The Dave Macklin Band was the perfect addition to our magical day! They were extremely easy to work with, kind and communicative. Irene was so helpful and we loved the option to customize our set list! Thank you for everything and even sticking around for an extra song or two - the impromptu opera singing was incredible and such a hit. The talent and care they put into each performance helped us have the best night ever. Truly a top notch group to work with!

Thank you Kimberly and thank you for your hospitality! We had a great time and are very pleased that everything was to your liking. Hope to work with you and your family again soon.
I hired The Dave Macklin Band for a function for 150 seniors. When I tell you this band had everyone on their feet, I mean it. I have seen The Dave Macklin Band personally at other venues and fell in love with them. I hired them for a outdoor bbq for approx 150 retiree's and they all raved about the band and begged that I have them back next year for our 10th Year Anniversary BBQ. Thanks so much to Dave, Irene and the rest of the crew for making my event so memorable. See you next year!

Thank you so much Darlene for taking the time to leave us such a great review. We really appreciate it. We had a blast and we look forward to celebrating the 10th year anniversary next year with you!
We hired Dave Macklin band for a non-profit fundraising event. We let the band know who are demographics were and that we hoped to have music that would get people onto the dance floor. They did just that! The music was fantastic and the group was easy to communicate and flexible leading up to the event. Would absolutely hire again!

A band can make or break your event and The Dave Macklin Band will not disappoint! They are my go-to for all events where live music is desired! Their professionalism is exemplary and they are excellent entertainers. The manager, Irene, is very accommodating and attentive to my every need not to mention her beautiful personality. The communication was open and I never had any issues reaching her. I highly recommend The Dave Matthews Band and will be calling them again for my next event! Thank you Irene, Dave & the band for making my past events successful!

Thank you so much Renee! We love working with you.
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. Charlene and Ron

The Dave Macklin Band was such a great vibe for our company holiday party! The band manager was great with communication beforehand and giving us a set list to review. They were accommodating to our song requests and throwing in more Christmas songs in the mix. Everyone enjoyed the music and we got people dancing at the end of the night. All talented musicians & performers!

Thank you Tim! It was a pleasure working with you and your team and I hope we get to work together again in the near future.
The Dave Macklin Band played at my husband's 60th Birthday at Lebaron Hills Country Club this past Saturday. I chose them to play because I had seen some of their videos on Youtube. They blew me away so I hired them. They did not disappoint. I had people coming up to me asking where i found this band. In fact a guest from New York asked if they would play an event in New York. The music was beyond awesome. The people that worked at the venue commented how awesome they were too and asked for their card to refer them to potential clients. I don't normally dance but i was up there almost all nigh. On top of all that they were the nicest people you would ever want to meet. If you are looking for a band that will get everyone up off their feet please hire them. You will not regret it.

The first thing I need to say is, the entire Dave Macklin Band, singers, management are absolutely professional and so easy to work wth! Everyone was polite and friendly and they delivered a show that fun, filled with plenty of quality dance and R &B hit covers! The musicians were off the hook! The drummer was a percussionist dream to hear. His beats and rhythms were simply amazing! Bass, guitars and keyboards were alive and busting with perfect sounds that dazzled the senses and together rocked our small fourth of July party. The voices of the three singers we powerful and gave more range and quality in addition to the quantity of songs that wete preformed! Dave Macklin Band is our official house band!
