Looking for an 80s cover band to play my wedding

Hey All,
I was wondering if any of you had any suggestions for 80s cover bands to play my wedding this summer. Obviously some bands can be hit or miss when they actually play so I'd greatly appreciate any feedback you all may have.
Thanks!

    Check out Prime Time Horns ( http://www.primetimehorns.com/.... They're located in upstate New York, but I know they've traveled out of the area for gigs in the past.

    The Real Geniuses are based out of Baltimore! I really enjoyed them, and I know they do private events.

    Get the Real Geniuses.  They played our DC wedding last May and were absolutely fantastic!  They are as good as their demos online, if not better.   http://therealgeniuses.com/
    I'm telling you, they were AWESOME and everyone raved about them afterward.  It was the BEST part of our wedding hands down.  In fact, can I come to your wedding so we can party again?? :-)

      Here's their page on Sam Hill Bands, http://www.samhillbands.com/ba... they are very affordable compared to other bands in the DC area!

    Hair Raid is a hilarious and talented 80s hair band, though they come with some of the raunchiness of hair bands more generally. I've seen them at various bars and the epic annual 80s prom at Black Finn, and we always have a great time. Your family would definitely need a sense of humor though (or ask the band to tone things down).  https://www.facebook.com/HairR...

    Hi there "dblatodc"!
    My name is Becky, I'm the lead singer of "The BIG '80s Show" an '80s Tribute band (formerly "The Ronald Reagans") with extensive experience performing weddings, private and corporate events, and clubs up and down the east coast. Our show is an affordable, family friendly, thoroughly entertaining act filled with costume changes and loads of crowd interaction. I hope you will take a minute to check out our videos and our bandpage on facebook.
    Videos: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v... />Fb bandpage with photos, audio, and more: http://www.facebook.com/TheRon...br />
    Our performers have both Broadway and national touring experience. The band has performed for the U.S. Congress, played for celebrity chefs Guy Fieri and Andrew Zimmern at the NYC Wine & Food Festival, and have played from Boston to The Bahamas. Our musicians perform the most authentic, note-for-note recreations of your favorite 80s songs and will work closely with you and your fiance to give you exactly the wedding you are envisioning, from how "dialed-up" you want the costumes to be, to your choice of set list, to level interaction with you and your guests.

    I would be happy to speak with you directly and answer any questions you might have regarding how we can achieve your dream wedding!! Even if you don't know what you want exactly yet, I'd be glad to let you know what we can provide. Please send me an email so we can begin the conversation.
    Email Becky at: theronaldreagans@gmail.com

    Congrats on your engagement!! Cheers! :)
    -Becky
