Kushner Entertainment

?Sound Nation was a wonderful band for our wedding, and we received numerous comments and compliments from our guests. I was especially impressed by them not only for their range of music they were able to perform, but also their willingness to play so many songs that we requested before hand. They were able to perform so many of the songs and music that we really wanted to hear, and were even willing to learn a song or two for our special dances with our parents. I requested to hear a specific Jimmy Buffett song for the dance with my mother, and they delivered, and it was such a special moment. They also played a wide range of variety - from LMFAO and Bruno Mars, to Michael Jackson and Taylor Swift, to Hank Williams Jr and Zac Brown Band. They were an amazing live band, worked well together, played more songs than I thought they would, and as I mentioned, were very gracious to play so many requests that we had. If we were to hire a live band for another event, we would absolutely ask Sound Nation to join us. More...

There are not enough positive comments that could be said about the Andy Kushner team and Rhythm6, and how the team helped make our day so special. The coordination for the event ahead of time was seamless and the actual event blew us, and our guests, away -- honestly, our guests are still talking about how amazing Rhythm6 was! The band was fun to work with, receptive to all types of new ideas (between new songs and our entrance to the main ballroom) and the energy in the room from the moment they stepped on the stage until the last song was more than we could have imagined or hoped for.

We loved working with Andy Kushner entertainment and Rhythm6! From my first call with Rebecca to scouting out Rhythm6 during a rehearsal to dancing the ENTIRE night away during our wedding, we were in the best of hands throughout the process. During our first call, Rebecca took 30 minutes to learn more about mine & my husband's relationship to determine which band she thought reflected our personalities. She also met us a few weeks before the wedding to discuss our vision for the party and provided recommendations, which were greatly appreciated. Emails and phone calls were always returned within 24 hours by the AK team. And lastly, we LOVED the band's song choices, skills, and overall energy! Our guests also loved the band as much as we did! We thoroughly enjoyed working with the entire Andy Kushner team and wish we could party with the band every weekend!! More...

I wanted to pass along a huge thank you to the Rhythm Six band members and Natalie. The team was fantastic!

We will definitely consider Rhythm Six again should we need a band for a future engagement.Thanks again! More...

Sound Connection was a dream. The band ROCKED the house. Guests of all ages (25-85) were on the dance floor the entire night.

Can’t say enough about the energy Rhythm6 brought to the party. They challenged the crowd to match their intensity from the very first song and didn’t slow down until the venue kicked them out. Very flexible playlist that allowed for a perfect blend of new era hits and older crowd pleasers!

The only negative angle is that every future wedding band we hear will always be compared back to the incredible standard that Rhythm6 set. More...

PopCulture Strings provided a brilliant background for our cocktail hour. The quartet had a flawless performance and provided an elegant setting for the start of our big night. Sound Connection was AMAZING. If your objective is to hire the best wedding band in the Washington D.C. area, then look no further. All the musicians were absolutely incredible and all the guests raved about their performance. The band was very interactive with the crowd and promoted a high level of energy throughout the night. If we had one complaint it was that the photo booth in the back of the room was underutilized because all of our guests wanted to stay on the dance floor! DJ Noel provided an incredible after hours that perfectly matched our request for a Las Vegas Club style performance. The set was filled with amazing dance music that kept all of our guests partying until our 1:00am send off. More...

Andy Kushner and the Sound Nation group were absolutely fantastic. Andy was extremely accommodating assisting us several times with adjusting timelines for the band's performance both during cocktail hour and the reception, and working with us throughout the booking process. Right from the start, the band set the tone of the wedding with its amazing vocalist, great sound, and lots of energy. They were also very gracious in allowing me and a couple of friends perform a bit of karaoke as well as graciously allowing my cousin on stage to sing a vocal selection. Our guests all commented on how great the whole band was, and how much fun they had dancing to the great variety of music they played. They were the true force behind the fun of the evening. Our thanks to all for making it such a memorable event for all of us that evening. We are grateful for everyone who took part in making the wedding such a special event. More...

Everyone, regardless of age, commented that the band was terrific. First, the band came and checked out the venue almost a year in advance to understand the acoustics and space. Based on both, they made immediate recommendations as to the number of pieces (fewer than I hoped due to acoustics) and staging (no raised platform required). Throughout the process, Rebecca was timely in her responses and very very helpful. We heard the band play at another wedding and were wowed - we were wowed again. THEY MADE THE PARTY! More...

Sound Nation and Pop Strings played at our wedding and they were both AMAZING! The band was out of this world great, the dance floor was jam packed all night.

On the day of the wedding, Sound Nation was able to get every single one of our wedding guests on the dance floor. They play a wide variety of song selections (both the oldies and the newer hits).

PopCulture Strings and DJ Mark played at my wedding this summer. The strings were SUCH a cool, different sound. They were very flexible and worked seamlessly with Mark to ensure music was always playing.

DJ Mark was a great DJ. He was pretty much in the background, which was what we wanted. He had brought some things (without us asking!) to entertain our flower girls/ring bearers, which were a big hit with both kids and adults!

Marquise surpassed even our highest expectations. They were amazing from the very beginning - very accessible and easy to work with. Our conversation with the band leader, Tim, a few months before the wedding was awesome and he really seemed to care about our event. We hadn't heard Marquise in person before so really weren't sure what to expect but they were even better than what we had hoped for! Their playlist was amazing and their musical and vocal abilities were top notch. The dance floor was packed literally from the first note played until the very last song (encore!) at the end of the night. They were super engaging the whole time. They also learned a song at our request and totally nailed it, not to mention that they remembered all the little personal details we had discussed as well. I heard multiple times throughout the night and in the days after from our friends and family that Marquise was "awesome," "amazing," the "best wedding band ever." One friend even told me that she tried to leave a little on the earlier side because she had a 6AM flight the next morning but didn't even make it out of the lobby because she "heard them start playing Journey and came back in." I really can't say enough about Marquise. They were everything we hoped for and more and really helped make our wedding the best night ever. I would highly recommend them to anyone!! More...

Marquise is THE BEST BAND EVER! I knew I wanted them to play at our wedding reception because they were so incredible at my sister's wedding in 2009. We were fortunate that they were available for our July 2016 wedding. They performed with such a contagious fun energy that once the dancing started our dance floor was packed the entire night. Exactly what we wanted! In the days and weeks following our wedding we had so many of our guests tell us that Marquise was the best band they had ever heard at a wedding reception. We even had a family friend from California ask for their business card. Not only was the band incredible, but Rebecca with Andy Kushner events was such a delight to work with in the months and weeks leading up to our big day. I must also add that Marquise will be playing at my other sister's wedding in just a couple weeks!! More...

We booked SoundNation for our wedding, and they were simply AMAZING. It was a pleasure working with AKE in preparing for our special day, and the Director of Operations, Jennifer Bristow, was very professional and responsive to any questions we had. The band director, Robert Sullivan, was likewise outstanding. They played outdoors on a hot June evening, and kept the crowd dancing the entire night. What's more, they listened carefully to our musical tastes, and made sure that all of our guests were entertained. They learned a new song for our first dance (it was a mash-up, so not the easiest), and the female lead absolutely nailed it -- not an easy thing to own a Beyonce medley as fabulously as she did! I have heard from countless guests how MUCH they LOVED the band, and we have AKE and SoundNation to thank for that. Best day of my life, and so glad they were a part of it! More...

I used the band SoundNation through Andy Kushner for my wedding and I cannot write enough great things about the band. I was nervous at first since I chose them by watching online videos and reading reviews and not by personal experience. Some of the other bands were fantastic but way out of my price range. They were able to learn our first dance and the father-daughter dance just like they had promised. Throughout the wedding, I had guests coming up to me asking how I found them and telling me how wonderful they were. I even had guests going up to them asking for business cards. Everyone both young and old were up and dancing. They played a mix of classic oldies to todays top 40 songs. There was also a great balance between slow dancing and party songs.

The only reason I did not give 5 stars has nothing to do with the band. I wish I had been contacted a month prior to the wedding instead of 2 weeks to figure out the logistics/details of everything. Since I had never been married, I did not know the typical run down and am not able to use my phone during the day so it was very difficult and stressful to get things figured out. Luckily it was all taken care of and the end result was better than what I expected. More...
