I don’t even know where to begin with this review to show my appreciation. My husband and I booked The Mixtape from On the Beats to perform at our wedding in July and magical is an understatement to how the night turned out. Considering that we... did not hire a wedding coordinator prior to the wedding, and our venue was non-inclusive of anything, you can imagine how determined I was to get every detail right for our special day. That meant that there were an endless amount of questions and revisions along the way but the owner, Robert Perkins, patiently attended to all of my concerns and walked through this journey with us wholeheartedly.
Up until the wedding, I was extremely on edge about the outcome of the overall ambiance. However, once the day came, the musicians spoke for themselves. From the intimate string trio for the ceremony/cocktail hour to the 6-piece band we hired for the reception/dance, it was all so seamlessly put together, creating the perfect ambiance. We specifically requested Fina and Hudson to lead the band, and the power in their voice was able to both shake and silence the entire room with one note. We requested that they perform lounge music, some Leon Bridges, and jazz during dinner while we selected a few dance songs for the end of the night. All of our guests watched in awe as they performed every single song that we requested and they effortlessly flowed with the energy of the crowd. It felt as though we were watching a celebrity band perform and even the Korean elderly parents/grandparents were jamming and dancing along to the music.
Everyone was completely mesmerized and enveloped in their talented voices and classy performance and I truly believe that our night would not have been as perfect as it was had we not hired On the Beats. The owner, Rob, stuck by the entire night and was the emcee for us and although there was a slight language barrier with my Korean guests, he was so personable to everyone and put a smile on all of our faces. He even substituted as a drummer for the duration of one song, which meant a lot considering he was once the drummer for Michael Buble!! If you’re ever on the fence about hiring a band, trust me and hire one. I, as well as all of our guests, have been to our many fair shares of weddings but everyone said that nothing compared to their experience with ours. The band created an environment where there is authentic energy and transparent love. Thank you, endlessly, to all of the members from On the Beats (The Mixtape) for making that day literally the best day of our lives. Stay tuned for some photos and videos!
