Harley B. Sent on 12/27/2022Great vendor team!
My husband and I opted for having a live acoustic guitarist for the ceremony and cocktail hour and a DJ for the reception. We felt that for us, this was the best of both worlds. Dan was able to play the songs that were most important to us for the ceremony (either by already knowing them or learning them) and then he chose the cocktail hour music; which was still music we enjoyed! For the reception, Jon kept the dance floor going and everyone had a blast! They were great to work with! -

DMG Group + District DJ (Jon): the best band in town! I see and hear A LOT of bands and DJ’s, because, well, I am at events every week (I work for a catering company). DMG really stood out to me for more than one reason. Of course, their music and sound is unmatched. Dan and his team are incredibly talented and provide all genres of music. They provide an extensive list of music that they know and are willing to learn new songs, too! The second reason I chose DMG is for their friendliness and the way they carry themselves. EVERY event I work with DMG (as a vendor) they have always been so kind and EASY to work with. I truly enjoy their company and the most important part is that they truly care about the bride and groom and truly want them to have the best day ever. People are still asking me who our band was and I am so thankful I chose them! THANK YOU DMG!!! -

Michael C. Sent on 10/29/2022Book DMG for your Wedding!
Dan, Jon, and the band are incredible professionals. The band plays a wide range of songs and have amazing energy! Our guests commented about how great the band was and how fun the wedding was overall. If you want a great event book DMG! The best part about DMG is that you get a band and a DJ which makes for a seamless reception. Jon organizes all the dances, intros, fun stuff while Dan and the band play great music. It really is the best of both worlds!
The band learned multiple songs for us including a song dedicated to my wife's father. It was a special moment for my wife and her siblings to hear and dance along to their dad's favorite song. I can't thank the band enough for making that happen.
In addition to the band playing the reception, we also booked DMG to play and mic the ceremony and play during the cocktail hour. Both add-ons were well worth it and we highly recommend adding those to your day.
Jon and Dan are extremely responsive, helpful, and flexible to make your wedding a special day. It was extremely easy to work with DMG and they were one of the most memorable parts to our day. They also bring a list of fun ideas for the reception including the Photo Challenge which we did and it was super fun as well as resulted in a ton of great pictures with our entire group of guests. Overall, they are outstanding and great value! Plan your wedding date so you can book DMG!

Dan McGuire and his band and their accompanying DJ, Adam Halliday were an absolute pleasure to work with. From step one, they were easy to get in contact with, prompt with all of our questions, and made us feel comfortable about having them be a part of our big day.
All of the professionalism aside, these guys know how to play. We had a huge list of songs to choose from, and our guests loved it when we told them we were having a live band. Definitely a difference maker and one of the parts of our wedding I'll remember forever. Thanks guys! -

I cannot recommend DMG enough! Not only do they give you the option of an amazing band but also a top notch DJ/MC. You truly get the best of both worlds. The entire team conducts themselves with the utmost professionalism and makes every attempt to bring your wedding vision to life. For those that dont have every detail of their wedding already planned on their Pinterest boards, these guys are also perfect. I let Danny take the reins on song choice and he absolutely crushed it! I am not lying when I say that the dance floor was packed from the time we finished our parent dances to the very last song of the evening. He is a true master of choosing songs based off of the crowds energy and vibe, which is such a stress reliever. We received so many compliments from our guests and the experience was nothing like any other wedding I have been to! -

Jenny S. Sent on 09/27/2022Great experience working with DMG!
Major thanks to Jon and Dan for helping to make our wedding day extremely special. They kept us organized, involved us in some real-time schedule changes to get the party started faster, incorporated our music selections and preferences, etc. People raved about Dan playing our ceremony and cocktail hour and we received so much positive feedback about Jon's energy and how he was able to engage our family and friends to get them dancing.
Friends of ours had recommended DMG after their own great experience working with them in 2020 and I'm so glad we went with them after having initial conversations with a number of different groups. Look no further - these guys are great! -

You should hire the Dan McGuire Group. My husband and I were struggling with the music for our wedding. We wanted a live band, but we’re big rock fans and didn’t want a ton of stereotypical “wedding” music. I’m also a musician and needed to have a talented group. We were about to give up and just get a DJ when we found DMG.
Even if rock music isn’t your thing, I highly recommend DMG. They were a highlight of the entire event; people couldn’t stop talking about how good they were and how much fun everyone was having. I’m still getting compliments when I see people months later.
It was really important to me to have a wedding where people got up and danced. I wanted people to get together and let loose and that is exactly what happened. DMG was really great at reading the room and with creating a setlist that ebbed and flowed throughout the evening. I’d also be remiss to ignore Adam, who emceed and was DJ during band breaks.
All around, we had a wonderful experience, and I don’t have a single complaint.

Cassandra S. Sent on 08/21/2022Truly special wedding entertainment option
It was a pleasure working with the Dan McGuire Group. From the initial phone call to the final call weeks before our April 2022 wedding, they were professional and incredibly accommodating. We had Dan McGuire playing acoustic guitar during our ceremony, cocktail hour, and our first dance. He truly helped create the ambiance we were looking for, even learning our first dance song. Adam Halliday was our emcee and DJ and did a great job keeping the evening moving and fun, playing a great variety of music that any generation enjoyed. Thanks to the team for being such a wonderful and memorable part of our day! -

Cassie G. Sent on 12/27/2021You won't regret hiring the Dan McGuire Group!
Hiring the Dan McGuire group was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. We did a combo of live acoustic guitar (by Dan) for our ceremony and cocktail hour, before Jon, took over as MC and DJ for the rest of the evening. Everything was perfect from initial inquiry to final song of the night. Dan and Jon listened to all of our requests and wants and executed it all with ease. Dan is extremely talented and Jon kept the party alive all night long. I would absolutely recommend hiring this crew for your wedding entertainment needs, and I would also recommend the acoustic guitar/DJ combo for those that want both live music and the flexibility that having a DJ has to offer. The value and quality are hard to beat. -

Thank you for an awesome wedding Thursday at the Dye House! My daughter Jessica and new son in law Kevin as well as all the guests truly enjoyed the band! You and your band are professional and very talented! Thanks again for sharing this special evening. -

Haleigh Sent on 08/03/2021Excellent from booking to last dance
The Dan McGuire Group and John as their MC made for a perfect wedding day. Planning was made easy with outlines and multiple phone calls throughout the planning process. The ceremony and cocktail hour music was beautiful. The reception was perfectly MC’d by John, who made sure everyone was in their places at the right time. The band during the reception made the day. The dance floor was not empty for a single second the entire night, trust me, we still have people telling us how great the music was that night 3 weeks later. Whether it was the band or the DJ sets during band breaks, there was barely a second anyone wanted to leave to even grab a drink! What a great experience working with these guys who made our wedding unforgettable. -

UPDATE:
Just had my wedding on June 4, 2021, after rescheduling THREE times (thanks covid...)! The whole time Jon, Dan, and the group were amazing! They were super responsive and flexible with all of the changes. They were also super helpful with the planning and timeline, then at the wedding, they kept everything running super smooth! Everything was PERFECT!
I had guests coming up to me during the night and even after telling me how amazing the band was! They even learned two songs for me and Mike, which they pulled off flawlessly!
They provided uplighting which added to the atmosphere.
HIRE THEM! You will NOT regret it! They really made my and Mike's wedding PERFECT and I cannot thank them enough!!
Just booked The Dan McGuire group for our wedding in May of 2020! So excited to have them play at our wedding. First discovered them at a bar in Frederick, from that first time seeing them perform my friends and I have loved their energy and talent!
They have been amazing about being in contact with me and my fiance. They have great ideas on their contract, are willing to answer all questions, quick with responding, and are totally willing to work to make our wedding request/dreams come true!
On top of the guys being a talented band, but for weddings they travel with an expert wedding DJ to keep the guest moving and interested all night long!
Can't wait for our wedding and to dance the night away to the talent of The Dan McGuire Group! -

Becki A. Sent on 11/06/2021Best Wedding Band
Dan McGuire Group far exceeded all of our expectations. When looking for wedding bands, we found them through word of mouth, and decided to go see a performance in Frederick just for fun. After hearing one song, we knew that we wanted them to play at our wedding. What really sealed the deal was that Dan made the time to talk with us during the set break. From that point forward, Dan and Jon went above and beyond to get to know us, what we wanted for our wedding experience and ultimately tailor our wedding music from ceremony to last song to be exactly what we wanted. Throughout the whole experience they were fun, flexible, all the while professional!! We highly recommend them for your upcoming wedding (or any event for that matter)! -

Wow I can't say enough about how much we loved the experience that the Dan McGuire Group provided for our wedding day. They dealt with incredible adversity and put on one of the best wedding performances I've ever experienced! I would recommend them 1000 times over. -

Will B. Sent on 10/20/2021Hands Down The Best Wedding Band Ever
The Dan McGuire band put on one of the best parties we've ever been to. We hired them off of recommendation, and they had everyone dancing the entire. We gave them our general taste in music, plus a few songs that they learned just for our wedding, and they ran with it and put on an amazing show. I can't recommend them enough.
