Our wedding was unlike any other. The energy from the band was absorbed by the crowd and resulted in incredible dancing, singing and excitement. My wedding was filled with crowd participation singing on and off stage. One of my friends said, "It was like a rock concert." I could not have chosen better than Simcha Orchestra. There is not a better group of guys to enjoy your special occasion with.

AMAZING! Robby was honestly a joy. We worked with a ton of vendors for our wedding including other musicians and none were as attentive, responsive, flexible or attuned to our needs. Robby happily composed special specific music for us for our ceremony (from Spotify tracks) and they came out better than perfect. Above all, he wanted us to be happy and satisfied with his work and it showed. I would trust him with my first born. Thank you for everything Robby!

Robby and the Simcha Orchestra did an AMAZING job at my daughter's wedding last summer. The mix of traditional Jewish wedding music plus some light rock medleys was just right. My daughter also had some special requests that were not on the usual playlist that Robby was able to arrange and play! The dance floor was very small and the acoustics were a challenge.

The band was at dance-floor level, and the distance to the far wall (large plate glass windows) was less than 50' and the last 15' were the dais for the bride, groom and family's dining tables. The dance floor was, at most, 30' deep and maybe 80' wide. Often bands play loudly to generate energy. This often gives people headaches for days after and prevents those at the event from enjoying conversation with each other when they aren't dancing.

I don't know how, even though the dancers were so close they almost bumped into the band, but Robby hit the volume spot JUST RIGHT. They know what they are doing! A friend of mine, a serious audiophile who often attends weddings with earplugs said it was the first time he had been able to enjoy a wedding without them. The proof is in the photographs of the attendees from ages 5 to 75 really having a good time.

As father of the bride, my burdens were lightened immeasurably by the preparation, professionalism and on-the-spot flexibility to deal with ad hoc situations. The band, the singing, the everything were just plain perfect. THANK YOU Robby and the Simcha Orchestra!

Robby took care of EVERYTHING, I didn't even have to give him a list of songs and everyone complimented the music! If you hire them, you have nothing to worry about! Our music was very specific Jewish music, and he had exactly what we wanted!
