for the kind words and for letting us play a part in your special day. Let us know when you want to throw the anniversary party and we'll be there! Congrats again! - Kyle

    Working with Riverside Entertainment for our music, emcee, and ceremony music was a top-notch experience. Kyle and his team are highly organized and most importantly put on a great show. If you are looking for a memorable and fun-filled evening with live music, there is nobody else I would recommend besides Riverside Entertainment.

    Exceptionally Fun!

    Live music was a must for our wedding and they knocked it out of the park!

    We learned about The Riverside All-Stars through recommendations from other local musicians and we were so glad that we booked them. We decided to opt-in for some of their additional offering (horn section, ceremony string quartet, etc) and it was all worth it!

    They have a massive variety of songs in their repertoire and we were able to give them guidance on the songs and the tone that we wanted for the reception. The energy they brought to our wedding kept folks on the dance floor until the venue had to kick us out.

    Our friends and family had lots of lovely things to say about our wedding, all with the most common refrain being: "The band was awesome!"

    Best wedding band!

    The Riverside All Stars are simply fantastic. We had an unforgettable wedding ceremony featuring their string quartet and an outstanding reception featuring their ten-piece band. The energy that they brought was unlike anything I had experienced at a wedding before, and I am so grateful that I feel that way about my own! They were highly responsive and accommodating with our music selections, even agreeing to learn a new song for us. Building on all of the positive feedback I heard from wedding attendees, there are not enough nice things I can say about our experience with the band. Can't recommend the Riverside All Stars enough!

    One of the best decisions we made for our wedding

    One of the first things my now husband and I talked about when planning our wedding was that we both wanted to have a live band. And Riverside All Stars did NOT disappoint. Besides the incredible talent each member of the band had, they were interactive guests and made us feel like we were at a real live concert rather than a wedding reception. We will just say that we did not want the night to end and chanted “Encore” for them. We did not stop hearing how much fun people were having on the dance floor. You will not regret having this band play your event - they are professional, attentive, and true entertainers!

    Thank you so much Abby! The band had an AWESOME time at your wedding. Thanks for having us, congratulations again, and we hope to see you down the road soon! - Kyle and The Riverside All-Stars

    Best Wedding Decision you could make!

    We have had the Riverside Hitman/All Starts mine AND 2 of my sisters weddings!
    I cannot tell you how MANY compliments and comments we got about how amazing the music was for our wedding! Their sound is so rich and real. I am truly grateful and impressed for all the effort and talent that was put forth!

    Besides the music itself, they are incredibly flexibility and willing to work out changes in the timeline and what music we wanted. The level of professionalism was truly unmatched by any other vendor I worked with. We also LOVED their complimentary cover song... there were several guests who are huge fans of the song we chose, and they were moved by the performance. This is an investment that you will be so thankful for on your once in a lifetime day!

    Riverside All Stars

    The Riverside All Stars were amazing and you NEED to book them! We had them play for our wedding ceremony and our reception and the experience was incredible. The music was amazing and kept the guests dancing all night. Anthony mc’d for us, and he really helped keep the flow of the wedding going seamlessly! Any questions or concerns that I had, Kyle and or Anthony were super quick to respond. Great people to work with, I can’t recommend them enough.

    Best band ever omg

    Only hire this band if you want to be on the dance floor the whole night.....had THE BEST night of my life all thanks to these guys. Everyone (even my crabby gramma who never dances) was dancing all night long. SO worth the money. They included MC and dj jazz music during dinner and it made the whole night come together seamlessly. Cant say enough good things!!

    Fabulous Wedding!

    The Riverside Allstars were fabulous at our wedding! They played a great variety of music, and many people commented that they have never seen so many guests on the dancefloor for the entirety of the night. Their singing was flawless, to the point where sometimes guests thought it was the DJ playing! Many of our guests couldn't get over how great the performance was, and wished they had had them at their own wedding. The Riverside Allstars took our wedding from great to fabulous, and I would recommend them to anyone!

    5/21/22 Wedding

    The Riverside All-Stars exceeded all expectations. From the moment we booked almost a year ago, there was constant communication from the band to make this was a stress-free occasion. They worked with us from start to finish to make sure we had everything we wanted from the ceremony to cocktail hour and the reception. The band is still being talked about from everyone who attended, how awesome they were and kept the dance floor full. They played a wide variety of songs to keep all age groups happy.

    Everyone danced!!

    This band made our event one of the most talked about among our family and friends. Everyone was blown away by the amazing quality of the sound, performance, and selections. People I never thought I would see dance at a wedding were out there on the dance floor having a great time. We received so much positive feedback! Riverside All-Stars is worth every penny! and then some!

    Wedding night dream come true!

    We had them for our wedding band and DJ. They were live for majority of the night and even covered the music during our social hour. They were absolutely amazing. We added on the additional horn section and that was the best decision!! All night I kept getting comments on how amazing the band was. They did an amazing job on making sure first dances to speeches were handled with great care - will be using them again for other events and will recommend them to everyone I know!!

    Thanks so much Samantha and congratulations!! Have a fantastic honeymoon and we hope to see you again soon! - Kyle and The Riverside All-Stars

    Beyond amazing!

    The Riverside All-Stars were AMAZING!!! I cannot speak more highly of this band. Kyle and Anthony were incredibly professional and responsive throughout the entire process. They worked closely with our venue to figure out all the details of set up and made it super easy for us to coordinate. But just as importantly, the band KILLED IT. They were beyond fantastic and had all our guests dancing all night (literally until midnight!). Beautiful energy and incredible voices. This was one of the best choices for our wedding! Cannot recommend this band more highly.

    The Riverside All-Stars's reply:

    Thanks so much Monique!! The band had an absolute blast, and we can't thank you enough for letting us be a part of your special day. Congrats again, and we hope to see you again soon! - Kyle

    Absolute Blast

    We hired the riverside all stars and had an absolute blast. They were wonderful to work with, incredibly talented, flexible and helped make our event something we were genuinely proud of. Many of our guests asked where we found them, complemented their talent and music selection and one even is considering booking them in the future. It was a fantastic night that we will never forget and we credit a lot of that to the band.

    The Riverside All-Stars's reply:

    Thanks Cory! The band had an awesome time and so much fun! Let us know when you want to throw your anniversary party, and we hope to see you soon. Congrats! - Kyle, Anthony, and The Riverside All-Stars

    Highlight of the Reception!

    Where do I start when talking about how awesome the Riverside All-Stars were to work with, and how happy we are that we hired them? For starters, the tone for professionalism and just being genuinely great people was set early when we first started talking to Kyle and Anthony in November 2019 about our wedding in July 2020. We were immediately comfortable with following their lead. It was clear they've had a ton of experience, and they were going to help make this an awesome event.

    As you can probably guess, our original July date was moved, and that subsequent date was moved, and eventually that third date was moved again. This obviously created a lot of logistical headaches for us as we worked with the venue, vendors, and our friends and family over and over again to make this event happen. Through all of that, the Riverside All-Stars were BY FAR the easiest to work with. They moved dates, no questions asked, and couldn't have been more understanding. This was extremely appreciated by us.

    Now on to the night itself. Kyle and Anthony worked closely with us to figure out every last detail - even ones we hadn't even thought about. It was so easy to get everything in place, and we fully trusted that they knew what they were doing, which made it one less thing to worry about that day. Then they started playing, and they had the dance floor rocking all night. Amazing set list, unbelievable musicianship, etc, etc, etc. We were truly blown away.

    It's been fun talking to guests since our reception and hearing about how much fun they had, and the Riverside All-Stars have been a major part of every one of those reviews. They were universally loved by all of our guests.

    Across every vendor we spoke to and worked with as we planned our wedding (4 times!), the Riverside All-Stars are absolutely the number one people we would recommend for anyone planning a party.

    The Riverside All-Stars's reply:

    Thank you so much Kory!! This means the world to us, and we're thrilled we could be there for you throughout the whole process. Congratulations again, thanks for the kind words, and we hope to see you again soon!! - Kyle and Anthony

    Life of the Party!

    The band was amazing during our wedding. We had many people come up to us saying how good they were and that they were really excited to listen and dance to them. Anthony and Kyle were very easy to work with, helping us customize the playlist to whatever we wanted. Worth every penny!

    The Riverside All-Stars's reply:

    Thanks Donna! We can't thank you enough for having us play a part in your special day. Congratulations again, and we hope to see you down the road! - Kyle and Anthony

    Simply Amazing!

    Everyone and their mother kept asking us who the band was because they wanted to reach out for their own events... These guys are just The. Best. They #1 on our all time wedding band list. Anthony was a fantastic band leader, and they were also completely accommodating to our Covid/vaccination policy.

    Thanks so much Drew! We had an awesome time at your fantastic wedding! Congrats again, and we hope to see you again soon. - Anthony and The Riverside All-Stars

    The best decision we could have made!

    If you want your dance floor to be packed all night, you need Riverside Entertainment at your wedding! We had the Riverside All Stars, and I am still receiving compliments from our guests days after our wedding. The band and DJ exceeded our every expectation! Kyle and Anthony are so pleasant to work with and extremely on top of the details when it comes to planning the music for the ceremony and the reception. Their packages are easily customizable to what you envision for your day, and they are worth every penny! They will even learn a song specifically for your wedding, which my husband and I were so excited about. I cannot recommend Riverside Entertainment enough; they were the hit of our wedding!

    The Riverside All-Stars's reply:

    Thanks and congratulations Grace! What an epic party! Thank you for having us play a part in your big day, and we hope to see you again soon! - The Riverside All-Stars

    Best wedding decision we made!

    Where do I even begin? When my husband and I first got engaged, I knew one thing for certain. We were going to have live music at our wedding! Being huge music lovers, we wanted to do it right. We did our research online, looked at reviews, went to multiple venues to hear bands, etc. My husband first heard the Riverside Hitmen in August 2019 in St. Paul. After hearing a cover band at a dive bar the night before, he called me and said Riverside are it! We met with Anthony in 2019 to discuss our vision for our 2020 wedding. When we ended up postponing our wedding in April 2020, Riverside Entertainment was SO flexible and helpful. They were super understanding and extremely responsive when we were trying to find a new date and coordinate all of our vendors. We FINALLY had the PARTY of our dreams at The Varsity Theater on July 17, 2021. Riverside All-Stars was the specific group that played at our wedding, and it was one of the best decisions we made over our entire two-year wedding planning process. My only wish as a bride was to have EVERYONE on the dance floor the entire night, and Anthony started the party by getting everyone on the dance floor for a picture which was GENIUS! Then, they cut into the first song right away. We did have the horn section. If you are thinking about horns, DO IT!!! Best decision ever. Our guests continue to reach out about Riverside All Stars and keep telling us how much fun they had (two weeks later!!). Our reception truly was the best party ever because of Riverside All-Stars. They even let me sing a song to my now husband!

    If you are even slightly considering live music for your wedding, Riverside All Stars will literally blow you and your guests away...especially if you are using the horn section ;) Anthony and Kyle were our main contacts through thick and thin over these past two years. The only thing that makes me sad is that it’s over! :( I wish I could listen to them and dance with them every weekend. I recommend Riverside All-Stars without hesitation. The musical talent in this group goes unmatched by any other wedding band I have ever seen or heard.

    The Riverside All-Stars's reply:

    Thanks so much and congratulations Margot!! I heard it was an epic party!! This means the world to us, and we hope to see you again soon. Feel free to bring your crew out to Mancini's to dance with us, and if we know in advance you can jump on stage to sing again. :) Congratulations!!! - Kyle

    Amazing band!

    We hired Riverside Hitman for our wedding and it was beyond Amazing! From the first phone call until the last song played they really made the experience easy. Kyle, who does the bookings was so great to work with and nice! He was very accommodating to our venue and flexible for exactly what we needed for our wedding day. The are all very organized and stay on top of the details for the big day! We had live music ceremony through the last song and it was all PERFECT! Our wedding guests had the best time and danced the night away, They play all of the song you requests and also have the best band members! I HIGHLY recommend any of their bands for the best experience.

    Thanks and congrats again Ashley! The Riverside All-Stars had an AWESOME time at your wedding!! Thank you so much for having us, congrats again, and we hope to see you soon! - Kyle

    We are SO happy that we had the riverside all-stars at our wedding! They were so easy to work with, they made all of the arrangements super low stress, and we knew that we didnt have to worry about anything being out of place. Oh, and they are AMAZING!!! These musicians and vocalists are next level fantastic!! they rocked the venue all night, the dance floor was always full, and we had countless people compliment the band at our wedding! They truly played the key role in making our wedding our best day ever!!!!

    My Wedding

    I first saw Riverside play at my Brothers wedding in the fall of 2019. I then got engaged shortly their after and the decision on who to hire for entertainment was very easy as they did a great job at my Brothers wedding. When the time came that they played at mine, Riverside exceeded expectation. Super fun and interactive, gets they whole place involved and partying. Also really cool that they can learn and play pretty much anything you request. Highly recommended.

    Weston! Thank you SO much. We had a blast at your wedding and we really appreciate the kind words! Hope you are doing well and that we get the chance to see you again down the road. -Anthony

    All-around great choice

    We did a lot of research when choosing a band for our party. The Riverside All-Stars were great to work with right from the start. Our number one priority for our event was to get people out on the dance floor. I left everything up to them to choose the songs that would do that. The band was fantastic. It was clear that they were having a great time doing what they love to do. They had an energy that carried through to all of our guests.

    The Riverside All-Stars's reply:

    Courtney! Thank you SO much. We loved being a part of your day. It really means a lot that you took some time to share this. We wish you the best and hope to see you down the road! -Anthony

    Fantastic!!!

    Riverside All Stars played a wide variety of music/genre's. The whole band was high energy! Lead singers energy was impressive! They played an outdoor concert in the park and they had people up out of their seats - dancing and grooving! Lots of fun!

    The Riverside All-Stars's reply:

    Lisa! Thank you! We had a blast in Anoka. Looking forward to the next one. We were so fortunate that you asked us to play. See you next summer! -Anthony

    Better than our expectations could've ever been!

    Working with the Riverside All-Stars was absolutely amazing. They were extremely professional and easy to work with, and most importantly, they played beautifully. Our guests were so impressed, that they all wanted to know who was our awesome band! Anthony and Kyle asked many detailed questions to cater towards exactly what we were looking for and were incredibly compliant with the COVID restrictions/rules that had to be followed. They dressed well, played perfectly, and went above and beyond. We will definitely be asking them to play at our next event!

    The Riverside All-Stars's reply:

    Thank you SO much! It was a joy reading your response. It really does mean a lot to us and we would absolutely LOVE to see you guys again in the future! Until then. -Anthony

    Amazing Band!

    We were blown away with Riverside's band! Going into our wedding reception, we were somewhat concerned that we wouldn't have many guests on the dance floor. However, we were thrilled when the band's playlist and energy appealed to so many of our attendees. We are so glad that we went with Riverside for our music for the evening!

    (Bonus points for Anthony helping DJ during band breaks + helping orchestrate announcements and speeches for the evening!)
