    Outstanding Dave Macklin Band for wedding

    The Dave Macklin Band had us dancing all night long at my son's wedding. The vocalists and musicians, including horn players, had everyone dancing to funk, R&B, and disco. I have not had so much fun dancing since my own wedding. And Irene made it all happen with great communication and thorough organization. Such a pleasure to work with.

    Rave review for the Dave Macklin Band

    Dave, Irene and the band were a huge reason for the success of the wedding celebration. The band is super tight, exc singers, great sound system. Irene made communication super easy, very open to suggestions. The dance floor was never empty! Highly (!!) recommend.

    Book for your wedding!!

    Where do I begin? The Dave Macklin Band was the absolute best investment of our entire wedding. First, their performers are incredible. From the moment I walked into my cocktail hour, until the very last banger at our reception, I was in awe. Our guests have been telling us for weeks how incredible the band was. The energy, the quality of performance, and the set list was spectacular. If you're looking for a wedding band – this is the band for you. Everyone was on the dance floor from beginning to end. Additionally, I have to praise the band manager Irene. She was the most organized vendor I have ever worked with. As our wedding was on a military installation, we had some insane paperwork requirements that all vendors needed to complete and she handled it quickly and with so much grace. I just can't recommend the Dave Macklin Band enough. They are more affordable than other bands in the area yet their performance is out of this world. They even helped secure us a violinist for our ceremony. If you book this band, you're going to have the wedding or event that everyone talks about for years to come. Thank you Irene , Dave Macklin, and the entire band for making our wedding the party of our dreams

    AMAZING BAND!!

    As a wedding planner, I had the pleasure of working with The Dave Macklin Band for my clients wedding, and they were truly exceptional. Their communication throughout the planning process was prompt, courteous, and they clearly demonstrated their expertise. On the day of the wedding, they had the dance floor packed all night with an amazing array of music that kept the guests entertained. The quality of their work was outstanding, and I felt the value was incredible - it was money well spent. They were a joy to work with and very amenable to requests. I cannot recommend The Dave Macklin Band highly enough for any couple looking for an incredible wedding band experience. Charlene DeLuca - Just A Girl Events

    The Dave Macklin Band was an absolute hit at our wedding! Their communication throughout the planning process was excellent and prompt, which put us at ease leading up to the big day. On the wedding day, they were true professionals - their performance was engaging and kept everyone on the dance floor all night long. The music selection spanned generations, which was perfect for our diverse group of guests. They worked closely with us to curate the playlist, learning a few special dances and even added some reception songs that were important to our family. We couldn't have been happier with their service and performance and highly recommend them to any couple looking for an amazing wedding band. Our guests are still raving about this group of talented performers!
