The First Call We Made When We Got Engaged

Dannis and DWP Live Factory are the (un)Official Wedding Band of our friend group. After seeing them play first at a friends wedding in 2017, we've seen them at no fewer than FIVE other friends weddings since then. When we got married, it was a no brainer - before we even set the date or chose the venue, we reached out to Dannis. And, completely unsurprisingly, they brought the house down. They are the best.

Spectacular!

First of all, I'm not an easy person to impress but I will have to say DWP Live Factory was INCREDIBLE!!! We had DWP performed at our wedding in 2019 and it was the BEST decision we made. So many guests asked for their information after the wedding and many of them said that it was the best band they had ever seen. My husband and I will definitely hire them again for future events. You won't be disappointed!!!

Amazing experience!!

I've LOVED this band for many years since seeing them perform at an NYC bar. It was a dream come true to have them play at my wedding. Everyone at the wedding loved them and didn't expect such amazing entertainment. The talent is beyond belief and Frontman/CEO Dannis Winston is the nicest guy you'll ever meet. Much love to DWP live factory 🤎🤎

Best Part of Wedding

We loved DWP! Having a live band was important to us and dang did they deliver! We had multiple compliments from our guests about them too. They did amazing covers and the switch to a DJ for later was a solid choice too. Highly recommend! They are talented and passionate!

Amazing band!

Look no further!!! Every single guest was on the dancefloor - dancing with the singers, scream-singing to the BEST hits, wow’d by the modt insane saxophone player EVER, and telling us for over a year just how amazing our dancefloor was!!!

Dannis and his team were incredible from the start. We discussed our wants, dreams and ideas on music selection, dancefloor vibe, timeline, etc. with Dannis. Not only did he dream with us, but he worked with us so intentionally to make our vision come to life that we were blown away. We knew we had to book DWP! The band coordinated with our venue, and everything was seamless. Dannis even went as far as to put together an ensemble that we had seen at another wedding (that was special), cordially discussed pricing, and helped us have the absolute best day EVER. The band went as far as to ask what vibe for dress! How fun to have them rocking out in black tie with us! I will never forget the best night ever, and the seamless experience with DWP as a vendor. 10 stars!!!!

Booking DWP LiveFactory is a no-brainer! They are the best.

Dannis and the DWP team are incredible, and we couldn’t recommend them enough. He took the time to meet with us ahead of our wedding, listen intently, and helped to consult/advise us on our ceremony music selections. Guests still comment on our ceremony, and we know the DWP music set the most incredible tone/vibe for our day. We wanted a few “mash ups” of songs in our ceremony, and Dannis was all over it and made it better than we could expect. We really admire the talent of their team of artists, and recommend to anyone considering using!
Post wedding, Dannis and team have continued to be great friends; we have sent multiple friends to them who also have had an incredible experience. They are creative, have so many talented musicians and truly are the best to work with!! Guests will adore their sounds!

Better Than We Could Have Imagined

Dannis & DWP Live Factor were amazing to work with. Dannis was extremely professional and wanted to help make our wedding feel as unique and personal as possible from the musical perspective. The band was incredible, from the acoustic cocktail hour covers to the mashed up custom songs they performed for us during our reception. I can't recommend them enough. A true concert feeling with a very custom experience. Thanks, Dannis!!

The Best Wedding Band

We got married at the Park Chateau October 20, 2021. We really wanted a band for our wedding and our wedding planner recommended DWP Live Factory. After reviewing their portfolio of events and consulting with the band leader, Dannis Winston, we decided to book them for our special day. Dannis was easy to work with and really helped us curate a musical selection for the day based on our interest. He was also very patient and understanding since our wedding had been postponed twice due to COVID. We hired the full 9 piece band and it was the best decision. We had the saxophonist lead guests into the chapel pre-ceremony, which set the tone for what was to come on this beautiful day. Dannis has an incredible voice, he sang “This Is Why I Love You” by Major during the ceremony as I walked down the aisle. He also sang during the reception and literally stole the show. The band played a great selection of music for all of our guests to enjoy and then we had the DJ take over the towards the end of the night. Our guest really enjoyed the ambiance and everyone asked about the band and spoke so much positive praise. I can’t wait to relive these moments again when we receive our wedding video. I would highly recommend their services.

Best Wedding Band!

We first saw DWP Live Factory at a friend's wedding, and my husband (boyfriend at the time) looked at me and said "When we get married, we NEED to have this band." A year later we were planning our own wedding and we got Dannis' contact information and reached out in hopes they'd be available! To say that they made the wedding amazing would be an understatement. Everything from the ceremony string trio, to the cocktail hour band, to the reception band was incredible. The guests haven't stopped commenting on how amazing the music was, and they really set the right tone for every part of the day! Dannis spent time with my husband and I going over all our must-haves and favorite tunes leading up to the wedding, and he really understood the vibe we were going for. We were so happy to have live music at our wedding, and the ambiance, vocals, and instruments were perfect. They are a FANTASTIC wedding band and we're so thankful for them they made our day so special!

Outstanding

Dannis and the DWP Live Factory were beyond amazing. I missed dessert because I couldn’t get off the dance floor. The entire night my guests came up to me raving about the band.

Beyond the amazing music, Dannis brought to life my vision of blending Jamaican and Jewish cultures. His music ranged enough to get everyone on the dance floor. he did a killer Horah, performed reggae music and even incorporated in carnival dancers. I can’t believe how well executed it was.

I can’t rave more about him. He’s wonderful and his band was amazing.

If you are considering a band lock him in, you won’t regret it !
