I was blown away by the talent of the musicians, they really take their craft seriously. I requested a Roaring Twenties theme from Louis Pettinelli and they went above and beyond to make it happen. The singer Karlea was phenomenal and did an amazing job of keeping our guests engaged and entertained. The musicians were all courteous, professional, and exceptionally talented. They dressed appropriately for our wedding theme and many of the guests at the Hawthorne Hotel wanted to take pictures with Karlea in her Twenties attire. In addition to being a wonderful experience, they were also a great value for the price. These are top quality musicians and we paid a reasonable price for the band. I highly recommend this group for your wedding.

DRS MUSIC, INC 

5.0

  • Band/dj
  • Starts at $5,000
  • Serves Portland, IN

David Rothstein Music was started in 1999. David believes each couple/client deserves to get exactly what they need for their specific event. DRM has a wide variety of ensembles and song choices to make every event meet and exceed your expectations!

We always ranked the music as the number one priority for our wedding, and we’re so glad we entrusted David Rothstein Band to bring our party to life. Planning a wedding during Covid had many challenges, including not being able to see the band live, but thankfully, David has so many live videos available where we can see the entertainment his band delivers day in and day out. Those videos, along with David’s passion for his work, made us confident to chose his team to make our day special. For our wedding, we had a classical duo during the ceremony, a pianist during cocktail hour, a jazz trio during dinner, and an incomparable 10 piece orchestra to dance the night away. From the first note to the final encore, we were BLOWN AWAY with the talent and energy that the band brought. We had a few special requests for the night - from a unique arrangement for our ceremony processional to a mashup of New York songs during the reception - and David’s team was beyond accommodating. We had dancing for 3 hours straight and not once did anyone leave the floor - the band was able to feel the energy in the room and chose the right song for the moment. I stumbled across the ingoing setlist after the party and was actually surprised to see that the band didn’t even stick to the songs they had picked - a sign that they adjusted based on what the crowd was loving. It’s been nearly a month since the big day and people keep telling us how amazing the music was, and we can’t stop watching the many videos David took from the night, reliving the magic that his band created. If you’re thinking about which band to have for your wedding, look no further than the David Rothstein Band - you won’t be disappointed!!

Awarded Best of Zola
We called, talked and knew that's our band. Communication (phone/email) was easy. Our party was in a cul-de-sac. We provided canapes, a garage and power. They set up everything else. It was already fun to listen to the soundcheck. About 120 guests were all over the cul-de-sac and the band totally adapted to everything that happened. Their male singer was not at our party but their female singer was absolutely amazing!!!! Whenever we talk about the party, EVERYONE says that the band was so GREAT!! We hope to hear/see them again. If we ever need a band again: THAT'S THE BAND for sure.
