Incredible band and they make it personal!
We had heard 45 Riots at a few other weddings so we knew of their talent! We had multiple people tell us during and after the wedding that it was the best band they've seen at a wedding. Each version of the songs we all knew were special (enhanced by the horn and rhythm sections, and 3 singers' amazing voices but different styles). In addition to it being some of the most fun live music, we found the experience to be quite personalized. We had specific segments of songs they played for intros, they were able to perform Amy Winehouse's cover of Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow with timing that completely matched our practiced first dance, and they absolutely nailed the final song Crazy In Love (in the style of the live Beyonce version). Cannot say enough amazing things about 45 riots.
10/10 they were fantastic
We loved 45 Riots! Our guests couldn’t stop raving—they were such a hit! The vocals and musicality were outstanding, and they nailed all of our must-plays perfectly. The moment they performed as I walked down the aisle was incredibly special and something I’ll treasure forever. I know there was a lot of coordination behind the scenes, and we couldn’t have done it without the team’s dedication to making our day perfect. The engineers were fantastic, ensuring everything was set for my sisters and I to perform our special number—it went off without a hitch! The ceremony music was phenomenal. They took the time to learn specially orchestrated pieces just for us, making each moment feel truly unique and personal. For the party, they flawlessly performed so many of the songs we had requested, keeping the energy high and the dance floor packed all night long. I’m so grateful to the musicians for their incredible talent and effort—it truly made the day unforgettable. Seriously, 10/10.
Highlight of the whole wedding
We first saw 45R perform at a wedding in 2019 and knew we would need them at our wedding. 5 years later, and they were still perfection. Wildly talented, perfectly professional. They made our wedding a spectacular success. Still sore from dancing the night away!
Incredible Band!
Extremely professional and talented band. My guests couldn't stop raving about them.
