“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!!”

Lucas Alexander Music

  • Solo performer
  • Starts at $900
  • Serves Makanda, IL

My love for music started when I was five years old, writing songs on the family piano. Eventually, I wanted an instrument I could take anywhere, so I picked up the guitar. What started as a hobby turned into something I’ve built my life around. I’ve been performing professionally for over 10 years, including the last five years playing hotels and honky tonks along Nashville’s Broadway. What I love most about weddings is being part of a day that means so much to people. There’s something special about seeing guests come together, hearing everyone sing along, and knowing the music is adding to the moments they’ll remember.

“We could not have asked for a more perfect wedding singer for our Clearwater beach wedding ceremony, and that is exactly what Luke embodied. From the very beginning, he was incredibly accommodating, professional, and genuinely invested in bringing our vision to life. He was more than willing to travel for our special day, which meant so much to us, and he went above and beyond to truly understand the exact atmosphere we wanted to create. What stood out most was his dedication to mastering the specific songs we requested. Each one was performed beautifully and with so much emotion—it felt personal, intentional, and tailored to our love story. His voice, combined with the natural setting of the beach, created an incredibly intimate and unforgettable experience. He has a rare talent for setting the tone and making a moment feel deeply meaningful. Our ceremony felt warm, romantic, and uniquely “us,” largely because of his music. Several of our guests stated that he made the ceremony feel that much more magical. If you are looking for someone who is not only talented but also passionate, flexible, and truly committed to making your day everything you envision, we cannot recommend Luke highly enough.”
