45 Riots

The entertainment provided by 45riots at our open house on November 11th at LOFT39 was phenomenal! Their live music and band created an electric, unforgettable atmosphere that kept the energy high all night. They are consummate professionals and musicians. We love having them as preferred vendors for our clients at LOFT39 and would recommend them over and over and over again for incredible live music entertainment.

We chose 45 Riots for our wedding because we loved their live performance options, and they exceeded all of our expectations. We went with a hybrid package: live musicians for our ceremony and cocktail hour, followed by a DJ for the reception. Everyone we worked with was masterful at their craft and incredibly professional. The musicians beautifully set the perfect atmosphere for both the ceremony and cocktail hour. At the reception, our DJ, David, fully captured our vision, accommodated our specific song requests, and kept the dance floor lively all night. Throughout the entire planning process, their communication was prompt, clear, and attentive. They also created custom mixes for our special dances, helping our dances come to life perfectly. 45 Riots is truly a top-tier vendor, with exceptional talent across their musicians and DJs. They played a huge part in making our wedding day unforgettable. We can't recommend them enough!

Top Takeaway: Hire them! Hire them! Hire them! Prep Process: We loved working with Manny and Angelica throughout our preparation process – they completely heard us in our likes, dislikes, desires, vibes, must-plays. We needed a band that would play music that spoke to both of our families’ tastes, sensibilities, and cultural reference points, and they more than delivered. They selected the perfect musicians and vocalists to thread the needle on Motown, classic rock, R&B, soul, funk, and “Songbird” to boot. Christine McVie’s spirit was conjured in that ballroom. Investment & Value: “Whatever you’re paying this band, it’s not enough,” my uncle said at our wedding. Every person – Every! Single! Person! – came up to us and gushed about how simply unmatched 45 Riots is. You want a song? Any song? They can do that song. They can do that song better than the original. One of my best friends works in the wedding industry – he did 28 weddings in the 2025 season – and he said 45 Riots is the best band, hands down, he’s ever heard. Friends asked if 45 Riots gave concerts, because we would all go. We would’ve danced for four more hours if they let us. Creative & Execution: You’ve never seen a band song list so long. We could’ve had five wedding receptions with the number of songs we wanted to hear. Tell them what you want, sure, but seriously, trust the professionals! Whatever they come up with will be better than anything you could’ve dreamed of. Our 11-piece band played nonstop, flowing from one song right into the next, running mash-ups that got the crowd going crazy. Have you ever done a Soul Train into a Hora into Boots on the Ground? Well, 45 Riots has, and it ruled. They completely fed off of our crowd – they built synergy with us that ratcheted up throughout the night. Our only regret is that it had to end!

Hiring 45Riots will be the best decision ever. They legitimately made our wedding so special. People were staring like they were at a concert. We must’ve heard “this is the best band I’ve ever heard” or “I feel like I’m at a concert” 9000 times. They’re such a talented group of individuals - every single person. The firm is so easy to work with too!

The best thing about hiring 45 Riots was looking around when the dance floor was open on our wedding night and seeing literally everyone on the dance floor. Nobody sitting at the tables, nobody hanging by the bar, every single person in the room on the dance floor enjoying the band. 45 Riots is on a different level than most wedding bands; they put on a show that stands on its own. We had an 8-piece band which was perfect for our reception of 150 people; 45 Riots also provided a guitarist for our ceremony and pianist for cocktail hour. Every single performer was incredible and we are so so glad we hired them for our wedding. They know how to get a crowd going and they’ll make your event truly something to remember!

45 Riots brought the HEAT to our wedding dance floor. Our 10 piece band smashed it and had our guests on the dance floor all night! I would recommend 45 Riots for any future events! Thank you 45 Riots!

I’m 70 years old and have seen a few bands in my day and this one ROCKED! The three vocalists are phenomenal, and are followed by a kickass bunch of musicians. The horn section blew up the place.

Saw them last night at Kendrick Dam Awesome band
