Reviews for DL Entertainments

Must Book Vendor!

Booking DL Entertainments for our wedding music was the best decision we could have made. My husband and I love music and wanted it to play a central role throughout our big day, so choosing the right musical acts was key. Right from the start, Damiain and the team listened carefully to what we wanted. They crafted a bespoke plan and—WOW—we could not have been happier! We had high expectations, but even these were surpassed.
Some of the many highlights included the beautiful solo guitar during our ceremony and the guitarist learning specific, meaningful songs for us. Many happy tears were shed! In addition, the jazz band brought so much joy to our drinks reception, and guests loved dancing to their brilliant takes on chart-toppers.
Many of our guests told us, unprompted, that the Zed Men were the best wedding band they had ever heard—and we couldn’t agree more. The dance floor was full for their entire set, which created an incredible atmosphere that we will both treasure forever. They also learned a specially requested song for our first dance, and their rendition was so beautiful—it was a truly special moment.
Finally, the DJ for the silent disco couldn’t have made a better setlist for my Husband and I. It was completely tailored to our requests, and we loved dancing late into the night! We later learned that he spent many hours over several months curating the perfect playlist, and we couldn’t be more grateful.
If you want a full dance floor, many happy tears, and a wedding people will never forget, then you must book DL Entertainments!

Music for your every want and dream!

Daimian and his team were fantastic, it was so easy speaking to Amanda at DL ensuring that everything was what we wanted and needed for the wedding.

Daimian provided music services throughout the day and was there to manage it all! From jazz during the drink reception that was top notch to piano played throughout the wedding breakfast, Daimian also learnt our entrance song for us on piano to play. During the evening reception we had Wonderboy play who are also super! A huge number of our guests commented how good all the music was and I know we will not hesitate to recommend DL Entertainment to anyone in the future.

An incredible band!

I’ve booked DLB many times before for corporate events and work parties and they’ve always been great. They were the obvious choice to call for our wedding and I’m so glad they were available to play. What an incredible acoustic afternoon set by Damiain and awesome evening by the full band! The dance floor was full from the moment they started playing and people are still talking about it a week later! Thank you for helping to complete our perfect day!

The Best Wedding Bands Around

We used three separate bands all from DL Entertainments for our August 24 wedding and they really made the whole evening a party. Everyone danced all night and kept telling me how great the bands were. We couldn’t have asked for a more fun, professional and talented group of musicians to help us celebrate our special day.

A wedding highlight! Couldn't have asked for more

Without question booking the DLB was one of the best decisions made when planning our wedding. We wanted to ensure that all our guests had an amazing, memorable time and the show the band put on was just that. Our guest have all talked to us about how good they were (a nice thing to hear as it was important for us that they enjoyed the reception).

The set list was perfect for the occasion with a smooth balance of pop, funk and rock music that kept us all entertained and on the dance floor all night (with a great light show too!).

It was clear that the band had so much experience in playing these kind of events and were so flexible & efficient in setup as our speech timings overran but they pulled it all back.

The booking experience was so easy with many different exciting options. We went with the 8 piece with a Sax and 2nd singer as we love the 'big band' experience.

I can't wait for the next big opportunity to through a party and won't hesitate in re-booking the band.

Thanks Damiain, Matt, Callum and all others for making the day so special!

Amazing service, amazing music

DL Entertainments provided us with a few different bands for our wedding as we wanted a "festival" vibe. Thinking about organising and booking different acts initially felt quite stressful. Still, after a first chat with Damiain, he immediately put me at ease and took control of the situation. The booking process was extremely easy with clear communication and high levels of professionalism throughout.
On the day, the bands were amazing. All of our friends and families remember and talk about our wedding reception because of the bands from DLE. Being a musician myself, I wanted good quality live music and high standards. To be honest, they went above and beyond those standards in every way. Highly recommend!

Fantastic band!

We had the DLB play at our wedding last summer and they were brilliant. Everyone was up on the dance floor and so many guests commented on how good the band was. The DLE were easy to deal with in the run up to our wedding, readily available to talk to and so helpful with any questions that we had about how the evening would run. I would not hesitate to use them again.

Hi! My name is Damiain and I am the founder and one of the directors of DL Entertainments. I'll be the one who you'll chat with to talk about what you want from your music for your big day. I have been a musician for over 20 years and have played at hundreds of weddings over the years.

A little about me; I'm married with two boys and a grown up daughter. I love to BBQ in the summer and cook curry in the winter. I'm partial to trying rum from around the world as well enjoying a single malt whisky on special occasions.

This year I've become a bit obsessed with my lawn and figuring out how to make it even more green and lush! I'd say, I have still quite a lot to learn!

My dog Jed (who is sat at my feet while I type) spends most of his time sitting with me in my office or outside in the garden barking lovingly at next door's dog Dillis!

My hobbies are all music based; either listening to or playing music and I've even been known to write a song or two!

That's me!

Hello!

I am Mat. I loooove playing guitar and performing live. Over the years I have been a profesional musician and a teacher and have always loved playing for people at their weddings.

Like Damiain, I enjoy BBQ's but have particular fascination with out door pizza ovens. In lockdown I built one but it caught fire (oops!). So while I discovered I am not an engineer, I can make a good dough!

Damiain and I have built DL Entertainments together on the premise that we want to play music with people that are as passionate as we are about entertaining couples and their guests. We like helping people put together music for their weddings that they really love and will remember.

Over the years we've met and now work with a lot of other musicians that feel the same as us so here we are, ready to help you with our band of awesome performers!

Mat :-)
