Standing Room Only Orchestra

ly killed it. I don’t think many of my college friends left the dance floor the entire night. Family and friends called us after the wedding to say they have never seen that many people still on the dance floor at midnight. There was hardly a break between songs - they just kept rolling! Amazing!! In addition to the reception, we used SRO for ceremony music and cocktail hour music. There were multiple options to choose from for both - we went with an acoustic guitar and violin for the ceremony and the jazz trio for the cocktail hour. I would HIGHLY recommend these options!! I distinctly remember hearing the processional song I chose as I walked down the aisle and thinking how beautiful it was. Kara was fantastic to work with throughout the whole process. She was quick to respond to emails and accommodated ALL of our requests! The band learned songs for the ceremony and the reception that we requested, and they performed them perfectly. Many people told us that was the best wedding they have ever been to, and I think SRO was a huge part of that. My parents told the venue manager to recommend SRO to anyone else who gets married there. I've had friends call me over the past few weeks to get the band info so that they can use them of recommend to other friends. I am SOOOOO happy that we chose Standing Room Only!!

essional entertainment for our guest. Kara who is the main contact is not only knowledgeable, but an expert in the wedding and music industry. Kara helped plan our event from day one and was very detail oriented throughout the entire process . She understood our vision and helped that dream become a reality. Standing Room Only handled all the arrangements for sound equipment, coordinated with our caterer, and managed setup and tear-down, so that we were able to truly enjoy our event. On the day of our event her team successfully executed the plan with minimal guidance and offered outstanding entertainment that kept our 170+ guest on the dance floor all evening. Kara and her team are truly professionals and we are so very thankful. April & Jeremy

ss and had great song selections. Adam the DJ was a pleasure to work with!

do they sound fantastic, but easy to work with and read the crowd perfectly. People we on the dance floor ALL night. Can't say enough great things about this band!

SO many compliments on their sound throughout the night and even after the big day. Kara and her team are professional, responsive, talented, and fun. FIVE STARS AND TWO THUMBS UP!

and really nice people too!

toasts!) And then a DJ to support dancing after dinner. Now this is not their traditional offering: Standing Room Only is an amazing BAND in their own right, but the fact that they were able to support our reception's unique needs was INCREDIBLE! Truly amazing talent, great people, very organized, value on the investment we spent. Both Chuck, piano and Pat, DJ were both incredible assets to our evening. We needed a bit of thinking on the fly (as things happen with life things didn't go exactly as planned) and both Chuck and Pat were able to accommodate in above and beyond ways! Example: our First Dance was supposed to be Ella Fitzgerald's Always in the bar/cocktail area played on the DJ equipment...well the guests decided they were ready to sit down to eat and to get them back into the bar would have been a nightmare. AHH !!! Well I asked Chuck if he knew Always and he was on it! Voila Plan B hatched and executed in the moment and no one but us knew that wasn't the plan all along. Pat, played the best uptempo high energy music that really made our party a blast. We loved them and highly recommend them for great value and expert talent!

ance floor was packed the entire night and our guests were constantly coming up to us asking about how we found the band and raving about how much fun they were. Throughout the planning process, SRO was very responsive and kept in close contact with us. Kara was so helpful and always responded quickly when we had questions. She was such a pleasure to work with! In addition to how awesome the band was, we were also very pleased with the price. So worth it! Thank you for making our wedding so fun, SRO!

Their set list was incredibly comprehensive - from Motown to 70's, 80's, or 90's pop to Sinatra and Torme to rap, and current hits. They always had the perfect mix of instrumentation and vocals. They had a guy in the crowd constantly monitoring the sound from each instrument and speaker and constantly adjusting the mix wirelessly. Not too loud, just perfect sound. Upbeat, easy to work with. The orchestra package included three brass (a must!) and the trio's music during the dinner was perfect - a bass, a guitar, and a fantastic saxophonist. Would hire them again in a heartbeat! Our kids were so happy.

ng. We have contemplated for a while between DJ and a band (because of the cost), but decided on the band at the end and we don’t regret it for a minute, it was worth every dollar we spend! Everyone told us how amazing they were and they kept the dance floor full all night. They are very accommodating too, they let our friend use their PA for a first dance song and welcomed any special requests we had with no issues. Do not hesitate to hire them, it will be the best decision you make!

very classy and perfect for cocktail hour! They also sang all of the songs that we requested from their playlist, and put them in an order that transitioned really well. Mike and the band also kept all aspects of the event on time, and did an awesome job with all of the announcements. Mike also went over all name pronunciations in advance, and it showed during the reception! We had so many guests comment during and after the event on how impressed they were by the band. We really cannot thank Standing Room enough for making our reception a great experience!

of bands! Mike was responsive, professional, and flexible in working with our venue, our budget, and our timeline for the night. They learned a new song for our first dance, and they killed it. It was exactly what we wanted it to be! We also loved their easy online form that lists everything they play and lets you request specific songs, specify ones to avoid, and give general notes about what you’re looking for. However, we were a little disappointed with some of their song choices. If you’re like us, you might want to request going over the set list in advance with them. All that being said, we were still thrilled with Standing Room Only, and we would highly recommend them to anyone!

ibly wrong but it didn't - the reviews are not here to lead you astray - they were a fantastic wedding band. The dance floor was packed all night (which is the only thing that my husband and I wanted. Literally -the only piece of the party we cared about). At one point, several people came up to me to tell me that they thought they were lip-synching because THAT'S how good they sounded. If you're reading this review and trying to decide just stop right now and make SRO your choice. You won't regret it.

band is good when you're on the dance floor and you forget there's a band playing because it sounds like so much like the actual artist. We had so many guests telling us that it was the most fun wedding they'd been to in a long long time. I have to give most of the credit for that to SRO. Obviously not all, my wife and I are pretty fun... They really know how to keep the party going and how to work a room. All our aunts and uncles and even our grandma's were on the dance floor at one point. That's pretty impressive. The picture on their website is not a fluke, if you hire this band the dance floor will be packed all night. I'm sure we could have gotten a band for less money but I couldn't be happier with the job they did. They deserve every star I gave them in this review. The contact process was easy and they got back to us right away. There were some songs that we wanted them to play that weren't on their song list, that was no problem they learned them before the wedding. Very professional and their value, in my opinion, is through the roof. I highly recommend Standing Room Only, and you will too if you hire them. Thanks again for making our day that much better guys, really do appreciate everything. Dave and Rachel

eat energy. All of our guests are still telling us how amazing the band was.

n to a few weddings I realize what a huge different a great band can make. The dance floor was packed the whole night - we had to actually kick people out at the end! They were great about communicating with us throughout the planning, learning a few songs that we cared about, putting together a set list based on what we did and didn't want played, and giving us recommendations when we weren't sure. They also hosted the reception - introducing speeches, toasts, etc., and did a great job. All in all, I just could not recommend them more highly!

ide variety of music-- something for everyone! Seriously one of the best bands I've ever heard! Worth every penny!

ance floor the whole night. I was worried we were going to have to take my cousin out on a stretcher from exhaustion (he refused to leave the dance floor.) I forgot to tell them that I needed their help getting a string quartet for my ceremony. Sure enough Mike pulled through 2 weeks before and locked someone in for us. A friend of the family's company is going to use them for future corporate events. I wish we had added an extra hour onto our package just so I could keep dancing. (Someone might have had to carry me out of there!!) Hire them - you'd be a fool not to.
