Fantastic band!

DC Fusion and its management were wonderful to work with from the jump, and they delivered an amazing performance at our wedding reception. The band has a huge list of available songs from all different genres, and was flexible to add requests as well. They came prepared and coordinated perfectly with our venue and other vendors. These guys are pros!

"Chris Grasso Music" arranged for DC Fusion band and Anthem Trio-- all were excellent!!

Chris Grasso did a wonderful job booking all the musicians for our daughter's wedding. He arranged for the band DC Fusion to play at the wedding reception, and Chris also booked "Anthem Trio" to play for the wedding ceremony. All of them were terrific!

All our guests absolutely loved the band, DC Fusion. The band did a fantastic job and kept the dance floor hopping all evening long. They had so much energy-- and all the musicians were so talented! The soloists sang beautifully and all the instrumentalists were superb! The sax player and guitar player from the DC Fusion band performed for the cocktail hour and they sounded fabulous.

We also loved having the Anthem Trio play for the wedding ceremony. Anthem trio is a trio of violin, cello and hammered dulcimer-- and they can play a broad range of music from popular standards to Celtic music. We called Chris Grasso looking for a violin player to perform during the ceremony and he offered us a choice of musicians: violin, violin and cello, or all 3 (violin, cello and hammered dulcimer). We were delighted to have all 3 play for the ceremony---
and they played beautifully.

Chris Grasso was very professional, very organized, and so easy to work with. He was always very quick to respond, as we made changes and added more musicians to the contract. We highly recommend contacting Chris Grasso to arrange the music for your wedding or other event--- and we highly recommend DC Fusion band and Anthem trio! They were so talented and flexible and fun to have at the wedding.

Such a vibe!

I went back and forth on a wedding band for what seemed like months because the music was so important to my husband and I. We didn't know if we wanted high-energy dance band or hipster folky rock. Chris was patient and understanding during that process and always answered my questions promptly, even when I was on the fence. When we eventually did go with DC FUSION - it was such a big decision that I was still nervous about it. But Chris has such a calm demeanor, even over email, that he made me feel at ease and confirmed with each interaction that I had picked the right band for our wedding. On the day - we got to see it in action. DC FUSION is indeed a high-energy dance band - but they have tons of range. Our first dance was to a swing-like number - that they absolutely killed. Our guests raved about how tight their sound was. and a week later many are still telling me their feet hurt from dancing so much. We also used them for our cocktail hour and ceremony music. I provided sheet music for the ceremony and the keyboardist was able to accommodate us even though it was an odd request. If you're looking for a wedding band that will keep the dance floor full, adaptable, and has a wide range - look no further than DC FUSION.

Great Band Great Manager

We had a great experience with Chris Grasso Music for our wedding. Chris Grasso was very responsive and accommodating during the planning process.
All of the musicians were excellent. Eric Waters played the guitar beautifully for our ceremony. DC Fusion preformed for the reception and absolutely killed it, could not have asked for a better wedding band.
Overall our experience with Chris Grasso music was exceptional and we would highly recommend them for your wedding!

A Truly Professional Musical Group

From the moment we found DC Fusion's amazing demo tape on-line, Chris Grasso has been instrumental in helping us plan our daughter's wedding reception. He responded quickly and clearly to every email and phone call, provided helpful advice on event timing and playlists, and was incredibly accommodating and patient as we worked to re-schedule the date and location of the reception during the pandemic. In the end, we cancelled the reception due to COVID concerns, but Chris refunded our entire deposit. His was the only company among all our vendors (venue, caterer, photographer, videographer, florist, etc.) to refund our deposit. We hope to re-book DC Fusion for another event in the future. In the meantime, we wish Chris, his incredible musicians, and his company all the best.

Stop your search now!!

DC Fusion provided the entertainment of the century at our wedding in January, and we were absolutely blown away. As a bride and groom, you're stretched pretty thin on your wedding day. As we paraded paraded through the hall of our venue attempting to greet all of our guests, we kept asking how things were going in the main ballroom. Every guest said "the dance floor is full and the band is amazing," which we expected them to say since we really liked what we saw from DC Fusion online. However, when we finally made it back into the ballroom and saw for ourselves what the band was doing on the dance floor, we were FLOORED. The floor was packed, the sax player was rocking out in the crowd, people were jumping and screaming... It was beyond words. DC Fusion played their heart and soul out and 100% made our wedding memorable for us and our guests. Amazing musical talent, all great musicians and vocalists. Fantastic mix of songs (including the two they learned for our first dance and parent dance) and really read the room perfectly. From the moment they played our first dance, to the final rendition of "Shout" to close us out, we were amazed by DC Fusion and highly recommend them as THE wedding band of DC. If you're reading this trying to pick a group to play your wedding, stop your search right now. DC Fusion is the only way to go.

Loved DC Fusion!

DC Fusion was such an amazing wedding band. I booked them for our July 13, 2019 wedding after only hearing their song samplings online, and I am so so happy we went with them. They are so talented! All their songs were wonderful, and their rendition of our first dance song (which they learned for the occasion) was perfect. Our guests loved them and kept telling us how great the band was—especially when the saxophonist came out on the dance floor! Everyone was dancing all night long. All communication with the band before the wedding was so helpful too. As one example, we didn’t want our first dance to last for the entire song so they suggested what was a natural break in the song so it would be about one minute and provided an MP3 file editing the song accordingly. They also made suggestions to our timeline that made everything flow much better than I had originally planned. I cannot recommend DC Fusion enough, we loved them so much!!

Chris performed at the MIX107.3FM Wedding In a Week yesterday and he was excellent! He played just the right mixture, volume, speed for the ceremony. I was privileged to sit next to him during the ceremony and he was on cue with the whole event. He did a great job coordinating/working with the wedding planner. Great job and great music!
