A band or a DJ? That was the question. We really wanted a band to make our ‘big party’ dream a reality. A Great Band was on the list of recommended bands from our wedding venue, the Park Avenue Club. We talked to lots of bands that ranged from $4,000 to more than $20,000 - what sticker shock! We talked and met with Jon who manages and plays in the group of bands under the A Great Band umbrella. We were very impressed with him, his enthusiasm, his willingness to work with us and the guidance he gave us. We chose Red Hot Rhythm to be our wedding band and we could not have been happier that we put our trust in Jon and his talented musicians. Jon’s experience and intuitiveness helped us navigate through music selection and instruments for the ceremony (cellist and keyboard), cocktail hour (pianist) and reception (8 piece rockin' band with horns, 3 singers, drums, guitars and keyboard). The band played everything that we asked for from ‘It’s a Wonderful World’ to ‘Shut Up and Dance with Me’ like the rock stars they are. Jon served as our Master of Ceremonies and led us and our guests throughout the evening. Everyone raved about how talented and wonderful the band was. Big party – delivered - thanks to Red Hot Rhythm and Jon!

BEST BAND EVER!!! Jon Simpson and everyone in Rhythm Jam made our wedding absolutely wonderful and special. Planning was a pleasure, as Jon is kind and positive. He was willing and even excited to cater to whatever requests we had regarding our song choices, the overall feel of the music, and the timeline for the evening. The band (including the musicians for the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception) sounded AMAZING! The music was beautiful for the ceremony and cocktail hour and just as beautiful and TONS of fun for the reception. The whole party was on its feet throughout the whole night, having an absolute blast. The band sounded wonderful, had amazing energy, and were quite honestly special people to work with. I cannot imagine a better band anywhere. More guests from the party than I can even count have already called me to tell me that they have never heard a better band, and I of course agree! I will have such happy memories of dancing to their music and interacting with the company throughout the whole process. Jon and Rhythm Jam were a huge part of what made the happiest night of our lives such a joy!

These guys were fantastic. That made it a great night. We would recommend them to anyone looking for the right band. They were open to playing some obscure selections and accommodated the combination of instruments we wanted to use for the ceremony. They also brought the party!
