Absolutely flawless start to finish

Kurt and Dirty Bird took our wedding to the next level; every single request we made was executed perfectly and they didn’t miss a beat (or cue). We had extensive song cues and requests and they hit every single one. Our guests never left the dance floor thanks to their party vibe and they even let me and my (now) husband perform a song with them for our first dance. It was AWESOME all around and Kurt was an absolutely fantastic MC. I cannot recommend them enough!

Dirty Birds were the perfect choice for our wedding. My fiance and I reached out to the band as soon as we got engaged to ask if they were available on our date. Luckily, they were! Our wedding guests (of all ages) were on the dance floor the entire night. Kurt did an awesome job emceeing the night as well...from the grand entrance to the toasts. Thank you Dirty Birds!!

We haven't stopped getting compliments on Dirty Bird Band since our wedding on 9.9.2017! Everyone at the wedding has told how great they were and how much fun they had! Everything about working with them was perfect, Kurt was super responsive and easy to work with - even meeting us at the venue to go over setup etc. I am so happy we were able to have them as our wedding band, they were so great at both the ceremony music AND the reception, and made the reception flow so nicely - as well as playing great music! I don't think anyone was sitting once they started to play, everyone was out on the dance floor. HIGHLY recommend them, they will make your wedding so much fun!
