We'll Take Care of
All Your Announcements

David's only job is as the Emcee!

David's only job
is as the Emcee!

Since David or your designated bandleader will act exclusively as the Master of Ceremonies, he will work directly with your vendors so you can relax and spend time with each other and your guests.

As a result, all your vendors will be at the right place at the right time. You’ll get better photos, videos and food service. Most of all you’ll be completely relaxed and be able to simply enjoy your wedding. Your Emcee will be by your side all night not stuck on the bandstand.

If you have a wedding planner, we’ll work directly with them to make sure everything is perfect. With David Rothstein Music you will get a fully incorporated company behind you.

We have ceremony, sound and financial departments, as well as a staff music arranger. You will have access to David and his full-time assistant whenever you need anything. While we’re not wedding planners, we can suggest several top professionals. Just ask!

We do more than play all the songs you love and pack your dance floor. We’ll make your entire wedding 60% better!

“David is the most eloquent MC, first introducing us to "Everlasting Love" and then guiding us to our cake cutting to "How Sweet it is". He was available to help us and our vendors all night. In addition, for each speech, he not only introduced the speaker, but was waiting for them afterwards with a glass of champagne. This guy is a real pro!!"
