    The talk of the wedding!

    The #1 feedback we got from the wedding was how great the band was, and we couldn't agree more!

    Great wedding band

    Perfect wedding band. Exactly what we were looking for. Great music, easy to work with, good price, very responsive, and got the crowd involved. Couldn’t recommend more.

    The Mike Dalton Band's reply:

    thank you so much, guys, best of luck to you !
    It was absolute pleasure playing for you and your family and friends!
    Mike and the band

    made our wedding band dreams come true!

    The Mike Dalton Band was AMAZING! They brought the best energy and had everyone hyped and dancing the whole night - our guests didn't leave the dance floor! They played a ton of classic hits, but not your average "classic wedding songs" which we LOVED! Everyone raved about them and couldn't get enough. We didn't want the night to end! They were also so professional and kind, they worked so well with us to make sure we got exactly what we wanted - an epic party!! We recommend to anyone and everyone - you won't be disappointed!

    The Mike Dalton Band made our wedding unforgettable.

    It has been over two months since our wedding and the #1 comment we hear from guests to this day is "the band was amazing!"

    When planning a wedding, you can't have every single thing that you want (unless you have an unlimited budget of course), so you have to pick and choose what you care about. We REALLY cared about the music. It was really important to us to have a great band and a lively dance floor. The Mike Dalton Band did exactly that. They were unbelievable. They brought the energy of a night out on the Jersey Shore - what's better than that?? I often go to weddings where young people are on the dance floor and older people are sitting and watching - we didn't want that. The Mike Dalton band has such an awesome selection of music - every single person was on the dancefloor.

    I also want to emphasize that Mike is an awesome person to work with. Planning a wedding is a huge deal and I think it's so important to pick vendors that you like and are easy to work with. Mike was extremely responsive and accommodating through the entire process. I highly recommend his band to any couple.

    Dec 2021 Wedding with the Mike Dalton Band

    We originally booked the Mike Dalton Band in 2019 for our 2020 wedding. When our wedding was postponed, Mike was flexible and accommodating. We finally had our wedding in December 2021 and the Mike Dalton Band was great - between the band and DJ, there was a great variety of music, our guests danced all night, and we received so many compliments on the band. One of our guests even inquired about booking them for their upcoming event. Everyone had a great night - some of my favorite moments were our first dance, sung by Mike, and everyone dancing to the crowd favorites.

    MDB Killed it

    We hired MDB for our wedding and we couldn’t have been more pleased with the job they did. Not only did they have our guests dancing all night, We had so many people coming up to us and telling us how great the band was. They play a wide arrange of music and if there was something specific we wanted to have played that they didn’t play, they also had a DJ that could play anything we wanted. At the end of our wedding, our guests were chanting “One more song, one more song!!!”. I’d recommend MDB to anyone looking for a band for their wedding. You won’t go wrong with them.

    Best Wedding Band!

    My fiancé and I were looking for a band that did a mix of classic rock, EDM and a few pop songs. Mike was great to work with and had all the songs we wanted. They were perfect and our guests are still raving!

    Amazing band, amazing night!

    The Mike Dalton Band was absolutely amazing at our wedding. The music was incredible. Mike and the band had our guests dancing non stop all night. Mike was also incredibly easy to work with when we were planning our special night. He did everything we asked of him and the band in terms of music choices, timelines, etc. The whole crew never missed a beat. I can’t say enough about these guys. We are forever grateful to them for being so awesome and for playing such an incredible night of music for us and our guests.

    Amazing Band!

    The Mike Dalton Band was the best decision we made for our wedding, they were AWESOME and made the night extra special and fun. So many people were blown away and asking where we found them. The DJ was great too, and so was the female singer! We also had them play acoustic guitar at the ceremony and piano for cocktail hour. Every part of it was amazing. We added the horns for the reception as well which I highly recommend. Everyone had so much fun and danced all night. Aside from all the fun, Mike was so so great to work with from day one. Super friendly, accommodating and responsive to all of our many requests. Price was extremely reasonable too, well worth it. I would highly recommend the Mike Dalton Band for any event – you won’t be disappointed!

    Mike Dalton Band is amazing!

    We had the “lovely” experience of planning/rescheduling a wedding during the pandemic which is stressful enough on it’s own, but with certain vendors can be a nightmare. We originally planned to get married in June of 2020 in Asbury Park, but were forced to reschedule 5x over the next 1.5 years and our band being our most expensive vendor, was one of our top priorities and during each of these date changes. Mike himself was in constant contact with me, answering pretty much immediately every time we reached out and made the rescheduling as seamless as it could be. Extenuating circumstances caused us to have to cancel our contract with our Asbury Park venue and we decided to have it closer to our home in NYC. Mike was very understanding throughout the move and was very accommodating despite the travel they now had to do as a Jersey Shore band. Our newest date was for December of 2021 and Mike as well as his DJ reached out to me several times leading up to the event to make sure we were all good and to update our requests and schedules. With NYC now having a vaccine mandate for all restaurants and catered events, we were worried this might cause some issues with the band seeing as New Jersey does not have a mandate. But once again Mike went above and beyond to immediately assure me that he was going to make it work. After a few days he was able to get an entire 10 piece band able to satisfy all requirements, and make sure that everyone would feel comfortable and safe. At this point they could have performed terribly on our day and I still would have been grateful enough for their understanding, empathy and great communication during COVID, but of course they were amazing and facilitated a wild and crazy dance floor necessary for our crazy and wild families. After the wedding all of our guests wouldn’t stop talking about how great the band was and how much fun they all had. If you are at all worried about the craziness of COVID or locking in any vendors I would highly recommend Mike Dalton Band as I don’t think we would have been able to make our day finally happen without them.

    Amazing band!

    The Mike Dalton Band was everything we could have asked for!! They were perfect during the ceremony and at the reception it was out of this world! They kept everyone on the dance floor, our guests were super impressed as were we! Mike was also super helpful during the planning process and was always quick to answer any questions we had as well as make sure we had everything we wanted. They not only did a wonderful job on our wedding song, but they also learned both of our parents wedding songs to help make the day even more special! Thank you guys so so so much!!!!

    The Mike Dalton Band's reply:

    Thanks so much guys !! What a great wedding crowd you all were, thanks for having us, and I hope I see you soon !!!!

    The Best Band!!!

    The Mike Dalton band was the best decision we made for our wedding! They made our reception so much fun, and the dance floor was packed the entire night. Weeks later people are still asking us about the band; not to mention the horns section, female singer, and DJ were all awesome awesome. Leading up to our wedding mike was super helpful and was really quick to answer any questions. He truly exceeded all of our expectations!

    Exceeds expectations

    Mike and the band were seriously amazing and made my wedding night the party it was. People were dancing the whole night and couldn’t stop asking who the band was and where we found them! They worked with us super closely leading up to the wedding and made sure everything was set for the day of! Also Mike was a rockstar and so flexible and willing to work with us on the cost even though we didn’t ask! Lastly if you have the means and the option too... DEFINITELY hire the horns and the female singer. We had that at our wedding and let me tell you they were a hit. I mean seriously I couldn’t stop smiling from ear to ear and my guests are still raving about the wedding band!

    Blown Away!

    Wow I can't say enough about the job these guys did. Going into the process we did some research and loved their sound and song list but they beyond words exceeded all of our expectations. We had an absolute blast with them and have been getting bombarded with messages on how much all of our guests loved them since the wedding! They we so professional and accommodating, even able to switch things around on the fly last minute. They worked perfectly with our videographer. Most imporantly they had our dance floor rocking all night! Can't recommend these guys enough.

    Best band ever!

    The Mike Dalton Band is absolutely, hands down, phenomenal!! They will make your wedding everything you ever dreamed of. Period. Everyone was on the dance floor the entire night and everyone could not stop raving about them. Each person I have talked to about our wedding has mentioned them and asked for their name again. A great band was a priority, we put so much time and effort into finding the best one, and we did. We grew up on the Jersey Shore, we know what’s out there, and you will not get better. They are energetic, personable, amazing musicians who obviously love what they do. Mike has a voice unlike any other. He is also the nicest person and so accommodating. He goes out of his way to help you in any way, which is especially impressive considering how busy their schedule is. He added a great female vocalist, three horns, and recommended a string trio, which we wanted for our ceremony (Ceremonious Strings- also great!) and handled all of the planning with them. It was one less thing we had to worry about during the planning. BOOK THEM NOW BEFORE IT’S TOO LATE!!

    Mike,
    I want to send you this note because you and your band were the absolute best at my daughter Alyssa’s wedding! I cannot believe how many people that attended came up to me to tell me how fabulous you and your band were. My family and I agree that you “made the wedding a spectacular event.” Your sound was awesome and song selection was perfect. Again, thanks, because you made a great wedding spectacular! George Amann

    Wonderful Band

    The band was incredible! The guests loved them and they were very accommodating of our musical requests and even had the DJ play Indian music for the groom's family. The band also provided a screen for pictures in the background. They also were very communicative all the way up to the wedding day. I am so happy we decided to go with this band!

    Stop wasting time looking further and book Mike Dalton Band for your next event.

    What a night! As we were making our rounds and saying hello at our wedding, everyone who knew who you guys said what a perfect choice for a band. Anyone who didn't was asking who you guys were and how they can get in contact for future events. You guys rocked in every sense of the word and I hope you guys enjoyed the night as much as we did.

    From beginning to end you were top notch and we will be recommending you to anyone asking about entertainment. All of our requested songs were played, you kept us informed of anything we weren't aware of and the itinerary that was sent prior to the big day was a great tool to make sure everything was covered. We honestly can't say enough about the whole experience.

    The best way we can think of to explain how great the Mike Dalton Band is....from here on out, we will be checking the dates page at mikedalton.com to figure out which bar we will be visiting on any night out!

    From the bottom of our hearts...THANK YOU!

    New Years Eve Wedding

    First, we were so happy to learn Mike had NYE open for us to book which is unheard of, but it was meant to be and they exceeded our expectations! All night everyone was telling us what great songs they were playing, and his DJ was fantastic too! You can't put a price on your special day.. and remember, you get what you pay for! We highly recommend The Mike Dalton Band!!!

    What a band!

    If it was possible to give more than 5 stars we would. My fiancé and I got married last night and we are still in complete awe with the performance of the Mike Dalton Band. Not only was the music OUTSTANDING, but they set the scene for the entire night. The line of the night from everyone of our guests was “WHAT A BAND!”. Outside of the performance Mike was a pleasure to work with. He accommodated all of our requests, and genuinely got us excited for our special day which went beyond just providing customer service. If you are looking for any advice for your special day here it is, BOOK THE MIKE DALTON BAND. Mike thank you for making our wedding what it was. Cheers!

    One smart decision...

    Hiring The Mike Dalton Band for my daughter’s wedding easily goes down as the best decision I made in 2018. So great to work with from the very beginning until the echo of the nights last note faded out. Above and beyond, polite, patient and super responsive. Mike & band learned some special songs for all of us and played them beautifully. Horns were amazing and really brought the house down on Springsteen’s Born to Run and Rosalita. I totally came off as a hero for hiring Mike and you will too when you choose them to play your wedding.

    Mike Dalton - best of the best!

    We were planning our wedding back in May of 2017. We had begun seeing local bands and just when we thought we found them, we met Mike Dalton and his band playing at the Wharf in Pt Pleasant. That was it for us! Hearing him sing our favorite songs sealed it for us. Not to mention his band is great too. After that day we became Mike Dalton Band groupies and have since. He is a true professional, gentleman, and he and his band members went out of their way for my wife and I. We even had to change our wedding date and Mike was super about accommodating the need. We would highly recommend Mike and his band for your event and we will absolutely hire him again for our parties.
