I could not have asked for a better band. The sound was perfect. Great vibe. Good people. Very professional. Thank you so so much. You made my wedding amazing
Response from Jerry Dee & The Dovetones :
Thank you very much, we had a great evening and, congratulations!
We hired them to play during cocktail hour at our wedding as we wanted some jazz music while everyone was getting settled. They were amazing!!! We found them on this website and then listened to their music, and at the venue they did not disappoint! I would recommend them 10/10! They were super nice and easy to work with and sounded amazing!! Many of my guests came up to me after raving about them. I'm so glad I was able to have them for my special day!
Response from Jerry Dee & The Dovetones :
Thank you so much, Nicolina! We had a wonderful time! Congratulations!
I literally am speechless. These guys were way more than what we expected! All our friends were asking who they are because their music, professionalism and great sound really set the tone for our Great Gatsby themed party. They carry an amazing stage presence and have a big sound- looking forward to seeing them play again soon! Will definitely book them for another event. Thanks for an awesome time!
Response from Jerry Dee & The Dovetones :
Thank you so much for having us! We really had a great time! A great group of people and a swingin’ party for sure!
Booked them for a 50th wedding anniversary. They were great. Right on time and good music.

Response from Jerry Dee & The Dovetones :
Thank you so much. I really enjoyed myself. Thanks for having me!
Jerry and his band played our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour this past Saturday and we could not be more pleased with their sound, song choice, and professionalism. Jerry customized our ceremony music, even to the extent of learning a new song for our recessional. If you're looking for a unique and thoughtful touch for your party, book this band. You won't be disappointed. Thank you, Jerry!!
