Absolutely Amazing

Dat Band is amazing. Chad was professional from the first conversation. He listened to what my daughter(s) wanted and gave great feedback. The band is awesome at reading the party vibe and keeping everyone on the dance floor. They interact with the guests on the dance floor and keep everyone hyped up. We contracted with Dat Band in 2019 for my oldest daughters wedding, her best friend contracted with them in 2021, and we just contracted again with them for my youngest daughters wedding. I can assure you live music is the way to go and Dat Band can bring that to your next event. They won’t disappoint. Thanks Dat Band for amazing wedding receptions for both of my daughters.

Our experience was wonderful and more than we expected.

Dat Band was everything we asked for and so much more than we expected. The music was amazing, absolutely the best band I’ve heard at a wedding. The singers were wonderful…. They sang with non-stop energy all night and were engaged with guests from the beginning to the very end. They even gave the bride and groom a celebrity name and had the whole place chanting it between songs. Chad was great to work with ahead of time and very easy to contact. He was very responsive with pricing and options. The band honored the requested playlist perfectly and played a wide ride of music that appealed to everyone. I would hire Dat Band for any event in the future, especially another wedding. I highly recommend Dat Band based on the music, the fun and energy they brought, the range of music played, the ease of working with them, and the price.
