Dancehall Days Band is the band you need at your wedding!
They played at our wedding at the Four Seasons in Seattle and crushed it! I looked forever to find a talented band, with high quality singers, a big songlist, lots of energy, and woul...
d keep my guests on the dancefloor all night. I was looking at every band in Seattle, and couldn't find anyone that fit what we wanted, so expanded my search to Portland and I am so glad I did! Colby and the band were extremely professional, responsive, and so talented! When it came to organizing the band's travel to Seattle, it was so easy and affordable. My guests danced all night long and they couldn't believe the vocal range this band had. My husband's family is full of musicians and even they were all impressed with the band's work! If you are a Seattle bride, definitely hire Dancehall Days Band!

So much fun! See you at a Maui or CA show!
The best, you could not find better. Super pro, I book music for a living and knew right away these guys and gals are tops in musicianship, vocals, tight arrangements, professionalism, and they cook! If you want a classy and very very fun band ...
this is it.
Response from the Vendor on 06/27/2023
So great to work with you! We had fun. We ended up keeping the disco version of Can't Take My Eyes Off You.
Such an amazing day with Dancehall Days! They rolled with the weather with us and made such a fun and special wedding for the couple.
Response from the Vendor on 06/15/2023
That was an awesome day! Nice work!
Any questions?
Heard this band at a wedding and they were amazing! Great variety of music, lots of energy and very talented. I would absolutely hire them for my wedding!
Response from the Vendor on 05/22/2023
Aww thank you, Megan. We appreciate the kind words.
An amazingly professional group , amazing music and range of genres. Most amazingly, if you’re not watching you might think it was the actual band playing instead of a cover band. Brilliant!
Response from the Vendor on 05/22/2023
Awww thank you so much!
This was honestly one of the best wedding bands I’ve ever seen perform live. They were super easy to work with, very accommodating in every request, and absolutely made the party for our wedding which is exactly what we wanted because we love l...
ive music.
I would highly recommend this band to anyone considering getting one for their wedding.
Response from the Vendor on 05/22/2023
What a great night! We were all buzzing.
Thanks for hosting us and making us feel so great
Excellent band. So talented and fun. Very professional and according to my son, easy to work with.
Response from the Vendor on 05/21/2023
Thanks so much, Peggy. It was an honor to entertain
These guys are incredible. Everyone was on the dance floor all night! They learned a few new songs that were meaningful to us for our wedding night and BROUGHT THE HOUSE DOWN with every song they played. Super talented, easy to communicate with...
, all around wonderful - made our wedding an absolute dance party. We were thrilled.
Response from the Vendor on 05/01/2023
The day was AWESOME! We were honored to be part of such a beautiful wedding. Seriously, thank you.
We got married 5 years ago and people still talk about the live band we had! They absolutely crushed it. People were dancing and singing along, nonstop. Highly recommend this band for an upbeat, fun and memorable dance floor.
Response from the Vendor on 03/27/2023
We loved doing the surprise song for Olivia.
You guys were a dream.
If you're on the fence about a live band for your big day, go ahead and hop on down and hire Dancehall Days. Their energy and performance were incredible and kept people on the dance floor all night. Colby was great to plan with. He went above ...
and beyond to support on some separate A/V needs for our wedding and even kept the party going as a DJ once the band was done playing for night. There list of songs to perform is top notch and they even learned a couple more—one of which my husband wrote the lyrics for. I dare you to try and sit still while they're on stage.
Response from the Vendor on 03/27/2023
That was an awesome day! We loved working with you two. The energy never dimmed. It was totally our honor.
They made my wedding a night to remember!
They are easy to work with and go out of their way to make sure you night is perfect!!!
Response from the Vendor on 03/25/2023
Thank you so much for having us! That was such a beautiful and fun day. Everyone was ready to party and we had a blast.
Dear fellow brides-to-be,
I recently had the pleasure of hiring Dancehall Days to play at my wedding, and I can confidently say that they made our special day unforgettable! From the moment they started playing, they had our guests on their fe...
et and dancing the night away.
One of the things that impressed me most about Dancehall Days is their ability to play such a wide variety of musical genres. They had something for everyone, from classic hits that got the older crowd up and moving, to current chart-toppers that had our younger guests singing along.
The band's energy and enthusiasm were infectious, and they really knew how to read the crowd and keep the party going. Their passion for music was evident in every note they played, and it was impossible not to get caught up in the excitement.
But it wasn't just their musical talent that made Dancehall Days such a pleasure to work with. From our initial consultation to the day of the wedding, they were professional, friendly, and accommodating. They took the time to understand our vision for the day and made sure that their performance reflected our style and taste.
Overall, I can't recommend Dancehall Days enough. They were the perfect band for our wedding!
Sincerely,
Bobbi D

It was a beautiful wedding! Thank you for the honor of being part of it.
Your crew was super fun and so friendly.
I was asked for a biz card several times, so we may see each other again soon. Hopefully on Maui again.
On one of my first dates with my now husband, we saw Dancehall Days play at a local bar. We had the time of our lives singing along and making some of our first memories together. When we got engaged, there was no question that Dancehall Days w...
ould have to be a part of our big day, so I was thrilled when we booked them for our event. From start to finish, they exceeded all expectations. The dance floor was full from the moment it opened until the moment it closed, there wasn't a frown in the room, and the energy was electric. They truly were a magical presence at our wedding, and I could not be more thrilled with how everything turned out. Collaborating with Dancehall Days was a breeze, they were beyond accommodating, and are the talk of our guests even today (literally, one of my guests stopped me at work today and asked who they were because she LOVED them). 100 million percent recommend them for everything and anything, I cannot express how wonderful they are. Thank you, Dancehall Days for making our wedding so unbelievably fun and memorable.

What a gorgeous day! The Waverley Country Club looked amazing. Props to Catherine for the planning. It was an honor to be part of the celebration.
This band was INSANE and made our wedding SO special! Everyone at the wedding has been telling us what a great time they had and how much dancing they did. The songs and the band itself are incredible and worth it!!!
AMAZING!!!
DanceHall Days was incredible at our wedding. We had a lively dance floor thanks to these guys, who kept the party going. Awesome talent, extreme ease of communication leading up to the event, and super professional. 10/10 recommend.
Response from the Vendor on 09/19/2022
What a beautiful night. Thank you so much for the pleasure of being part of it.
We had a lot fun with your crew.
Dancehall Days was fantastic. They had an extensive song list and played all the hits. They were a highlight of our wedding and would recommend them to anyone wanting to add something special to their magical day.
Response from the Vendor on 08/31/2022
Thank you so much! We had a blast and it was such a beautiful wedding.
If I could give Dancehall Days 6 stars, I would. They played for our wedding in August 2022, and I had SO MANY people come up to me and say they were the absolute best wedding band they had ever seen.
Their musicianship is awesome, they play ...
the hits without it seeming corny, and their energy was unmatched. For the last 90 minutes of our party, pretty much every single person at the wedding was on the dance floor the entire time.
On top of all the great vibes listed above, Colby was far and away our most responsive vendor. We had a big list of requests (from them handling ceremony sound, to playing trimmed down versions of songs for first dances, to them learning a song for us, etc.) and they nailed every one of them. Book Dancehall Days!!!
Response from the Vendor on 08/17/2022
Such a cool night! Thank you for bringing on the horn section. Your guests were so fun and ready to dance. We really appreciate the opportunity to be part of the wedding.
Dancehall days were incredible for our big day! They were so easy to work with for booking and preparation beforehand, and everything was seamless on the day. Their music was amazing, and countless guests commented on their performance. Wouldn...
't hesitate to hire them for a future event!
Response from the Vendor on 08/10/2022
It was a beautiful day! Lots of Scottish influence and fun. It was so relaxed and joyful. Thank you for the pleasure of being part of it all.
Dancehall Days absolutely crushed our wedding!
That sentence should be all you need but I will elaborate.
The groom is a professional musician and a good portion of our guests were professional or semi professional musicians and artists and the...
ir jaws dropped at the first notes of the evening. Furthermore, friends and family members who wouldn't be caught dead on the dance floor at past events, had to be dragged off the dance floor on this night because of the vibes being thrown by the DD.
Colby helped with our sound for our ceremony and dinner toasts and was a chill presence to have around in the pre ceremony when nerves can be in the air.
The band is so impressive top to bottom and can shift from genres on a dime to react to the mood of the room.
Their sound is so dialed that you can hear their incredible voices and each instrument crystal clear from wherever you are on the dance floor or in our case, across the lake.
After our wedding we received so many messages from friends and family that "no one wanted the night to end".
I think this quote sums up Dancehall Days best:
We have very few regrets but, one of them is that the music was so good we couldn’t pull ourselves off the dance floor long enough to experience the rest of the party or even just take a walk around the lake. Which is a pretty funny regret, "I wish I hadn’t had so much fun dancing at my own wedding”.
Thanks Dancehall Days. We can't wait to party with you again, and we will!
Caroline and Jake

What a fun night! Everyone was ready to party from first song to last. I got hugs from total strangers haha. Thanks for the opportunity to entertain. Great song choices!! We had an absolute blast!
Dancehall Days played at our wedding in Hood River, OR and we had the best time!! They were so easy to work with leading up to the wedding, and brought the best energy to the wedding day itself! The band played up until the last minute and kept...
all our guests on the dance floor the entire night. We truly enjoyed working with them and believed they helped make our wedding celebration a night we'll never forget!
The most fun wedding band around! We have seen Dancehall Days perform over the years, and every single performance is full of fun and excitement. We knew we needed to hire them for our wedding. They were one of the first vendors we booked becau...
se we couldn't bear to celebrate our big day without them! From the very beginning they were extremely easy to work with and very flexible with some last minute wedding party entrance requests.
The dance floor was never empty at our wedding and we have had our guests raving about the band! HIGHLY recommend Dancehall Days for your wedding!!!!
Response from the Vendor on 06/27/2022
We had a blast!! Thanks so much for having us. Everyone was so nice and complimentary. Adornment really had the ballroom looking gorgeous. See you at a gig soon!
Do you want to have so much fun dancing with your guests that your pants rip?! Then Dancehall Days is your wedding band!
From beginning to end, they’ve been thoughtful and collaborative partners especially Colby Hendricks.
During our prep, ...
they worked with us on our vision and make every conversation easy-going and enjoyable.
During the reception, they engaged our crowd and sounded amazing! So amazing that my husband (the groom) ripped his pants on the dance floor because he was feeling their groove so much!
In addition, so many guests complimented that they were the best part of our wedding ❤️❤️❤️
Response from the Vendor on 06/22/2022
Hahahah the timing of that moment could not have been more perfect.
I told him that I could relate, as same thing happened to me on final note of the NYE 2016 gig.
Your crew showed up ready to get down!
See you at a gig soon!
TRULY WORTH EVERY PENNY!!! They were so amazing, from the cocktail music they played for dining hour that completely kicked off the night and added a level of class and sophistication, to the reception dancing that got literally EVERY SINGLE P...
ERSON out of their seats, this band is a class act. If you’re trying to decide what’s the most important thing for your reception, let me assure you, no one will remember the centerpieces, no one really cares about the food, but dancing the night away the night surrounded by all of your family and friends?? TRUE MAGIC.
The absolute best wedding band out there. Hands down. BOOK THEM NOW, wherever you are!! My photog (who shoots a LOT of weddings) said Dancehall Days was the best wedding band she’s heard. I can’t tell you how many people came up to me and said ...
how awesome they were and how impressive their set and vocals were (sooo many different kinds of songs)! The dance floor was literally NEVER empty.

We had a blast! Your crew showed up to party. What a gorgeous wedding!
We had the pleasure of hiring Dancehall Days to perform at our September wedding and they did not disappoint! I've heard them over the years at different venues and we knew they'd be a huge hit. The band has a huge range of song choices and lar...
ge ensemble. The band's manager Colby reached out to us prior to the day and discussed all of our song choices, made sure we were comfortable with the set list and was accommodating to all of our wishes. Our guests danced the night away, even my 96 year old grandfather made his way to the dance floor. I cannot recommend them enough for your next event!
Response from the Vendor on 12/15/2021
Super fun crowd of dancers. Thanks for the awesome gig and I just received your beautiful Christmas card!
Dancehall Days was a hit! We have always enjoyed how entertaining and engaging they were with fans, and knew our family and friends would too.
They were responsive and adaptable to change as our venue changed last minute due to weather. Their ...

STOP. Don't look any further for a wedding band.
Our wedding was a freaking magical event because of Dancehall Days. So grateful we didn't get a DJ or literally anyone else.
10 stars recommendation :-)
Dancehall days was hands down one of the best parts of our wedding. I couldn’t have asked for an easier group to work with, and they absolutely KILLED it up on stage. Our dance floor was packed ALL night, and we had such a blast dancing with al...

You should absolutely hire this band! We seriously had the most amazing time with them as the primary music at our wedding and got so many questions "where did you find this band??" They let us choose the top 30 songs we wanted to have played f...
rom their set list but also read the crowd and threw in a few surprises that were total hits. The vocalists are so talented and overall it was just such a fun vibe. They also worked extremely well with the DJ we had and the whole night was seamless with a jam packed dance floor. Colby was super responsive and easy to work with. Would totally recommend!
This band is AMAZING!!! All of our guest were absolutely blown away with how great they were. We danced all night! They get a 10/10. Music selection was great. The lead singer is crazy good. Think no further- book them. You will not regret it.
Amazing band with so much talent, they kept the party going all night long and were super responsible to work with the entire process. All of our guests LOVED them and couldn't stop raving about them the next day. Highly recommend Dancehall Day...

This band was fantastic and very easy to work with. They played so many of our favorite songs and really got the party going. The next day we had so many guests tell us that the band was one of the biggest highlights. They also did a great job ...
playing music from an iPod while the band was getting a break. I'd recommend them to anyone getting married!
Dancehall Days was the best part of our wedding. Hands down. Our dance floor was packed the entire night. They learned a wonderful version of our first dance song, and their sound system worked perfectly for any recorded music. They let us send...
over a song list that encompassed the wide-ranging tastes and the different generations of our guests. They even let my husband's band use their instruments and equipment to play a short set. Couldn't be more pleased with these top-notch musicians.
DanceHall Days are incredible! They are absolutely perfect for a wedding or any party that you want to be as fun as possible. The song selection is huge and diverse and they learn a new song for you (and nail it). Our guests did not stop tellin...

We hired this band for our wedding in June of this year. Colby was very punctual with communication, usually answered my emails within an hour if not sooner! You knew he truly wanted us to have the best day! Everyone at our wedding loved the ba...
nd and thought it was a fun and unique touch. They play every genre and can please any crowd. Wedding guests still comment about how fun the band was and how it made it the best wedding they have ever been too! This was one of parts of my wedding I was looking forward to the most and they nailed it! Not to mention very talented singers. Now I just need to find an excuse to hire them again!
We hired Dancehalls Days to play our wedding reception and they were amazing! They played such a variety of music, are amazing musicians, and the singers were incredible. Colby was so great to work with and was a professional through and throug...
h. He even stayed over to help out with the sounds for our friend’s band that played a late night set. All our guests kept asking who the band was. Best money we spent! If you need a band, hire Dancehall Days. One of the best wedding bands I’ve ever seen and at a reasonable price!
Hiring Dancehall Days was one of the best decisions we made in planning our wedding. They are amazingly talented, know how to read the crowd and give them what they want, very professional and incredibly responsive (so much so that I started to...
wonder if Colby responded to emails mid-performance since I couldn’t understand how else we was so consistently able to respond to my questions within about 30 seconds—he didn’t :)). We had them play during cocktail hour and were nervous about it being too loud and interrupting conversation/making people feel like they should be attending to the band rather just mingling, but it was perfect—created ambiance without being at all distracting. For the dance sets, the volume and music selection was perfect, and they even indulged a request of mine to sing a song with them. By the last set (the first set people were a little distracted by pie/the view of Mt. Hood at sunset), the dance-floor was packed with younger and older guests alike (in fact, only 2 guests opted to take the early shuttle home and I credit them for that!). Our guests couldn’t stop talking about how awesome they were, asking how we found them, etc., and we agreed.
We were so happy with Dancehall Days!!
It wasn't just any band, felt like we hired celebrities!
They were very Professional and Colby is very easy to communicate with and met our needs X's 100.

I Highly recommend. Thanks again DHD
From the very earliest days of planning our wedding, our top priority was booking a good band. A good live band can get an entire room dancing the way a DJ just can't match.
Dancehall Days absolutely killed it at our reception. The energy was ...
perfect, the song selection was spot-on, and everybody danced all night long. Best party ever.
I hate to give two stars but was disappointed. The band overall played great and could sing great esp. the two girls. However, my wedding ended up being not what I thought. First, aisle music was played with the wrong song. Then the band took o...
ver the photographers table and started to eat when it wasn't in their contract to feed them. So I had to explain to my photographers what happened and have them eat in another room. I paid for 4 hours of play time and they played for 2. My mother has to go get the band and have them start to play. Just disorganized and no apology from the band
Response from the Vendor on 01/29/2018
This breaks our heart to see this and know that it has been here since August. Nader and Kelly, we are so very sorry that you were not pleased. As you can see from all of our many reviews on the internet, we go above and beyond to ensure that e...
very one of our clients feels as though they received an experience that is worthy of a 5 star review.
This was the ethic that we applied to your wedding and it pains us to read that you were unsatisfied. As I explained in our email correspondence, after the wedding, every one of your complaints was a result of the band being placed in a "can't win" situation, completely beyond our control and there was certainly no lack of effort on our part to ensure that your wedding was perfect.
This band was amazing! They were super professional and a lot of fun. They mastered our first dance song with ease and ensured that guests were on the dance floor throughout our entire reception.
We hired Dancehall Days to play at our wedding after searching ALL OVER town for a band that played the music we love but didn't charge half of our wedding budget. They do a lot of gigs around town, so we had the chance to go check them out bef...
ore hiring them. I saw a lot of par and subpar bands in my quest, but the moment we say Dancehall Days we knew they were perfect for our wedding. The played everything from Aretha Franklin to Led Zepplin to Keith Urban to Whitney Houston. We danced and sang along to almost every song they played. They kept the energy up and people dancing through our entire reception. We had a BIG dance floor and it was packed all night! My husband is a huge fan of Hall & Oates, so they made sure to learn and play some of their biggest hits. They also let some of our guests (with our approval) get up and sing with them - what a riot! We couldn't have been happier with our choice and can't recommend them enough! Live music really adds a different vibe to your wedding than a DJ can, and Dancehall Days was spot on with the energy and jams we needed. THANK YOU Colby, Darcy, and team - our day would not have been 1/10th of the party without you!
