Deena Miller Productions is INCREDIBLE! I first met them back in 2013 when my dad remarried and we hired them for his wedding. And then I hired them for my wedding in July 2022 because they are just THAT good. Deena and her band members know exactly how to read a crowd, draw people onto the dance floor and keep them there. At our wedding in July, our guests were on the dance floor ALL NIGHT. Deena and her band are also incredibly versatile, which is displayed by the fact that they could be such a huge hit at a wedding with mostly older people AND a wedding with mostly younger people. They went above and beyond to make our wedding night incredible. In 2013, Deena learned that I was a huge Taylor Swift fan and because of that, she learned my favorite Taylor Swift song to play at my dad's wedding (it's not one of her hits, so this was a big deal!). Fast forward to our wedding - she relearned this song and made sure I was out on the dance floor when they played it at the end of the night. It was the most special moment. They also performed THREE encore songs after non-stop cheers and begging from the crowd. I cannot recommend them more highly. Our wedding night was incredible and they are a huge reason why!
This review is our experience from the very first correspondence with Deena Miller:
Deena was the first (and unfortunate) encounter we had with a wedding vendor while doing our research. We sent Deena questions such as “Do you have any performances coming up for us to see you live?” OR “What’s your backup plan for any malfunctioning equipment? Do you bring spares?” OR “Do you book one wedding per day? Would you/will you have another wedding prior to ours?”
Nearly every response was unexpectedly off-putting and rude. Answers to the above were, “We do not play clubs, not have we needed to “Showcase” in over a decade … recommended by many venues and do not “audition” OR “In 20+ years we have not had an issue with equipment. The VENUE is another story & we can’t control that. We do not bring 2 of everything.” OR my personal favorite, “1 wedding daily (we are not a factory)” – who responds like this with good intentions??? These were just some of the highlights, too bad there aren’t enough characters to share the whole list.
I reside at a major record label and have been in the music industry for over 5 years now, and I've never had such an encounter before. Her replies made us feel STUPID, as if we asked questions that were invasive and insulting her line of work.
Every bride should feel like she’s getting an intimate experience with a vendor, one that feels like she’s “the only one” you’re working with. You would think we were booking the opener for Beyoncé & Jay-Z.
I apologize for the delay in writing these words of thanks for the beautiful job you did at my and Rays engagement party. If this is even the fraction of what's to come with the full Deena Miller band extravaganza I will be the happiest bride on earth !
I didn’t expect people to be dancing at the engagement announcement, but you got them up.
You took an intimate setting and created a full blow party. We chose right !!
Everyone is still talking about how incredible you were Deena and they can’t wait for the BIG DAY!
See you in 2019 !!!
I went to my nieces party @ The Beaumont Inn recently - the band was AMAZING!!! DMP had a ton of variety and a great mix of music, from the classics to current songs on the radio now! I was on the dance floor the entire time, and I couldn't get enough of Deena, what a voice and personally! She and the band were so nice, too, always smiling making the room sparkle - it's obvious that they all love working together and they love what they do! Not your typical wedding band at all - high energy, current, and way better than any other wedding band I've ever seen. They are not only extremely talented, but extremely professional - my niece didn't have to worry about a thing because DMP took care of everything! Thank you, Deena and and thank you to your incredible musicians! I will definitely be hiring this band for my daughters wedding!
I’m not sure if it is customary for a Maid of honor / Sister of the bride to write a review for the band, but I just had to.
Deena was so amazing and was kind enough to work with me on a special song for my sister. She had her pianist ( Judy) write a special
chart for the musicians and even made time to do a rehearsal with me before the Wedding.
I was so nervous but Deena put my mind at ease and I felt so confident in the musicians hands.
I also just want to say how AMAZING the band was. The hi floor was full all night long. I am not much of a dancer but she even got me up many times throughout the night. When I get married I know who I will hire. You are in great hand with Deena and her band.
Deena and her band made our wedding spectacular! Weeks later, whenever we talk to anyone about the wedding, one of the first things they talk about is the music and how great it was. We looked at a lot of bands, but what made us choose Deena was the fact that she and her band mates have fun. We thought, if they have fun, the guests will have fun, and if the guests have fun, we’ll have fun. And we did! Deena and Mario were easy to work with. We wanted a mix of music, and we got exactly that. Look no further for your band. You will not be disappointed!
Deena Miller Productions *made* our whole wedding! My husband and I are not huge dancers ourselves, but we are both very passionate about music... so we wanted our guests to have fun on the dance floor. We KNEW we had to have Deena and the band at our wedding. After our first dance, the band transitioned to an upbeat "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" and invited everyone out to the dance floor. I honestly think all 200 people made it out there to dance with us because of the band's energy. One of my guests said, "I have never in my entire life seen that many people have that much fun THAT quickly at a wedding!" And it only got better as the night went on. Countless guests from both sides have since commented on the band and how impressed they were with their ability to incorporate so many different genres throughout the night. My husband and I even spent the whole night on the dance floor DANCING! :) We are so grateful to Deena and her talented team of musicians for making our wedding the best night ever!
I just had to write a review for Deena Miller and her band. My first daughter got married 3 years ago and found Deena's band online to play at her reception. She picked her because of the amazing reviews. Deena and the band had to travel to our location. The music was phenomenal, everyone asked who they were and the entire wedding had a wonderful time. Fast forward to this past weekend, my second daughter got married and again picked Deena and her band. Most people commented that it was the best wedding ever. Deena and her band kept everyone on the dance floor almost the whole night, with the exception for the dinner part!! Again, wonderful selection of music, wonderful singers, great musicians. They are a blast and will make anyone's wedding better, if they are present. Thank you Deena Miller and Company:)
WOW! What can I say besides WOW!? DMP took stage and ROCKED my wedding! Everyone kept complimenting how great the band was!
Deena was so easy to chat with prior to the wedding and reached out to make sure all the details were in line before the big day! Even when my hubby asked for a Metallica song (uhh, I know).. they played "Nothing Else Matters" as a surprise slow song and it really blew his socks off!
THANK YOU DEENA AND GANG! xoxo

Deena Miller and her band were absolutely incredible. People who we did not expect to be out on the dance floor were out there all night! Even after the wedding ended, people still wanted to keep dancing. She does a great job of setting the tone throughout the entire night and her band is the best. I would highly recommend them for your wedding day.
This is a belated review for the band-- they performed at our wedding in September of 2015. They were amazing! Deena Miller was not available that day but the band sounded absolutely incredible. We were blown away by their versatility and musicality. From Top 40 to salsa/merengue, they can play anything, and they sound amazing live. We would hire the again in a heartbeat for any large-scale celebration.
I am the mother of the groom, and my son and his new wife were married Nov. 4 2017. We booked Deena Miller and her band because they sounded so good online. They were more than good, they were fabulous! Deena was very prompt in communicating back and forth with my son, and she even communicated with me about the mother of the groom dance. She and her band were very flexible and professional. They were totally open to my husband and other son playing the "couple's first dance". Deena and her band helped them with the sound and the drummer even helped out with background drums.
Deena figured out really fast that our group loved to dance and the band did not disappoint. They played hard the whole evening. Their emceeing was superb and they made us feel like they were really there just for us! Our family got so many compliments about her band, telling us that our reception was the best they had ever been to. I think a great deal of that was the band! Thank you so much Deena for all the personal touches. It is definitely a night I will remember with joy!

Where to start... My wife and I hired Deena and her band for our wedding this past October and experienced what had to be the absolute best night of our lives. Deena was amazing, her band was on point every song and we have not stopped receiving compliments about them. Deena and the band learned new songs just for us, introduced our son in the most amazing way possible and helped my dad with his own song at the end of the night. From start to finish it was a night to remember and cherish and it was the perfect way to start this life together as husband and wife. Thank You!
We hired Deena Miller Productions for our wedding and we were NOT disappointed! We decided we wanted a live band because we wanted the band to really engage with our guests and keep them dancing all night, and boy did they! We requested that they play almost exclusively fast songs to keep the energy up and they were more than happy to oblige. We were pleasantly surprised that they also were able to perform our entrance and first dance song which was not on their song list. They also always had someone playing, even when most of the band took breaks, so no DJ songs at all, which I thought was a huge bonus as well. One break they had the guitarist play and the other they had the keyboardist stay. They were also great sports when they had started to break down and realized we were doing a sparkler send off they quickly reassembled what they could to give us a musical send off with our first dance song, which we really appreciated. We received countless complements on the band from our guests. Deena is an extremely positive and upbeat personality as well, which also made the band great to deal with. We cant say enough great things about them!
Deena Miller Productions provided AMAZING music for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. After talking with Deena for the first time, I knew we would be in good hands with her band on our wedding day. Due to our budget limitations, Deena offered to send the band with an alternate vocalist (instead of herself) at a reduced price. This allowed us to have a six-piece band while staying within our budget. Leading up to our wedding, communication with Deena and Mario was easy and clear. On the day of our wedding, the band was flexible, professional, and sounded amazing. We still receive compliments from guests stating that they had a wonderful time listening to the music and dancing. Having a top-notch live band really made all the difference on our wedding day.
Deena Miller Productions was amazing and really kept everyone dancing and having fun through our whole wedding! My husband and I had a special song that we wanted for our first dance, and my Dad requested a special wording to a song for the Father/Daughter dance, and they were very accommodating and learned both songs for us and played them beautifully! Some guests were not sure how they would feel about a band beforehand, and after our wedding, told us they loved the band! Everyone was one their feet dancing and enjoying the band the whole time - made my wedding stand out and we all had so much fun :)
We hired the Deena Miller Band for our big fundraising event in June of 2016 and loved theme sooo much that we brought them back again this year for our same Dinner Dance/Auction. We did have to increase the size of our dance floor this year, which tells you something about how much people enjoyed their music !!! I would highly recommend Deena and her musicians for any event - wedding, dinner dance, fundraiser etc. Our community here in Buck Hill Falls loved this group.
Amazing band!! Mario was our contact for the booking and one of the most professional vendors we worked with. The band was on point with our first dance song ( a number where my hubby and I had a big dip planned, then missed it, but they rolled with the punches and nobody knew that we messed up haha), with the older crowd, the younger crowd, etc. They kept everyone on their feet all night and it was only an 80 person wedding -- it still felt like a crowded big dance party in the best way! Thank you Mario, Deena and the band for a great addition to our special day!!!!!
Deena Miller Productions made our wedding reception the most fun party we have ever been to! The band was the part of the reception I was most choosy about, and DMP totally exceeded my expectations. They sounded amazing, played great songs, and kept our dance floor packed all night. Our guests all told us how much they loved the band! They are also just incredibly nice. They really felt like they were celebrating with us--not just performing. HIGHLY recommend!
Wow: now that my wedding is over, choosing Deena Miller Productions was one of the best decisions I made. Before the wedding, Deena sat down with me & my fiance to go over all our song choices and how we envisioned the day to go. And they BLEW my expectations away! We had them play for the ceremony and cocktail hour, and I had several people (including a jazz musician) tell me how much they loved the music and wish it didn't stop! And for the reception, not only did they learn the custom songs I requested, but Deena played several Tom Petty songs because she knew our families loved Tom Petty. Deena & company brought such an energy that our dance floor was packed the entire time, and we decided that night to extend the reception because people were having so much fun. The band interacted with the guests on the dance floor, and customized the songs based on how the crowd was reacting. I actually had several family members reach out after the wedding and ask for thier contact info because they thought it was the best band they had seen. You cannot go wrong working with Deena, Mario, and their group - I really hope I cross paths with them again at another event!
Deena's band was absolutely fabulous! I can't even count how many people asked me how/where I found them (I just found them after researching bands on the Knot). Every time I looked up the dance floor was full of people both young and old! They learned a few songs for us and even took some requests from our guests. Our reception was an absolute BLAST and they are absolutely the main reason for that.
They also provided a beautiful cello and piano for our ceremony.
Deena Miller Band and productions provided all of the music for our cocktail hour and reception.Deena and everyone at DMP were truly wonderful to work with from start to finish. We arranged for the pieces of the band with ease. Deena was extremelty knowledgable and provided great suggestions regarding what would sound the best in our venue space. She worked with us whenever we had questions to ensure our day was exactly what we had wanted. The band sounded wonderful. Memmbers of the band were dancing and interacting with our guests all night long. The dance floor was packed the entire night.
We have had many guests complimenting the band and asking us how we had found them. Deena and DMP- along with the array of lighting on the dance floor was absolutely perfect. We could not have asked for a better band.
Deena Miller Productions provided all of the music for our entire wedding, including the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception, and they were absolutely AMAZING! Deena and everyone at DMP were truly wonderful to work with from start to finish. We arranged for the pieces of the band with ease, and Deena helped us through the entire process and provided great suggestions. She made sure that the music would be perfect for our particular day. She worked with us whenever we had questions, and the process was flawless. The ceremony music was beautiful, and the music during cocktail hour was wonderful. During the reception, the band was fantastic!! Every person at the reception was out on the dance floor having the time of their life. We had so many guests ask us for more information about Deena Miller and informed us that it was the best band they had ever heard at a wedding and that they loved every song. Deena was always there to answer our questions and assist us along the way, and she tailored the music to us. They provided lighting, which was amazing for our venue. Deena MIller was fun, professional, and so attentive. Our wedding would not have been complete without her. I am proud to say that the best music was at my own wedding, and we love Deena Miller!
Deena worked with us throughout the planning process, offering helpful advice not just about music but about the flow of the reception, etc. We loved her enthusiasm and professionalism. And she helped us throw a fabulous party! Everyone was up on the dance floor the whole evening and we received many compliments from guests about the music.
Deena Miller played at both our ceremony and reception and we were absolutely blown away with both!!! From the very first phone conversation I had with Deena, I knew we were in the hands of extremely talented professionals focused on providing above the grade entertainment for everyone at our wedding. Their talent and enthusiasm was clear with every song they played; the music never stopped and our guests never left the dance floor. From start to finish, planning was a breeze. Deena took the time to get to know me and my husband to ensure music suited our taste. The song list to select from is vast and last minute requests (at no other fault but the bride's!) were met with patience and excitement. They learned songs as close as the day before the wedding and were able to fulfill all special requests... they are truly amazing artists that will exceed every one of your expectations. Our guests are still talking about the amazing band at our wedding and we will always recommend them for any occasion.
Deena Miller and her crew (7pc in all) played at our wedding and they truly brought down the house! Their music was vibrant, tasteful and delightful.
After finding Deena here, we looked at her website - namely her YouTube highlight reel and song list, and it was clear that she and her musicians had a passion for what they did (admittedly, I also really liked that they listed prices on the website for the various band tiers).
Once we got the ball rolling, Deena (and her VP of operations Mario) sent us their personal contact information and we stayed in touch about song choices, themes and the like. We were able to request special songs that weren't on her list too, which added a great personal touch to the reception. We always felt well-connected to them as we planned our big day.
On the day of, we were a little scared because Deena had a severe medical emergency come up which required her to go to the ER hours before the ceremony. However, she had a replacement lined up and ready to go - but after many stitches and two hospital visits she was able to come with time to spare AND still be lead singer (with a smile too!). What an amazing woman!
Before the reception, she checked with us to make sure everything was set up okay (which it was) and that she had the pronunciation correct for members of the bridal party as they were announced and were giving speeches. I really liked her attention to details - and it showed.
During the reception, her team got our guests on the dance floor with well-timed, fun and ardently performed music spanning classic hits, modern dance music and everything in between. Nothing felt out of place - and Deena did a great job MCing the evening (announcing transitions to cake cutting, food arriving, etc.) and having the music change accordingly during these transitions was great too. I also really liked that later on in the evening she moved to the dance floor as she sang, which I feel really enhanced the guest's connection to the music. Everything was very well polished and certainly professional too.
After the ceremony, guests came up to me and told me how awesome they thought the band was - and I share their view - going with Deena was one of the best choices we made for our reception, and I could not recommend them more highly. Give them a look!
DMP helped to make our wedding day as perfect as possible. From the beginning, Deena met with us in person to make sure she and her band could fit our wants and needs (they also have a very helpful website full of info!) She was easy to contact and the information form she collected from us shortly before the wedding date ensured me that I didn't have anything to worry about related to the band. At the wedding, the band kept the guests entertained and we received many compliments on how great our band was. I would 100% recommend them for any wedding!
You can't go wrong with Deena Miller Productions!!! My husband and I had been together for 10 years and just got married on Valentines Day.
From the very first meeting to the big day, Deena was totally there for us. She was extremely personable and we felt very comfortable from the start. She was always responsive and receptive to our ideas - always wanting to make it the best night possible. It was.
Throughout the evening, we received numerous complements from all of our guests - all remarking how awesome the band was. They played the perfect mix of contemporary and disco and everyone was dancing.
Honestly, it was the best night of our lives. And for that, we owe a great deal to Deena and her band. They made it perfect.
If you want to have a great experience and would love happy guests, your best bet is DEENAMILLERPRODUCTIONS! She was amazing and so sweet, so patient with me and my decisions and very responsive! She not only was professional but she was so personable! She was so supportive in all the things I wanted, especially the modern music choices I chose for my ceremony music. She accommodated me in every way she could. My friends and family were all so pleased with her musicians! You will not be disappointed, I had a trio (violinist, pianist, and flute) and all were amazing!!!
When my husband got engaged we both knew we wanted a band instead of a DJ. As soon as we started talking to Deena and met with her the first time, we knew they were the ones for us. Not only was their style and music exactly to our taste, but Deena was always available to help answer a question or help us. She would always get back to us right away and was so helpful when we didn't know what to do. You can tell that she loves what she does and is attentive to every one of her clients. She made the planning process so much easier. The music the day of the wedding was perfect! They filled the dance floor all night and we everyone kept telling us how awesome the music was. We couldn't have been happier! We highly recommend them!!
Deena Miller Productions made my sister's wedding so amazingly fun! I love to dance and I was on the dance floor for the entire evening, as were most of the guests in attendance. The musicians were top-notch professionals, the signers had wonderful voices and the entire band had an infectious energy - they even came out from behind their bandstand to mingle with the crowd. The band was also dressed to impress and their musical styling matched their elegant appearance.
Besides the amazing mix of songs, Deena Miller herself is unforgettable. A few weeks before the wedding, our dad decided to write his own special lyrics for the father-daughter dance. Working with Deena over the phone almost every night for 14 days, my dad was able to surprise my sister with a very special gift. Deena's patience, dedication and passion for this special project meant so much to our family. When the male vocalist started singing, I knew instantly that it was exactly my dad's vision. The song was executed flawlessly and I cried the entire time - it was such a beautiful gesture that was made perfect by Deena and her band because of her passion for music and her dedication to her clients.
I've never been to a wedding where the music left such a lasting impression, setting the tone for the entire evening and becoming a memorable part of the night. Deena Miller Productions is a class act of talented professionals that I would recommend to anyone and everyone for a truly magical event.
My now husband and I got engaged 9/2013 and we began to plan our October 2014 wedding immediately. We made the commitment to work with vendors that cared, were personable and responsive. We emailed Deena on a Saturday in October 2013. Within an hour we had a response. A few days later I spoke with Deena. She appeared to be humble, warm, caring, and hard-working. I felt like I was speaking with someone I knew my entire life. Once I hung up the phone I knew DMP was the right band for us AND I WAS RIGHT!
In March 2014, during the coldest PA winter on record, Deena and Mario drove a distance to meet me at our reception venue to review the location, meet the staff and discuss sound options.
Fast Forward to September/October 2014, about two-three weeks before our wedding, Deena spent time with me via phone and email to make sure everything about our wedding reception was just perfect. We reviewed the timeline, song lists, she practiced over and over name pronunciations and to my surprise she even worked with my father to modify Joe Cocker's "You Are So Beautiful" to the version he sang to me as an infant.
Now the most important part, our wedding day-10/10/14! I am writing this review almost three weeks after our wedding. Our guests are still talking about our fantastic band. Everyone left our wedding smiling because they had so much fun! I've lost count of how many guests, other vendors, etc. have asked WHERE DID YOU GET THAT BAND? Our guests have used words such as: incredible, oustanding, amazing, talented, etc. to describe DMP. As I write this review, my eyes are filled with happy tears because our wedding was a day I will never forget. I owe that to my husband and to all of the wonderful vendors we had the pleasure of working with. Most importantly, I owe that to Deena Miller and her group of talented musicians. DMP will always have a special place in our hearts and I am extremely grateful for my new friend Deena.
If you want a band that will keep everyone dancing, smiling and partying, then I would highly recommend Deena Miller Productions. Visit her website to learn her philosophy on what makes a good wedding band. Deena's band has a broad range of music appealing to all age ranges and they transition from song to song in a way that makes it difficult to leave the dance floor. Other members of her band are enthusiastic and high energy.
Working with Deena was a joy. She helps guide you with the decisions that need to be made and she explains the nuances of what makes a good wedding celebration. Her approach is that as soon as the band starts playing, it is her job to keep the party going and to make sure everyone has fun. She delivers!
Here are some quotes from those who attended our wedding:
“This is better than college!” (21 year old)
“What a wonderful time! I think it was the most fun of any wedding I can remember for a long, long time - you know how to throw a great party! I had trouble talking the next morning - my voice seemed to have gone with the music...that band was incredible!”
(57 year old)
“WOW! What an absolutely phenomenal wedding and celebration. You two certainly know how to put together a party. People will be talking about it for years.” (78 year old)
If you want a first rate, over the top wedding band, then call Deena. She delivers!
Written by the bride: Sue!
Deena Miller Productions exceeded my expectations! They were nothing short of amazing. They helped to make our special day a truly amazing one! Deena and her team were a pleasure to work with from start to finish! The band is extremely talented and were total professionals. They were willing to learn two special songs for our first dance and the father/daughter dance! Deena was instrumental in planning the flow of the wedding. DMP also provided music for the ceremony and it was absolutely beautiful! It was a perfect day in part due to DMP! And it was a blast! We just needed more space on the dance floor.
Getting Deena and her wonderful band was the best decision ever!!! Such great people, positive, helpful and truly professionals! From the first day we met Deena, we knew we are dealing with an amazing person. She went through every single detail you wouldn't even think about. Our guests had such a blast, every single one of them came over and said, that the music was class! Seriously, if somebody even start thinking of getting a DJ instead of band, please don't waste your money! These guys can play everything!! and I really mean it! You'll have the best time of your life with them! And the rates are very reasonable.
As the bride you always worry about everything going smoothly and that your music will be appreciated by all guests and I was so happily surprised with how amazing Deena miller and her crew were the entire night!
The music was perfect and they had everyone up dancing all night.
My husband and I were the sweatiest bride and groom ever because we were on the dance floor partying and laughing with everyone and we couldnt get enough!
They were very accomodating and wonderful to work with from before the wedding right through till the end.
The price was especially affordable if you want a band and think you can only afford a dj.
Highly recommend!!!
Deena Miller played for our daughter’s wedding and she/they were fantastic! Deena worked with us a head of time to make the song selections, learned a new song for the father daughter dance and was just overall easy and cheerful to work with. The dance floor was packed all evening! They moved without pause from one song to another. The whole evening the music was geared toward the people dancing. They started out with more Motown type music and by the end of the evening it was more contemporary music. The dance floor was rocking! They also provided the cocktail hour music which was just wonderful, perfect for the mood and not loud-as there was no problem for people to converse. The whole evening flowed perfectly between them and the caterers, everything timed out perfectly from the bride/groom dance to the father daughter dance and the quieter music during the time for eating dinner. The quality of the musicians and the sound-excellent. I cannot think of anything to criticize They were excellent. Everyone I have spoken with from the wedding has commented on how good the band was. If you hire Deena you will not be disappointed.
This band was awesome! Not only was the music great but they brought such a lively energy to the wedding!
Dear Deena, Mario and The Band:
WOW! WOW! you guys were terrific. I can not thank you enough for the fabulous night you gave us, so many memories. We can not wait to see the video of it all.
We have received so many compliments on your band, the food and the venue, LOL
Thank you so much for a fun filled night. I hope we can keep in touch in the future, and I wish you all the very best!!
Your Blushing Bride and Groom
I knew from the moment we started communicating with Deena Miller, that the Deena Miller Band was going to be perfect for our wedding reception. They were professional through and through - which we really appreciated.
We asked Deena if we could do something a little different for our first dance. It was a song not on their list, and they learned it for us! We also wanted to play the first part of the song on violin and guitar. Not only was she encouraging, she and Judy - the band's keyboarist - skyped with us so that we could rehearse. The week of the wedding, Deena went over every detail of the night with us and put us at ease. She made us feel comfortable in every way.
The Deena Miller Band had my friends and family crowding the dance floor the entire night! The whole group was on the dance floor - young cousins and my grandparents and everyone in between. They played music from multiple genres - and killed it. :) When the band took a dinner break, their guitarist played popular music on acoustic guitar and somehow managed to fill the entire room with beautiful sound. It really seemed like they never took a break. So much energy!!
They exceeded our expectations! My friends can't stop talking about it! Forget stressing about flowers and napkins, book the Deena Miller and get ready for an amazing party! Thanks, Deena and the band!!! You guys rock.
Hire Deena Miller Productions for your next event-you won't be disappointed. Deena Miller is a multi-talented woman wearing many hats, including lead female singer, band leader, mc and event coordinator. With the help of her super versatile and rocking band, Deena choreographed the night perfectly. She even played acoustic guitar AND the drums at one point in the night-not simultaneously but STILL! I was truly impressed with how well the night flowed-beginning with gorgeous instrumentals on piano for the cocktail hour, followed by some nice acoustic/dinner music, slowly building into a dance party extravaganza. Deena and her band had everyone dancing and singing along for hours. This is one of the most fun and talented bands I've ever had the pleasure of seeing.
DMP took my cousin's wedding to the next level. The band had incredible energy and set all of the right moods - from elegant piano and guitar solos, to oldies, to modern dance hits. It felt like a private concert! Amazing!
We booked Deena Miller Productions for my daughter's wedding after seeing and hearing them (and being VERY impressed) at 2 previous weddings. They are absolutely THE best. Our guests are still talking about how fantastic the music was!! The dance floor was packed the whole evening.... the mood, enthusiasm and song selection was exactly what we asked for. We also used them for the ceremony and cocktail hour music and could not be happier. I can't say enough about DMP... Highly, highly recommended...... I have 2 other daughters, and wouldn't dream of using another band when the time comes!
The Deena Miller band was the right choice for our daughter’s wedding. Here’s why. As the father of the bride, I had limited decision making authority in planning my daughter’s wedding – most of the decisions were made by my daughter and wife. However, one thing that I knew we needed was a live band. No DJs please. The right band was going to get the party started and keep it going to the very end. The right band was going to bring out the emotions that everyone was feeling the way the right seasonings make a great meal. Deena and her band did just that. From the first number to the last, the dance floor was totally filled. The mix of songs was perfect, the volume was just right for the room and the guests – all of the guests from the 20-something revelers to the 90-something grandparents – were up dancing and loving it. Deena’s band was the rocket fuel that got the party off the ground and kept it in orbit. And when Deena took her wireless mic onto the floor and sang to the dancers face-to-face, she made us feel like the music, the party and the day belonged to us. Deena and her band made a very close connection to our guests and our guests loved them and told us so a lot. They played a wide variety of music that appealed to everyone – from sweet and dreamy ballads to funk with a beat so tight you could set an atomic clock to it. And Deena worked with my daughter to tune the selection, even learning new songs just for the occasion. The Deena Miller band was definitely the right choice for us. If you are planning a wedding, you have a lot to worry about – but you can worry about one less thing by hiring this band.
Deena and DMP were incredible to work with. They performed the music I picked out beautifully, even though some of it was really obscure and strange! Everyone I talked to at the reception was thrilled with them, and said it was the most fun they'd ever had (not just at a wedding!!). Most of all, Deena was so dedicated to making our day perfect that she even sent us some of the transcribed music as a gift! I can't speak highly enough about her and her crew.
Deena was wonderful and accommodating to work with in planning the music for my son and daughter-in-law's wedding this past weekend. I am an amateur singer myself and asked her to help me show my love for my son during our dance together by having the equipment available to play a song on which I did the vocals. She worked with the couple asking them for the songs they wanted played as well as a "Do not play" list. She did a terrific job in her introducing of the wedding party and emceeing the event, taking the time to make sure she knew the proper pronunciation of names. Deena and her talented band had EVERYONE both young and "seasoned" on the dance floor with their great mix of music. Friends and family talked to me all night about this being the most fun they ever had at a wedding.No one was ready for the night or the music to end.
Deena Miller Productions was a great HIT at the wedding reception. This wedding reception had children from ages two to ninety two rocking and rolling, slow dancing the night away. Bride and groom cared most about the music at the reception.
Deena Miller and her band came through for them. Also, my husband and I were the wedding planners. Deena was very conscientious about the timing of toasts, first dances and worked well with us in planning those special moments. That was critical to the flow of the beginning of the reception. Thank you Deena Miller Productions!! Beautiful evening due to you!
Thanks to Deena Miller my wedding became exactly what I wanted - a huge family dance party that brought my husband and my families together! Everyone, from ages 1 to 93, danced ALL NIGHT LONG! All we have heard since is that everyone had one of the best nights of their lives, especially Sean and me. The band was professional, interactive, and just so much fun. They even helped my brother and me to lead everyone in the hokey pokey, a Pocono tradition! From just a few emails and phone calls, Deena understood what I wanted for my wedding and made it happen better than I could have ever imagined. Thank you so much Deena Miller Productions!
Deena, I can't thank you enough for the excellent job you and the band did on Saturday at Meghan and Mike's wedding. Comments were made all night and the next day about the 'band'. My friend Pat came up to me and said "Did you hear what they (keyboard player) just played? Pat Metheney!! There were a lot of musicians in the room and every one of them was so impressed with the musicianship and song selections!! The coctail hour was exactly what I had hoped for, even better. Jazz, not 'audio wallpaper'. At times I thought a trio was playing, as your excellent pianist was comping a formidable bass line while the right hand stretched out chords that would take me a week to analyze. I knew that the drummer was the real deal right from the start when he played the triplets on the wedding party entrance song, the Dropkick Murphy's "Shipping Up to Boston". The guitar and bassist added so much energy to everything - all of the lead and bass lines were over the top great. Oh, and then the sax player let loose incredible melodies/improvs. Please thank them for this! The harmonies were great! Earth, Wind and Fire - fantastic. The singers, including yourself, were incredible, especially the guy! He had the whole package; range, diversity in music style (rap, classic, etc.). And a nicer group of people you wouldn't find anywhere!! Thanks also for letting me perform with my old bandmates. I really appreciated that your bass player let Don play his bass. It looked like a custom 5 string instrument that was probably worth 10 thousand or more dollars, so I understand his concerns about someone else playing his 'baby'. We're still in afterglow mode. I could go on. .. . The song selections were the perfect mix for the audience. My cousin was asking me to request 'Blurred Lines' and right after she said it your band played it! My voice is gone.
Deena Miller Band of Deena Miller Productions was to date the best band I've seen at a wedding and I've attended at least a dozen over the past few years...Deena herself is a delight to watch perform, she is a stunning woman and performs with elegance and vibrant enthusiasm and has a Beautiful voice that can belt out a tune as much as softly serenade with a ballad. The music they played spanned many genres but always sounded classic AND current, depending on what the song called for. I am so sorry I didn't have them at my own wedding, I went the DJ route and am sorry now I did!
There was not a guest in their seat during our wedding reception. You always hear about the bride and groom not getting to eat... Well our GUESTS said their food got cold because they would not miss a moment on the dance floor! The energy that Deena and her band brought was incredible. They performed songs from every generation that had our family and friends all dancing and shouting together! There was non-stop music from the moment we began the cocktail hour to the last minute of our reception and our guests are raving about how amazing our band was. I suggest sticking with the live performances rather than having them play a track because the quality is just so much better and worth it! (we suggested playing the original track for our first dance but it was hard to hear.) Also be sure to be thorough with any direction and ideas for your party beforehand.
Deena Miller and band are the most incredible and amazing wedding band we have ever seen, and we were so honored and lucky to have them play for us. Thank you so much, i recommend Deena Miller to everyone and anyone that is getting married in the NY area!
