Notorious

Notorious was amazing!!! Everyone was raving about our band and how FUN the night was, thanks to them. A live band was so important to us and we were lucky to have them! And we really enjoyed working with their manager Jay Siegan. Thank you guys again so much!!

Notorious = perfection. A joyous band full of expert musicians delivering the goods for us, creating so many wonderful memories on the dance floor. Please message me for any questions about how fabulous they are to work with. Simply perfect.

Notorious was: - elegant - fun - professional - customizable - accommodating - a dream to work with Thank you: Eli for your care in solo guitar for the ceremony. Thank you Jay Siegan Presents for your attention to detail. Thank you ALL of Notorious for the wonderful show. You are the heroes of our wedding! What a blessing to work with you! - R

Saw this band in June at a wedding in Winters of some friends of my girlfriend. Wow what an amazing band. They did a little bit of what each group of people in the crowd wanted, I was really impressed with their versatility and how they literally catered to everyone attending. I heard that they learned songs specifically for the event, for all the special dances. The bride and groom and all of their parents were very happy.

Bravo to everyone in Notorious. YOU MADE OUR WEDDING. Beautiful solo guitar work for the ceremony. Incredible band for reception. Attentive MC work and DJ. We COULD NOT have asked for more. THANK YOU!

Went to my friend's wedding at the Holly Farm in Carmel in July and I couldn't believe the band! I didn't expect to see that level of entertainment at a wedding. They were playing as we came in, just loud enough, and people gradually headed to the dance floor. It ended up being a great night, progressively getting more intense until the band finished. By the finale there was fun audience participation was happening and everyone was having a great time. I'd book them for my wedding if I wasn't already married!

Great music, great vibes, great night. I cannot say enough awesome things about Notorious. These amazing musicians can play anything under the sun and made our wedding the party of the year! My friends are still raving about them and several have asked me for their contact information. I have a feeling their going to be become harder and harder to book in the very near future. Can't wait to see them perform again!

Notorious. A must book – you won’t be disappointed! I’ve attended 3 of their events in the past and have had a blast at each of the different venues they’ve played at. Notorious does a great job interacting with the audience and keeping everyone engaged (from youngsters to the grandparents!). At each of the parties, Notorious has done a fantastic job keeping the dance floor filled the entire time. For me, this is an extremely important part of any good celebration. They clearly cater to the venue and individualize songs to match the occasion.

Notorious is SO FUN! They had our guests on the dance floor all night! Also, they were one of the easiest vendors to work with throughout all of our wedding planning -- we loved working with them!

I have seen Notorious play on more than one occasion and have been incredibly impressed with their talent, energy and professionalism. They get everyone dancing and guarantee a great time!

Experiencing a live band play instead of another DJ was refreshing and invigorating. Notorious engaged the guests and helped boost the party atmosphere. They really helped to get the crowd dancing.

We've seen Notorious at a number of events, and they always get the party started right. They mix a great set list of dance tunes, and have an uncanny ability to read the room and make sure everyone is happy. Professional and a lot of fun, would definitely recommend them, they will not disappoint!

Notorious is the most amazing band. They played my wedding two years ago and most recently played my sister's wedding as well. They just keep getting better and better. They kept the party going and our guests were blown away by their vocals and overall vibe. They were great to work with and we are going to be Notorious fans for life.

Notorious absolutely crushed it at our wedding in Yountville, CA. They kept the party going all night long and no one wanted to leave the dance floor. They played the best songs that fit our vibe and we are so glad to have had them. Thank you for making our wedding a night to remember!

Notorious is synonymous with professionalism, perfection, and PARTY! My husband and I hired this top-knotch band last summer for our wedding and from the initial contact with the agency to the last song of the night, we were so impressed. They honored our song requests, got everyone up and moving and loving every minute of it, and played to the diversity of our guests. The cadence of the song choices showed collaborative musicians who know how to please a crowd; there was an ebb and flow that moved the night along- slow songs for our more mature guests, classic rock n roll, sing-a-longs that had people reminiscing about the best days of our lives, and songs that appealed to the young and “young at heart.” The emcee and drummer, Tim, was energetic and kept the night en pointe. My husband and I will always be grateful to Notorious for giving us one of the best nights of our lives and and something we’ll always agree on- Notorious ROCKS!

Wow! Notorious played my best friend's wedding, and I can honestly say that they had the party happening on the dance floor from the first downbeat. The song selection covered material that we all wanted to hear, and the performance was very engaging. I would recommend them without reservation!

Notorious was so great. They did what we asked them to do as far as learning the songs that were the most special for us and really made it "our" day. I'm not sure any other band could have made us feel so relaxed and happy during our reception.

I actually saw the band at my best friend wedding. They were great and so energetic! From start to end they had us dance all night! It was a blast! songs after songs! I can't wait for my next friend to get married, so we can do that again! Thank you Notorious!!

We had Notorious play our wedding up in Napa valley last year. We figured they would be sufficient after watching their videos but we were in for a surprise. Our guests kept pointing out to us how great they were and how perfect their repertoire was for the group of people we had at our wedding. There was something for everyone, and it seemed like everyone made an appearance on the dance floor at some point during the evening. There were people dancing throughout the whole night. The band was prompt and professional, plus they were a pleasure to work with, and our planner agreed. If you want a great looking and sounding band for your wedding look no further.

My best buddy got married back in June in Napa- Notorious was the band they hired for their reception. Not only was this the sharpest, dressed wedding band I’ve seen, but they covered all the bases. They played oldies for the older folks in the crowd, and all the newest stuff for the younger crowd. They even played for the first dance. Totally crushed it!

Excellent band. Throughout the night our guests kept commenting on how much they loved them and how did we find them. Working with the agency was a breeze. And the band members were each a pleasure to meet.

We hired Notorious for our wedding 2 years ago. To this day, people still talk about how great the band was at our wedding! They were so perfect! They played all the songs we asked them to, they dressed sharp, and they sounded awesome! AND they learned a special song just for our first dance. At three end of the night, we actually had them play an extra 30 mins because nobody wanted to stop partying. They were totally gracious! We could not have been more happy with Notorious at our wedding.

Notorious is fantastic. Hands down, best party band I’ve seen. Their set list was a great mix of genres and eras ensuring every last guest was on the dance floor. On top of that, they were extremely professional and accommodating. I’d hire them again in a heartbeat.

These guys were perfect! They made our special day so much more special. They had lots of people out on the dance floor from the first song on. They learned our first dance song and already knew the songs we used for special dances with our parents. They looked and sounded great, and were easy and fun to deal with. Nobody wanted the night to end, what a great band!

Notorious was OUTSTANDING. We had a 160-person wedding and our dance floor was absolutely packed the entire evening. They learned our first dance song and performed it beautifully and flawlessly (and an acoustic version at that!) and were an absolute dream to work with. One of my favorite memories from our wedding was getting on stage with my husband and the band to dance and belt out Toto's 'Africa' and have all of our guests singing it at the top of their lungs. We would 100% and with full confidence recommend Notorious to any couple for their wedding day. Thank you for making ours so memorable!

Notorious was fantastic! They literally made the wedding. Such great energy, great song selection and very professional looking without being stuffy. Not one person left the dance floor the entire night & we even had to ask them to play for 30 more minutes!

Notorious played at our wedding in June in Big Sur, California, and made the reception. They were fabulous and kept everyone on their dancing feet for 3+ hours straight. They are very talented musicians and entertainers, adaptable to personal music preferences and great at reading the audience. Cant recommend them enough, fabulous band and worth every penny. You will not be disappointed.

Notorious played at our Napa wedding and they absolutely killed it! The dance floor was packed the whole night - guests have since said it was the best / most fun wedding they’ve ever been to and Notorious was a huge factor in that. Eli Nelson also played acoustic guitar during our ceremony and cocktail hour and really set the mood perfectly! We highly recommend Notorious and Eli! Can’t wait until we get our video to relive it all!

Notorious TOTALLY rocks!! The band brought down the house at our wedding this past Labor Day and had our guests dancing from the moment they took the stage! I have to say too - we saw about 7 bands before we chose Notorious - and they were totally the right choice for us! What was most impressive was that they seemed to be able to read our guests, and respond to the types of songs that kept them really energized. A month later, I keep hearing from people how amazing the band was, and how they couldn't believe how fast the dancing flew by. No one wanted to stop! They also were willing to learn new songs for us (including our first dance) and were generally just a pleasure to work with. We also hired Eli to play guitar during our ceremony and cocktail hour - and he was also amazing. Other than picking the processional and recessional songs, we asked him just to make sure our guests had fun - and his song choices were perfect for the feel we wanted! One other thing that I wanted to also acknowledge was how responsive and easy the band was to work with! Even in the last few weeks, they made it so easy to coordinate, and the management company was super responsive to any questions I had.

Notorious performed at our wedding in Healdsburg, CA in 2015. Overall we had a great experience working with them . They had our wedding guests going crazy on the dance floor the whole night. Our wedding was during a massive heat wave and we thought no one would want to dance - but the music was just too good!! The playlist is a mix of 80's, 90's and contemporary... all with a focus on songs good for dancing. They also performed our first dance song (Can't Help Falling in Love) by request and did a great job with it.

There are two ratings as part of this, first is for the band, second is for the talent management company that arranged everything. And yes, they both get the outstanding and extraordinary rating. First Notorious: Our wedding guests are still raving about how amazing this group was, throughout the night and even now talking to guests I get "best band ever", constantly. And while I'll take the credit for picking them it was their energy, skill, and ability to even get those self-proclaimed "non-dancers" on the dance floor that earned them the title around my nearest and dearest. They accommodated all our song requests and kept the energy going straight through the end of the night. I'm not doing them proper justice, we are obsessed with them, and we will continue to go to their shows and dance the night away to the music. Also, I would highly, highly, recommend Eli for your ceremony music. He made everything I wanted work for the recessional and even made new compositions to accommodate some of our music choices that didn’t easily translate into a recognizable acoustic version. Second JSP: So having never planned a wedding before I obviously missed some things; like the stage size, the venue requiring a generator, etc. Sarah at JSP was incredibly patient and made everything work. She coordinated everyone, was proactive with communication and generally made my life a lot easier through the entire planning process. On top of Sarah’s support during the planning process the technicians working the actual event were timely and accommodating. Each delivery arrived exactly on time and worked efficiently to get everything set up. Working with the venue owner to accommodate his requests and went above and beyond to make sure not only I was comfortable but that they were working around and with every other vendor. I didn’t have to do anything other than enjoy the show. They never once needed anything from me and if there was anything challenging that might have happened I had no idea. Exactly how we wanted our wedding day.

If I could give Notorious more than 5 stars we would! They performed at our wedding in 2015 and our guests are still talking about how amazing they were. My husband and I loved working with them - they were so easy to talk with and help plan a super fun reception. They worked with all of our crazy requests and even learned our first dance song for us and were amazing! Their energy was incredible and they really brought everyone to the dance floor - old and young. In fact, we ran out of space on the dance floor because everyone wanted to join the fun. We also worked with Eli to play the guitar for our ceremony and he was amazing. He was willing to work with my friend who is a singer and even had a practice with her ahead of the ceremony. It made for a very special ceremony. I've already recommended Notorious to other friends who had them at their wedding too and had the same experience as we did. I cannot recommend them enough! We will always remember Notorious and how they made our wedding reception! Thank you Notorious!!!

The band, as well as Jay Siegan Presents, were such a delight to work with. They were easy going, listened to everything we requested, were timely, and kept the dance party going all night long! Our wedding was years ago, and to this day, friends and family continually comment that our band was the absolute best. I can't rave about them enough, and would highly recommend them as a wedding performance!

It was so wonderful working with Jay Siegen Productions & Notorious! The band itself is so fun and talented. The song selection is great. They were super accommodating with our song requests, even the ones that were off their set list. Guests continue to compliment how great they were, and it makes us feel awesome to know everyone had such a grand time. Highly recommend!

My husband and I hired Notorious to play at our wedding in Napa, CA in Sept 2016 and they were AMAZING! I cannot express enough how incredibly talented the band is. From the moment they took the stage, to the last song, they had everyone at my wedding on the dance floor, singing and rocking out to the music. It was fantastic! It was the consensus amongst our guests that they were the best band from any event they had attended. Before my wedding, I corresponded with Sarah, from their management team, to hammer out all the details and she was an absolute pleasure to work with. She worked with me to understand what type of music we liked and if there were any special request songs we wanted so that the band could tailor their sets to our tastes. She even arranged to get us a sample from the band of our first dance song so that my husband and I could practice. I would highly recommend hiring Notorious for any wedding or social event. They are professional and high energy and they made my wedding an experience I will never forget. I wouldn't hesitate to hire them again!

This band is awesome! Had such a great time.... would love to go see them in concert just to relive the moments!

We had the best time working with Sarah from Jay Siegan Presents and Notorious ROCKED our wedding!! The day was incredible!! Eli and the band were absolutely great! Eli played our ceremony and cocktail hour and I loved his guitar playing. The drummer from Notorious was our MC and was a lot of fun too! The band was AWESOME! We have gotten so many rave reviews from our friends about Notorious and we feel really lucky that they had a cancelation on our day and we were able to book them. I would highly recommend them for your wedding if you want great music, a good flow, and a full dance floor all night!

Notorious played our wedding and were absolutely fantastic. They have a dressed up look that fit in well with our black tie event. Their wide-ranging song list is packed with crowd pleasers for both our parents as well as our younger cousins. They have both a male and female vocalist so they can cover pretty much any song well. They read the crowd perfectly and transitioned to more recent songs when our guests from our parents' generation started thinning out of the dance floor. Even so, they kept the dance floor packed and energized all the way until the last song at 11:30pm. In addition to being a wonderful band, they were quite flexible and easy to work with. They were willing to do a recording of the 1st dance song in advance so that we were able to practice with their rendition. They also learned two songs that were special to us but not on their playlist. Nearly every guest came to us later and told us how much they enjoyed the band. We have a few musically inclined guests, including one jazz pianist as well as a drummer in a local rock band, and they all mentioned how impressed they were with the musical skill of the band, and that they were "tight". Before picking Notorious, we watched all of the local wedding bands play at nearby venues, and we picked Notorious because of their music, their energy, and their ability to keep the dance floor moving. They delivered. In summary, Notorious is the best in the area and at the top of their game. They are easy to work with and massively exceeded all of our expectations. Book them early - they are in high demand.

Notorious had our guests dancing from the very first song until the last. My fiancé and I could not be more pleased with their performance. By the end of the night no one wanted them to stop playing and were chanting "one more song!" They were easy to work with and would recommend them to anyone looking to hire a band for their wedding. All of our friends and family keep commenting on how much fun they had, which is because of Notorious!

Our favorite part of the wedding and so many or our guests. Notorious Rocks! See website http://www.notoriousrocks.com/NotoriousWeb/home.htm They are so fun and they seem to love to perform. They are high energy and fun and we didn't want them to stop. We found them at the Red Devil Lounge and decided to hire them (if we could). They played lots of 80's per my request but mixed it up with other fun stuff and payed perfect attention to my dislikes too!;I'm sure they are hard to book so don't hesitate if you have the opportunity. They are worth every penny and your guests will think so too. You may think that your 'older' guests may dislike their style but this was not the case. They can be a little wild but will play CD's during breaks for the older folks too!
