Spectrum

Spectrum-book them now!!!

Spectrum was a dream to work with and was the absolute highlight of our wedding! They are INCREDIBLE! So much fun and so helpful. Thank you for keeping the party full of energy, incredible vocals, and unbelievable musicians!

WTA is my go-to as a DMV wedding planner. Their bands are held to a high standard by management, and it shows. Talented, of course, but also professionally dressed, communicative and flexible. Spectrum, Onyx, Sound Connection, Millennium, just to name a few. You really cannot go wrong within their roster.

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!

SPECTRUM was the wedding band of our dreams!

The band was so high energy, picked phenomenal songs to match the crowd. Great communication in planning. Expanded their repertoire of Jewish music for an epic hora and welcomed the groom on stage for a trombone moment. Guests RAVED about how much fun they had.

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!

Their knowledge of traditional Jewish wedding music made every special moment feel authentic, while their versatility kept guests of all ages celebrating. Even with unpredictable weather and last-minute changes, they remained flexible, accommodating, and worked closely with our planner to ensure everything went perfectly.
