Based in Omaha, Nebraska James Price Jr. - Baltimore Concert Promoter Photo of The R Factor The R Factor "The absolute BEST! The R Factor was the highlight of our wedding last December. We had the largest dance floor possible at our venue, Saint Paul Hotel, and people were dancing on the carpet- The dance floor was PACKED all night. Almost a year later, we still have guests raving to us about our wedding band. They were professional, took short breaks (the shortest breaks I’ve ever seen at a wedding) and they played almost all of the songs we requested. I highly recommend R Factor for any event. Thank you for making our wedding so memorable!!!"
