A+++ Best Chicago Wedding Band. Music was a big priority to both of us since we’re both musicians ourselves. We wanted a mix of music for our Ceremony, Cocktails, Dinner and Dancing. David brought and extremely talented group of musicians that were versatile and played a wide variety of music for our entire wedding. He deserves to be the #1 Wedding Band!!

David and the band were fantastic! We spoke a lot with David leading up to our wedding and he never hesitated to take the time to answer any questions or discuss any concerns we had.

David Rothstein Music is simply amazing. From our very first conversation, we immediately noticed how detail-oriented, organized and professional David and his team were. David is a wonderful communicator- incredibly prompt and responsive, which was so appreciated during the wedding planning process. David would always answer our emails or texts within minutes/hours- never ignored a question, comment or message. He was always open to having a call with us As a couple communicating with multiple vendors, David was one of the best, if not the best vendor we had the pleasure of working with.
