DRM Signature | DRS Music | David Rothstein Music | Chicago wedding band | Chicago wedding bands | Chicago wedding Music | Best Chicago Wedding Band

I spent many years playing bass in other top Chicago wedding bands. They were great musicians, but every wedding was pretty much the same. The same songs, same intros. The bandleader was not really interested in the couple and what makes them special. It was just another date on the calendar. Every wedding was just another date on their calendar.

I KNEW THERE MUST BE A BETTER WAY

So in 1999, I started our music company with one  idea…

YOU DESERVE TO GET YOUR OWN WEDDING 

You should be able to have a schedule that’s as formal or casual as you want. You should have the best possible musicians to play all the music you love for your wedding.  You should be able to hear all the songs you love.

Yes we give you a separate Emcee who will take care of all your announcements and co-ordiante with you, your planner and all your vendors. This also allows the band to concentrate only on playing music. With DRM, if you have a question you can simply ask our nearby Emcee. With other bands you’ll need to walk across the room interrupting the band leader who is on stage and trying to perform. He takes care of everything so you can relax and enjoy your wedding.
