A Omar Sent on 12/02/2024A Spectacular Wedding Band Experience with the Dave Macklin Band
We had the absolute pleasure of having the Dave Macklin Band perform at our wedding, and they were nothing short of extraordinary. From our first interaction with them to the final song of the night, their professionalism, talent, and dedication to excellence shone through at every step.
From the beginning, the band went above and beyond to ensure we were confident in our decision. They even invited us to see one of their live performances at a local bar, giving us the chance to experience their energy, musicality, and stage presence firsthand. That thoughtful gesture showed how much they care about their clients and their craft, and it made the decision to hire them an easy one.
Their performance on our wedding day exceeded all expectations. They masterfully blended the songs from our playlist with their own incredible repertoire, crafting a musical journey that resonated with both us and our guests. Every moment was filled with energy, joy, and seamless transitions that kept everyone engaged and dancing the night away.
The vocalists were captivating, and the instrumentalists showcased remarkable skill and synchronization. The Dave Macklin Band didn’t just play music—they created an experience. Whether it was our emotional first dance, the lively dance floor sets, or the more subtle dinner music, they perfectly tailored their performance to match the mood and keep the celebration vibrant.
Equally impressive was their professionalism throughout the process. They were responsive, accommodating, and a dream to work with. On the wedding day, they arrived early, set up efficiently, and worked seamlessly with our other vendors. Their level of preparation and attention to detail ensured everything went off without a hitch.
Our guests couldn’t stop raving about the band, with many saying it was one of the best live performances they’d ever seen at a wedding. We couldn’t agree more—it felt like a private concert that made our special day unforgettable.
To the Dave Macklin Band: thank you for being such an integral part of our wedding. Your talent, professionalism, and heart left an indelible mark on our celebration. We’ll cherish the memories of your incredible performance for years to come.
If you’re looking for a wedding band that will elevate your event and leave your guests raving, the Dave Macklin Band is the clear choice. Highly, highly recommended! -

The Dave Macklin band were the best decision we made for our wedding! Dave's voice sold us, the bands energy made us dance and Irene's management made it so easy!
Do yourself a favor and book them before it's too late. Our guests are still talking about them!
Also, make sure you add the horns, TOTALLY WORTH IT!
We saw them in person prior to booking for our wedding and my (now) husband said within 15 seconds "OK IM SOLD!" What a great time :) -

I'm so pleased we booked the Dave Macklin Band for our car show in Central Falls. The band members arrived on time, and Irene was very easy to coordinate with. I would definitely book the Dave Macklin Band again. -

Working with the Dave Macklin band was a wonderful experience!! They were responsive and helpful throughout the planning process. The pianist learned special arrangements for our ceremony which was amazing and the jazz trio at cocktail hour sounded fantastic! The highlight was the full band at our reception. They brought the energy and fun and were so talented. I stayed on the dance floor the entire night because they were so good and so much fun. Everyone has been raving about the band and the Dave Macklin band was truly the highlight of our wedding. Thank you!! -

Frank Sent on 03/24/2025Perfect Wedding Band!
Dave Macklin Band performed at our wedding in March 2025, and couldn't have been better. Irene was great to work with throughout the entire process and always made herself available for our questions and requests. The band was perfect and the dance floor was packed all night. Great performers, wide range of music, and incredible energy. Our guests could not stop talking about DMB and all the fun. Couldn't recommend any more. -

Tayla Sent on 11/13/2024We are so happy we chose this band for our wedding!
We saw many wedding bands perform while we were scouting for the perfect band for our big day and it was obvious that Dave Macklin outperformed all the other bands we saw. Originally seeing them in Boston on St. Paddy’s Day was a fantastic experience. It was evident they could keep the crowd engaged and had our wedding guests dancing all night! The male vocalist is incredible, and if you’re on the fence, add the horn section!! They even let my sister-in-law sing a few songs and worked well with my father-in-law, who joined in on the saxophone. Most importantly, when planning a wedding, correspondence is an absolute must, and the band manager, Irene, was a true delight to work with. She was very prompt and detailed when it came to putting it all together. I’m extremely pleased and satisfied with their service and performance. The price is right, and I highly recommend them for your next event! -

Fuller Village has featured the Dave Macklin Band for the past several summers as the headliner of our summer concert series. They are a high energy, talented group with a long and diverse playlist. They had everyone on the dance floor the whole night! Can't wait
to have them back! -

4th of July at “Staycation”
We were fortunate to have the “Dave Macklin Band” perform at our 4th of July Party entertaining our 50 + friends and family around the pool. Not a minute of rest, great music, Disco, R&B, Reggae, that kept everyone dancing from their first number throughout their entire performance. We can’t say enough, they give 100%, great personalities and talent over the top will make any party an unforgettable experience. I had the pleasure to join Dave on stage. -

Victoria Sent on 11/08/2019Best/easiest choice we made for our wedding
From the first time we saw them we knew we needed them to be our wedding band! They were exactly what we were looking for. They are so incredibly talented for starters, never mind the vibe they give! Everyone was on the dance floor the entire night. My wedding was 2 months ago and people are still talking about them! I would highly recommend you hire them if you want a night to remember. Irene Dave and Keon were all fantastic to work with. We will continue to go see them at appearances around the Boston area. We couldn't be happier, they were amazing in every aspect. -

Robyn Sent on 10/29/2018Great experience with DMB!
I booked Dave Macklin Band without ever seeing them live, and I'm so glad I took the chance and did. The music (for both ceremony and reception) was perfect; I wouldn't have changed a thing. They were professional, responsive throughout booking, and so much fun. I would highly recommend them! -

Sarah Sent on 08/15/2017HIRE THIS BAND FOR YOUR WEDDING. They were absolutely amazing to work with, even learning brand new songs to perform for our first dances. But on top of that, they are INCREDIBLY talented. We are both musicians (and many of our friends/family are as well) so our standards were really high, and they did not disappoint! From the singers to every instrumentalist, I've never heard a better wedding band. The dance floor was packed all night and everyone was singing along. Their set list was perfect. Their charisma was awesome. The Dave Macklin Band MADE our wedding -- thanks to them for an incredible experience!!! -

A huge shoutout to The Dave Macklin Band — they absolutely rocked our Fourth of July celebration! 🎶💥 They had every one of our patriots up and dancing, texting, and sending pics non-stop for days after the party. 📸💃
This was their second Fourth of July with us, and once again, they did not let us down. From start to finish, they brought the energy and heart — and even stuck around for the final line of the battle! So grateful to have them back — they made the night unforgettable. 🇺🇸🎸 Charlene and Ron -

Mary Sent on 07/27/2018The Dave Macklin Band played our wedding on 7/21 at the Thompson Inn in Durham, NH. We decided to do the 8-piece band with added horns section and they did an amazing job! Having a band was one of the most important aspects of our wedding. We didn't want to break the bank and that's hard to find when looking for a good band. Then we found DMB - and their price was right! We saw the Dave Macklin Band twice before our wedding - and they are truly awesome performers. They were easy to communicate with through the whole process. Irene, the band manager/Dave's wife, did a great job keeping us informed and updated. She did a great job creating a set-list. Literally everyone at our wedding RAVED about the band and how AMAZING Gisela & Kion were as singers and what a fantastic guitarist Dave is. We are so glad we went with DMB. They were affordable, high-energy and definitely MADE the wedding! Thanks again!! -
