WOW. WOW. WOW. They were great. SO many people commented on how good they were. Thank you. Great recommendation. The party went off without a hitch, for the most part. 80+ people were there to celebrate John. It was a good evening all around. Thanks again!

The band was absolutely amazing. We got so many compliments on them all evening and the day after. The dance floor was packed the entire night! Big thanks to you for the recommendation and to The Swingin Richards for the amazing performance! Ken went above and beyond emailing back and forth and chatting on the phone with me to make sure that everything was perfect, so please let him know how much we appreciate it!

The Assembly Spring dance was one of the better attended dances we have had. Mary and I loved the band and could dance to everything they played. I would certainly welcome back the Swingin' Richards for future dances. I think all of the members and guests had a most enjoyable time. Thank you again for the time and energy you both contributed to a very fine evening.

We had the best time with the band! Everyone enjoyed their music, and it was nice that they played off of the crowd. They really made it memorable for our wedding reception! They interacted with us (newlyweds) and our guests which made it more fun. We requested some artists for them to play too and they delivered. We look forward to seeing them again!

We had the BEST experience from start to finish working with Swingin' Richards and getting this whole process started! From the start we had been working with Berkley Sickler, and they were so wonderful helping us navigate everything. From giving us options, price points, and advice, we felt confident in our choices. Out of all of our wedding decisions, we knew having live music was the most important thing to us. We took an afternoon to go through multiple band pages, looking and listening to everything until we easily decided. Communication was so easy, and there weren't any issues that we came across. Communicating with Ken was easy, and it was nice to be able to talk things through. From discussing our preferences, requests, working out the schedule and timeline, everything was so easy. Our entire reception people were coming up to us and saying how they felt like they were at a concert and not a wedding. From older family to young friends, compliments and excitement came from everyone. As the bride and groom, we had so much fun dancing and being around our loved ones while also having exciting and fun live music. The band was upbeat and interactive, and we loved every second of the entire night. I can't say enough how great of a time we had, and how amazed our guests were throughout the entire night. Thanks so much again for being there!!

We loved, loved, loved The Swingin’ Richards!!!! They were an amazing band and the way they interacted with the crowd was wonderful! They were so good at letting the wedding party, bride and groom sing, play instruments and join the band. What a great group to have play at a wedding. It really made the night fun! Please pass on my apologies however. They did great without the caffeine though!! Thanks again for your help in lining them up.

It was a fabulous evening. The band played to great reviews. I hope they enjoyed because my group loved them.

It was a pleasure to work with you and to meet you.

These guys were fantastic to work with. They engaged our audience and had everyone rocking like they used to back in the 60s. What a blast. We are looking forward to working with them again!Again, many thanks for making every aspect smooth. I have personally enjoyed working with the booking agency, in particular Elli Schwarz.

I can't tell you enough how much we LOVED The Swingin' Richards!! They were so great to work with from the very beginning. They have a fantastic talent and kept our crowd moving the entire night! Their song selections were perfect for our wedding, and they handled every detail of the announcements, cake cutting, garter toss, etc.! They learned a new song for our first dance, and it was just like listening to the Eagles sing it live. The communication with Ken was always very prompt and accommodating. We will recommend them for years to come!

You guys were outstanding Sunday! The party was a blockbuster and I coin you guys "the weapon of success". All of my friends and family are still talking about the band. They want me to have a 51st birthday party now. You guys have a great sound and Steve as the front man was quite a performer. You guys kept the crowd engaged and delivered pure entertainment. All of you are very talented and gotta be proud leaving parties with the crowd wanting more. I had some guitar buddies at the party who played with bands in their past and were floored with Dustin's guitar playing. He shredded those solos. Now if me and the brother could do the same on the horns that would be cool. Ha ha.Steve, thanks for all the kind words at the end of the event. I will never forget it.This truly was the best birthday bash I was ever part of.We'll get on the write up to the booking agency and rate you guys 10+, A+.. I look forward to future parties with you guys and hope to attend some future gigs around town and say Hi.Thanks again, you guys are the BEST!

Dear John,Just want to let you know that we are beyond happy with the band Swingin' Richard. People went wild dancing and they are exactly what we wanted-more than fabulous. I would recommend them to anybody and all of our guests went wild over them. I especially want to recommend them since there was some confusion among the people we had managing the venue and my husband. My husband didn't and couldn't tell us from where he was (with the groomsmen) that the band had texted him what time they would arrive. I had forgotten their cell phone, so there was no emergency.Our guests went crazy over Swingin' Richards. Everyone danced even after the bride and groom left. They interracted well with all of our guests. Can't thank you enough. Very impressed.

I wanted to shoot you a note as our wedding occurred this past Saturday and the Swingin' Richards performed at the reception. I don't know if I can put into words how incredible these guys were. We had all of our friends there going nuts the entire time and these guys were just phenomenal from the beginning to the end.First, I had sent Ken, the band leader, three songs for our first dance, father-daughter and mother-son dances and they performed them flawlessly. We were so happy with how well they did with those songs.Then, once the party started they were everything we wanted and more! It seemed like they would just go with the flow and genuinely had fun with whatever non-sense we were doing. They even had a bunch of us end the night by singing a Journey song. However, even though myself and the other 10 guys could probably tell you the majority of those lyrics right now, no one in the group could really put it together at that particular moment so the singer gave us his phone with the lyrics pulled up. Ha! They are the best wedding/party band around and I feel like you really couldn't even make a legitimate case that that statement is not true. Certainly the best that I've encountered and I think I've seen quite a few. I'm more than happy to be reference or provide any endorsement that I can for the Swingin' Richards. Our reception could not have been as awesome as it was without them. Hopefully none of the band members decide to retire after that night of insanity. Thanks so much for your help in booking them. They were perfect. Heck, I may go crash the next wedding the perform at!

I just wanted to drop you a line and tell you how ecstatic we were to have Swingin Richards play at our wedding last Saturday. They were extremely accommodating to our dance song requests and overall seem to be good hearted, fun people in general. Did I mentioned they rocked it as well!!! These guys have some serious talent and everyone raved about them. They really read the crowd well and kept people on the dance floor all night. The encore presentation capped it off for us and for people thinking of hiring this band, I would say no question....don't hesitate to book them. You wont be dissapointed. Thanks for your help making our day so special. We'll be sure spread the word about your agency and the Swingin Richards for future events!!!!

Thanks again for helping us put on what people are calling around here the best holiday party in the history of this agency. That might sound a little over the top, but that's the word on the street. Apparently there have been some real stinkers in the past. And thanks for letting me get up and jam with you guys.

I look forward to working with you and the booking agency in the future!

Thank you thank you thank you! You guys were awesome! I think it was definitely fate that brought us together!! I couldn't have been more pleased and have been told over and over again how fun you all were AND what great musicians you guys are. I am sorry that I missed the jazz set in the beginning, I heard that was a really cool set by multiple people. And I know day weddings can be challenging to get people dancing, but I think it worked out well. Ya'll definitely worked it! Jonathan and I particularly loved the rendition of "Sweet Home Texas". Oh, and I liked what you added to the table decorations - we should have thought of that earlier but used Lone Star beer caps instead. . . ;-) If you need one of those 'testimonials' for your website, we would be happy to help you out. Have a great week,

The band far exceeded my expectations. I'm used to the fraternity days when I worked with a larger budget, but Ken and the guys were excellent. I've received lots of praise for picking them. Thanks so much for all your help. You can rest assured I'll be calling again and that I'll be sending more business your way.

I just wanted to say thank you so much for getting the Swingin Richards for us, they were absolutely amazing and "made" the whole reception! The party was strong from 8-12-30 am! Everyone was on the dance floor the entire time, which is what Jay and I wanted!! They were so fun, professional and easy going! They let my husband play a song on their harmonica while they were playing a Johnny Cash song, and then gave him the harmonica as a souvenir, which he loves!! They also let my cousin sing a few songs on the mike. The last song they let my cousin, a bridesmaid and myself sing and it was like a concert...everyone had the time of their lives!!! Anyway, I would recommend them to anyone who wants a memorable night of a lifetime! Everyone was saying how wonderful they were:)

I want you to know how wonderful The Swingin Richards were! They were so flexible and accommodating. The music was AWESOME. They were exactly what I was looking for, and they far exceeded my expectations! They interacted so well with my guests, and they were a blast to have at the wedding!They were open to song requests that were not on their "play list" and played exactly what we asked for. I would invite them to play at another event for me, hands down. If someone asks you for a "band suggestion," I would highly recommend that you suggest The Swingin Richards! Steven has an AMAZING voice and sounds like whoever he is singing! We had planned on playing Louis Armstrong from the iPod for our first dance. He sang the song and everyone thought it was the original track from the iPod! It was perfect!!I could not have asked for better. My fiance and I were so happy with The Swingin Richards, and we hope to work with them again in the future!

You guys were fantastic!! We had such a great time at our wedding - as did all of our guests! The groomsmen want to form their own band after singing Bon Jovi (I think we all can agree that's a terrible idea after hearing them belt out that song!). Nick and I are glad to be a reference for y'all or write a review - just let us know where to send something. I can't believe y'all actually got Nick on stage to play! It may have gone to his head...During our honeymoon, he wanted to be able to play with any band (including the reggae one at our hotel) that happened to be performing. As reluctant as he was to actually get on stage with y'all, he had a ball...and felt like a rockstar! I have never seen my parents rock out to any band as much as they did to y'all. Thanks for the fantastic memories - it couldn't have been any better!
