Enthusiastically recommend The Rich Posmontier Ensemble! Our guests are still raving about them. Music and dancing are extremely important to us. So we wanted a 10-piece band that would help create the party of our lives. We had heard this band perform at three events in the area prior to our wedding and knew right after we got engaged that we needed to book them. They did not disappoint us. The emcee Rich is a true professional who knows how to put on a show. The vocalists and musicians are amazing. We also wanted a variety of tunes that spanned the decade and they came through. The dance floor was packed all night long. Everything came together perfectly on May 18, 2019. We’re so happy that we chose The Rich Posmontier Ensemble. The memories will last forever. :-)
My husband and I cannot be happier about choosing Rich Posmontier Ensemble to play our wedding. Rich was so easy to work with leading up to the wedding regarding all the planning details, and they truly customized the performance to what we were looking for. At the wedding, they sounded phenomenal and kept the party going and people up dancing until the very end of the night. So many of our guests raved about the band and asked for their business card so they could use them for future events. We would highly recommend Rich Posmontier Ensemble to anyone looking for an extremely talented and fun band!
Rich and his Ensemble did an amazing job playing at our daughter's wedding! The volume was perfect so we did not have to scream over the music. The vocalists and musicians were wonderful and kept our guests dancing all night! Our guests loved them too!
We loved this band. We had such a blast, they are amazing musicians and really made the party last. My sister wrote a song for us and they let her and my brother perform with them. They picked up on her melody and continued it for background music during the beginning of dinner. Truly exceptional. Very professional, worked with us and tailored the evening to our requests. Seamless transitions, we did not worry about a thing. Thank you, Rich Posmontier Ensemble!
Best wedding band hands down, second to none. We listened to them at a private showcase, we were sold on the, at the showcase. When the time came for the actual event, they were even better than the private showcase and completely exceed our expectations. Every guests was speechless and all they could say was, where did you find this band? Every guest was out of their seats and on the dance floor. The music line up was perfect and was played in perfect harmony of the night. When the band said they play “non-stop”, we kinda said ok, sure and didn’t believe what they said as “non-stop.” On the night of the event, the band lived up to the “non-stop” music play. Each member rotated breaks and the band never stopped playing once. A full event of real “non-stop” live music with zero break or intermission. Beyond anything we have ever experienced at another other wedding event. Truly the best band!!!
Rich Ponsmontier Ensemble was fantastic! They made the whole process fun and easy. They were great at contacting us and staying in touch to make sure they knew what kind of music we wanted played and keeping everyone organized. We had a violin and keyboard added for our ceremony that sounded beautiful and continued to play through cocktail hour. Then during the reception they kept everyone energized and wanting to dance. The dance floor was full all night long! The band also learned three songs that we asked for and they sounded great all night. It was as if they were reading our minds picking songs we wanted to hear and staying one step ahead of us. I highly recommend Rich and his band!!
Rich Ponsmontier Ensemble was AMAZING!!!! I cannot say enough amazing things about the phenomenal music they played at our cocktail hour and reception. We were so thrilled with all the communication from our first time we saw them play at a showcase until our big day. They played all music WE LOVE and really listened to our taste. The dance floor was packed the whole night- just how we wanted it to be. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making our wedding so memorable and special. - Kerry and Sonny Lutz
The Rich Posmontier Ensemble was highly recommended by a friend, so we made a reservation to see them at one of their monthly showcases. We were very impressed and also excited to find such talent. We’ve seen a lot of wedding bands in recent years and felt there was no need to look any further. Everything went down without a hitch, from the pre-wedding planning to the last song of the night. The band was very tight and professional. Rich read the crowd brilliantly and adjusted the music to ensure the dance floor was packed all night. Almost every guest I spoke to complimented me about the band. I highly recommend checking them out. If you do, you probably won’t be looking any further.
My husband and I cannot say enough WONDERFUL things about the Rich Posmontier Ensemble. Rich and Sharon were easy to work with from start to finish! My daughter's wedding was quite the PAR-TAY with Rich and his band performing. The dance floor was never empty and all of our guests continue to rave about what a wonderful band we had at the wedding. They had an enormous selection of music to choose from and they played exactly what the bride and groom selected! Rich and the band even learned a song so some of the guests could surprise the bride and groom with a flash mob dance. You should have seen the bride's face for that one. The bride and groom were thrilled with the whole night and the music made it all the better. WHY? Because the band was lively, happy, and genuinely enjoyed playing at the wedding. The whole reception noticed that too. The band played to the bride and groom the whole night which made it even more special. What an outstanding band! A definite must for any event!!! Thank you Rich and the entire band for making our daughter's wedding unforgettable!
The Rich Posmontier Ensemble was one of the key ingredients of our wedding being a ton of fun! They were extremely accommodating since our timeline changed up a bit at the last minute. They also learned my husband and my wedding song, which we really think they did a wonderful job with! We couldn't have been happier!
My husband and I cannot thank the Rich Posmontier Ensemble enough. Rich and Sharon were fantastic to work with for planning guide. This made scheduling the introductions and events of the night a breeze. The night of the wedding -- Rich and the ensemble were able to read the crowd and adjust the music accordingly in order to keep the dance floor packed the entire night. It was easy to lose track of time because of how good this band is -- from vocals to instruments they have it all. Hopefully we get to go to another wedding one day where we will be able to dance to their music again.
Words can't express how amazing the Rich Postmontier band is!! You have to hear and see them to believe it! My husband and I got Married back on November 5th 2016, and I have been meaning to write this review for some time. Rich was one of the most professional people I have ever worked with, he had a solid and realistic timeline, was very organized with the schedule, and put together a knock out song list. I will also mention that this was a Greek wedding where we also had to coordinate a Greek DJ to play some short sets, and again, Rich coordinated everything seamlessly, and even pronounced those Greek names perfectly! Most importantly, the entire wedding.. and I mean every single wedding guest, was on the dance floor the WHOLE NIGHT! Last song of the night there were no seats filled, everyone was having the time of their lives, us included! Thank you to Rich and his Ensemble for making this a night we will never forget!
We had a great experience with Rich and the band. The music was lively, lots of fun -- we danced all night, and even people who didn't dance really enjoyed the energy and quality of the band. I also appreciated the time Rich took to have an initial call with us, then a few more closer to the big day. Highly, highly recommend. The bank engaged the audience. Lots of fun.
I cannot say it enough - THE RICH POSMONTIER ENSEMBLE IS THE BEST WEDDING BAND AROUND!!! My husband and I just got married October 2016 and we are still talking about how amazing the music was. Rich and his staff are wonderful to work with from the first showcase, to booking your date, to pre-wedding check-ins and finally the actual wedding day.
They learned 3 songs for us and they sounded great. From the time we booked the band to our wedding they had already learned almost all the new popular songs that we were going to ask about.
Rich played at my sister's wedding in 2011 and has continued to get better. Everyone was up and dancing the entire reception which is exactly what we wanted. If you want the dance floor full and great music playing Rich is your guy.
He takes the time to really get to know you and practices the pronunciations of your bridal party for all your introductions. He is a class act! Do yourself a favor and book Rich Posmontier Ensemble!!! You will not regret it!
I'm just getting to this now, a year after we got married. I know, definitely terrible for me to do so, so late. But, I just want to say, now, that there were so many favorite things of ours from our wedding day, and, the Rich Posmontier Ensemble is really right at the top of the list. They must work so hard together because "Wow", they were absolutely fantastic. They had such a high level of fun in them that night, both on stage and on the dance floor with us and all of our guests, and we all reveled in it as they played song after song for us. I loved them, my wife thought they were perfect, both of our families and friends just kept on dancing throughout the night. To this day, folks who were at our wedding, go on an on about how phenomenal of a time they had, and they always end with "..and the band!" It always puts the biggest smile on my face when they say that. Im so glad that we chose a band for our wedding, and I'm absolutely thrilled that we chose to go with Rich. We had such a great experience with them as they sang all of our songs that we had picked from their playlist and the extra songs that we asked them to play. I know they must be so busy with other weddings and other events, but as soon as they played those extra songs, our ears perked up and we ran to the dance floor. It was just a couple extra songs that we both picked up on as our day got closer and closer, and we really liked the harmony and the words that went with them. So, we were ecstatic that Rich and his ensemble were able to learn those songs so quickly. Throughout the experience, the Rich Posmontier Ensemble were true professionals, they were personable in the lead up to our day, they showed up on time, they were able to keep the flow of the wedding, their stamina and spirit were so upbeat and they seemed so flexible that they will perform well at any kind of wedding, and at any other event, for sure. If we were able to pass along any advice to others who may be thinking about Rich and his ensemble, you truly want someone who can lead, organize and help set the tone for the sequence of events throughout the entire night, and can work well with the folks who are doing the hosting for the wedding reception, i.e. the wedding organizers. For all of that, we were absolutely impressed with them, and highly recommend them to folks considering them for their event. Peer and Lindsay, happily married for 1 year! Thanks Rich Posmontier Ensemble! Really looking forward to another event with you guys!
A pleasure to work with & had everyone dancing all night! Everyone in the band is incredibly talented, and we're still getting comments from guests about how much fun they had on the dance floor.
The Rich Posmontier Ensemble was AMAZING!! I am beyond happy that we had them play at our wedding. They made the whole planning process so easy and fun! They had every single one of our guests up on the dance floor singing along and dancing!! They completely nailed it , We still to this day have our guests telling us how amazing they were! Thank you for making it a night we will NEVER forget!!!
Rich and his band played our wedding back in May and they were amazing! They kept the night so energetic and everyone had a great time. Rich and his assistant were also super easy to work with before the wedding and I really liked that they spent time with me on the phone learning how to pronounce everyone's name. I've been to so many weddings where names are completely butchered. It was a night we will never forget and Rich and his band were a huge part of that!
A truly amazing and incredibly versatile band! I was so impressed with the professionalism and skill of this band from my first conversation with Rich through the energetic and phenomenal performance at our wedding. If you want to have an amazing dance party at your wedding reception, this is the band to hire. They will not disappoint...our wedding was months ago and our guests are still talking about the awesome band that played! Thanks Rich and band!!
The Rich Posmontier Ensemble was awesome! Great range of vocal talent to cover a broad range of music. The musicianship was impeccable, professional and enthusiastic. I can't say enough great things. I'd hire them again in a minute!!
Still getting compliments on how good the band was a month after our wedding!!! We had been to a few weddings before our own with the band, so this was the easiest decision for us when planning our wedding. Highly recommend if you want non stop dancing and a group of professionals that really know how to play music based on your guests!
The band was great! Our guests danced non stop! We chose well!
Rich and his band were a pleasure to deal with. The string quartet he brought in for the ceremony played beautifully, and his jazz trio were a great complement to cocktail hour. His band really made the whole night though – many, many guests told us it was the best wedding band they had ever heard! He kept everyone dancing from beginning to end. Can’t recommend them enough!
Outstanding, energetic performance with fantastic music at the Cressman Dwyer wedding!! From the bridal party entrance to the last song they got the crowd going and kept us going until the end. I have no doubt everyone there would highly recommend them.
We cannot thank Rich and his wonderful band enough for their incredible performance at our wedding this past weekend. They were a joy to work with from the moment we contacted them. They learned several new songs for us, had everyone dancing, and we got so many rave reviews from our guests. Your vocalists are incredibly talented and we loved their ability to perform both old swing and jazz that we love so much as well as modern pop music for our guests. Rich was a fantastic MC and kept the evening flowing smoothly, from the ceremony to the last song. We are so happy we chose you to be part of our special day-- you helped to make it amazing!
This band is STELLAR, and there is really no style of music they can't do. They were very flexible, gracious, professional, and attentive, and our guests raved about the quality of the music. The first dance we chose required a cello, which is not part of the band, but they were able to bring one in and turn cocktail hour music into keyboard + cello. It was lovely.
Perhaps what I appreciate the most is the lengthy call two weeks or so before the wedding to go over the schedule in detail, including the correct pronunciation of everyone, the style you would like them to use in announcements, songs that you really want/don't want them to play, etc. They were carefully precise in every single detail, and allowed us to just relax and enjoy. The music quality can't be matched, and I highly recommend them. They are so, so easy to work with.
Rich and his band were amazing! I can't tell you how many compliments we got on the music. The energy was great and Rich and his band were on point with keeping everyone entertained and on the dance floor. I was so impressed with how accommodating Rich was, especially with learning new songs for us and taking into account the types of music we enjoy. Additionally, Rich was extremely organized and responsive before the wedding. Rich made us feel at ease--he really was on top of everything and made planning our wedding stress-free.
The band also played music for our ceremony. Sharon, Rich's assistant, sang at the ceremony and helped organize all of the music for this part of our big day. Sharon is a trained opera singer and has experience as a cantor at weddings. Working with her was great--she truly went above and beyond and allowed us to pick all of the songs we wanted for the ceremony. Sharon was able to make our ceremony so special and unique--we're so thankful we got to work with her!
I really can't say enough great things about Rich, Sharon, and the entire ensemble and would say if you're looking for a band for your wedding....your search should stop here. I promise you won't regret hiring the Rich Posmontier Ensemble for your big day....they really are the best!
The Rich Posmontier Ensemble is absolutely amazing! So many guests came up to us and told us "the band was REALLY great!" Rich and the band are very professional, multi-talented musicians. Rich was a pleasure to work with from Day 1. The music we selected for the night was blended perfectly for each set to create a highly energetic, happy vibe all night long. Rich and band members were very flexible as well; they learned several new songs just for the wedding reception. In addition, Rich worked closely with our daughter Kristen and provided wonderful music for the wedding ceremony.
Thank you to Rich and his band for an unforgettable wedding celebration – everyone had such a great time dancing the night away. Lifetime memories were made that night! We would highly recommend The Rich Posmontier Ensemble for your wedding or special event; they are fantastic! Thanks Rich for making our evening such a wonderful memory!
Darcy & Dan D’Andrea
I HIGHLY recommend the Rich Posmontier Ensemble!! Having come from a very musical background, music was one of THE most important aspects of our wedding, and they absolutely nailed it. From the intro, to the first dance, father/daughter, mother/daughter dance - everything was absolutely perfect. Rich himself would come to find me in the crowd from time-to-time to keep me posted on timing for speeches, cake cutting, etc. I couldn't believe it!! Not to mention, they kept everyone on the dance floor from the beginning to the end, of ages from 20 to 90. He even encouraged our guests to participate - and even had one of our groomsmen join him on stage! I can't rave enough about this band. You are lucky if you can snag them for your wedding!!
This band was so awesome! We got so many compliments at the wedding and days and weeks after the wedding about them! They really kept the party going and made the wedding a hit. My mom loves the band and they played at two of my other sisters weddings. It was such a fun night and we had the perfect music to go with it! Thanks Rich!
Having 5 children 4 of whom are daughters we are proud to say we’ve hosted our last wedding. As parents of the bride, we were able to highly recommend the band and for the third time Rich Posmentier was the ensemble of choice. The ensemble is incredibly talented and extremely professional. Rich and Sharon took care of all the details including but not limited to: learning new songs for the ceremony which were non-traditional, helping arrange the reception schedule to keep the caterer happy, and playing music for every generation at the wedding. It was wonderful to look around the venue and see 99% of the tables empty because everyone was dancing. The ensemble can play any type of music and because there are females in the group the vocal range is exceptional especially when a female voice is essential to a song. Once again Rich and the Ensemble came through. My only regret…I didn’t get to thank them personally at the end of the night.
Having great live music was important for my wife and I at the wedding. Rich Posmontier Ensemble delivered and then some. These guys rocked the party the WHOLE time and the guests are still telling me how awesome the band was.
Great range, wonderful professionalism, and awesome MC-ing to boot. 5 stars without a doubt
Wonderful!!!!!
Rich is the the best. Everyone is raving about the music at our wedding. People danced who
never dance. The band created such great energy and kept everyone on their feet.
Rich is a pleasure to work with. He works very hard to make your party the best event ever. It's as important to him that it be a success as to you.
The Rich Posmontier Ensemble is absolutely amazing!! I couldn't keep count of how many people told my "the band was REALLY great!" They are professional and just plain talented musicians. I went to many wedding band showcases and found that most of them were just about how flashy can we present ourselves, whereas The Rich Posmontier Ensemble just gave me great music, which is especially important since my dad is a music producer! If you're looking for classy over flashy, definitely choose Rich's Ensemble. He is very professional and was great at problem-solving when the power went out during our first dance!! Everyone started singing, the saxophone went acoustic and we finished our dance! Ten minutes later, the power came back on and his ensemble carried on. I also loved that Rich's price is much more reasonable than other wedding bands. Thank you to Rich and his musicians - we had such a great time dancing the night away, letting myself and a few of my friends get up and sing some songs, and keeping the music going every single minute!
The Rich Posmontier Ensemble played at my wedding last June and people are still talking about them! Rich was very organized, and made sure that everything was covered from the song list to the correct pronunciation of all the names in our wedding party. They helped us through the process from start to finish, suggesting songs and making sure that all of our concerns were answered.
Everyone was up dancing all night long and couldn't believe that it was a live band playing and not recordings.
I can't say enough about this band, they were professional, talented and fun! Highly recommend!
The Rich Posmontier Ensemble performed at our winder wedding two weeks ago. The band did a phenomenal job creating a fun atmosphere and keeping people on the dance floor. We received many compliments about the band from our guests. We were impressed by their talent and professionalism on the wedding day and throughout the planning process. As an out-of-town bride, I especially appreciated their responsiveness and thorough paperwork leading up to the event. Check out the Rich Posmontier Band if you are looking for an experienced band who you can trust to create a fun and memorable evening!
The Rich Posmontier band was awesome and we are thrilled they played at our wedding! You can tell they've been working together for a long time - they are extremely professional, have a great vibe together, and know how to work the room. They were very responsive to our special song requests, learning several new pieces to play for us. Rich was also happy to play a more back-seat role in making announcements during the dinner, since we preferred to have our friend be our MC. SO MANY people told us they hadn't had so much fun dancing in ages, and definitely not so much fun dancing at a wedding. Rich and his band were a fantastic group, and we'd highly recommend them!
Rich, his singers, and his orchestra were absolutely fantastic! Our daughter and her fiance live out of town and Rich made the process so easy. He was extremely responsive to emails and phone calls and most of all was very flexible as we adjusted the flow of the evening, the things we wanted to add for an elegant cocktail hour etc.Rich provided a guide to help think through the evening for the inexperienced :) The ceremony music was perfect: timing, choice of processional music, etc. The cocktail hour trio was elegant and classic. Then for the rest of the evening - as all our guests said: this was THE best band they had ever heard. The singers were impressive. Rich as MC kept the party going. We had folks who came from across the country and hope to ask Rich to come out to do their future events. Seriously, you will be so pleased with Rich orchestrating at your special event - as we were.
The Rich Posmontier Ensemble truly made my wedding unforgettable! From the moment they started playing, no one could stay in their seats. Throughout the night and in the days after our wedding, the majority of the feedback we got was about how much fun the band was; they created such an energetic atmosphere that even our grandparents couldn't stop dancing! We actually had guests request the band's information for their own future events! Not only was the music superb, but everyone I spoke to from the band, especially Rich, was vey professional and dedicated to combining their extensive knowledge with our specific requests in order to make our reception and unforgettable experience. I would absolutely recommend the Rich Posmontier Ensemble to every bride and groom, especially for those looking to dance the night away!!! Rich Posmontier Ensemble...best band ever.
All of the reviews I'd read about Rich Posmontier before we hired them were true at my wedding … so I'll throw mine on the pile as well!
How good was Rich?
- So good that he went above and beyond in answering questions and helping talk everyone through the process even before we'd hired him.
- So good that everyone (older relatives included) were up dancing during the first song they played, and the dance floor stayed crowded all night!
- So good that the Father of the Bride, who was skeptical of hiring a band, has since said many, many times that the band was fantastic and "was a good idea." (Consider this the best proof that Rich Posmontier really was great.)
Rich and his band really made it the party we wanted it to be. On top of that, he's as nice, patient, and experienced as they come - a great and easy vendor to work with.
We also found him to be much more reasonably priced than bands of a comparable quality. His was one of the best bands we heard, bar none. And yet they were still relatively affordable (at least so far as wedding bands go).
I really just can't say enough good things. A true professional!
[Edited 3 years later to add: Every year since we've been married, people tell us what a fun wedding we had, and specifically comment on the great band.]
My father experienced this band several years ago, kept their information and swore he would book them for my wedding (he said this before I was even engaged!). True to form, my father booked Rich Posmontier as our first vendor! We actually had to find a location for the reception based on the band's availability - thats how much we loved them. Rich and his team were very on top of things and very flexible to play a couple extra special songs that were not on their list. If he would do so, I'd have him as my planner as well! He did more organized planning that my own planner. It was very impressive. The band was very professional, on time and an absolute blast. Many of my guests commented that they never thought a band at a wedding would be this much fun. A bit on the pricey side, but if you think of this as a once in a lifetime event, it is worth it. They will surely entertain and certainly will not disappoint! Highly recommended.
Rich, Sharon, and team were fabulous! It's been two weeks since our wedding and we're still hearing what a fun party it was, due in large part to the Rich Posmontier Ensemble. Rich and Sharon worked with us to go through every detail before the big day, to make sure that the party was reflective of my husband and me. The dance floor was packed the minute the reception started until the end of the evening. Rich and team even learned how to play our first dance song -- a very meaningful song for us. Thank you Rich and team for making this an evening we will remember for a lifetime.
Rich is the best of the best. He made our wedding spectacular. All of our guests raved about our band. The smartest of all of our wedding selections.
My husband and I had the Rich Posmontier Ensemble at our wedding in July of 2014 and we would highly recommend them. Rich and the entire band were extremely helpful throughout the process. They understood the type of atmosphere we wanted to create at our reception and were the perfect compliment. They really got everyone on the dance floor and we had a ball! Our guests are still raving about how great the band was and how much fun they had! Thank you for a truly memorable evening!
-M&M
Rich Posmontier Ensemble was an absolute pleasure to work with and be a part of our wedding. They were recommended to me by the mother of a past bride. Since I was having a Jewish wedding my husband and I wanted a band that was familiar with all of the common Jewish wedding tunes for the ceremony and reception. And they did an amazing job. The dance floor was filled almost the entire night and still, almost 6 months after the wedding we still get compliments about the band!
I can't thank Rich and his band enough for being such an important part of making our wedding reception a special night. I have lost count as to how many people, during and since the wedding, raved about the band.
Not only are you tremendous performers, you were a pleasure to work with throughout the entire process.
At the right times you take over the room and have everyone dancing. At other times you were the perfect complement to enhance whatever was going on. At all times you were enjoying what you do so well.
Thanks again,
Wayne & Gillian
This band was amazing. Rich and his team are incredibly talented musicians and also extremely professional. All of our guests said that we had one of the best weddings they had ever been to and a big part of that is because of the fantastic music! The band never stops to take a break and can play anything. I will never forget how wonderful the Rich and his team were to me and my family!
We used rich and his band in 2008 and again in 2014 they get better with age we are still being asked how to find them. They kept everyone dancing the night away! No matter what the age they give everyone something to enjoy and I would use them again if I had another daughter! I highly recommend them professional, through and through!
My husband and I got married in February of 2014. My sister got married back in 2008. We both used rich Posmontier ensemble for our weddings. From 2008 until now? I can with out a doubt say the were cream of the crop as far as bands go. All I said to him was I want you guys to get people on the dance floor, and that's exactly what they did. rich was honest with me about song selections and made sure the dance floor was filled all night long. People are still talking about them. They have an unbeatable price point and the quality is impeccable. They really know how to get a party going. And that's what everyone remembers about a wedding. You'd be crazy not to use them as your band. They were AMAZING!!! Not to mention easy to work with! I still and always would recommend them to any brides that ask about music for a wedding! :) REMARKABLE!!
We had Rich and his band for our daughter's wedding. She was living in Europe and we had the pleasure of selecting the band for her wedding. Rich was incredibly accommodating in working with us. He was both professional and organized. At the wedding our guests, some of whom were from Europe, were in awe at how wonderful they were. The group made the reception fun and were willing to help us infuse some of the grooms traditional music into their play sets. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for a wedding band!!
The Rich Posmontier Ensemble did an absolutely amazing job playing our recent October wedding! From the start of the process, the band was wonderful and professional to work with. They responded to our inquiry about their availability immediately and invited us to a showcase. At the showcase, we were able to hear a large selection of their tunes. They demonstrated extreme talent at the showcase- and were even better on our wedding night! The dance floor was full all evening! They knew exactly what songs to play in order to keep our guests dancing and having fun. We've received countless compliments on how much fun our wedding was! All of our guests have rave reviews for the Rich Posmontier Ensemble! It was truly the best day of our lives- and we have Rich and the band members to thank for making it an absolutely unforgettable experience.
The Rich Posmontier Ensemble has played at both of our daughter's weddings in June 2010 and in October 2014. We can't say enough good things about them. They had everyone, and I mean everyone up dancing. We have heard so many comments about how much fun people had, most people saying it was the best wedding ever. What a professional group! Rich is wonderful to work with, and the band members are top notch…fabulous musicians, beautiful voices, and fun, fun, fun. THE BEST. Look no further for a band. If they are available for your date, book them immediately. Your wedding reception will be even more fabulous than you could ever imagine. Everyone will be on the dance floor. We are just sorry that we don't have any more daughters to get married!
We were entirely blown away by Rich and the band! Their performance was incredible and every single guest went on and on about how it was the best band they'd ever heard! If you make one thing a priority, it should be hiring this band for your wedding. It was worth every penny! They also played at our ceremony and cocktail hour and it sounded beautiful. Furthermore, Rich was so efficient and responsive to emails during the planning stage - he was one of the few people of our vendors who was more on the ball than we were! Just book them and don't give it a second thought - you will be so glad you did!
Rich Posmontier and his band did an amazing job at our daughter's wedding this past 4th of July. I can't say enough good things about them. Everyone was commenting on how great they were. Thanks for making my daughter and her husband's day so special!
It would take too long to fully explain how great this band is, so I will make this as concise as possible:
- The Rich Posmontier Ensemble is the best wedding band I have ever seen. This sentiment was repeated by all 200 of my wedding guests. Our wedding was a great time for a lot of reasons, but both myself and my wife will always be quick to tell people that the band was what our wedding special and fun. It was worth every penny and I would highly recommend getting the full ensemble if you can afford it.
Rich is the band leader and is serious about quality music. Most wedding bands these days have a relatively generic sound, but Mr. Posmontier is clearly selective about his core of musicians and know how to get a party moving. They know the classics and just as easily rock out to the current pop hits. You can trust him to lead your event so you can enjoy your special day.
This band was wonderful to work with from the beginning of planning until the last song of the night. Rich worked with me in planning everything and was in touch with our venue to make sure that set up and the schedule for the night went smoothly. I felt rest assured that the introductions, toasts, and the songs of the night would all go well. The evening went better than imagined. The songs started and they didn't stop. Guests told me that they couldn't believe how they played one song into the next and sounded just like the radio. The musicians and singers are amazing and they got the guests singing right along with them. The dance floor was full the whole night. The Rich Posmontier Ensemble made our wedding extra special and extra memorable. I highly recommend working with this company.
We had our daughter's wedding a few months ago and it was fantastic. We still have people telling us that Rich's band was not only the best wedding band they have ever heard. The band rocked all night long and the dance floor was packed. We have the entire 10 piece group with the 3 singers and it was worth every penny. Even the catering staff were amazed! When we were planning the wedding, we were told by everyone that two things make the wedding reception: the food and the band. Rich's band far exceeded our expectations.
The Rich Posmontier Ensemble are the best! They were great to work with leading up to the wedding. We were married 5 months ago and our guests are still talking about how great this band is. They kept our guests entertained and on the dance floor the entire night. We couldn't have been happier!
We loved the Rich Posmontier Ensemble! They had an expansive repertoire, were open to learning new songs at our request, and most importantly, they put on a fantastic show the night of the wedding. Seriously, people didn't stop raving for weeks after the wedding about how good our band was. There are so many mediocre bands out there, it was really refreshing to come across Rich's group. We couldn't have been more pleased with them and would recommend to anybody in the Philly area looking for a wedding band.
The Rich Posmontier Ensemble WILL NOT DISSAPOINT! Every single one of our guests was on the dance floor the entire night, including my 92 year old Grandmother and my 93 year old Grandfather! They never stop playing, so there was never a lull during our reception. Rich really knows what he is doing as he was very organized and thorough in preparing for our wedding reception. Sign up for one of their showcases, and bring your dancing shoes because you won't be able to stay in your seat!
If I could give more than 5 stars, I would! The Rich Posmontier Band was incredible! Not only did they keep the party going the whole night, but they are a great value for a 8-10 piece band. Highly recommended!!!
I hired Rich Posmontier Ensemble after hearing a few songs played at a
showcase never even hearing another band. What a find!
Trust me, if you want quality music and your party rockin', hire
Rich! Everyone was raving about the music. It's true, the music
and food make the party. He had the dance floor packed!
Who knew that the dance floor could hold that many guests.
I felt that this band was worth every penny. You won't be disappointed
either.

Rich's band was the BEST!!!!! We didn't stop dancing the entire night!!!!!! My feet still hurt!!!!!
Everyone always says the music makes or breaks your wedding, so we knew this was the most important decision for our reception... and let me tell you, did we make the right one!!! Rich Posmontier Ensemble was the highlight of our party! Our family & friends haven't stopped talking about what an amazing night it was and that our band was "out of this world incredible!" I would recommend this group to anyone, hands down! They did a fantastic job of setting the scene for the party of our dreams!
I first heard Rich Posmontier play at my cousin's wedding, and they were so good we barely looked at other bands. RIch is the consummate proffessional -- I never had a doubt that he would make the day absolutely fabulous. His musical team is nothing short of extraordinary! My guests danced all night long to a mix of music that ranged from my husband's favorite oldies tunes to some Lady Gaga and everything in between. Rich even worked with my family to surprise me with a song that they prepared in four-part harmony (with a 10-piece band as backup!). It was an absolutely magical evening and I was really sorry to say goodbye to Rich at the end of it! He did a fabulous job of giving me one less thing to worry about on my wedding day, and making the party so much fun I'm still getting compliments on it 6 months later. His rendition of "Jewish rock and roll" was particularly memorable, and the photos of all of our friends and family dancing late into the night are a testament to what a fabulous job he did of running the party! Rich was fabulous from start to finish and I highly recommend working with him. You will have a super fun night with Rich leading the charge!!
We loved the Rich Posmontier Band! They played all of our requested songs in very well thought-out sets that flowed seamlessly. Their blend and chemistry as musicians was excellent, and they really kept the party going! I also appreciated that they coordinated and communicated with the kitchen staff of the venue throughout the night so that the guests were up dancing between courses and were seated at appropriate times to keep the evening running fluidly. Professional with questions both via email and phone. Highly recommend this band!
Hands down, best decision we made was to have the Rich Posmontier Ensemble at our wedding. People we're dancing before their salads we're served! It was non-stop fun and all of our guests told us how awesome the band was. They were so accommodating and friendly to work with. They even allowed both the groom and the best man to use some of their equipment for special performances they had planned! A+++
The Rich Posmontier Ensemble sure knows how to entertain a party! All of our guests were so impressed with the entertainment provided by this great band. Everyone kept asking where we found this band and complimenting on how great they were! They play a mix of oldies and new songs. Rich does a great job as the nights' MC! Rich and team were great in the planning part of the wedding, as well. They called to walk us through the timeline and made sure they pronounced the names correctly. Overall I'd highly recommend using this amazing band!!
I would highly recommend Rich Posmontier. They were so easy to work with. My husband and I live out of town and they were very flexible. We received so many compliments after the wedding about this band!!!!
As a professional musician for over Thirty Years, there wasn’t a question in my mind to the decision as to have a live band over a DJ at my daughter’s wedding. There is no substitute for live music plain and simple. The challenge came in finding a band. Being in and out of the Delaware Valley music scene for more than half my life, there is an underground channel in regards to talent … who has it and who doesn’t. The Rich Posmontier Ensemble HAS IT! Just an awesome band! I really can’t say enough!!
Rich has put forth and outstanding idea, welcoming you to a private showcase to preview the bands talents. The band performs a brief set of material ranging from big band to dance to classic rock & roll and everything in between. I was sold after the first number. Featuring not one or two lead vocalist, but Five! I was totally blown away and this was fourteen months before the wedding. Deposit check in the mail the next day … Rich was there every step of the way. Not only with music, but anything related to our needs for a great day! With a song list consisting of hundreds of tunes, song selection became a slight problem (you can only perform so many in the allotted reception time!). Not only did Rich and his talented musicians answer our request for songs not on the list, they even changed the lyrics to one special song for the father daughter dance! When your guests call YOU the next day to say thanks for such a great time, I say ‘thank the band!’ I remember the dinner hour just getting started, salad served, and the dance floor was packed! Oh we are in one hell of a night! THANK YOU RICH!

When planning for our wedding, we knew we wanted to have a band that could keep everyone on the dance floor the entire night! Without even looking at any other bands, we knew the Rich Posmonteir Ensemble was our choice! The first time we heard Rich's band play was about three years ago at my cousins wedding. We had an amazing time and Rich knew how to get the party started! We had non-stop dancing and fun!
When it came to our wedding night, I didn't think it was possible, but the band outplayed themselves! Even throughout dinner, people continued to dance and not eat! When the lights came on at the end of the night, I was a little heartbroken that the night was over, I think Rich could tell so they played one last song! People still keep talking about the band from our wedding.
I would HIGHLY recommend the Rich Posmonteir Ensemble to any bride and groom that want to have a non-stop, AMAZING party!!!
Part of the reason our wedding went off without a hitch is because the band had things moving along beautifully. They are incredibly talented; several times I assumed we were listening to a recording but it turned out to be live. They're that good!
We hired this band after seeing them at 2 weddings of friends, and by even more recommendations from family friends. They play a wide variety of music, ask for your input, and most importantly, they are experts in getting your guests up and dancing, making for a very fun party! They were great!!
I am a former musician with musicians in my family and wanted to have a great band with horns to play my wedding - Rich was prompt in getting back to me and working with me to create a package that would work in my budget. All of the musicians in this band are top notch entertainers! They had everyone at the wedding dancing the entire night! They played a diverse range of music that people of all ages enjoyed. They also learned a Chicago song for us as a special request and totally nailed it! They are extremely professional and I would highly recommend them to anyone in need of a band for a party - look no further - you cannot go wrong with this band!
My husband and I were initially debating about a band or DJ for our July 2011 wedding. After receiving a list of recommended vendors from the country club where we were having our reception, we found Rich's band. After we heard them at their showcase and comparing them to other bands, we knew we had to book them! I did my research on TheKnot.com, WeddingWire, and of course, WeddingChannel! Between the band size, the overall cost and the talent, this band is definitely worth every penny!
We thought that they would be great, but they truly were phenomenal. They even took the time to learn several songs that meant a lot to my husband and myself to make the night even more special. They bring such energy to the dance floor and they get everyone dancing (I mean EVERYONE! Grandparents, great aunts and uncles included!!) within the first few beats of the very first song. We've had so many complements about our reception, starting with the band. We keep getting asked for the band name from our guests to pass on to their friends and family planning weddings in the future! We've been told over and over by our guests that the Rich Posmontier Ensemble was the best band that they have ever seen or heard at a wedding!
So in short, if they are available for your date, BOOK THEM NOW! :) We are so happy we did!
Rich was suggested by a friend who had seen him play at weddings. I live in NY where a band does cost and arm and a leg- and they don't even let you see them play live before booking them! Of course, Rich welcomed us to a wedding in Philly (with the couples approval of course!) and my husband and I drove down and checked them out. It didn't take but 5 minutes to decide this band was it. The dance floor was practically shaking!
From the beginning Rich was so helpful- Its definitely a plus that you get to talk to the bandleader who actually comes to your wedding- and not a party planner.
I told Rich I wanted everyone dancing. That is exactly what happened. EVERYONE told us how great the band was. Music will make your wedding- and the Rich Posmontier Ensemble was a great choice for us!
I truly can't imagine having my wedding without The Rich Posmontier Ensemble. This band is spectacular! Dozens of guests have raved to us on how absolutely wonderful this band was. The dance floor was packed the entire night. People we had never seen dance grooved to the music for the entire night. The Rich Posmontier Ensemble really made the wedding magical for me, my groom, and everyone else in attendance. From the outset, Rich worked with us to develop a perfect playlist...he even learned a few new songs to accommodate our needs. I have no trouble giving this band my highest recommendation and I know our entire guestlist would feel the same way!
The Rich Posmontier Band played at our wedding in June 2010. Booking them was one of the best decisions we made when planning our day! They were wonderful to work with from the start! Most importantly, our guests LOVED them and they helped make our wedding a blast! The jazz quartet played for dinner hour and were just amazing! The songs choices were perfect! After dinner, despite the heat, the dance floor was packed the entire night! We still get raving reviews everytime we talk to someone about our wedding. The band also learned a song for our first dance and we were so pleased with the result....it was just beautiful! I can't wait to go to another wedding they play at!!!!!
Simply stated........YOU CAN'T GET BETTER!!!!! No need to shop around for reception music when you've found this band, but if you do, you'll still come back and hire them.......so save yourself the time......they are a BLAST and will have everyone on their feet doing all the music YOU want to hear, new and oldies with such ENERGY and professionalism that your wedding will be the talk of the town. We couldn't have been happier. My son and his wife were married August 20, 2010 and their reception was FABULOUS...........it ROCKED and Rich Posmontier and his Ensemble were the rocking instrument that kept everyone on their feet and dancing the night away. Made for great video that we'll cherish forever.
We first heard the Rich Posmontier band at a friend's wedding in Philly. We agreed they were the best band we'd ever heard and hoped that one day when we were married, we'd be able to secure them for our special day. We were married 2 years later all the way out East on Long Island and Rich and the band traveled out for our wedding. They were unbelievable and even better (if that's possible) than we remembered. The dance floor was packed and no one wanted to get off, even to eat dinner. The band appeals to all ages. They played a bunch of older tunes, as well as some new hip hop beats and were just amazing. Friend and family continue to compliment us on our band. They learned a few new songs for our big day and they truly made our wedding! We didn't want the music to stop and if I ever have a reason to need a band again, I will be asking for them. I would recommend them in a heart beat! So talented, energetic and thoughtful.
The Rich Posmontier Ensemble performed at our wedding in August of 2008. To this date, we still have friends and family who comment on how much fun they had that evening. The band is extremely energetic, incredibly talented (they learned our wedding song for us) and in tune with what the crowd wants in terms of music. We could not have been happier! We even had family members who historically did not dance get on the dance floor because they were moved by the music. Thank you for an evening we will always cherish!
We used the Rich Posmontier Band for both of our daughter's weddings. They made both weddings memorable.
Rich was great to work with in terms of the planning and the actual event. We definitely will use them again for all future celebrations. They are the best.
My wedding was in July 2010, and the Rich Posmontier band helped to make it a perfect evening! The energy of the band was contagious, and put all of our guests in the mood to dance and party! The Rich Posmontier band had a clear, well practiced sound. Rich played songs that the crowd was really feeling. The band even learned a special song for us to use for our first introduction as husband and wife! I have been asked by two other brides in the last five months for their contact information, and I was more than happy to recommend Rich and his band!
When it came to choosing which band I wanted for my wedding, my choice was very easy: Rich personally came to my house and sat down to talk with my parents and me about his history in the music business and about how we could expect the flow of the day's events to go. Impressed with his professionalism and experience in his industry, we chose Rich immediately for our music vendor. Rich and his ensemble even learned a few songs (including our first dance) that were special to us but not on his list of repertoire..the band learned and played Bruce Springsteen's Born to Run, The Cure's Just like Heaven, and my personal fav, Barbie Girl! All my guests are still raving about the music and amazing party atmosphere even though our wedding was back in July 2010.
