    Best wedding ever

    Absolutely thrilled with Ricky and the band! They were fantastic to work with—sweet, caring, and incredibly talented. Our guests couldn't stop raving about them (one even said they thought the DJ was playing Alicia Keys and was surprised to look up and see the band!). The vocals and sound were top-notch, and Ricky went above and beyond, even arranging an extra violinist for our ceremony. Grateful beyond words! 🎶😊

    Love,
    A&B

    Party! Party! Party!

    Ricky and the entire Christien Anthony Group are the definition of elegance and fun. They looked incredible and made the night unforgettable. As a Bride I had sooo many decisions to make but I left the song selections and music choice to the band and it was amazing! If you want to dance/sing the night away then I recommend Christien Anthony Group 10000%

    Amazing live music!

    We loved our musicians from Christien Anthony Music! Ricky and the whole team were super easy to work with from the start and made the whole process super seamless. The musicians we had at our wedding rehearsal dinner event were AMAZING and the guests loved them. Highly recommend for any and all live music needs!

    Christien Anthony brought the energy and had our guests on their feet all night long!

    Ricky and Trisha and the band were very easy to work with, professional, and 100% delivered on the energy for the night. Their song list selection was plenty to choose from and their talent is unmatched! They had our guests singing along and dancing all night and also knew when to adjust their sound to match the events of the reception. Absolutely recommend!

    Amazing!!!

    Christien Anthony was by far one of the things that stood out most about our wedding day!
    They were great! Every song was on point and they made it so much more fun! Very interactive with our guest! And just such a breath of fresh air! Truly the best band I’ve been experienced at a wedding! They got everyone on the dance floor. Our wedding was in June and our family and friends are still talking about how fun and great they were. I would 1000% recommend them to anyone! Ricky is amazing to work with! Very professional and very organized! He answered any question I had even months before our wedding and was super understanding of our even change due to having to change location! If you are looking for a great band with amazing voices and talent BOOK THEM! You won’t regret it!

    Could not be happier with this band!

    They were absolutely awesome.

    We hired Christien Anthony Music for our wedding in Cabo and we could not be happier with the result. We had them play music during our ceremony, our cocktail hour, as well as the reception. Ricky was our primary point of contact (as well as one of the 2 main singers), and he made everything easy and smooth. The band worked with us to ensure we had all the music we wanted for each aspect of the wedding. They even learned our first dance song for us!

    They have an extensive catalog of music to choose from, and they seem to update the more modern songs on it pretty regularly (I saw some pretty new music such as dua lipa, etc. on their current hits list). However, they truly shine on their oldies (at least for us, we're big fans of the old hits). We curated the playlist ahead of time that we wanted them to play, and they executed it to perfection. Our guests (that ranged in age from 2 to 85) are still talking about how amazing they were and how much they enjoyed the music.

    Their energy was phenomenal throughout the evening. Of course we will never forget our wedding day regardless, but the band was the cherry on top that made it something none of our guests will forget as well!

    I could not recommend them more. Seriously, not one negative comment about them. They made the travel arrangements easy, took care of their equipment/what they needed from the planner, and did so much behind the scenes work to make our wedding dream a reality.

    Thank you guys for making our day so special. It was truly amazing!

    Christien Anthony's reply:

    You guys made our FIRST international Wedding a BLAST. We loved every minute of your beautiful wedding! Thank you again for trusting us. Congratulations Neel & Danielle ❤️

    Concert-level performance

    This band is so top notch, we felt like we were at a concert that just happened to be taking place at my daughter's wedding reception. If you like R&B music that get's everyone up and out of their chairs and onto the dance floor, you can't go wrong with Ricky Jaquez and the Christien Anthony musicians.

    The best addition to our wedding!

    My husband and I always talked about having a band play at our wedding. We searched and heard others but there was something special about Christien Anthony Music! We were so amazed by their talent and song selections! They had our guests moving and entertained the whole night. My husband and I love music and requested special songs and Christien Anthony learned them and played all of them!! Having them was the highlight of our special night and we went days and till this day conversations of how much we don’t regret hiring them!

    Christien Anthony's reply:

    Hi Vanessa,
    We absolutely loved celebrating with you two! Thanks for sharing these beautiful pictures! We wish you guys a lifetime of happiness! 💛 -Ricky

    Beyond my expectations!

    We booked them for our wedding based on reviews and Instagram. I could not be more happy with our decision. They brought the party and then some. The vocalists were amazing and Ricky was such high energy and felt the crowd. They provided the BEST time at our wedding. Still getting compliments from our guests and already thinking of another function to have them at. Do not wait to book them! Snatch them up if they're available, you will not be disappointed.

    Best band ever!

    Christien Anthony was the perfect completion to our special day! Having them play and sing the song I walked down to, made the day even more emotional and special! I remember my dad pointed out how good they were while we were walking down the aisle! Ricky and Izzy killed every bit of it and understood exactly what we wanted! A great group to work with, very professional and worth every bit of resources!

    Mother of the Bride

    I hired this band for my daughters wedding. This is by far one of the best decisions that we made for the wedding! Speaking with Ricky from the beginning, he was very professional, personable and an all around great human! From the first person that showed up to set up the sound to the last song sang they were amazing! I highly recommend this group if you want to have an event no one will forget! People are still calling me asking about them. Professional, personable all around outstanding group of musicians and vocalist!

    Best Band Ever

    Christien Anthony Band nailed the outdoor sound quality, Latin songs, kept the energy high. The vocals, keyboard, drums, and oh those horn players got into every song like it was a concert at Petco Park. They were all extremely professional and made the event so interactive with all the guest that people will talk about it forever. Highly recommend and we look forward to seeing and/or working with them again.

    So awesome!

    They were the highlight of the evening! Easy to work with to coordinate everything prior to the big day, and they were very flexible when we had to change the date of our plans due to covid. All of the guests were raving about the music both during the party and after. Extensive music list and they learned one of our requests for the reception! The piano player even went above and beyond to learn one of my father’s piano songs for our walk down the aisle which was so sweet and special.

    They arrived early to get everything set up on time and it was a breeze to use their equipment for the ceremony and toasts. Ricky is a great MC and personality for the evening, making sure the guests had a great time. You definitely won’t regret booking them!!

    The absolute best!

    I'm beyond happy we chose Christien Anthony for our wedding! From beginning to end, working with Ricky was a breeze. He's such a joy and incredibly personable. Ricky was also very helpful/flexible with me when navigating some last minute venue changes. Last but certainly not least, the band's performance was top-notch! Their talent, sound quality, and range of instruments and vocals is impressive. Our guests loved them and we received multiple compliments about them! Without a doubt, I'd book them again for an event. Thank you for everything, Ricky + team!

    Incredibly amazing!

    We heard about Christien Anthony Music from our venue and honestly, THEY MADE OUR WEDDING AMAZING!!! (Hired Ricky & Izzy as a MC & DJ). I was worried about whether guests would like the music and all of that. They made it simple and easy! I filled out a form where it broke down wedding music, cocktail music, and reception music. They made it simple in letting me send Spotify links for specific songs and honestly just told them I (the bride) grew up listening to R&B and my husband grew up listening to Pop. And they took it from there! I started getting worried 2 months before and realized I don’t have to worry! They also did not let me know of any problems during the wedding day, but found out from a relative that they were doing everything to make it work with the lack of WiFi (bc of the location). Truly if you hire Christien Anthony Music, they do make everything easy and a great time!

    Ricky and his group made my day a dream come true!

    Ricky and his band played for my wedding in September and they made my day so special. Ricky’s voice is absolutely beautiful! I chose a song and he delivered 100%. They were very professional and on time actually they arrived really early to allow time to set up. I would definitely recommend them to anyone who is having a special even, wedding.

    Talented and fantastic!

    These guys were the absolute best and my wife and I could not be happier with them! We loved the YouTube videos and they sounded even better in person. Our guests loved them too, and we would definitely hire them again. We might even hire them next year for our daughter’s birthday party. Cannot say enough good things, they were so professional and talented. Thanks!

    Amazing Wedding Band

    All of our guests danced the night away. Ricky was very responsive and gathered a list of wedding songs we wanted them to perform. The wasn’t a dry eye during the mother and son dance. Thank you it was unforgettable experience to have all of you there!

    Amazing!!!

    They were amazing!!! Not only did they sound amazing they customize our walks down the aisle by playing them with the piano and they were Star Wars songs! Playlist for the dinner was great! Professional, on time and elegant so friendly and welcoming. They really listen to our needs as to our hat style you would like. I can’t recommend them enough. Truly so grateful for them and made our day so special! Thank you!!!

    Best decision I made for my wedding! THAT SAYS ALOT!

    I literally can't even articulate how I really feel about this band! First off, they arrived way before their call time to ensure that sound and instruments were ready to go. They came in with such cool, and calm demeanors, which is a heaven sent for a stressed out bride. They executed every song with effortless perfection, and their stage presence is superb. Our guests are still talking about them! My only regret is not booking them longer. They're seriously worth the investment, and then some. I PROMISE you will no be disappointed, and as a matter of fact, my girlfriend just booked them for her wedding next year! THANK YOU Christien Anthony Music!

    Couldn't Have Imagined My Wedding Without Christien Anthony

    I rarely give referrals but this one has my whole entire heart in it. I love Christien Anthony so much that this is my SECOND TIME working with them. I first found them a few years back for my sister's wedding and the moment I heard them play, I promised myself that when it was my turn, they would be my must-have. I didn't care about any other detail, except that Christien Anthony had to be there.

    Here we are, a few years later, and you know they were the first vendor I reached out to!

    We got married in Southern Utah just a few weeks ago (!!) and they were everything I dreamed of, and more. They SHOWED UP and exceeded all my expectations, even though my expectations were already exceeded the first time! Like, how?!!

    My friends and family could not stop talking about the CONCERT that was happening! Like, they're not just a wedding band. They are a full-on concert experience and pop star group. Literally, THE BEST. I love this crew so much, it felt like having best friends with me on our big day. They look good, sound good, and are just good people.

    Ricky was so easy to communicate with during the entire experience and he was professional and so down to earth. I had some other vendors I worked with who felt so dry, boring, or like I was just another bride. Ricky hyped us up and made us feel special and cared for. We felt it in the weeks leading up to the wedding and most definitely on the day of.

    If you are on the fence about band vs. DJ or other band vs. Christien Anthony, let me stop you right here. This is the BEST investment you could make. I promise, promise, promise you won't regret it.

    I can't wait to book with them a third, fourth, fifth, millionth time! Love you, Christien Anthony!

    Mother of Groom

    Amazing band who traveled to remote Kanab Utah. Everything went as planned without a hitch. The Christien Anthony Music band is the best. They are my new go to for all events! 80 people in attendance danced the night away. The band was flexible and easy to work with making the Bride and Groom’s dreams come true. The wedding was maticulously planned and music was instrumental throughout and required president timing. They were absolutely perfect and professional in every aspect.
