    DLCB is the best!!

    Dexter Lake Club Band is absolutely incredible. From the beginning, they were super easy to work with, very responsive and happy to jump on a call to chat. On our wedding day, they smashed it! It felt like we were at a rock and roll concert and we all danced the night away. They will work with you to ensure all the songs you want to hear are played and will happily learn up to 5 songs, which they knocked out of the park. Thank you DLCB for making our day so special!

    Dexter Lake Club Band - Unforgettable in Every Way!

    Our son and daughter-in-law were recently married at a beautiful spot in Stone Ridge NY in the Hudson Valley. The wedding weekend was truly perfect, and if there is an adjective more superlative than perfect, I would use it for the DLC Band! We're a pretty musical family, and were extremely pleased we found them; their training, bios, experience and videos were a real cut above others. But when we heard them warming up before the wedding ceremony... to a person, we all found each other to exclaim some version of - "DID YOU HEAR THE BAND?!?" They are true artists and professional in every way, and their joy amplified our joy. Their renditions of legendary pieces were extraordinary and absolutely everyone 19-90 was dancing into the night. Countless wedding guests continue to remark on the band - we could not have been happier or more grateful!!

    More than just a band for you wedding - truly the life of the party

    Dexter Lake Club absolutely made our wedding night - when planning our wedding we had reached out to several groups but none felt like the right fit, then we got on the phone with Jamie and knew this was the group for us! The band accommodated every single request, the pianist came a day early to play during our rehearsal dinner, a couple stayed late to jam on guitars during our after-party, and they learned multiple songs for us and knocked each one out of the park. Our only regret was not asking the venue to find a bigger dance floor because during the reception almost everyone was on their feet for hours! If you’re looking for a band we highly recommend!!

    The best party decision you'll make - period.

    The music for our wedding was hands down THE most important detail to my husband and I, and I can not emphasize enough how incredible Dexter Lake Club Band is. We wanted a party, it to feel like you were seeing a band on tour vs your run of the mill wedding band. Our wedding night was the absolute best evening of our lives and it truly would not have been the same without them. It has been four months, and our guests STILL have not stopped raving about the music. Everyone was blown away by their talent, the authenticity of the music, and the energy that the band brought to the crowd. No one wanted the music to end, so much so that the entire crowd chanted for an encore at the end of the night. It was truly incredible and such a dream for us. Booking Dexter Lake Club band is the best decision you'll make. We hope we get to see them live again soon!!!

    Hands down the BEST party band

    We had DLCB perform at our wedding on Oct. 8, 2022, in Boyce, VA. Once they started playing, the dance floor was packed for the rest of the evening. In addition to their incredible song list, they nailed all of our "special request" covers. Their talent and sound are unmatched. They know how to read a crowd and play the music that is going to keep the party going all night! Every guest agreed-- hands down the best wedding band they had ever seen. A must-book!!

    Best Party Band Ever

    DLCB played at our wedding on September 24th, and we have not stopped talking about how amazing they were since. DLCB seriously rocked the sh** out of our wedding and made the night the most epic party of our lives. Our only regret of the night is that we couldn't have had them play for longer. All of our guests raved that DLCB was the best band they have heard at any wedding / corporate event / or even live music bar. We couldn't agree more. This is a real rock band, not a corny wedding band, and they kept the dance floor packed all night, playing high energy song after high energy song. Beyond that, DLCB helped orchestrate the perfect flow throughout the entire wedding day - from the ceremony, to cocktail hour, to the reception and through dinner and speeches. They even surprised me with an announcement of my dress change, which made me feel like an absolute star. Additionally, DLCB and Jamie were so professional and easy to work with throughout the planning process and made us feel confident and excited every step of the way. We hope to see DLCB at some of our friends' weddings in the future and are dreaming about the next event we can throw with DLCB.

    Dexter Lake Club Band are the absolute best!!!

    DLC kindly flew all the way to Cody Wyoming for our ranch wedding. All of the guests agreed that the band and their epic performance was the complete wedding highlight. Jamie is incredibly responsive, kind and great to communicate with. Their song list couldn’t be better and the range of songs that they can perform is truly exceptional. They kept the party going and the dance floor entirely packed for their whole set. I’d recommend booking them asap as they are unsurprisingly in high, high demand. Thank you DLC for making our wedding all we could have hoped for and more.

    Amazing, customizable experience!

    Dexter Lake was phenomenal! They worked with us at every turn to create an evening that was totally tailored to what we were looking for. Their renditions of our selected songs were incredible - they really capture the original artists' sound while bringing their own unique style to your favorite hits. Everyone complimented them all night and had a blast dancing! Would definitely recommend.

    Such a talented group

    We couldn't speak more highly of Dexter Lake Club. Right off the bat, communication leading up to the wedding was such a straightforward and easy process. Then, the actual wedding day was terrific! The minute they started their set, our guests flocked to the dance floor and that energy kept going all night. Their song selection was spot on and we felt that they nailed every song they took on - especially those that we requested. Such a talented group! We had a blast at our wedding and are so thankful to the band!

    Most epic wedding band ever

    DLCB played at our wedding August 1 in the Hudson Valley and it was, in a word, epic. A friend recommended them to us after attending a wedding they played in Brooklyn and after hearing her rave and checking out their vibe and set list, we knew they would be the right fit. We were super excited to have a band and knew we wanted to veer more toward pop/modern covers and a fun dance party than the traditional wedding playlist, and they blew away any expectations I had. From the beginning, Jamie was articulate, thoughtful, communicative, and prompt. We scheduled an initial call to get to know each other and discuss details, and from there communicated via email any time I had questions and as we were putting together a playlist. Jamie had great recommendations for how to structure the run of show of the reception (multiple guests commented on how smooth it was) and were totally down with all our requests. During the ceremony, we had an acoustic setup, and then jazz during the cocktail hour. During the reception, Tim did a perfect job as a low-key, non-cheesy MC. After the planned dances, they launched into a rousing Jewish Hava Nagila that took things to the next level (as in, my 5'2" Catholic mother demanded that she also get lifted on a chair because it was that much fun). The reception dance party was probably the most fun I've ever had. They read the crowd perfectly and created the most insane dance party that culminated in multiple men tearing their shirts off as the entire crowd screamed the lyrics to Mr. Brightside (and then I Believe In a Thing Called Love). Our friends could not get over the band and talked about it for days. I want to get divorced just so I can have another wedding and be able to have them play again. They were amazing and cannot recommend them enough.

    The Most Amazing Band

    My husband and I wanted a band that gave us the feeling like we were at the bar with our friends, rocking out. Both of us loved going to going to hear bands at a bar in the city. We did not want a 12 -piece band that played the usual wedding fare. After looking and looking, we found Dexter Lake Club Band. Jaime, the point of contact, is amazing. He is really organized, easy to work with, and just a complete professional.

    We elected 80s cover music and our friends loved it. They shouted for a request. The highlight was Smells Like Teen Spirit and we all went nuts. They are worth every single penny and more. I wish we still lived in the city because I want to hang out with them they were that cool.

    Even the other wedding vendors were blown away by the band and posted video to their social media. That is how great they were.

    There is zero chance you will be disappointed if you are lucky enough to have them at your event.

    Fantastic.

    I work in the music business, and as such was super particular about who to hire for a wedding band. A colleague raved to me about Dexter Lake Club Band, and they genuinely exceeded all my expectations. A fantastic set that had everyone dancing, and the loveliest people to deal with in advance of the event. We tested their limits with requests (including quite possibly the only live rendition ever of Fergie's "London Bridge" ever to take place) and they blew everyone away. Thank you to Dexter Lake Club Band, will put you on hold for our kids bar mitzvot in 17 years.

    Greatest Wedding Band There Ever Was or Will Be

    My wife and I are big music fans and knew we wanted to have a band at our wedding. That said, after having been to so many weddings and seeing average bands that play the same songs, we knew we wanted to find the perfect band that embodied our relationship and the party that we wanted to throw with our friends and family to celebrate our love.

    Dexter Lake Club Band was hands down the greatest thing about our wedding. These guys f****** rock. Seriously. From the moment we met Jamie at a showcase in the city and heard them, we knew this was the band we wanted to play at our wedding to have our guests dance and party their asses off.

    Jamie and the group could not have been more professional, fun, enthusiastic, and amazing to work with. We had a small snafu with our original wedding date and had to move our wedding back three months and our biggest stressor was not the food, photographer, flowers, or anything, but ensuring the date lined up with DLCB’s availability. He knew we had to have them so our guests would hear the greatest wedding band there ever was.

    Most importantly, the group knew how to cater their song choices to the audience. There were moments at my own wedding I truly felt like we were at a concert. I was looking around a bunch and saw people yelling lyrics at the top of their lungs. DLCB learned 5 songs for us which brought the house down. And I’m confident that for the rest of our lives we’ll never forget the feeling of screaming the lyrics to All These Things That I’ve Done with hundreds of our closest friends as we slowly ascended from the ground during the bridge of the song.

    What. A. Night. My wife and I can’t thank each and every one of the members of DLCB for the energy and passion they brought to our most special night of our lives. My father-in-law even thanked each of them by first name during his Father-Of-The-Bride speech because of how badass this group is. Seriously. Five months later we still have people telling us that was the greatest band they’ve ever heard at a wedding and won’t forget that party. DLCB, we salute you.

    Best wedding band. Ever!

    We hired Dexter Lake Club for our May 2023 wedding and it was honestly one of the best things we have ever done. To this day, we still get compliments of how great they are. The entire party was dancing all night. They have an extremely unique knack of totally understanding the couple they are working with and playing EXACTLY what you want to hear. They are so insanely talented and fun. We have been to a couple weddings since then where DLC played and it was such a blast to see them again! Favorite people, favorite band, we are so insanely lucky that they were recommended to us.

    Dexter Lake Club is the go-to wedding band for us!

    Dexter Lake Club played for one daughter's wedding in 2014 and another daughter's wedding last month. Clearly we were satisfied the first time - and just as pleased this time. All genres, open to special requests, high energy, and . . . a delight to work with (which was especially important to me as the mother of the brides). Have one more daughter left to marry - and expect to be calling Jamie for her wedding as well!

    A must get!

    DLC is the wedding band you absolutely NEED to have at your reception! They are so awesome - I don't think there was a single minute of our night that the dance floor wasn't packed. They know exactly how to read the crowd and play what will be right in that moment. I am so happy we hired them and am really hoping someone I know will hire them too so I can go to another wedding with DLC!! They are responsive on email and were so flexible with us when we had to postpone our wedding. They are professional and super easy to work with! Highly highly recommend hiring Dexter Lake!!!

    Best Wedding Band Ever!

    All of my guests agreed that Dexter Lake Club Band was the best wedding band ever. We were up dancing from the first songs and hardly took a break to eat! The band is so good at creating a fun and welcoming energy and reading the room. Leading up to the wedding we gave them our suggested bands/genres that we liked. They did such a great job of curating the perfect song list. Multiple guests have asked us for their information because they were that good. Book this band you won't regret it!

    Dexter Lake is a MUST USE wedding vendor! We worked with them for our wedding in June 2018 and could not have been more thrilled. They are complete professionals - and keep the party going all night long. All of our guests were on the dance floor for three hours straight at our reception thanks to the genius song selection and up-beat music Jamie, Tim and the rest of DLCB featured. They also learned all of our first dance songs for our wedding, which made the evening that much more special!

    During the planning process, they were responsive, knowledgeable, and extremely helpful in crafting the perfect reception sequencing to make our wedding as much fun as possible. They exceeded all expectations we had for our night - and I would recommend them to anyone looking for a 10/10 wedding band!

    In a word... Phenomenal

    As a wedding band, there are none better than the Dexter Lake Club Band. Their energy, song selection, cooperativeness, and overall talent are top notch. They take requests, but also seemingly create their set list on the fly based on the energy of the room. They read the energy of the room better than any wedding band I have seen, which creates a terrific atmosphere that crescendos at exactly the right time. They also played incredible acoustic music during our ceremony. All-in-all, an absolute fantastic performance.

    They can play the oldies and modern songs, as well as a little bit of everything in between (my father-in-law is a DeadHead and they were able to play something for him) - and what they can't play they are willing to learn. Our friends and family still rave about their performance. They were an absolute pleasure to work with and were a huge part of why our wedding was so fun. If we had to do it all over again, I would move my wedding date to make sure they were available to play it.

    Best Wedding Band Ever

    Dexter Lake Club Band was recommended to us by our fabulous wedding planner, Arney Walker. We had never seen or heard them in person but we were assured they would be fabulous. Let me just say that they were the most incredible band ever and they exceeded all expectations. Not only are they highly talented, but also, they are professional, accommodating and easy to work with. I cannot say enough good things about them!

    The best wedding band in the tri-state

    Dexter Lake Club band was everything we could have dreamed of in a wedding band. Working with Jamie was extremely helpful. He gave great advice on how to make the reception run smoothly and how to keep people on the dance floor the whole night. They did not disappoint, our guests cannot stop talking about how great they were. They really care about the quality of work that they put out and we could not be happier with our choice. They were a major part of a night we will never forget.

    An amazing experience!! The absolute best!!!

    I cannot say enough about dexter lake club band! From the very beginning Jamie was always so quick to respond to any question or concern I had. They learned a few songs that we wanted, and absolutely killed it! They have such a long list of songs that they can sing and every single song they sung was amazing. They really know how to keep a party going, and get everyone on the dance floor. Our friends and family are still raving about them! I would hands down recommend dexter lake club band to everyone!

    Dexter Lake Club MADE our wedding

    Dexter Lake Club Band is unlike any wedding band you have heard or seen before. nothing short of incredible! If you want your wedding to be an unforgettable celebration filled with the best music and non-stop dancing, Dexter Lake Club is it.

    My now-husband and I were lucky enough to see Dexter Lake Club at a friend’s wedding in 2022. This was before we were even engaged, but we both looked at each other and said this will be our wedding band. Before even booking our venue, we reached out to Dexter Lake Club to confirm that they were available the same day options as our venue. There was no way we were having our wedding without them. From the very beginning, Tim and Jamie were responsive, flexible, and open to any and all crazy ideas we had for our wedding. They took the time to understand our musical preferences and even learned a few special songs for us.

    On the big day, they exceeded all expectations. The band's energy was infectious, and our dance floor was packed from start to finish - people didn’t even want to leave. Usually after a wedding, you tell the couple that their band was great and forget about it, but even as I write this, a little over a month later, we are STILL getting friends and family telling us how much they loved DLC and the energy they brought to our wedding - many saying ours was the most fun wedding they have EVER been to.

    Not only are they incredibly talented musicians, but they also know how to read the crowd and keep the party going. They interacted with the guests, creating an engaging and memorable experience for everyone in attendance.

    Dexter Lake Club band played a significant role in making our wedding day absolutely perfect. Their music added an extra layer of magic to the celebration, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. If you're looking for a wedding band that will rock with you all night long, Dexter Lake Club is where it’s at. I want to have our wedding again just to rock with them one more time. They are worth every penny and more. Thank you for making our wedding unforgettable!
