Our guests absolutely loved him! Our shuttle bus was overflowing at the end of the night because so many people stayed. We loved how the songs flowed and how he incorporated our song preferences. The sound system was amazing too! He was able to make 3 hours of dancing never feel boring or repetitive. Different moments were introduced to keep the night fresh!

“I found Mike via thumbtack & although on there it stated he was booked on my wedding date I thought I’d still reach out to him. I’m so happy I did because he put me in touch with our dj, thankyouteddy and he did an awesome job djing for our wedding! Mike was very informative and gave me plenty of information. He also has you do a questionnaire to help narrow down the right dj for you based off your music preferences. Mike will reached out periodically to follow up & also puts you in touch with the dj the week of the wedding to go over details. Teddy arrived on time and kept everyone on our toes throughout the night. The only thing I will say, is if you’re doing bridal party introductions it’s best to rehearse it if possible. Or give an exact time of the song for your dj to play when each couple comes out.”

Nostalgia Rush

·Ratings include Zola and Google reviews
  • DJ
  • Starts at $4,500
  • Serves Illinois City, IL

After I finished my PhD in genetics and molecular biology at Yale, I left behind a career as a research scientist to pursue a lifelong dream as a professional sax player. While the pandemic was a roadblock to many musicians, I managed to gain momentum as a street performer when I began hosting outdoor concerts for the local entertainment-deprived graduate students. A few of my fellow graduates asked me to perform at their weddings, and even DJ, so I spent the next two years honing my skills and constructing a very 80's synthwave-style brand and equipment to match the vibe.

“Nostalgia rush just DJ'ed our friends' wedding in Eagle River and we must say ... the reception dance floor was electric from start to finish. We didn't want to leave!! Such a highlight of the day.”

“When it comes to Mike and Traci and their band Good Clean Fun Band, there is simply no better option. Mike and Traci are absolutely incredible, dedicated, loving and beyond talented. They gave us the performance of a lifetime at our wedding, one our guests are still talking about to this day! From the very beginning, Mike and Traci were the first vendors I hand picked for our wedding. We were dedicated to choosing a band and the hunt began very early in the planning process! We picked them due to their incredibly kind nature, beyond impressive soundbites, and RAVE reviews we are so honored to be able to now be apart of! The band offers an extensive song list offering and are even willing to learn songs for their couples and perform them like they are PROs!!!! Mike and Traci became our family when we started working with them and carried the fun of our wedding on their backs with grace. They made the night the night it was! They even let me join them for a song with my amateur harmonica skills and made me feel like a million bucks doing it! The ease of working with them goes a very long way in planning a wedding and they made it so easy. From all the phone calls, questions, and prompt responses they guided the musical side of planning with such ease. Our dance floor was packed the ENTIRE night. There was not a single moment they did not have us dancing. I am so happy we worked with Good Clean Fun Band to the point I’m now trying to figure out a way to get them back out to perform again for us! They are my favorite vendors, favorite people, and will always hold a special place in our hearts. We love you to the moon and back, Mike and Traci! Love, Your newest and biggest fans; the Farleys!”

I initially rented the 12x12 but then needed to make it larger at the very last minute because it looked so small with how our tables were set up, the DSM Dance Party team came back on the day of my wedding to increase it to 15 x 15 which made SUCH a big difference!!!

“We always ranked the music as the number one priority for our wedding, and we’re so glad we entrusted David Rothstein Band to bring our party to life. Planning a wedding during Covid had many challenges, including not being able to see the band live, but thankfully, David has so many live videos available where we can see the entertainment his band delivers day in and day out. Those videos, along with David’s passion for his work, made us confident to chose his team to make our day special. For our wedding, we had a classical duo during the ceremony, a pianist during cocktail hour, a jazz trio during dinner, and an incomparable 10 piece orchestra to dance the night away. From the first note to the final encore, we were BLOWN AWAY with the talent and energy that the band brought. We had a few special requests for the night - from a unique arrangement for our ceremony processional to a mashup of New York songs during the reception - and David’s team was beyond accommodating. We had dancing for 3 hours straight and not once did anyone leave the floor - the band was able to feel the energy in the room and chose the right song for the moment. I stumbled across the ingoing setlist after the party and was actually surprised to see that the band didn’t even stick to the songs they had picked - a sign that they adjusted based on what the crowd was loving. It’s been nearly a month since the big day and people keep telling us how amazing the music was, and we can’t stop watching the many videos David took from the night, reliving the magic that his band created. If you’re thinking about which band to have for your wedding, look no further than the David Rothstein Band - you won’t be disappointed!!”
