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!

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 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!
