Testimonials

Dan played a daytime slot during our wedding, and we couldn't be happier with his performance. He was helpful, responsive and receptive on the lead up to the day. He played a beautiful set! Many of our guests commented on how the music made for a lovely atmosphere.

Dan and his band played at our wedding in July. They were absolutely incredible; every member of the band was clearly

very talented, and they played together perfectly. They really got the dance floor going, but also our older guests who were

sitting on nearby tables could still hear each other and hold a conversation - exactly the balance we asked for. We were able to have lots of input on the set list, and they even adapted our first dance song so that it started off with an acoustic version as we requested. At our wedding, the band played outside under a canopy, which probably wasn't the easiest set-up for them, but they had no issue with this and made it work. All our guests commented on how amazing the band were, we would highly recommend them!
