October 28, 2025Simply the Best-Hire Radio Gatsby!
If I could give Radio Gatsby 10 stars I would! From the very first call with Noam, our experience was AMAZING! The band truly made the wedding. The dance floor was filled the ENTIRE night with all generations dancing together to music from across the decades. The musicians are clearly a tight group of professionals. We were frustrated by the proliferation of marketing companies posing as bands and Radio Gatsby was the exact opposite! We started with a single keyboard for the ceremony and made a special, somewhat unconventional song request for the bride that Noam executed flawlessly. Then, a Radio Gatsby Trio played upbeat, fun music for the cocktail hour, setting the tone for an amazing reception. For the reception, Noam acted as MC, keeping the speeches, cake cutting (they play a special and wonderful selection for the cake cutting that we didn't request but absolutely loved!) and first dances on track. We invited all guests to join the first dance and from that moment on, the dance floor was full. Radio Gatsby has a very extensive song list across genres and played exactly what the bride and groom requested. They were a dream and such an important part of making the wedding a memorable, amazing night!

Hello Jill,
Thank you so much for this glowing review of our band. It was an absolute pleasure working with you in the planning phases, and our musicians also had a blast performing at your celebration. The image of your guests and family filling the dance floor in celebration will remain a highlight for us! Our very best wishes - Noam Eisen & Radio Gatsby Band!

April 28, 2026A band that made our wedding magical!
We booked Radio Gatsby for our wedding and could not be happier with the decision. From start to finish, Noam and the band were an absolute dream to work with — professional, communicative, and genuinely kind every step of the way.
Noam made the planning process so easy. He was responsive, organized, and made us feel completely taken care of. No matter what came up, the band handled it with grace and were clearly ready for anything.
But the real magic happened on the dance floor. Radio Gatsby's repertoire is incredible — they had something for every guest, every moment, and every vibe. Hearing them play Mr. Brightside, Uptown Funk, and their Stevie Wonder sets had everyone on their feet all wedding long. Every song felt like a genuine performance, not background music.
If you're looking for a wedding band that is as easy to work with as they are talented, book Radio Gatsby. We'll be recommending them to every couple we know.

April 17, 2026Best Band Ever, great vibes
Radio Gatsby absolutely crushed it at our wedding and we are still talking about it!
We had a solo pianist for the ceremony, a quartet during cocktail hour, and a full band for dinner and dancing. Every part of the day had its own perfect vibe and they nailed all of it. They played every song we wanted and steered completely clear of the ones we didn’t, which honestly meant so much to us.
Our guests would not stop raving about the music all night and weeks after! We loved every second of it. The dance floor was full from start to finish.
If you are looking for musicians who will genuinely make your day feel like YOUR day, book Radio Gatsby. You will not regret it!

December 15, 2025Stanford University holiday party!
Radio Gatsby exceeded our expectations! We recently hired them for our holiday party and they did an exceptional job. They created a fantastic atmosphere throughout the evening.
The band manager, Noam, was incredibly helpful in determining the right band size for our needs and ensured that every song our team preselected was performed. Their song list is extensive, ranging from oldies to current hits.
The band was professional, fun, and extremely talented. If you’re considering hiring a band for a special occasion, I highly recommend Radio Gatsby. You won’t regret it!

December 10, 2025We Love Radio Gatsby!
My husband and I got married last month and Radio Gatsby played at our wedding at the Mark Hopkins Hotel in San Francisco. To say we had an amazing experience with them would be an understatement! At the wedding, their music was high energy, fun for all ages, and full of so (so!) much soul :) BUT, just as important to us was how easy and pleasant it was working with them before the wedding itself. We worked closely with Noam (the manager) for a month before our wedding and he took so much time with us to iron out all the details of the night. We appreciated so much that Noam was on board with us either being hands off in the music selection process or completely hands on (we were hands on!). Noam spent over 45 minutes with us on our first phone call and from then on out was SO communicative, professional, and kind. He responded to texts, emails, phone calls promptly and never thought our requests were too weird or extravagant. My partner and I handpicked every single song for the night (from their HUGE list of songs they play) and then when we requested a few more they were gracious enough to learn them! In addition to that incredible gesture, I was worried the music might be too loud for our event and Noam assured us that the volume of the music was completely up to us and that on the night of the wedding we could approach them about going louder or softer. That really meant a lot to us to have that kind of control. I really can't stress enough how thoughtful Noam was in helping us curate such a special night in our lives. It felt like working with the kindest friends (who are incredibly musically talented). In addition, on the night of our wedding the MC'ing got a little messed up and so we approached Noam about announcing our speakers giving toasts and Noam agreed on the spot! He took over the MC'ing of our wedding in the moment and saved our wedding from appearing unorganized. We really can't stress enough how fun the music was, how classy the communication beforehand was, or how many people told us they loved the band the next day! 10/10 we would recommend Radio Gatsby!
