No Notes.

“Because a five star review just isn’t good enough.”

Born in Nashville and shaped by dance floors across the country, No Notes is the culmination of six years of high-performing, high-pressure, high-profile events. Founded by Riley Smith—whose résumé spans weddings and events for politicians + government officials, A-list celebrities, and Fortune 500 companies—No Notes was created for hosts who expect more.

We don’t simply perform; we translate your vision into moments that feel effortless, elevated, and impeccably executed. Every transition is intentional. Every song lands. Every guest says ‘goodnight’ reluctantly.

Side effects may include sore feet, lost voices, and a dangerously full dance floor—because unless medically excused, no one remains seated.

We exists for one reason: to turn your vision into something so dialed-in, so electric, and so seamless that feedback becomes unnecessary. From first song to final send-off, we read the room, raise the ceiling, and keep the energy elevating until last call.

Don’t take it from us

Big Table LLC - Nashville, TN

“It really is all in the name! No Notes exceeded every expectation for our corporate fundraiser. From the beginning, the team was professional, responsive, and deeply invested in the success of our event. Riley was personally invested and donated significant time and resources to ensure the evening was flawless.

The performance elevated the entire experience—guests were engaged, energized, and genuinely impressed. What stood out most was the generosity and care shown throughout the process. No Notes didn’t just show up; they showed up with intention and heart.

We would not hesitate to recommend them to any organization seeking exceptional entertainment with true professionalism and integrity.”

Sherry - Nashville, TN

“People were literally walking in from the street asking who the band was. That’s how good they were. They completely commanded the room while making it feel effortless and natural at the same time. Everyone was a part of the show!

What really blew us away was their versatility—they moved seamlessly between genres, matched the vibe perfectly, and pivoted without hesitation when plans changed last minute. They handled everything like true pros!

If you need a band that can adapt on the fly, read the room, and still deliver an unforgettable experience, they’re it.”

The McWards - Charleston, SC

“Our friends are still telling us it was the best wedding they’ve ever been to—and No Notes is the reason why. The dance floor was packed from start to finish with the perfect mix of throwback favorites and current hits. Every generation was out there dancing together. They even brought a DJ in addition to the live band!

The energy never dipped, the transitions were flawless, and the night was better than we dreamt it up. We were crowd surfing… we didn’t want it to end!

Our family was so impressed that they’re already booking No Notes for our siblings’ weddings haha. We truly couldn’t imagine our day without them!”

Becky - Atlanta

“I’ve had the pleasure of partnering with No Notes for various events and as an event planner I can say, they are exactly the kind of team you hope to work with. They were punctual, communicative, flexible, and incredibly easy to collaborate with throughout the planning process.

Nothing always goes according to plan in this line of work and on event day, they handled last-minute changes with ease, solved problems before they became problems, and kept the energy high all night long without ever feeling forced.

They are true professionals who elevate every event they touch. I confidently recommend No Notes to any couple or client looking for a seamless, standout experience. and they’re just dang fun!!”
