Love Brings Italians, Ghanaians, and Giraffes Together
Here's what Brianna & Edem had to say about their day...
"Oh my gosh - where do I begin?! Just stop your search and book ROM now! Seriously. They truly made our night!! Weeks later we're still getting messages about "the best band they'd ever heard." Music is VERY important to me. And I am picky. I wanted to make sure everyone was on the dance floor and that both cultures were included.
Working with Tiana and friends was just effortless and they worked with every little change we made last minute! We even crowd surfed at the end and it was amazing!! Honestly, they knew how to engage with the crowd, felt their energy and played off them. They knew how to get everyone back on the dance floor, just naturals with everything. Gosh, they even rap! Tiana also asked me if I had preferences as to what they should wear! Who does that?!
I WISH WE COULD DO IT AGAIN, YOU GUYS! LOVE YOU SO MUCH!! Til we meet again! XO"

Hilary & Carlo | Prado at Balboa Park
"Neither of us live in SD anymore, so we could only talk to vendors over the phone. Even through the phone, we could tell that RoM was special -- their range was staggering, their service was absolutely impeccable.
Most of all, their first priority was what we wanted. They wanted to know who was going to be there, what mood we expected, what kind of energy we wanted to have, how we wanted to break up the dancing sets. Other bands seemed more concerned with their own needs and abilities; RoM wanted to know what we wanted.
Besides the band, they had strings for the ceremony. They played pop hits (Daft Punk, other stuff), Latin (Buena Vista Social Club, Selena), Motown. They even had a singer who could sing in Italian, which pleased my family to no end."

Claire & Graeme | Coronado Community Center
"Selecting ROM was the best decision we made for the wedding (maybe slightly behind our decision to get married in the first place but it's close).
Starting from the beginning, the ROM team was extremely communicative (which can be rare in the industry). Tiana was supportive of all of our needs while offering suggestions based on her experience (without being pushy). We were able to select the performers that we wanted and the entire planning process was seamless.
We were adamant the hora had to be epic to start the night, epic is an understatement for what we got. It was 15 to 20 minutes of pure energy with the guests feeding off the band.
Our guests were on the dance floor from the beginning to the end, and I cannot tell you how many people during and after have told us we had the "best band ever," not even best wedding band ever, best band ever period.
I think the loudest endorsement was from a groomsman who said "I'm stealing your band for my wedding" (and, he's still single! LOL!)
If you are getting married get a band, if you're getting a band get ROM, there is no question they were worth every penny from their professionalism to their performance they cannot be beat."
Testimonial
Wendi & Adam | JW Marriott
"We knew our money was well spent when we looked around the room and didn’t see a single butt in the chair! A true testament of the night came the next day at our post wedding brunch, where several guests had lost their voices from singing with the band so hard.
One of our favorite moments of the night was our epic hora. Again, every single guest was involved and it really helped to get the night started and set the party tone.
ROM also got guests involved with a fun limbo session and a sing along that featured some of our guests hidden talents."

Mali & Amine | Del Mar Country Club
"Republic of Music was amazing!!! They know to bring the party! They were able to play different genres of music as requested, from Latin to pop to classical. They even learned our first dance song which was so special. We received so many positive comments from our guests. We highly recommend them for your next event!
We love you all and you all are now honorary members of our family. Your performance will be forever remembered; thank you so much Republic of Music!!"
Multicultural Real Wedding
Chinese & South-Asians Celebrate in the Name of Love
Here's what Hira & Leo had to say about their day...
"Holy $h*t, they were absolutely amazing! I'm the groom and I usually don't use expletives or write reviews (wife's orders), but Republic of Music deserves both.
I've never been to a wedding with a live band, so when they came to ours, I was blown away. They add this completely warm energy and unique experience that allowed everyone to relax, loosen up, and just party! I saw everyone having a good time...they even had my Asian Tiger Mom dancing!!
They came with a full band, 3 vocalist, AND a DJ; they also brought lighting. So for the price - it was definitely worth it as hiring a DJ on it's own was almost that price.
We are a muslim couple and the band accommodated all our requests regarding attire and music selection. We requested mainly top 40 music and they sounded better than the original artists!
If you want your wedding to have the extra special touch that enhances the experience for you and your guests, get this band, they will make an impression that will last forever."

Mark & Selina | Darlington House
"Republic of Music brang the house DOWN! My wife and I decided that having live music at our wedding was the right call, and RoM rocked all night long.
RoM worked with us to find the right combination of songs and medleys, dinner music, and even got the groomsmen and groom to perform a surprise song for guests. Everything was perfect and RoM made our wedding even more special -- you better believe there was a conga line.
If you can book RoM for your next special event, don't hesitate! They are top notch performers and will make it a night to remember!"

Laura & Steve | Encinitas, CA
"We absolutely loved having Republic of Music at our wedding! You need to book them for yours too! Our experience with them was truly phenomenal from start to finish.
Keeping everyone engaged and having fun wasn't going to be easy because our wedding was super diverse - older Korean family from the East Coast, older Eastern European family from the Mid-West, LA hipsters, Hollywood actors, writers, producers, etc. It was important to us that everyone - EVERYONE - could participate and enjoy themselves. Which, of course, they did!"

Multicultural Real Wedding
Monica & Issac | Brick, Liberty Station
"My husband was assigned the task of figuring out the entertainment for our wedding. We had first discussed hiring a DJ who'd play top 40's and some old school hiphop and RnB at the beginning of the night, then at the end of the night we’d close with a live latin band since we love dancing cumbia, bachata, reggaeton, etc.
Never would I have thought my husband would present me with a 9-piece band who would provide us with bilingual MC'ing, cocktail hour DJ service, and amazing music and vocals throughout the evening that covered my desire for top 40's, hiphop and RnB, and our passion for latin music.
Not only were we impressed, but our guests left singing and dancing, not wanting the night to end. We definitely wanted to get all our guests out on the dancefloor with us, and ROM did it despite having the challenge of getting my husband's family from Mexico, my family from the Philippines, and all our friends, young and old from all over the US, up to dance and they did it effortlessly.
They knew exactly what our crowd wanted to hear and everyone left singing and dancing, not wanting the night to end!"
