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.

We were lucky to find Dat Band and wow were we blown away by the talent of the entire band, especially our female singer. They read the crowd and kept the party going! We also used their services for our 2nd Line and it made it so easy and less for us to have to deal with. Our booking process was seamless and Chad made us feel like his number one client. I hope I get to attend a wedding where they are playing again!
