UPDATE:
Just had my wedding on June 4, 2021, after rescheduling THREE times (thanks covid...)! The whole time Jon, Dan, and the group were amazing! They were super responsive and flexible with all of the changes. They were also super helpful with the planning and timeline, then at the wedding, they kept everything running super smooth! Everything was PERFECT!
I had guests coming up to me during the night and even after telling me how amazing the band was! They even learned two songs for me and Mike, which they pulled off flawlessly!
They provided uplighting which added to the atmosphere.
HIRE THEM! You will NOT regret it! They really made my and Mike's wedding PERFECT and I cannot thank them enough!!
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!

Amazing Experience Despite Last Minute Changes
Wow I can't say enough about how much we loved the experience that the Dan McGuire Group provided for our wedding day. They dealt with incredible adversity and put on one of the best wedding performances I've ever experienced! I would recommend them 1000 times over.

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.
