The Beauty of a Band: RTH LIVE!
Imagine having a live concert of all your favorite songs performed at your wedding. That’s exactly what you’ll get when you book RTH LIVE! This 6-piece band includes bass, drums, guitar, keyboards, and not one, but two incredible vocalists! The energy of a live band combined with the diversity of a DJ/MC (provided when you book RTH LIVE!) makes for one exciting, memorable, and one-of-a-kind wedding reception.
Redefining “Band”
When you think of “band” you may think of a group of teens practicing in their garage or a Led Zeppelin cover band. RTH LIVE! breaks all those stereotypes and puts an entirely new image of the word band into your head. They’re a “party band,” which means they cover all the best song from any genre. “People tend to think that a DJ can cover more music than a band. With RTH LIVE!, that couldn’t be farther from the truth!” Stephanie, Marketing Manager of Rock The House Entertainment, says. “Our band covers every single genre. Not only are they constantly learning the most current songs, but they have a diverse ‘throwback’ repertoire than spans decades. They are super talented, flexible musicians that are currently updating their song catalogue based on not only what’s trending, but on specific client needs and requests.” Your favorite radio top charts, classic ballads your parents love, boy band hits from when you were growing up can be mixed into one killer, live concert.
Best of Both Worlds
The Energy of a Live Band
When booking a live band, couples are often worried about having a diverse set list, minimum breaks, or an empty dance floor if your guests don’t like a song. “RTH LIVE! does a phenomenal job blending one song into another. They’re like a live band running as a DJ, in a constant medley.” The Rock The House team will sit down with you to get an idea of the genres and styles of music you like prior to your big day. From there, RTH LIVE! crafts the perfect setlist based on your preferences! Plus, because they have the freedom to move around while they’re singing, they can come out onto the floor and interact with your guests. “On top of being talented musicians, they’re energetic performers. They really put on a memorable show.”
The Diversity of a DJ/MC
When you book the band, you also get a DJ/MC combo. That means even when your performers needs a break, the music never stops. The master of ceremonies will run your evening flawlessly, entertain the crowd, and make sure all formalities are taken care of. Have a song request? “If it’s a popular hit, it’s likely the band already has it mastered. But if not, that’s the beauty of having the DJ there as well. Either way, Rock The House has you covered.”
Avoiding Day-Of Crises
If you already have your venue booked, double check the size of the space to make sure the band will have enough room. Ideally, they need at least 16 feet x 12 feet for the stage and performers, as well as easy access to electricity (four 15-amp circuits usually does it). Check with your venue about these requirements to ensure that there are no complications on your wedding day.
Because RTH LIVE! is connected with talented musicians all over Northeast Ohio, you won’t have to worry about any accidents or illnesses changing your plans at the last minute. “If unforeseen circumstances occurred, we have past members and current fill-ins who are incredible vocalists and ready to perform whenever needed,” Stephanie assures couples. Plus, you always have that DJ/MC duo to fall back on in case of an emergency.
If you want your wedding reception to stand apart from all the rest, a live band is an easy way to do it. With a fun set list, energetic and talented performers, a back-up DJ, and the reliability of the most sought-after entertainment company in Northeast Ohio, it’s no wonder RTH LIVE! was voted ‘Best Band’ by Cleveland Magazine’s and is featured amongst the top bands on the Cleveland Hot List. Still on the fence? Rock The House invites you to a band practice or will put them in touch with someone who has booked the band in the past.
