We had so many guests comment on how great you guys were and how much fun they had on the dance floor. You were beyond excellent and we are so thankful for everything you did to make the day so special for us. We wanted a high energy band with a dedicated horn section that had the versatility to play music from several different decades and genres.

Hiring Retrospect for our Wedding Band was one of our best decisions for our wedding! The dancing and the music was everyones favorite part of the wedding and we owe all of that to Retrospect! They played the music that I wanted but also knew exactly what songs to play at the right times to make sure all wedding guests had a blast! There are few things that Larry (the band leader) & the band did that I felt they went above and beyond the amazing music they played! First, Larry offered to meet me at my venue when I first reached out to hire them to make sure he had all the right equipment for the wedding day!
That made me feel super confident that they would be able to deliver everything we wanted, which they did deliver! And then he also took us out to lunch a month before the wedding to review in person the entire day and make sure we were on the same page about every single detail! Second, the band learned extra songs for special dances at our wedding that were not on their list of songs (which is HUNDREDS of songs)!
I was so appreciative that they were more than happy to learn those songs and fulfill the exact vision we had for each in particular special dance. Then third, did I mention the AMAZING music! And so much fun! During a few of the songs, the band comes out to the crowd and interacts with us and our guests. it was a true highlight of the entire night! If you want to dance to the best music and truly make the reception an experience to remember I would highly suggest hiring Retrospect for your Wedding Band!

I've been following Retrospect for years. Over the course of that time I've seen them entertain at private parties, public events and even a night club or two and Retrospect has always put on a fantastic performance. They are a first class band that is well rehearsed, plays a wide array of music and comes ready to give 100%. They entertained for a charity gathering in a local park for me and the comments I received were all positive, they loved the music. Retrospect works with you and plans the music to fit the event and the venue.
I once saw them play in a mid-sized restaurant, yes, all nine of them, and people were amazed they could still hold a conversation while the band played. The music will sound very nearly like the songs you heard on the radio. If you are looking for a great band for your wedding, private party or special event, I highly recommend Retrospect. Gary

This band is GREAT. We hired them to play our wedding and we could not have been happier. They are easy to work with, flexible, put on a great show, sound amazing and keep folks on the dance floor. Total professionals. What more could you ask for? Highly recommend for any event. but only if you want to dance like a maniac and have a great time.
