    Perfect 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.

    We 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...

    Best wedding band ever!

    We cannot say enough wonderful things about the Dave Macklin Band. They performed for our wedding on September 21st and they helped to make it an unforgettable night. Irene made the process so seamless and did an amazing job helping us to curate a playlist for our ceremony, cocktail hour and reception. Everybody from our wedding raved that the Dave Macklin Band created a great atmosphere for dancing all night long, they helped us throw the best party! 100% would book again, we highly recommend this band to all our friends and family and anyone looking to hire a band.

    Dave Macklin Band's reply:

    Thank you Hannah! It was a grand celebration and we were honored to be part of it. Glad everyone had a great time. Thank you for choosing us. Congratulations again!

    Can't wait to have them back!

    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!

    Best/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.

    Great 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!

    Dave Macklin Band's reply:

    Thank you very much Robyn! It was truly our pleasure and honor to be part of your special day! Best wishes from all of us!

    HIRE 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!!!

    Dave Macklin Band's reply:

    Thank you so much Sarah! We are so happy for you and pleased that we were able to make your wedding day so memorable and fun! You were pretty darn good on that Etta James song yourself!!!!

    Fantastic Wedding Band!

    Dave Macklin Band played at our wedding in March 2025 and I could not recommend them more. They were absolutely fantastic! They brought the energy all night and created an unforgettable experience. The dance floor was full and our guests couldn’t stop talking about the performance. The band manager, Irene, was quick to respond to any questions and made coordination throughout the entire process easy. They accommodated our smaller size venue without a problem. We are so thankful for DMB! Highly recommend!

    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.

    Dave Macklin Band's reply:

    Excellent time! Thank you so much for the invite and for your hospitality and thank you for leaving us a great review.

    Hope to perform for all of you soon!

    Best, Irene and the band.

    Best Band Ever!

    Dave,Irene and the band were amazing ---- just the greatest band and the greatest to deal with! They played at my daughter's large wedding last month and they had everyone up dancing the whole time- even the few people who don't typically dance. I have been to a million weddings and other events and this was by far the best band I have seen. If you want a high energy band, pick The Dave Macklin Band. I am still getting compliments about them. They are also so easy to deal with in all the planning before-- very responsive, very warm, and very professional. We are just so happy they played at their wedding. They are the absolute best!

    Great band!!

    We have had two other big birthday parties with a band, and each band was the talk of the town for years afterwards.

    The Dave Macklin Band continued that tradition by providing really great music from a really great band, this time for our 140th birthday party. So many people have mentioned to us how great the band was.

    Thank you to all the musicians, and an extra big thanks to you Irene, for being so professional and easy to work with. We will pencil you in for our 200th birthday party in July of 2049!!!!

    Absolute Perfection

    Dave and the band played at my wedding a few weeks ago and I have not stopped receiving compliments about them!! Every single person absolutely loved them! We saw the band play at a local venue a year ago and we were absolutely impressed. My incredibly picky fiancé (now husband) was smitten. I inquired on a limb about their prices and availability and I was ecstatic with the results! Their music persuaded even my least social/dance-y relatives to get out on the dance floor and have a blast. The interactions with Irene and the band are nothing but professional and accommodating, the performance is outstanding, the music is friendly for all ages, and the joy they include in your day is irreplaceable. Thank you so much for making our day perfect!!

    Great dance band!

    We just hired the Dave Macklin band for a New Year's party. They had everyone dancing all night long. Great folks to deal with. Very accommodating, easy to work with and just overall nice people. And of course graest music!!!

    Dave Macklin Band's reply:

    Thank you very much Mary! You threw a great party and we are glad all your guests, including the man of honor, had a great time! It was our pleasure!

    I am not being biased because this was my wedding but this band was one of the best I have ever herd! We never saw them in person before the wedding just watched YouTube videos.Very reasonably priced and so talented! They played all the songs I wanted and did such an amazing job, engaged the crowd and all of our guests commented on how great the band was! They even broke out in Italian Opera! I highly highly recommend!

    Dave Macklin Band's reply:

    Stopping by to say Thank you very much Amelia! The pleasure was all ours! Best wishes from all of us!

    The Dave Macklin Band was suggested to us by my mother in law and shortly after we decided to go out and see them in person. We decided that night they were the band for us and booked for our September wedding. We also had them provide violin and piano for our ceremony. They exceeded our expectations in every way from start to finish. The energy created by the band is just not comparible to a DJ and it kept everyone on the dance floor moving! Thank you again DMB for making our wedding day so special! Mr. & Mrs. Souza

    You will NOT regret hiring the Dave Macklin Band for your event, especially your wedding. One of the most important aspects of our wedding we knew would be the band and the Dave Macklin Band did not disappoint. We went to listen to them a couple times before booking them for our wedding. Each time we went to listen the blew us away. Irene, their manager, and Dave's wife is super easy to work with. And they are extremely affordable, which is always a plus! The band is all around unbelievable. Their voices are unbelievable and really make the night something special. Dave and Gisela have amazing voices - voices that will have your guests talking for weeks afterward....

    The Dave Macklin Band played for my wedding on Sept. 3, 2017 they were fantastic, so many people came up to us and called after wedding asking the name of band and to say how they were so good. Their voices and songs were as good as you would ever here in any band. Irene was great to deal with, always getting right back to you when you had a question. I highly recommend this band to anyone, you will be so happy you had them play at any event. I really can't say enough about them they were truly amazing. Andrea

    DMB was tremendous in helping us plan our wedding reception, and in playing three unbelievable sets for us and our guests. We can't wait to go see them again, and hire them too if we have the opportunity. Couldn't have asked for better music or played by a better group.

    Dave Macklin Band MADE our wedding day! Working with Irene was easy - she was very responsive and flexible with our needs. I asked for the band to provide sound at our outside ceremony and they went out of their way to accommodate our requests. They had everyone dancing from start to finish! I still have people asking me where I found them! Worth every penny we saved for them! I couldn't have been happier with the amazing dance music they chose to play. Each musician was extremely talented and skilled. If you're reading this and shopping for the best wedding or event band, look no further! DMB is the BEST!

    Just go ahead and book them right now- it will be the best decision you make! The Dave Macklin Band played at my wedding this past weekend and completely MADE the party. From the beginning they were easy to work with, attentive, and even learned special songs for us. You will not find a better wedding band and we will definitely hire them again and again for other parties. Our guests raved about the band and we are still getting compliments about them days later. They had the crowd dancing all night. We can't wait to see them again!

One week before my wedding the person who was suppose to sang my song A moment like this told me she could not any more. The Dave Macklin Band step right up and sang my song!! My wedding by far was the best wedding I ever been too!! And all thanks to the Dave Macklin Band!! I would so hire them again!! Love this band they had my cocktail hour live!!

    Where should I begin about this band?? They're amazing. The lead singer is incredible. When she sang Whitney, she sounded just like her. When she sang Mariah, she hit the high notes even better. When she sang Rihanna, you'd think that Rihanna was standing right in front of you. The band members were so energetic. You can tell they really love what they do. They weren't going through the motions, they were actually smiling and having fun playing together, and that makes all the difference when it comes to engaging the audience. GET THEM!

    Dave Macklin Band's reply:

    Thank you so much Carissa for such an amazing review and for having us and your hospitality. We all had a blast and Yes, that is Gisela Johnson and she IS incredible!!!
