Rich Posmontier Ensemble

e 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!!

l 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

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.

te 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!

ute. 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!

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.

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!

f 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.

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!

ings 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!

he dance floor.

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!!!

y 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!

nomenal 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!!

nough great things. I'd hire them again in a minute!!

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!

s 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!

until the end. I have no doubt everyone there would highly recommend them.

m. 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!

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.

ned 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!

usicians. 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

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!!

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!

me 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.

s are still telling me how awesome the band was. Great range, wonderful professionalism, and awesome MC-ing to boot. 5 stars without a doubt

ich 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.

icians. 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!

g 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!

ed 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!

ave 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!

ls 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.

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.

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.]

ther 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.

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.

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

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!

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

r 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!

e 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!

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!!
