Best Chicago Wedding Band! (5 Stars)
"We had our wedding this past Saturday. We hired David Rothstein for the reception music. He was unbelievable. We had such a blast! The band was amazing! Honestly, EVERYONE was dancing. He had asked me prior to the wedding what types of music I wanted, and I gave him a few ideas, but I told him I trusted him, and I wanted him to decide what was best. He exceeded my expectations. I had people coming up to me all night telling me it was the best wedding they had ever been to. My wedding is going to be talked about for a long time to come, and I know it's because of the band. Thank you so much, David, for living up to your promise, and giving me a top-notch, outstanding, out of this world reception! I will never forget it!!!"

Greatest Wedding Band Ever (5 Stars)
"If you couldn't tell from David's website, this is truly the greatest wedding band in the country. It was so much fun planning our reception with David. We met several times, and we really got to know each other prior to the event. On the night of our wedding, we knew we were in good hands. David knew exactly what we wanted, and he executed the reception like the pro he is. With this band, you don't just get great music. You get an MC who coordinates all the aspects of the night, and who makes sure it is the best time of your life. And of course, no review would be complete without discussing the music. We have heard from so many of our guests that ours was the best wedding they had ever been to, and we know this was because of the music. The dance floor was packed the entire night. We could not even visit with guest at their tables, because no one was sitting long enough. We can't say enough about how wonderful the David Rothstein Orchestra is. We highly recommend them for your event.
Sincerely, Matthew and Caroline Vahey"

"On my engagement night, I relied on Kari Gardner and her beautiful music, to create the perfect mood. I surprised my fiance to be by asking her to escort me with a glass of wine to the rooftop of our condo building. What Lori heard upon setting foot on our rooftop overlooking the skyscrapers of Chicago and Lake Michigan on a gorgeous summer evening, was the soothing and emotionally enriched music from Kari's harp. Kari's music enhanced the special emotions that my fiance and I were about to experience. I proceeded to ask Lori to marry me and spent the next few hours enjoying the scene, eating dinner, and listening to nearly every romantic song that one could think of under the stars. Kari's professionalism, ability to play a wide-range of songs, and overall skill were extremely impressive. Without her music, this most important evening simply would not have been the same."
