The Amazing Band with A Huge Heart

THE AMAZING BAND
WITH A HUGE HEART

We're a Different Kind of Music Company

I started our nifty music company with the simple idea that you should get the songs you love, not what some girl reviewing the newest Wendy’s burger says. Skip the trends and Influencers and just be yourself. We’ll help you celebrate your own way. We’ve got a killer band that will get even your Tik Tok sister off her phone and on the dance floor. Reach out and tell us what you have in mind! 

It’s Party Time! (Mic Drop) 

Our dance floor was packed all night! The personalization he adds brings this band to the next level. He was great to work with and communicated well with our other wedding vendors. We absolutely loved working with him!

DANCE FLOOR WAS PACKED!
“David Rothstein and his band were incredible! We did the violin and guitar duo for our ceremony, the jazz quartet for our cocktail hour, and the 10-piece band for the reception. David did an excellent job MCing and kept all our guests excited and engaged. The band did an awesome job of keeping our dance floor packed all night long, which was exactly what we wanted! They played off the crowd and provided a fun mix of popular and classic songs, including slow songs and party hits that keep you dancing."

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.
