Retro JukeBox Band

to hire them again!

ing about them.

dding -- thanks in large part to how fabulous Retro JukeBox band is. Geechi, our MC, was amazing and fun. He seamlessly helped guide the flow of the reception and was a powerful front man for the band. I can't stress enough Retro JukeBox's professionalism and quality. They will bring the 'fun' to your party!

ll definitely be reaching out to them again for our next event.

rom all over the world and they nailed it with the music select!! I highly recommend them!!!

at suggestions on songs and background music, and then absolutely rocked the day-of. In particular they helped us find extra musicians to do a New Orleans style 2nd-line entrance for the groom which was a huge hit. They also made an effort to include Indian-influenced music and rhythms, which most bands cannot do on the fly. Geechi was an excellent MC during our wedding day, with exactly the right amount of talking, while still keeping us on time. In terms of actual music they were killers - they have a huge range of styles and fulfilled our request for a dance-heavy funk, R&B, and pop collection for our dance floor. I've never seen my dad dance so much, and I give most of the credit to Geechi and the band. I couldn't recommend them more highly - they are true professionals.

. Our fears were instantly abated when Retro Jukebox started. The band's acoustic play was wonderful and Geechi was able to sing so well you didn't notice the lack of a microphone. We were beyond impressed and would love to have them again at a future event. Thank you all at Retro Jukebox for such a wonderful time. You helped make our special day that more memorable!

ctly that, entertaining the entire crowd during their entire set and keeping the dance floor full! Beyond that, they were a pleasure to work with and very accommodating to everything we needed. Can't recommend them highly enough!

le. Thank you!!

edible artists, they are incredible, friendly, and personable people. You won't regret hiring them!

(or any event, really). The team arrived on time and were willing to go with the flow throughout the event and went above and beyond to great a great experience. They also supply DJ and MC services! It was such a pleasure working with them, and I highly recommend booking Retro Jukebox.

mazing... I just wish there was more time to DANCE!!! and hear the band... :) So thank you once again for making our dream come true- literally. :) God bless and good luck to you in the future!!

hich was so much fun to dance to live. They even decided to play a live rendition of Old MacDonald which was a huge hit (brunch wedding on farm with a ton of kids)! Guests could not stop complementing the band!

and has a great vibe that wedding guests of all ages loved. If you are looking for a live band that you know will make your event truly memorable look no further.

. They will cater to your style and put their spin on some old music favorites. Geechi, the band leader, has great charisma which attracted us in the first place. He gets everyone involved and very engaged with the audience. Even during the wedding day, he came to us just to make sure that we were all on the same page. We love this band! However, we had a little problem with communications in the beginning of the process, but once Geechi took over the handling of this, he was pretty much on top of things and we really do appreciate that! We would totally recommend them for your next event!

y transparent (and affordable) pricing, very organized/professional, and above all else - friendly!!! I can't thank them enough for being the highlight of our reception.

erent types of music. Everyone at the wedding was blown away and kept asking us where we found this band! I have never had so much fun dancing at a wedding and this band was the main reason. I highly recommend booking this band for any event where you want to leave an amazing impression on your guests.

nd the Retro Jukebox band play at the event. It was a stunning, over the top success and the Jukebox team was at the core of it! I've been to million dollar weddings and have to say this one was as fun and intimate as anything I've seen. This was an especially challenging affair for a band. It was an outdoor venue in Capitola overlooking the Monterrey Bay at the Monarch Cove Inn. We wanted the beach/bluff front venue as our first priority, but the venue doesn't allow amplification, and you've got the breeze, trees and the sea as background sound effects. Anyone that knows music, knows it takes real talent to sound great without amplification in an open air environment. It was an awesome affair and the band was great. There were three keys to the successful outcome with regard to the musical requirements of a wedding. 1. Sound: The band has to be great. These guys were great. Without amplification we had the place jumping with killer R&B, Jazz & Rock and Roll. The dance floor was a crowded ball of fun that included the entire cross section of attendance from the dance lovers to the wall flowers. The energy of that dance floor was like a black hole sucking everyone to it's core. 2. Timing & Organization: Don't overlook this. Your band is a key part of the synchronization of events that make an event magical. It's the hiccups and odd pauses that detract from an event. Geechi and I synched up; he gets it and has deep experience to draw on. I poke my head out my daughters threshold to look out at the crowd and instantly see Geechi's attentive gaze. I give him the thumbs up and he cues the band. Keeping eye contact throughout the processional, stepping to the beat with Geechi's head bobbing to each step; we are in-synch, en fuego. All through the event he's making sure we are in-synch and we are shooting cues back and forth. We didn't need a wedding planner; just a great band/event leader/MC and a father of the bride that knows what kind of a party he wants. 3. Charisma: Geechi's got charisma. A great band without a charismatic leader can do just fine at many venues, but not at a wedding. When you've got the ceremony, the introductions, speeches, cake ceremony, etc, you need someone to bring the energy and charisma to each new segue of the event. To all you fathers out there, heed my advice. You need these three things above and I can say the Retro Jukebox band has these ingredients in abundance. I had so much fun and I will have this band again if I am ever so fortunate to host another even like this. If I could give 6 stars to this band I would.

their live performance. We worked with Geechi to set up the reception and he was relaxed enough that it helped us relax as well. Feeling relaxed was an added bonus, and if you're planning a wedding you'll know what a luxury that is! We worked with RJB in a few ways: a smaller group played jazz during our cocktail hour (we loved it!), then Geechi emceed our introductions masterfully (not an easy job when your family is a mix of difficult Greek, Indian, and Filipino names...), and then the RJB septet brought the house down during our reception. We asked for a few specific songs, which they played beautifully. Geechi told us they usually just read the crowd and then go with it - and that's what they did. Everyone told us that the band was unbelievable. EVERYONE was dancing. We didn't want the party to end! If you're looking for a band that's going to blow you and your guests away, that is a great value, and that is going to actually help you relax during the stressful months of wedding planning, DEFINITELY hire Retro JukeBox Band. They were the best and I'd love to work with them again (and also be friends with them)!

ting, and just a phenomenal talent. The band can play anything, and will get everyone on their feet and having a great time. The best!

fun on the dance floor. I was especially impressed with their ability to start with jazz/swing music and then switch to modern day covers to keep the energy and party going into the evening. Thank you for making our party a night to remember! All of our guests loved the fact that we had a live band, and we are very happy that it was Retro Jukebox.

rth Lake Tahoe wedding, I felt a lot of pressure to find the perfect band that would help make our wedding reception the best night (and party) of our lives. I've been to a couple weddings where the band was terrible, and it really put a damper on an otherwise great evening, and I was resolved to not let this happen to our wedding.. Thank God we found Retro Jukebox Band (RJB)! I can't remember exactly how I came across them - I looked at so many sites and bands - but I am so glad I did. I can't begin to express how great Geechi, John and the rest of the crew were to work with and how they truly made our special night the best of our lives. They played "What a Wonderful World" and "La Vie en Rose" during our ceremony, which were so beautifully played and sung. They played the perfect background jazz music for our cocktail hour and dinner. And most importantly, they kept the dance floor full all night, starting with all the Motown hits (our favorite) and on to Prince and Michael Jackson. They can play anything and everything and they play it all so well! After their set was done, they seamlessly transitioned to DJ mode and kept the party going. No one wanted to leave the dance floor when the night was over. After initally finding RJB, I reached out to them and was cordially invited to check out one of their gigs at the Birdland Jazzista in Oakland, CA. As it turned out, it was basically a private show for my fiancé and I! As soon as they started playing, I knew they were the right band for our wedding. I instantly found them to be the type of band that gets your foot tapping and makes you want to get up and dance - even without a single drop of alcohol in you - ha! We had only intended to stay for a few songs just to check them out but ended up staying for a couple hours for their entire gig because we were having such a great time and were enjoying their music so much. It was a no brainer - they were hired! Plus, we got a chance to get to know Geechi, John and their bandmates during their breaks. They are the coolest, nicest guys you'd ever want to meet - just the kind of people you'd want to have be a part of your special day! As for the planning and logistics leading up to our wedding, they are SO easy to work with and were a true bright spot for us among a lot of other vendors that were really difficult to deal with. They are super flexible with their playlist and will play exactly what you want them to play in the order you want them to play it or they can just freestyle and work the crowd. They are all about the customer and will do whatever it takes to make your day special - exactly what you want on your big day. We also found their fees to be very reasonable compared to other bands we talked to. RJB was the MVP of our whole wedding! Just writing this review brings back so many good memories - I wish we could do that night all over again. If you're looking for an awesome live band for your wedding and want a night that you'll never forget, do yourself a favor and hire Retro Jukebox Band! You won't regret it!! And feel free to ask Geechi to put you in touch with me - as you can tell, I can go on an on about how great these guys are!

is extensive and their range amazing. Geechi has great presence and the drummer could have kept the party going alone for hours. They accommodated to all of our needs, MCed the event with respect and kept the party dancing all night. I can't even say enough good things about this band !

ng them to them performing! Our dance floor was packed all night and people are still talking about the band and how much fun they had!! We have been to a few weddings with live bands and none of the bands were on the level of Retro Jukebox Band. They have fair prices, quality music, amazing vocals and very flexible with many options of music to choose from. They truly were the highlight of our day. Hire them you will be extremely happy with them.

nal, we just were not prepared on just how amazing they were live. They definitely blew us away. The music was great, the energy was incredible, they engaged my guest and we just danced all night. They even agreed to extend an hour because we were having such an awesome time. You defiantly want a band like Retro Jukebox, they are sure to rock the house and impress everyone! Trish Tate

than "ok" for my wedding day. I looked around came across Retro Jukebox, I listened to their songs and knew right away, they were the band for my wedding. Best choice I could have made. On the day of my wedding, they were incredible! The ceremony music was lovely, they really know how to perform, the reception was so much fun, even my mother was dancing non stop. I'm so happy I chose them, they really made my day special. If you want an AMAZING band, you defiantly want to hire them.

tion was amazing. They were great to work with from the start, and I couldn't be more pleased with the level of professionalism, expertise and energy they delivered. This is defiantly one of the best bands in the Bay Area. All of my guest were telling me how beautiful my wedding was and how great the band was. I would highly recommend them.

the night would be amazing! They took the time to understand exactly what we wanted, 1950's Jazz, Motown, Blues and more. They knocked it out of the park. All my guest were dancing the entire night and I had so many guest tell me they were the best band they had ever seen at a wedding. Thank you sooooo much for making my wedding the best day of my life!
