I booked Susan Supko through WTA for my wedding and had a phenomenal experience. The agency, Susan, and her second-shooter Nick were kind, helpful, and wonderful to work with. I am absolutely obsessed with the photos and could not be happier with everything!

We hired District Groove and DJ Justin for our wedding last week. THEY WERE AMAZING! Everyone is still telling us how the band was one of their favorite parts of the wedding. I also appreciated how they adhered to our black-tie dress code. The band members were so interactive when we had our last dance party of the night. They even let my now husband sing with them lol 10/10 would recommend!

Encore was one of the absolute highlights of our wedding! They kept all 230 of our guests on the dance floor from the first song until the very last. We've heard from so many friends and family since the wedding, and everyone keeps raving about how incredible the band was. What made the experience even more special was their willingness to learn a few songs that were personally meaningful to us, even though they weren't part of their standard setlist. They absolutely nailed every one of them and made our night feel so personal. One of the most memorable moments of the evening was when they invited a family member on stage to sing a couple of songs with them. It created such a fun, unforgettable experience that everyone loved. Encore exceeded every expectation we had. Their talent, energy, professionalism, and ability to keep the dance floor packed all night long were second to none. If you're looking for a wedding band that will have your guests talking long after the wedding is over, look no further than Encore. They absolutely crushed it!

On New Year’s Day 2025, our family huddled up on the comfy family room couch and spent the entire day watching YouTube videos of wedding bands and college football bowl games! It was a productive day. Our teams were victorious and more important, after viewing hundreds of bands, we all agreed that Spectrum (Washington Talent Agency) was exactly what we were hoping for! (For context, I’m the mother of the bride.) A few weeks later we attended a Spectrum showcase. Even in a studio setting on a snowy Thursday night, Spectrum blew us away with their sheer talent and engaging personalities. We signed a contract immediately. I can’t say enough about how enjoyable it was to work with the Washington Talent Agency (WTA) Representative, Jake Sherman, and the Spectrum Bandleader, Ben Kaufman, in the lead-up to the wedding. Jake and Ben are both consummate professionals who quickly became friends. They went above and beyond to ensure that our wedding was seamless and perfect. Our wedding venue was the DAR Memorial Continental Hall in DC. Cocktails in the Library, dinner in the O’Byrne Gallery, and dancing on the gorgeous historic outdoor Portico with a full view of national monuments. Spectrum provided all the music from 5pm until 11pm. From the moment our daughter and her husband’s wedding began, Spectrum exceeded every expectation. The 9-piece band included keyboard, guitar, bass, drums, trumpet, saxophone, trombone, two male vocalists, and one female vocalist. The remarkable horn section created a full powerful sound and a contagious energy that filled the Portico all night long. The vocalists were beyond outstanding, not only incredibly talented, but also super engaging, charismatic, and full of personality. The Spectrum musicians didn’t just ‘perform’ – they all knew exactly how to connect with our guests and keep the celebration going. The dance floor (Portico) was packed from beginning to end, which was exactly what we had hoped for. Spectrum’s extensive knowledge of traditional Jewish wedding music and customs made the Hora and other special moments feel authentic and unforgettable! Spectrum truly honored those traditions while seamlessly blending them with an extraordinary mix of music that kept guests of every age dancing. Watching our daughter and her husband surrounded by so much celebration and happiness is a memory I’ll cherish forever, and the Spectrum musicians played a substantial role in creating that magic! We were especially grateful for WTA and Spectrum’s professionalism, flexibility, and very accommodating nature during the week before the wedding. The weather was damp and unpredictable. They worked closely with our wedding planner (Lisa Havard) and graciously adapted to setting up outside on the Portico without issue. Spectrum’s positive attitude and willingness to accommodate last-minute changes meant everything to us and helped make an already emotional day completely stress-free. Choosing Spectrum as our band was one of the very best decisions we made for the wedding. They are exceptionally talented, professional, super high-energy, and genuinely passionate about creating an unforgettable experience. We highly recommend Spectrum (and WTA) without hesitation!

My husband and I recently hosted a one-year wedding anniversary party and worked with the Black Tie band from the Washington Talent Agency! On the administrative side, I worked with Steve Shannon, who was extremely responsive and thorough, making the band selection and booking process seamless and fun. We are so happy with our choice to book Black Tie! The energy they brought to the party was incredible—they had our guests on the dance floor all night, exactly what we hoped for. The instrumentals, vocals, and overall sound quality were top tier. They have an extensive song list and kept the party going with bop after bop after bop! And those dance moves—you can’t help but hit the dance floor when you watch them perform. We also appreciated being able to request songs in advance for the DJ to play during their breaks. We’ve received so many compliments from our guests about the band’s talent and the pure joy they brought to the celebration. The number of times we've heard, “They were the best wedding band I’ve ever heard!” and “That was the most fun I’ve ever had on the dance floor!” is too many to count. There’s nothing better than live music—thank you for making this truly the party of the year! Photography: Olive & Mint Photography Content Creation: Content by Liz

We had an excellent experience with WTA from start to finish!! We hired them for photography, videography, and photo booth for our 5/1/2026. The photo booth was a huge hit!! They even held onto hard copies of all of the photos for us (major brownie points for this!). The video is stunning and captures the event from start to finish - VERY helpful since it flew by. Our videographer David worked some serious magic, I'm blown away at how well the video came out. The photos are incredibly elegant and our photographer David was so easy to work with. He directed us when we didn't quite know what to do. David and David were incredibly friendly and may as well have been guests at our wedding! 10/10!!

Washington Talent Agency really came through, big time, when I needed a mad scientist impersonator for a special event. I was drawing blanks and they came up with a REALLY good actor who played the part perfectly! What a hit he was. They were easy to work with and really helped this event be a big success. Thank you!

Outstanding Band! Onyx is the best! We booked Onyx for our backyard wedding and they were so incredible! They played such great songs, learned songs, and kept the dance floor full the entire night! The best part was them coming on the floor and interacting with the guests throughotu the night! It was a blast! I would recommend Onyx to everyone if you are looking for a fun, engaging, talented, and professional band for your event!

District Groove Our daughter's wedding was the party we so wanted it to be and that was largely because of the energy and music and fun that District Groove brought! Everyone danced and they never stopped - and that was because District Groove never stopped. The music was so good. Every musician brought incredible talent. We loved the way everyone in the band engaged the whole crowd. We really did not want it to end. It was amazing. I highly recommend District Groove if you want high-quality care leading up to the event and then a night you will never forget because the band was so good.

Best band ever! We hired Spectrum for our wedding. Even with high recommendations, they completely blew us away with how phenomenal they were. They were so good, if you looked away you would forget that you’re listening to a live band. Everything from the one-on-one coordination with Ben, to the actual event went off without a hitch. We danced the night away with our friends and family, and it’s all thanks to Spectrum!

Spectrum is the best! Spectrum is the best band EVER! They were one of the absolute highlights of our wedding day. We wish we could hear them play every weekend! Every guest said the same thing—they've never seen a dance floor that packed or that much fun. THANK YOU SPECTRUM!

District Groove If you want to have the best wedding reception of all time, then District Groove is your band. This is not your run-of-the-mill wedding band, because they are TRUE performers at heart. A month after my brother’s wedding, we still talk about how phenomenal they were! I didn’t want the night to end because we all had so much fun thanks to District Groove!

Exceeded all Expectations! WTA and the band 'Onyx' were a critical part in making our wedding reception so special. My wife and I still can't believe how incredible the band was. We had high hopes based on the very positive interactions we'd had with Washington Talent during the booking process, and while reviewing the band's extensive set list, but it's hard to get the true sense of a band's performance from a small teaser video and old cellphone recordings on YouTube. What we got was a group with amazing energy, phenomenal musical talent, and a real talent for reading and engaging the crowd. Anytime the energy waned or the dance-floor emptied, they had a trick up their sleeves ready to get people refocused. It was a true pleasure to work with them, and we're deeply grateful for their hard work making our wedding day so special. Thank you!

Spectrum Band was AWESOME Ben and the entire team were absolutely incredible. From start to finish, they created an epic soundtrack to the party of our lives. Every part of the evening was incredible: from the amazing music and atmosphere during dinner to keeping everyone on the dance floor all night long. We heard nothing but amazing feedback from our guests. Everyone had the best time and could not stop talking about how great the band was. We especially appreciated that they took the time to learn and perform a few specific songs for us, and they absolutely nailed them. Their talent, energy, and professionalism made the night unforgettable. We truly cannot recommend them enough. Thank you again to SPECTRUM BAND for making our wedding so unbelievably fun and memorable!
