    the most AMAZING band - an experience you won't forget

    I cannot write enough words to describe how incredibly fun, upbeat, and amazing The DC Transit Band was for our wedding! From the start, Cam (one of the band members and manager/coordinator/liaison) was easily reachable and was able to alleviate stress for how the day would run. He sent a script of the structure the entire day, down to the specific words. Early on, he sent a very extensive list of songs they could play and requested we mark ones we would/would not like. They had selections from wedding ballads, to 80's hits, to ABBA, to Taylor Swift, and everything in between. Day of, they had an amazing flow of the music and there was not a single skipped beat or note. They were also super flexible and learned abridged versions of multiple songs for us (including our first dance and my father/daughter dance)! To my surprise, they event sent versions of these abridged songs via email a couple of weeks before our wedding (which was SO perfect because my fiance and I could practice our first dance!).

    During our actual wedding event, even before it was officially "time" to start the dancing portion of the evening, we had guests dancing to the songs because The DC Transit Band is JUST THAT GOOD. Their vocalists (a male and female singer) both have the most luxurious, beautiful voices that compliment each other. They also have so many musical artists in their band (including a saxophone!!) that each song sounds so full and beautiful. At the end of the night, I'm pretty sure every single guest had raving reviews of the band. Even at our farewell brunch the next day, the guests were abuzz with the amazing talent of The DC Transit Band. I cannot recommend them enough -- book them if you want a fun filled, upbeat night with AMAZING vibes and superbly talented vocals.

    From planning to our wedding night, The DC Transit Band was everything I could have asked for!

    To start, just book them!! From the start of our planning experience through our wedding night, The DC Transit Band was phenomenal! Cam (the Band Manager) was so personable and professional, and always made himself available to answer any questions I had. He came prepared to every call we had and was always willing to offer his professional advice, which I needed and very much appreciated. During our wedding EVERYONE raved about how talented and fun they were. The dance floor was NEVER empty for three straight hours. My husband and I cannot thank them enough for being everything we could have wished for. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

    Wonderful experience

    Cam and the band accommodated every wish. They learned 4 new songs (including one that would be sung in Korean by the bride’s parents) and didn’t bat an eye. They were flexible throughout the evening and followed our every wish, even making changes to the schedule on the fly when things didn’t go quite as planned. The value for the experience was phenomenal, and we couldn’t be happier with the band’s professionalism and skill. They really helped set the tone for the evening.

    Cam was responsive and communicative throughout the planning process and made us feel comfortable every step of the way. Very easy to work with, and a gentleman.

    Say YES to DC transit!

    Working with Cameron and this incredible band was not only easy, it was fun! I am so thrilled with the incredible job they did and the entertainment they provided for us and our guests! They are upbeat, flexible, cater to requests, and are just an all around GREAT BAND! We can't wait to see them play again somewhere and re-live our wedding dancing!

    Best choice for a wedding band!

    Hire the DC Transit Band for your wedding, you won't regret it! Cam was super responsive and accommodating to our needs when it came to our wedding, they even learned 4 new songs just for us (by the way, if you are undecided on a first dance song, Lindsay absolutely rocked the band's version of Lover by Taylor Swift)! They even provided the music to our ceremony that was held outside of the reception hall. The best part about them is that you could tell they were truly having a great time up there on stage, and it showed through their music. We continue to get compliments about the band even a month after our wedding. They were all we could ever ask for!

    Simply Awesome Guest Experience

    Absolutely highly recommend DC Transit from an entertainment and professional point of view. The entire band was talented, energetic, yet down to earth and easy to work with. They learned two new songs for the first dances and provided us with those tracks in advance to review. The horns made the band's overall sound so rich. During the cocktail hour, the horns provided a jazz quartet for background mood music. Wedding dinner and dancing featured the full 9 member band playing. The only break the band took was during the best man/maid of honor speeches. Afterwards, they played a straight 2 1/2 hour set. The band read the crowd extremely well and kept the dance floor packed all night long with great, upbeat music. DC Transit provided a simply awesome experience for all our wedding guests.

    DC Transit Rocks!

    From the hiring process to the actual event they were great to work with. As a musician myself, I admired their versatility, range, and quality. Everyone of my guests mentioned how great the band was. They really made our event amazing.

    The Most Professional

    DCTB is the hardest working, most entertaining band for events I’ve ever seen and they helped with all of the timing and proceedings with our wedding. They are the BEST band in the scene!

    I was the wedding coordinator—the band was recommended to the bride. I screened the band and was exceedingly impressed.

    Cam and the DC Transit Band were amazing! They truly rocked the crowd. Our bride and groom were very much into their music and worked with Cam on the music selections. They even learned new songs! Everything was perfect! Their energy was high; the announcements were done professionally. They adhered to our timing schedule. And they were nice and very communicative throughout the planning process. I have only the highest praise for Cam and the DC Transit Band. As the event planner, I was exceedingly thrilled. The parents and their friends danced the night away —the bride and groom was still over the moon! Thank you for making Lindsay and Adam’s wedding at the Intercontinental DC Wharf the best one ever!!

    Easiest wedding decision there was

    If you are reading reviews - just stop. Go ahead and book DC Transit Band before someone else snatches them up.

    I first heard of DC Transit Band from a friend. She heard them at a wedding, and the next morning texted me to tell me that she found my wedding band. As soon as I got engaged,my fiance and I reached out and we couldn't be MORE thrilled with our decision. From the start, Cam and the group have been an absolute DELIGHT to work with. My husband and I went to listen to them one night at a bar and were blown away by their talent. When we finally got to chat with them during set-break, we were blown away by how nice and fun and all-around great they were.

    My husband and I procrastinated a little about our song-selection. Cam was so patient and professional and helped guide us through our check-list and gave us some great suggestions and guidance as we chose some special songs. He helped coordinate a string quartet for the ceremony who was incredible and nailed our songs (including a very special request song for my husband as he walked down the aisle).

    And at our party, Cam, Lindsey and the band were the best! They learned some songs for us (and on short-notice, much appreciated!!). They kept everyone on the dance floor and bouncing around. There wasn't a down moment, I just wish the party was longer so they could have kept playing. So, so many people throughout the evening kept coming up to us and complimenting the band.

    Music is such an important choice at a wedding and can make or break a party. DC Transit Band is the best choice you could make. Their voices were on point, the instruments were on point, their song selection was on point. They made our wedding into a beautiful live affair and we couldn't be happier with our decision. We hope we have another special event soon and get the chance to hire them again! Do yourself a favor and stop looking at anyone else, you WILL NOT find anything better.

    The best decision we made about out wedding was to hire DC Transit Band. They went above and beyond our expectations and I could not be more thankful. Everyone I spoke with at and after our wedding complemented the performance. It was a hot day for our wedding and they were still so high energy and fun! The music selection was perfect and we are just so happy about how everything went. They put together an amazing selection of fun music and kept the party going! Hiring DC Transit Band was definitely one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. I will be forever grateful that they were a part of our special day!

    Cam and the DC Transit Band were wonderful! Cam was very responsive and helpful throughout the process. Because they had played at our venue before, he was able to provide a lot of helpful information regarding set-up and room layout. And the band was so much fun the day of the wedding. They had everyone out on the dance floor!

    The DC Transit Band were wonderful to work with from the beginning. My company used them for a corporate anniversary party and they were extremely accommodating and responsive. Cam is fantastic and he was easy to get a hold of and made the whole process seamless. The band was SO much fun and had a range of songs to get all ages on the dance floor. They are a great value (9-piece band!) and you won't regret hiring them.

    Wow. Your crazy if you do not engage The DC Transit Band for your event!! They went out of there way to develop a play list for our event that had a broad age group and a variety of tastes. They even learned several new songs that we had requested. The jazz during our cocktail hour was amazing. Sadly we could have danced a whole lot longer as the evening went way to fast. The communication during the planning stages was flawless. Thanks again to Cam and his world class musicians. Chuck Lawrence - Sailing Club of the Chesapeake. This was not a wedding but a Annual Dinner dance.

    From our first contact until the end of the reception everything was professional, top notch, and fun. Cam, Lindsey, and the rest of the band were a joy to be around. Our guests remarked on the high quality of the music. I would definitely recommend D.C. Transit Band for your wedding and event!!

    DC Transit Band was the BEST decision we made during the whole wedding process!!! Cam was absolutely wonderful and easy to work with and he went above and beyond to make our wedding special. He visited our venue on his own time to get a feel for our lay out and that truly made a difference! The whole band was set up in the most perfect locations during cocktail hour, the dinner, and the reception to set the perfect mood. Two months later, our guests are still telling us how much they LOVED the band. They were that much of a HIT! A million times better than any DJ and they were very reasonably priced. Best decision we made!

    Professionals who bring the party

    We booked the DC Transit Band after loving their performance at a friend's wedding, and couldn't be happier with our choice.

    Cam was extraordinarily easy to work with. He promptly answered every email and kept close track of all our special requests. The rest of the band was every bit as accommodating - making requested changes mid-reception without any difficulty. Our venue, which coordinated with the band, praised their early arrival, quick setup/takedown, and overall professionalism.

    Countless guests complimented us on the band both during and after the reception, and with good reason. They did a great job getting guests of all ages on their feet - not easy to do with a reception that ran from 7pm to midnight. Our wedding wouldn't have been the same without them, and I could not recommend them highly enough.

    Hiring the DC Transit was one of the best decisions we made in all of our wedding planning.

    Cam was very responsive, easy to work with, and did a great job of accommodating our requests for songs, programming items, etc. We had a lot of input into what songs were played at the wedding and they even learned a few new songs just for us.

    The band itself brought down the house during the reception. They did a fantastic job of getting the whole crowd dancing all night. The songs in their line up are extensive, relevant, and fantastically preformed. We received many compliments on them after the wedding and a number of our friends have asked about how to book them for their own events.

    Additionally their value is unmatched. They provided a nine piece band for the reception and a four piece jazz combo for the cocktail hour at a literally unbelievable price. Also for a small additional fee their piano player provided music at our ceremony .

    I can't speak highly enough of the DC Transit, I would hire them again every day of the week and twice on Sundays. You're crazy if you look somewhere else.

    Look no further! DC Transit was the best choice we made. It really brought our wedding celebration to its full potential. Excellent playlist, talent, communication, and we had the best dance party. We honestly had so much fun at our own wedding and would not have changed a single thing.
