    Onyx is the best band!

    Onyx surpassed every expectation that we had! Our Wedding band was probably the highest priority on our list during wedding planning and we could not be any happier with choosing Onyx!

    We saw Onyx at a showcase and saw all of the positive reviews online and were really excited to have them play our wedding - we were blown away by the evening! We had a bit of non-traditional wedding with no sit down dinner, and the band was perfect at reading the room and playing the perfect music for what was happening.

    We had an epic dance party for HOURS after food was finished and we received compliments all night and in the days and weeks to follow! We heard "this is the best wedding band we've ever seen" on countless occasions. They were truly amazing.

    It is hard to overstate how easy David and Onyx made the entire process. They were extremely communicative, assuaged all of our concerns, are detail oriented, and really just lovely people.

    Would recommend Onyx millions of times over for any of your needs! They are the best!!

    Spectrum Made Our Fairy Tale Wedding Come True

    We booked Spectrum as our wedding reception band through Washington Talent Agency for our wedding on July 30, 2023 and we can confidently say they were the perfect choice! We went to see Spectrum perform at a showcase at Washington Talent's office and they blew us away with their performance and we knew immediately they were the band for our wedding! They brought so much energy at the showcase and played a variety of genres and gave us a feel for what they would be like at a wedding.
    Chuck from Washington Talent and the band were incredibly helpful throughout the planning process. Ben, the band leader, was fantastic to work with leading up to the wedding day. He was extremely helpful with planning the timeline of events for our reception and having the order of events flow flawlessly. Ben was happy to help in any way possible and was extremely flexible with making sure our night was exactly what we wanted it to be.
    And then finally came our wedding day. We were extremely confident that Spectrum was going to be fantastic as our wedding reception band and they were absolutely incredible! Their energy and musical talent is unmatched to any other wedding band we've ever seen. They played a great mix of all different genres and ensured that the energy was going all night. We wanted the dance floor to be packed the whole night and thanks to Spectrum that was certainly the case! They play the whole night and rotate their dinner breaks for their band members so that there is at least some live music playing at all times. They were a huge part of make our wedding so special. We had so many wedding guests tell us how amazing they thought Spectrum was and that they are the best wedding band. We could go on and on about how amazing they are as a wedding band. Picking a wedding band was one of the most important aspects of our wedding reception and we can say for sure we made the best decision possible by booking Spectrum. We have been to some weddings since ours and no other band we have heard comes even close to Spectrum's energy and musical talent. If you are in the process of looking for a wedding reception band in the DMV area, you can stop your search now and look no further and book Spectrum. We can confidently say that you will be extremely happy with booking Spectrum.

    You must chose onyx for your wedding

    We had Onyx play at our wedding on 12.17.22 and they completely exceeded our expectations! The band immediately had the crowd going! They were interactive with us and our guests! They put on our cowboy hats and sunglasses we handed out, pulled us on stage, came out into the crowd and made us feel like we were at the coolest concert! The instrumentalists and the singers are beyond talented and fun. Choosing Onyx as our band was our best decision. They were communicative with us throughout the planning process, met with us multiple times to ensure they understood what we wanted and learned multiple songs for us. If you want to have the most fun wedding you must chose them!

    Incredible Band!

    The wedding was beyond our wildest dreams, and the SoundConnection band played a massive role in that! The dance floor was packed and we went up on stage for the finale which was very fun. All in all we are grateful for how incredible the evening was.

    Perfect and amazing!

    Spectrum was seriously the best band ever!! They played during our entire reception (4.5 hours) nonstop and played songs that we requested ahead of time, as well as songs that played off the crowd. They were super vibey and professional and just a fun time all around. I am definitely recommending them to all of my friends!

    Amazing experience

    We wanted an amazing live band for our Nov. 10 wedding, and Onyx MORE than delivered!!!! They kept the dance floor full all night long, and they learned 3 new songs for our special dances. Everyone from Washington Talent and Onyx were incredible to work with, and they gave us a very fair price for what was included. I plan to recommend Onyx to anyone planning a wedding. 5 stars across the board.

    Sound Nation is the BEST BAND EVER!

    We could not have had a better experience with Washington Talent and Sound Nation! Sound Nation brought the house down at our wedding. So many guests came up to us during the wedding and after to tell them that this was the best band they've ever heard at a wedding!

    Angela was an amazing emcee throughout the evening and she and the band sounded so good! Sam was so great to work with. He totally understood our vision and worked closely with the vendor coordinator to make sure the band would fit in the space while maximizing the venue.

    Sound Nation played almost every song we put on our "please play" list which we were so excited about! They totally played off of the crowd. At one point, I think almost every single wedding guest was on the dance floor. We seriously could not recommend Sound Nation enough. If you want to have the most unforgettable, incredible night - you need to hire Sound Nation!!!

    Excellent Product and Service

    Stepped in 1.5 weeks before the wedding for a photobooth after we had to let ours go with no confidence. Love that we have the film strip files and originals. Appreciated that the tech was diligent in adding all photos to the photo-booth guestbook.

    Professional, great communication, and stellar product. Thank you!

    Onyx is the best!!

    Incredible wedding band! They got all our guests up off their feet and dancing the whole night. They also provided us with ceremony sound which was really nice not having to worry about leading up to the wedding.
    Guests told us Onyx was the best wedding band they have ever seen and we agree! They know how to read the room, and they aren't playing the stereotypical band repertoire. They are such talented musicians.
    Extremely professional and reliable. So easy to work with. Book them!!

    Thank you for helping to create our Dream Wedding

    Review for Talent Agent Coordinator Purnell:

    Purnell is professional and proficient in the realm of talent coordination. His unparalleled knack for understanding the needs of his clients and matching them with the perfect talent is something that truly sets him apart in this field. I explained the type of music style and dance party we envisioned and he immediately knew that DJ Ralph was the one for the job. And he was right.
    From the moment we began working with Purnell, his meticulous attention to detail was immediately apparent. He managed every aspect of our talent requirements flawlessly. His exceptional communication skills, combined with a genuine passion for his work, ensured a seamless experience from start to finish. I would recommend Purnell without hesitation to anyone in need of a top-notch talent agent coordinator.

    Review for DJ Ralph:

    In one word, DJ Ralph is phenomenal! His ability to read the room and adapt the music to suit the mood is unparalleled. His set at our wedding was nothing short of spectacular, creating an atmosphere that was both vibrant and electric. So many of my guests told us that Ralph was the best DJ they have danced to at an event.

    Ralph's music selection was impeccably tailored to our tastes and preferences. He managed to blend a variety of genres seamlessly, ensuring that every guest, regardless of age or music taste, was on the dancefloor. He integrated the songs we wanted played at our wedding at the right times. His MC skills were incredible as he communicated announcements to guests, gave wonderful introductions, and managed the flow of the party smoothly. His energy and passion were infectious, which contributed to the overall success of our party.

    Not only is Ralph an outstanding DJ, but he is also a warm and friendly individual. His professionalism, coupled with his amiable personality, made him a joy to work with. He went above and beyond to ensure our wedding dance party was an unforgettable experience.

    DJ Ralph is, without doubt, the best choice for any event. His exceptional skills, combined with his ability to create a captivating atmosphere, make him the ultimate DJ for any occasion. I wholeheartedly recommend Ralph for any event that requires a touch of musical magic!

    10/10 Wedding Band - Onyx

    There are countless decisions when it comes to planning a wedding, but choosing Onyx for our wedding band was by far one of the best decisions we made. From the easy and clear communication with the band manager to the insanely talented members of the band, we are so happy and grateful to have had Onyx perform on our special day. My family is not typically the "dancing" kind of family... but with Onyx playing at our wedding, you couldn't keep people off the dance floor. Everyone had the time of their lives and Onyx made that possible. Throughout the reception and after our wedding, we received countless compliments from our friends and family with how much everyone loved Onyx and my husband and I couldn't agree more.

    Hire onyx asap

    For anyone looking for a band to get the party started and keep you dancing all night long- HIRE ONYX. I am not kidding when I say that they made my entire reception. All night long my guests were asking for the name of the band and where I found them. Not only are they amazing at what they do, they bring the energy while making your night run smoothly! David was amazing with communication throughout the planning process, and was such a delight to work with. I also worked with Purnell who was SO delightful and so helpful with booking Onyx. I would recommend Onyx to any single person looking for a band for their wedding or any other event.

    DJ Daryn was great!

    We had DJ Daryn at our wedding reception and he did an absolutely FANTASTIC job. He was extremely professional, followed our 'play, do not play list' and lived his motto that our wedding day was about us, not anyone else. His services are fairly priced and the volume was just right: party vibes but you could still hold a conversation easily! The dance floor was hopping to songs that we loved, and he did a great job following the nature ebb and flow of the reception. Thank you, Daryn, for making our reception a wonderful event and a memory that we will cherish for years to come.

    Spectrum Band - Amazing!

    We had Spectrum band play at our wedding and they were fantastic! They were incredibly communicative ahead of the big day and so much fun during it. Their song selection during both the dance floor and dinner was perfect. We couldn't have asked for a better band and wedding experience, high energy the entire time. Our guests were talking about how great the band was immediately after the wedding and still are! 11/10 would recommend Spectrum

    Best Wedding Band Ever

    Spectrum played at our wedding in DC at the DAR and they were absolutely brilliant. I have seen a lot of wedding bands play, but I have never seen anything like this. Our guests have all said the same. Every piece of the band was perfect and absolutely nailed it. Everyone was dancing. At one point in the evening, I looked over and my cousin had a tamborine! When Ben, George, and the crew played "Shout", I (the groom) literally lost my mind. My brother and best man informed me that about 40-60 complete strangers were dancing outside the wedding venue on the street. That's how good Spectrum was. Run -- don't walk -- to hiring Spectrum if you want to take your wedding reception to the next level.

    Incredible Service!

    We booked Sound Nation through Washington Talent Agency and we were THRILLED with the service they provided. They learned our wedding song and even changed some lyrics for us! The dance floor was packed the entire night and the band did a great job of sensing the energy of the room. The singers are incredibly talented and really made the night special!

    Spectrum - best band ever!

    Just WOW. We were absolutely blown away by Spectrum. This is a top tier band. Our friends and family had an absolute ball and have been talking about this band so much since our wedding, calling it the "best band ever". I would go see them play not at a wedding just for fun. The variety of songs they are able to perform really well was insane - from Pitbull to Taylor Swift to oldies and everything in between... The fact that they have so many instruments and different people able to do vocals increases the variety. Also, they were super flexible and easy to work with - they even learned a few songs just for us upon request. Music for our wedding was super important to us so we are so happy we went with Spectrum.

    You haven’t see a wedding band until you’ve seen Spectrum! They had the crowd rocking the whole night, and we had the best night of our life in large part thanks to them! They coordinate with you in advance to make sure every detail is perfect, and their sound is incredible. We want spectrum to go on tour!!!!!!

    Amazing Experience!

    The Source was absolutely amazing at our wedding. Everyone could not say enough nice things about how good they were all night. I appreciate The Source bringing the party and also dealing with the unexpected rain. Even with one of their sound system pieces getting wet they were able to adjust quickly and continue playing the rest of the night!
    They truly made the night unforgettable!!
