Best Entertainment Experience
Dan McGuire Group was one of the best guitarist and DJs we have ever experienced at a wedding. As the Bride and Groom they worked with us prior with several easy questionnaires they provided, so the day of went smoothly. Highly recommend Dan playing guitar during the ceremony and cocktail hour. Our DJ John was professional and fun all at the same time. Any time people were leaving the dance floor, a remix would happen and a new song would play for everyone to stay on the dance floor. Dan McGuire Group was very easy to work with even during a COVID wedding venue change.

Best Acoustic and DJ Combo!
Booking the Dan McGuire Group for our wedding was the best decision we made all wedding planning! Dan and Jon were so organized, responsive, and professional throughout the whole process. Dan was incredible for cocktail hour and Jon is the most incredible DJ I’ve ever heard. I have never seen a dance floor so packed for a wedding! They are so amazing to work with and couldn’t ask for anything better!

Totally Awesome!
Just booked The Dan McGuire group for our wedding in May of 2020! So excited to have them play at our wedding. First discovered them at a bar in Frederick, from that first time seeing them perform my friends and I have loved their energy and talent!

They have been amazing about being in contact with me and my fiance. They have great ideas on their contract, are willing to answer all questions, quick with responding, and are totally willing to work to make our wedding request/dreams come true!
On top of the guys being a talented band, but for weddings they travel with an expert wedding DJ to keep the guest moving and interested all night long!
Can't wait for our wedding and to dance the night away to the talent of The Dan McGuire Group!
