Richard Brown and his band were AMAZING to work with. Our wedding was a reflection of our style, and with that we wanted mostly music from the 1940's through the 1960's. We got everything we asked for and more. Richard and his band provided the string quartet for our ceremony, a pianist during cocktail hour, and a full band during the reception. Every selection was incredible. They also accommodated a few customization requests we made, and worked with our cantor to accompany him during the ceremony. 100/100, cannot recommend them enough. Everyone was on the dance floor, and could not stop gushing about the band!

Richard Brown and his Orchestra and Band were sensational at our Wedding and Reception. My bride and I could not be more pleased in every way. We wanted many of our favorite love songs from the 60s, 70s, and 80s and Richard actually arranged them for his band and for his orchestra in record time and to our heart's content. He even met our hectic schedule in coordinating band practices. He also brought in a concert Harpist for our pre-reception event and coordinated everything very well. I strongly recommend Richard Brown Orchestra for your wedding and Reception. He is easy to work with and his pricing is reasonable.

I have been booking talent with Richard Brown for 20 years! It doesn't matter if it is a solo pianist, guitarist, harpist or a full Orchestra...it is always perfection! His talented musicians, under his leadership, have accompanied Oleta Adams, Diane Schuur, Al Jarreau and even Chaka Khan for my events. Richard just gets the job done! He is my first call for talent....ALWAYS!

Richard Brown Orchestra plays at the Super Club events at the Annie Café and Bar. They are great, very entertaining, professional and an absolute pleasure to work with.
The band always delivers an Absolutely fantastic performance for our guests, with a lot of energy and dancing from the vocalists, It doesn't feel like an old routine, it felt fresh every time and they always leaned into the audience vibes.

Richard was absolutely wonderful to work with! His team performed the music for our ceremony and I’m so glad we decided to do live music. We wanted to do something similar to the wedding in Love Actually when the bride and groom walk out to Love is All You Need. He helped organize and put it all together and it turned out so beautiful! It was a wonderful surprise for all of our guests and everyone enjoyed it!

Richard Brown worked with us every step of the way to make our ceremony unique and memorable. We requested he learn several new songs, as we wanted pretty unusual music for our ceremony. It came out perfectly. He and his group learned each song, and even showed up at our wedding rehearsal to practice. Have you ever heard of such a thing? They are amazing!

They went above and beyond the call of duty, playing as a jazz quartet to welcome our guests outside, to learning a song for my dance with my father, to leading a procession to escort us out at the end of the reception.
