Drywater was one of the best parts of our day among many! Matthew and Lenora and the rest of the band crushed it!! People are still talking about them today! 2 weeks later!

Andrew had excellent communication when I had questions. The band was very important to us and they all knocked it out of the park. James O'Neal was our lead singer and not only is he an amazing singer, but he is the kindest human. He took the time to talk to me and my husband, and also made my mom's night by bringing her on stage! I cannot recommend them enough!!!

ct set list. They engaged the entire audience which is saying something considering the age and music preference ranges of our guests! Every single guest spent time on the dance floor.

They were INCREDIBLE!!!! The range, the talent, the engagement was just more than we could have ever even hoped for.

commented how the songs sounded so much like the original and how impressive the vocals were. We were dancing all night long! Secondly, our point of contact Andrew Pena was super responsive the entire process, welcoming multiple zoom meetings to go over our timeline and special requests with both us and our coordinator. I cannot recommend Drywater band enough!

and also so fun. The vocalist were excellent! I can’t say enough about this band! Our guests came up to me all night asking, “Where did you find this band?” I would hire them again and again and again.
Two weddings in 16 month and the Drywater Band made them both a huge success. Lots of great comments about the quality band. Everyone of the band members was fantastic!
The Drywater Band is probably the best wedding and event band in existence. So professional and polished. I had them play for my daughter's wedding last weekend and they CRUSHED ...
IT. People were out on the floor dancing the whole night. The band members were super friendly, too. It's clear that they love what they do and were happy to be there. As far as I'm concerned, there is no substitute for The Drywater Band. When my other daughter gets married, I'm absolutely hiring them again.
This was hands down the best investment toward our wedding. The Drywater band was so incredible and professional! They were so easy to communicate with prior to the big day and eve...
ry song request or change to songs was granted. Even while my guests were eating dinner people were cheering because the music was so incredible. It was like being at a concert! My guests were truly dancing all night long and even months after the wedding they are still talking about how amazing the band was and how much fun they had. All the musicians were interacting on the dance floor with our guests and they did an amazing job MCing the whole night.
My advice is invest in this band over other decor options, because at the end of the day your guests wont remember the decor, but they will remember how much fun they had, and this band is worth the investment!
Growing up in the music world myself I might have been a little bit more critical when choosing a band for my wedding! Well Drywater Band knocked it out of the park! They were the ...
most amazing wedding band and that is the opinion from me and the entire wedding party of the evening! I landed out on the stage by the end of the night and it truly was the time of my life ! I would have chose this band over and over and over again!!!! My father in law said they might need to hire them for a small party ….and my one friend said she now wants to get married again because of how amazing my wedding was! Thank you so much for everything Drywater! Until next time 🎶🎤🎹

Best. Band. EVER! I got married in March 2023 and have lost count on how many of our friends/family members have reached out saying that was the best band they have ever seen. Dry ...
Water Band not only has amazing talent on the stage, but they also do a fantastic job with engaging/interacting with the crowd and making it a fun atmosphere for the entire night. The dance floor was never empty and everyone did not want the night to end! It was truly the best day of our lives and Dry Water Band played a HUGE role in that. You will NOT regret hiring them for you wedding day!
Seriously the best band ever! could not have asked for a better night !!!
The Drywater Band was INCREDIBLE! Everything about them was exquisite - high energy, interactive, phenomenal talent and exceptional performers! They truly took our wedding receptio...
n to a whole other level and kept everyone dancing all night. Our guests had nothing but compliments about how this was the best band out of all the weddings they'd been to and about how much fun it was to be out on the dance floor. This was the first vendor we booked after securing our reception venue and date. They were so easy to work with and had a wide range of excellent song selection options for us to choose from. We looked into multiple bands, but there was no question about our top pick after watching Drywater Band's videos and reading their reviews. I cannot say enough good things about this band. They are worth every penny! Highly HIGHLY recommend!!!
This band was AMAZING!!! Best cover band I've ever heard. They played all the right songs at just the right time, brought everyone to the dance floor of every age and no one want...

Worth every penny. I may be biased, but I’ve never heard a better wedding band. They kept the party going all night and their seemingly limitless options for set lists sealed the d...
eal for us. I can’t say enough good things about this band or the company behind them. You cannot go wrong using dry water! You will not regret it.
Our experience with Dry Water Band was phenomenal. DWB was the first contract we signed after we secured our venue because I knew that the event wouldn't be the same without them. ...
We hired a 10-piece band for our reception, and they brought the house down! All of the DWB staff are not only talented musicians but also outstanding performers. Their stage presence is unmatched and kept people dancing until the end of the night. Some guests got up and started dancing during dinner service because the music was that good. My husband and I received so many compliments from guests about the band -- many said that it was the best live music performance they'd been to (which is saying something since me, my mom, sister, brother-in-law, aunt, and cousins are all classically trained musicians!). Highly recommend.
Usually everyone says the band makes the wedding or is a big part of it and this could not of been a truer statement. Drywater was amazing and made our wedding such an Epic night. ...
Everyone said they rocked it all night long and made everyone have such a great time.
Drywater Band is incredible! They made our wedding night unbelievable and all of our guests had so much fun singing and dancing with the band!
The Drywater Band is phenomenal! I’ve been lucky enough to use them for 2 weddings. Both times they brought fantastic energy, superior sound and obvious professionalism to create ...
a magical evening that remained In everyone’s memory long after the event was over.
They were fantastic!!! Not only did all the young people dance all night but also my age group -66 year olds!
We loved them! Couldn’t be happier!
The Drywater Band was the best part of my daughter’s wedding. They never paused between songs. Everyone in the venue were out of their seats dancing, even my 93 year old mother. Th...
ey might be a little more than other bands but cut down on your flowers or your catering and hire these people and you won’t regret it. Everyone mentioned to me all night “Where did you find this band?” , “They are the best wedding band I have ever heard”.
It was like we were in a concert. I can’t stop smiling! They were absolutely awesome!
The band Drywater was phenomenal!!! Afterward the wedding so many guests were asking about them. We've received so many compliments on how great they performed & sounded. It really...
impressed & excited everyone to hear them. Also the singer Angel was especially accommodating & definitely made the Bride & I feel like we could tell him anything we needed & he would take care of it. Great guy, great voice. The whole band was on point all night.
They sing as well as they perform. I highly recommend them if you want everyone to enjoy and remember a fantastic wedding/event. They are truly impressive.

Drywater was the PERFECT addition to our New Year's Eve wedding! On top of being easy to plan and work with, the band was lively, energetic, extremely talented, and had our guests ...
on their feet all night long. We had so many guests raving about the band, and telling us that they typically don't dance at weddings, but ours was the exception! The vibes were fantastic from start to finish, and I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a stellar wedding band.
Drywater played at our daughter's wedding and was a huge hit with our guests. Their delivery of the songs was perfect and their energy level was over the top. We hated for the ev...
