• RSVP were very polite. They arrived one hour before the party to set up. They let me finish my set-up before talking with me. Their music was outstanding, appropriate, and with excellent choices for the attendees and the venue. Not only that, they played almost every song I recommended in the appropriate order, including the first dance song. For our toast they were very accommodating, We received many compliments as did the band...Even the caterer complimented them! We would definitely hire them again, as well as recommend them. -- Lydia K, Ossining, NY, 5/20/2012
• What a phenomenal group!! I can not praise this group enough for doing such a fabulous job! Everyone at our wedding LOVED them! Their ability to play all styles was incredible. They entertained us with wonderful jazz and Sinatra style music for dinner then got everyone up and dancing the rest of the night. Not only are they truly a very talented group, they are so sweet and so easy to work with. Any questions or requests I emailed them were immediately responded to. There is no song that they can not play. Thanks so much Joaquin, Scott, Randi, and Lee for giving us the most memorable evening full of such wonderful music! -Ashley & Matthijs Veldhuyzen -- Ashley D, Washingtonville, NY, 7/12/2011
• I would go see RSVP in concert, they are that talented and just sheer fun. They go way beyond "wedding band." I was impressed that every musician contributed something unique and dynamic to the set. They rolled out hit after hit, barely stopping to take a breath, extremely professional and entertaining. They had the entire crowd dancing, and all I have heard the in the weeks since the event is "how fantastic the band was." My wedding wouldn't have been the same without them--I give my highest recommendation possible and hope to invite them to play for events in the future! -- Carrie T, Clinton, NY, 6/11/2011
• We hired the dynamic, multi-talented RSVP (7 pieces) for our wedding and they were INCREDIBLE. From the first moment we heard them we were completely blown away and it only got better from there!!! They brought so much energy to our event that even guests who NEVER dance could not stop moving! They were receptive to our suggestions and honored all our requests, including learning several new songs for us (as though their list wasn't already extensive!). My father even said their version of "Footloose" was better than the original! RSVP are professional, reliable, enthusiastic, STELLAR musicians... it was our dream wedding and you guys ROCK - THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! -- Jonathan S, Terryville, CT, 7/31/2010
• I hired RSVP for my wedding reception at West Point based on positive reviews on this site, and I am so glad I did! They were available to contact beforehand, and flexible to changes in schedule during the event- they learned a first dance song, and also let my sister who is a guitarist play several songs when she asked to that night. They somehow knew exactly what to play and what we wanted to hear! Everyone was on their feet the whole night, and we ended up having to extend for a half hour cause no one wanted to stop dancing! Guests have told us they have never had so much fun at a wedding! Respectful of the military venue also. Recommend highly!! -- Marielle B, West Point, NY, 12/17/2011
• A great band. They were a big hit at the wedding and very flexible. Everyone enjoyed the band so much we extended the reception an additional hour with the support of RSVP. The music was great! I would recommend this band to anyone. -- Patrick G, Central Valley, NY, 8/7/2010
• RSVP was awesome! I am still receiving compliments on them. They learned several new songs for us, and went along with all of our requests. Choosing RSVP for our wedding was the best choice we made. I hope I will have an opportunity to call on them again in the future. -- Sue P, Lafayette, NY, 6/7/2009
• RSVP was all that we could have asked for in a wedding band! From start to finish, they put my worries at ease after a bad experience with a previous band. They were flexible to accommodate both a song that we wanted them to learn and our own personal requests from their play list as well. They kept the dance floor full all night by choosing the right songs and playing them WELL. They also brought lighting which really increased the party atmosphere. Thank you, RSVP for being such a great band! Feel free to put me in charge with any potential clients as a reference! -- Carissa L, New York, NY, 10/24/2009
• I really enjoyed their performance. They learned 3 songs for us and sounded great. Everyone was up and dancing and had a great time. I would definitely recommend them to anyone! -- Kathleen K, Hawley, PA, 9/4/2011
• I first heard RSVP play at my friend's 50th birthday party. They were terrific. We hired them to play this past weekend at the Hope's Door (formerly Northern Westchester Shelter) benefit at Coveleigh Club. Outstanding in every way--talent, totally accommodating to our shifting schedule, great + appropriate to theme play list, --just an all around terrific group. Have suggested them to others who also were very happy. -- Barbara S, Mamaroneck, NY, 4/30/2010
• We had a wonderful party and it was due on large part to the band. We also had some entertainment during dinner and they coordinated with them beautifully. We can't say enough for how easy and pleasant RSVP was to work with. Our guests loved them. We would definitely use RSVP again for a party or event. -- Susan C, Holyoke, MA, 10/1/2011
• RSVP were fantastic! They played a wonderful mix of music that appealed to the varying ages of my guests. They were on time, played extremely well and were true professionals. They even allowed me to sit in and play a couple of songs on the drums with them (and I am a real novice!). The guests asked me repeatedly where I found these guys b/c they were so good. A+ for RSVP. -- Gina G, Cortlandt Manor, NY, 8/20/2011
• This band was exactly what we wanted for our party. They were professional and easy going. Perfect! -- Donna M, Madison, CT, 7/5/2010
• Band was great and very accomodating. We had a clear idea of the type of music we wanted, and they played it. Everyone was up, dancing and singing and having a very good time. Temperature outside was HOT and the band played on! Totally enjoyed the evening. We have a lot of friends that are also professional musicians--and they enjoyed the band as well. A definite recommendation. Thanks guys! -- Randi S, Irvington, NY, 7/23/2011
• This party was for my 50th birthday and RSVP was not the band I originally had hired for my party. The lead singer in my previously booked band suffered a medical emergency just days before my party and had to cancel. I found RSVP through this site but was a little nervous because they were located more than 1 1/2 hrs. from my town. There was constant communication between me and Joaquin every day before my party and all the requests I made were met with complete professionalism. They arrived when they said they would, played songs from all musical eras from the 50's on up to the present time. They were awesome and truly made my party a success. I would rehire! -- Diana` G, Coram, NY, 8/9/2008
• My brother and I hired them for a surprise anniversary party for our parents. They were perfect for the party! We couldn't have asked for anything more. -- Alexandra H, Purchase, NY, 6/27/2008
• Fantastic Band. They were there on time and totally proffesional through out, and leading up to the wedding they were in contact with me regarding songs e.t.c. We both thank you so much for making it a memorable evening and playing some great music...even a few irish songs aswell.Brilliant! Thanks again!!! Richard & Aisling (Ireland) -- Richard L, Sayville, NY, 6/19/2008
• The band was really nice, all members are extremely talented musicians and I highly recommend them. -- Nick R, Hoboken, NJ, 10/26/2007
• Great party band with excellent range and flexibility. The dance floor was packed the entire evening - a true sign of a terrific party! Thanks so much! -- Mary Winn S, Newburgh, NY, 10/13/2007
• I think all you can say is that everyone of my friends said the band was great! They learned the few songs I asked them to play. They were able to change up the sets in the middle of the wedding to accomodate me. Nothing but thumbs up from me. -- Troy C, Pound Ridge, NY, 10/6/2007
• The band was wonderful. All of them are delightful people with loads of talent. The music was terrific and it was a real pleasure having them. The setup was seamless. They are extremely versatile. We didn't want them to leave!! -- Judy F, Newtown, CT, 9/8/2007
• We just had our daughter's confirmation party this weekend. RSVP had a great selection of music in their sets. We did not have a dancing crowd but the music made everyone happy and our crowd felt like dancing. I found RSVP on the gigmasters site and the reviews they received were absolutely true. What a great resource and a great band. RSVP was very accomodating and easy to work with. I asked them to sing a song to my daughter and they did not know it but learned it prior to the event. You can't ask for more than that. Would absolutely use them again and looking forward to the next event. Family from Rye, NY -- Venus M, Rye, NY, 5/12/2007
• outstanding! The band was amazing! They were the perfect fit for my party. My friends were all singing and dancing in their seats and throughout the room.They played the perfect mix of songs for the vibe in the room. I am completely satisfied with their performance and would absolutely use them again and highly recommend them to all!! -- Susan D, Great Neck, NY, 5/4/2007
• RSVP was very pleasant to work with. More importantly, they were talented musicians and they sounded great! Super dance music, great vocals and absolutely terrific performance for my husbands birthday party. RSVP was so good, and the dancing was so much fun we paid them to stay and play longer. My teenage/youngadult children loved them- and they know alot more about music then me. . I will definitely recommend them--in fact I already have! -- Judy V, Lords Valley, PA, 4/14/2007
• we thought u guys were great thank u so much i will recommend u guys to all of my friends everyone thought u were great we had lots of fun thank u hope to see u at other parties Debbie -- Debbie M, Brooklyn, NY, 9/9/2006
• A very highly talented band that really has a love for the music. Their range is truely amazing and I would recommend them highly. They took the time to learn several new songs for our event and made it a very personal experience that we will always remember! -- Bob H, Mount Kisco, NY, 6/23/2006
• Wonderful! Very talented band that kept our guests dancing all night. Thank you. -- Sharon S, Hague, NY, 7/5/2008
• RSVP was a lot of fun. They entertained the crowd without taking over the party. They even agreed to stay for an extra hour since we were enjoying them so much. Would definitely have them again. -- Donna B, Brewster, NY, 5/24/2008
• RSVP was easy to work with, very accomodating and professional. They sounded great and kept everyone dancing and partying throughout the evening with their excellent selection of songs and their outstanding performance. They learned two new songs that we requested they perform. We made the right choice in picking RSVP to provide music for our party. We think they did a great job (and from the many comments we received, we know that our guests thought so too). -- Ken G, Mount Kisco, NY, 2/10/2007
