Eric is an amazing DJ!! He made our whole wedding reception and cocktail hour go so smoothly! Highly recommend!
Eric and the rest of the band were amazing! Eric is so quick to respond to anything you need. They learned songs for us too! We’ve had nothing but compliments about rendition. They kept the party going! We can’t thank them enough for helping make our day so perfect.
Eric & the rest of the band were absolutely amazing! Very professional and easy to work with. They have a HUGE set list and even learned a new song for us! I would highly recommend using Rendition for your wedding!
I cannot say enough good things about Eric and Rendition! We had Eric play acoustic guitar during our cocktail hour and dinner and the full band for dancing, and our guests are still RAVING about it! Throughout the whole planning process Eric was super responsive and helpful. On the day of he pretty much handled all of the timing/logistics of the reception, and kept everyone right on schedule. The band learned all of our first dance songs (bride/groom, father/daughter, mother/son), which made the dances extra special. Eric also connected us with an amazing photo booth rental (All Smile). I highly recommend hiring Rendition for your wedding or event, you will not be disappointed! and neither will your guests :) Luckily we live in the area and can still see Rendition play around the city.
I was recommended Rendition through a friend, and Eric was such a blessing. Sadly, the band was booked for our wedding, but that did not stop them! Eric found me an amazing DJ and two wonderful musicians to play at my wedding. Even though Rendition did not play at my wedding, they remained my point of contact so I only had to speak to one person the entire process. I would recommend working with them for your wedding!
I HIGHLY recommend Rendition for your wedding or minimally Eric as a DJ. They have so much energy. We only had 60 guests and they played with as much energy as if it was 160. Eric has a warmth to him that is exactly what you want at your wedding. Guests came up throughout the night and said “I wish I had these guys at my wedding”, “This band is awesome, do you think they will play at my son’s 3rd birthday??” And “Eric is awesome, he is really good at calling people by their names and making this really personal” Eric did acoustic for the ceremony music, 1 hour acoustic for the cocktail hour, and then the whole band played for the reception. Their service is very affordable and worth every penny. The wedding was so much fun because of them.
Rendition and Eric Ortiz were absolutely wonderful! I could not have asked for a better band to have at my wedding. Our reception felt more like an awesome concert in our honor. Our guests keep raving about how much fun they had thanks to these guys. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to having more than just a boring DJ at their wedding. We love you Rendition!
Eric Ortiz, of Rendition Music, is amazing, and I’d highly recommend him! Eric is not only a great DJ, but he is also a talented singer and guitarist, so for our wedding, Eric played acoustic and sang during our processional, recessional and during dinner, and he DJ’ed our cocktail hour and reception. It was a wonderful, unique combination, and we’ve received countless compliments from our guests on his performance.
Eric was an absolute pleasure to work with, doing everything in his power to make the process as easy as possible for us. Thank you, Eric!!
Let me start off by saying Eric is amazing and made the whole decision between his band and a DJ a no brainer. He is the nicest person I worked with in regards to all of the vendors that helped out for our wedding day. The band really made the reception an amazing time. They were able to keep the dance floor going the ENTIRE night which sometimes is hard to do. If anyone ever needs a band for their wedding or any event, look no further bc these guys are it!
Rendition made our wedding. Everyone loved them and said the only bad thing about our wedding is they couldn't get off the dance floor because every time they tried another great song came on. We loved Eric, such a great guy and so happy and upbeat, refreshing to work with.
My wife and I hired Eric for our wedding this September (2014) and we couldn't be happier! From the start, he was professional, thorough, kind, and most especially talented. He took the time to meet with us two times before the event to get a feel for his performance, ensure he satisfied our needs and wants, handle logistics, fully understand the pronunciations of names, and more.
At the ceremony he was prompt, professional, and all-around amazing. He played two hours of acoustic guitar in addition to being the master of ceremonies (we highly recommend anyone considering his services buy some acoustic time). Typically, I am not a dancer, but as a testament to Eric's positivity and ability to get things going - I literally danced the ENTIRE time. Some might say that's because it was our wedding, but I know Eric's music selection and generally great energy had a lot to do with it.
Our sincerest thanks to Eric Ortiz for helping make our night so very special! We sincerely recommend him to anyone.
Eric Ortiz did our ceremony, cocktail hour and reception and completely blew away our expectations. He kept in great contact before the event, answering any and all questions we had, and was truly the easiest and most relaxing piece of planning! All night our guests kept coming up to us telling us how amazing he was and wanted to know how we found him! He truly made our wedding to be the best night ever, and kept the party going the whole time!
We used Rendition for our wedding reception and they were so good! A family friend recommended them and we couldn't be happier. Eric, the lead singer, was a fantastic master of ceremonies. They have a wide variety of music to play and got everyone up onto the dance floor - all ages. We had the dance floor packed the entire time! The music was great and they were so nice and so easy to work with. They even offer other services that we purchased... a one stop shop, they can do it all! They offer uplighting services, projector/screen rental, etc. and everything was just so fantastic about this band. We got so many compliments that it was so fun and enjoyed it a ton. I highly recommend Rendition! If we were to have another party such as vow renewal or another wedding... we would totally ask them to play for us again!
Rendition was amazing to work with. Eric was so helpful and fun. They really made the reception. It also means a lot to me when someone is willing to work with you on services and prices to give you what you are looking for. Eric played acoustic guitar for our ceremony and it was so beautiful. They really made the event special. Thank you so much guys! I would recommend Rendition to anyone who wants a fun band for their wedding or event. Thanks!
Rendition was fantastic to work with and provided top of the line service for our wedding. They were professional to work with, flexible and made our event exactly what we asked for. I have never seen as many people out on the dance floor at a wedding as were there at the end of our evening; 60% of our guests were still at the reception and were dancing the night away. We received many compliments on our wedding but the most frequent compliment we received was how awesome our band was. In fact, one of our guests booked Rendition for their son's wedding after seeing them at ours. Best choice my husband and I made! I would highly recommend them!
Rendition played at our wedding in May 2011 and were an absolute blast. Eric came to our part of town just to personally meet with us and walk us through the day. The band kept the dance floor full. They learned our first dance song and made it very memorable. I would recommend Rendition for any wedding - they are professional, attentive, and fun!
The best decision that we made for our wedding was having Rendition play. They are a great band and will make your wedding memorable, fantastic, and wonderful. They are great to work with. Eric makes everything easy and assists in every way possible. Rendition will set the playlist to what you like and will keep everyone on the dance floor. After our wedding, every talked about what a great band they were and how awesome they made everything. Our feedback was all posititve and the music makes the wedding, so if you want good music, then Rendition is what you want! They interact with the crowd and just makes everything so special. There is no question, if you want a great wedding - book RENDITION!!
We first discovered RENDITION during Sunday brunch at Rockit Bar and Grill. Their song variety and classic, laid back sound was exactly what we were looking for. We hired RENDITION to play during our pre and post wedding cocktail hour, during the ceremony and for our first dance as husband and wife. I was pretty particular as to the exact songs I wanted and they were more than accomodating. They even learned a new song per my request (and I only gave them about (2) weeks notice!).
Leading up to the wedding, they were very responsive to my plethora of emails and provided song suggestions to help ease my stress level. They made themselves available for meetings and put my mind at ease that everything would go smoothly and perfectly. And it did.
My husband and I are three days away from our one year anniversary and whenever we get together with guests, they still rave about RENDITION. Hiring RENDITION was one of the best decisions we made for our big day and really made every moment even more meaningful and memberable.
Rendition helped make our wedding perfect! They were wonderful to work with from the start. Eric, the lead singer, met with us prior to the wedding to walk through the details and go through playlists. He even came to our final site walkthrough. Rendition goes the distance and makes sure you have a fantastic experience. For example, they started their set early because our dinner finished ahead of schedule. Something some bands won’t do. Rendition is the reason our wedding was a BLAST and we are so great full we hired them. Our friends still talk about them today and we love that we get to still see them play all around the city (to relive that magical day). Enough searching … hire them before some one else does!!!
If I could give this band 10 stars I would. There are 3 main aspects of a reception that can either make or break it: food, alcohol, and the music. This band will definitely make your reception. Rendition is absolutely FANTASTIC! There was not one moment at any point throughout the night that the dance floor was not absolutely packed. The band is extremely talented and definitely knows how to read a crowd. They are some of the nicest guys that I have ever met and my husband and I could not be happier about their performance at our reception. We recommend them to all of our newly engaged friends. Even the owner of our banquet hall commented that he had never seen a dance floor so full all night long and that our band was phenomenal. If they are available on your wedding date, book them ASAP. You WILL NOT be disappointed!
Of all of the decisions that I made through the course of planning my wedding, Rendition was by far the best! Rendition played the music at my ceremony and at my reception. Rendition truly created a beautiful ambiance for my ceremony, and they helped make my reception fun and memorable. I received so much positive feedback regarding the band and the music. They play a wide variety of music and tailor the song selections to the bride and groom’s style. They know how to get the party going and keep it going through the very last song. My dance floor was full all night long, and each of the band members spent time and energy engaging with my guests and having fun with them. Their experience and professionalism shines through their skillful ability to perform excellent music while serving as the Masters of Ceremony. Eric spent a lot of time with me in helping me plan my reception, and he paid attention to small details that I had not even thought of. Eric was great about returning phone calls and emails to answer all of the questions that I had. Throughout the planning stage and on my wedding day I was able to relax and enjoy knowing that Eric had everything taken care of. Rendition truly cared about my wedding and went above and beyond to ensure that my special day was a success.
