Wow, I don't even know where to begin! Danny Ray and the Atlantic Street Band were absolutely amazing; we still have guests telling us this was the best band they have EVER heard! From the staging to the ceremony to the cocktail reception, and then to a night of dancing and celebration, they were the absolute highlight and hit of the party! Words really can't do justice to how fantastic they were and the great time everyone had. The dancefloor was packed all night, and everyone kept telling me they didn't want the night to end thanks to Danny Ray and the Atlantic Street Band!

Danny Ray was an absolute dream to work with! He paid close attention to our music preferences and perfectly tailored the setlist to match our taste. His band was nothing short of extraordinary—beyond our wildest expectations. MANY of our guests have told us that Danny Ray is the best wedding band they've EVER seen. They were a huge highlight of the night, if not THE highlight (coming from the bride.) Do yourself a favor and book them—you won’t regret it!

Danny Ray is hands down the best wedding band EVER. Everyone danced all night long! After the wedding, we have had been told by several people that the band was absolutely incredible and wants to book for their own wedding or their kids wedding. We highly recommend - we actually booked our wedding around their schedule because we knew how amazing they were!

Danny Ray and the band absolutely crushed it. The entire night was so special and so fun. We received countless compliments on their performance and it was certainly the best night of our lives- no small part of it was thanks to the band and the electric energy they brought to the reception. I first saw them perform at a friends wedding and immediately knew they were a must book vendor for our own wedding. I think I booked the venue/date first and Danny Ray second and you should too! We had kind of an eclectic music selections ranging from old school country to pop to classic funky sing alongs but the execution was so smooth and fun and the songs flowed together perfectly. The horns were coming in and out of the audience making it feel so fun and lively. Everyone had hoarse voices on Sunday morning and sore feet from singing and dancing. I really cannot stress enough how incredible they were and how energetic the dancing and presentation was. Thank you THANK YOU to Danny Ray and the band! Y'all are amazing!

This is THE band. When I say we and our guests were blown away, I mean it was genuinely what everyone was talking about.
They absolutely nailed it. From aisle instrumentals, a jazzy cocktail hour and dinner, to a killer party; they created the energy we were looking for at every stage of the night.
They learned new songs for us and tailored to the preferences we had. During dancing, they did not miss a beat; songs transitioned seamlessly and they did some insanely cool mashups. We danced our hearts out. And so did they. We love how they came down and interacted with the crowd. We were awestruck. Book this band!!!

What even!!! Danny’s band gave me the dance party of my DREAMS!!! They were single-handedly the best part of the whole day. When I think of my wedding day I will always think of the dance floor!
I was totally not prepared for the amazing mashups they do!!! I knew they were a fun band based on reviews and videos, but to experience it in person was like nothing else.
We were behind schedule and the band wasted no time getting on the dance floor with us to kick off the party.
They even learned the aggie war hymn for our second-line send off, which was really sweet.
Everyone raved about the band and several people planning weddings asked us who they were. “I’m jealous this isn’t my band!” -said one friend who already booked her wedding band
Book Danny ray! It’ll be the best decision you make!

Booking Danny Ray and the Atlantic Street band was the best decision we ever made for our wedding. I am writing this review the night of our wedding because it was so incredible! Our dance floor was packed all night and our guests have not stopped raving about how incredible the band was and how they were the best wedding band they had seen! I have a huge Honduran family and they played a few latin songs perfectly! The rest of the music was amazing and I love how interactive the band was with the crowd. We love Danny ray and the Atlantic street band and would recommend them for any event. It was the truly best decision for our wedding day and they made our wedding the wedding of our dreams

Danny Ray and the Atlantic Street Band were the absolute life of our wedding party! They were mentioned by countless guests as one of the main highlights of the night.

Not only were they phenomenal performers, but they were also a dream to work with. They were incredibly responsive, fun, and genuinely invested in making our day perfect. Their ability to seamlessly incorporate our preferred music styles into both our ceremony and reception was truly impressive.
Hiring Danny Ray and the Atlantic Street Band was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. We cannot recommend them highly enough!

We recently had the incredible pleasure of having DANNY RAY and the ATLANTIC STREET BAND perform at our wedding, and they were nothing short of phenomenal! Their energy was infectious and they engaged with the crowd to have everyone on the dance floor.
Their professionalism was evident from our first interaction. Danny took the time to get to know us and what we were looking for and executed it flawlessly, even surpassing our expectations! They covered a wide range of genres with such great energy and passion.
Our guests are still raving about DANNY RAY and the ATLANTIC STREET BAND and how much fun they had on the dance floor. They truly made our wedding day extraordinary, and we couldn't have asked for a better band to celebrate with. They are simply the best!

Danny Ray and the Atlantic Street band is absolutely EPIC!! An incredible band/entertainment was the most important thing to me on my wedding day and they did NOT disappoint in the slightest! The band members were out on the dance floor interacting with guests and had my guests on the dance floor ALL night, even during dinner! They played a varieties of music so all ages were dancing! They surprised me with a short Taylor swift set b/c they knew I loved her and my bridesmaids are still talking about how epic it was. All of my guests were RAVING about this band and asking us the name for weeks after the wedding. So many said it was the best wedding they've been to b/c of this band.

ok WOW!!! We had Danny Ray and the Atlantic Street Band play at our wedding and we seriously had the time of our lives!!! The energy of this band is completely unmatched and the talent is absolutely incredible. Danny Ray was so receptive and enthusiastic about any requests for special songs to be played and the entire night was just perfect. Our guests have absolutely RAVED about this band!! The most fun part was when the band actually came onto the dance floor with their instruments and got to interact with the crowd. They even let my mom and I play the tambourine on stage for an embarrassingly long amount of time lol. Danny Ray and the Atlantic Street Band are worth every single penny and will absolutely take your wedding or event to the next level. Our night was completely unforgettable thanks to them!! THANK YOU Danny Ray and the Atlantic Street Band!!!

We had Danny Ray and the Atlantic Street Band for our wedding reception and it was one of the best decisions we made. From the beginning of the process, speaking with Danny on the phone and working with his team we had a really great experience. Danny was great to talk to and we were excited to have him on board.
The night of our wedding they blew us away with their energy and talent! The saxophone player during cocktail hour was so incredibly talented and created a great atmosphere. When the band started playing during the reception the dance floor was never empty. We definitely needed a bigger dance floor. It was packed! I don't think there was a single person sitting down. Danny Ray and the band brought so much energy! Everyone had a blast dancing! We have had so many people tell us how great the band was and how much fun they had. We had the best night of our lives and we're so glad we got to dance all night to Danny Ray and the rest of the band! Hoping we can see them again sometime!

We had Danny Ray and the Atlantic Street Band play our wedding and they made the party. From the beginning of the reception until the end, the only times when there was room on the dance floor was when they took a break. The energy they brought was infectious. Even my old grandma was up dancing all night. They are all incredible musicians, can play almost anything, an seemed like they were having as good a time as we were all night. After the party, we had numerous people specifically comment that this was the best wedding band they had heard.
We also had their saxophone player play during a cocktail hour prior the reception, and he was incredibly talented and created a beautiful atmosphere.

Danny Ray and the Atlantic Street Band is by far the best band I've ever listened to! We are so happy we chose them for our big day and had a BLAST! Our guests are still asking for their contact info saying our wedding was the most fun they've ever been to and how much fun our band was! They are true performers that come with high energy and get your guests on the dance floor! They are skilled in playing a variety of all kinds of music and will play your favorite genres/songs! I will definitely use them in the future for big parties/birthdays.

Danny Ray and The Atlantic Street Band- I truly believe is the GREATEST wedding band of all time!!! We were lucky enough to have them at our wedding this past winter and they blew everyone away. They were a highlight of the night, getting everyone up and dancing. Their ability to engage with the crowd by coming out onto the dance floor added an incredibly special and lively touch. 3 months later, guests are still talking about Danny and his band and how it was the best band they've ever seen at a wedding. On top of being incredible musicians, Danny and the entire band were such a joy to work with. We can't recommend them enough and if you are planning your wedding-BOOK THEM!!!

Danny Ray and the Atlantic Street Band were truly the highlight of our reception! Everyone still talks about their performance! Best wedding band ever! We chose them because when we asked Danny what his strength was, he said he could feel a crowd and know what to play to keep the energy of the room going. He was not kidding! They came out onto the dance floor, too! It was truly epic. As a performer myself, I can say they left it all on the stage.
Danny also worked with us in the moment: my husband asked me to sing so we went up to Danny during the break. He was so chill about me singing with him and the band.

Danny Ray and the Atlantic Street Band was the best band we could have ever chosen. We looked high and low for a band that would be upbeat and get everyone on the dance floor. Danny Ray and his team showed up and SHOWED OUT. I probably have been asked over 20 times the name of my band because everyone had so much fun. They do mashups where each song blends into the next and so there is never a dull moment. I am hiring them for any and every event for the rest of my life lol. Also, they are a very seasoned band, so they already had performed at my venue (Hotel ZaZa - Museum District) and knew the acoustics perfectly. Piano during cocktail hour/light jazzy music during dinner - which was the perfect volume and I could talk to people at the table without raising my voice/and then the dancing was absolutely popping. Look no further, hire this band!!!!!

If you want to talk about the band at your wedding for years to come, hire Danny Ray and the Atlantic Street Band! They are not your run-of-the-mill wedding band. They had more personality than any other band that we looked at. They got everyone on the dance floor. Their mashups were put together in a thoughtful way. They were incredibly easy to work with, and we didn’t have to worry about anything. We were a bit nervous about our first dance song, which was written by a local Austin artist, because we worked with a choreographer to put some steps together. They did a wonderful job, and we did not miss a step! We and our guests loved Danny Ray and the Atlantic Street Band at our wedding!!

This band is going to blow your mind. Not only will they meet your expectations, they will absolutely go above and beyond what you think your getting. I’m in the entertainment industry and this is not your typical wedding band. They are a GREAT band with high ENERGY and they throw an AWESOME party! My wife and I, along with all of our guests had the BEST time at our reception. People are stilling telling us how much FUN they had. It was a REAL CONCERT and a DANCE PARTY all in one. Danny and his team are professional, courteous and are all extremely talented musicians and singers. They PARTY with you!! They played hit after hit and kept the good vibes going all night long. At multiple points they were on the dances floor with us ROCKING OUT! We had high expectations and we honestly can’t thank them enough for making our night so memorable for everyone.
Book this band, you won’t regret it!

Danny Ray and the Atlantic Street Band was one of the very first vendors we booked, and it was the best decision! So many of our guests told us afterwards that it was the most fun wedding they had ever been to because of the band, and how they kept everyone dancing the whole night! They learned several special request songs for us without any hesitation, and understood the "vibe" of what type of music we wanted played. They were also extremely easy to work with, and were always on top of details/event day logistics. They made our night so so memorable, and I would book them again in a heartbeat!

Wow. Just wow. DANNY RAY and the ATLANTIC STREET BAND are truly the greatest wedding band we could have asked for. The band is filled with talented and lively musicians that carry a tremendous amount of energy throughout the entire night. The group was accommodating and learned new songs just for our wedding. All of their covers are fantastic, but in particular we loved their different medleys (Oldies, 2000s rock, pop and more). Above all else, Danny is simply one of the friendliest people we've met and just a joy to work with! We had a lot of specific asks him and his band always responded to them with excitement.

We could not have asked for a better wedding band! We first attended a wedding and saw them a year before our engagement and had the best time dancing all night. When we got engaged, they were among the first calls I made to ensure we could book them in alignment with our venue and church... and they did not disappoint! Our goal was to have an upbeat, fun reception where few choose to leave the dance floor. Danny Ray & the Atlantic Street Band are THAT band that keeps up the energy throughout the night and makes sure your guests are having a blast dancing all night!

Wow! This band is incredible! I am so thankful that we worked with Danny Ray and the band. You can count on them. Working with Danny was very professional. Danny was able to deliver a blend of two songs that I had requested. I wanted a high energy band that could deliver a blend of music genres and that is what we got. We have heard from friends and family that our wedding was the most fun they have ever been to. When I catch up with friends and they mention my wedding they almost always comment on how incredible the band was. I would attribute all of these comments to the work of Danny Ray and the Atlantic Street Band! I would recommend checking out their instagram if you have not seen it yet.

We HIGHLYYYYY recommend Danny Ray and the Atlantic Street band. They played our wedding reception in San Antonio and people were absolutely gushing to us about how much fun they were. They did some really fun mashups that were huge crowd pleasers. And their set list is super diverse, so we heard a little bit of all of our pop favorites — Kesha, Selena, Blink 182, etc. — along with the wedding classics that get everyone on the dance floor.
But the most special part of all is that they learned FOUR songs for us that we wanted to hear for our first dance, the father-daughter dance, the mother-son dance, and a surprise song for our parents’ 40th anniversary. It just made our reception feel so personal and unique.
I really couldn’t recommend them more. We hope you choose them for your wedding!

We could not have been happier with our decision to hire Danny Ray and the Atlantic Street Band to play at our wedding! They were AMAZING from start to finish.
First (and less importantly, but still important) they were so easy to work with on the front end. Super amenable to our requests, learned a few songs for first dances, and were very quick on communication whenever we had questions or they needed information from us.
Second (and much more important) they absolutely CRUSHED the wedding reception! They brought so much energy and kept the dance floor popping from start to finish. Since our wedding ended, I've had a few of our guests tell me that it was the most fun wedding they've been to -- and that is due in no small part to the amazing show that Danny Ray and the Atlantic Street Band put on.
I truly can't say enough good things about this band -- they are amazing. Stop reading reviews and hire these guys!

Also, ask him about his lighting upgrades! We booked cold sparks through his lighting team and they were amazing!

Best. Wedding. Band. Ever. Literally every one of our guests said that. The dance floor was packed all night. NO ONE left our reception early because they couldn’t get off the dance floor. I’ve gotten multiple texts from our guests asking for their info. They played everything from AC/DC to Turnpike Troubadours to Britney Spears. Their medleys are so well put together and SO FUN! Best part of the night hands down and worth every penny!

Danny Ray and the Atlantic Street Band were absolutely amazing at our wedding - we had the BEST time with them. They are great performers and have a wide range of music they can play - they were also able to cover many songs we wanted played at our wedding by performing a variety of medleys, which also surprised our guests. The band also came down to the dance floor at a few points and performed amongst our guests, which they loved. After the wedding, many of our guests said the band was their favorite part.
Also, we were one of those couples that had to postpone multiple times due to COVID and Danny was incredibly understanding and supportive during that time. We were so excited to finally get to celebrate with him and his band after years of planning - they were perfect for our big celebration and we hope we get to celebrate with them again soon at other weddings/performances!

Choosing Danny Ray and the Atlantic Street Band (formerly Danny Ray and the Acoustic Production) was the best decision we made for our wedding. They’re not only extremely talented, but they’re also energetic, interactive and so much fun. They got everyone on the dance floor — and I mean everyone!

They were the entertainment our entire wedding; from a stunning trio during the ceremony, to the awesome saxophone during cocktail hour, to the whole band for the reception. We could not have asked for a better group of people to work with throughout this process. Not only did we have the best day of our lives, but many of our guests remarked how incredible the band was and what an amazing time they had dancing all night.

Danny Ray and the Atlantic Street Band were absolutely the best! They took our suggestions and combined them with their best and really got the place jumping! Everyone has been talking about how great the party was and that the band made it even better. I have seen them at two other weddings, and as a result based my wedding date on Danny Ray’s availability. No need to look anywhere else than this group.

You can stop your research and book this band. Here is the email i sent them. "Hey Danny I wanted to reach out to you and thank you again. We had really high expectations for the bands performance and you guys exceeded them. Hip replacements and arthritis couldn’t keep my mom off the dance floor, I’ll always remember my dad dancing with everyone in his wheelchair. Every guest of ours was so impressed by the band, and I genuinely think you guys made our wedding. "
Live bands are expensive, it is what it is, but if you can at all squeeze them into the budget at all, it makes for a completely different (better) wedding.

WOW WOW WOW!! Where do I begin on how amazing you guys were. You all MADE our whole wedding. The energy, the singing, the dancing, I can go on and on. We have not stopped being told that our wedding was the best people have ever attended and I wish it was because Jacob and I are so cool, but we all know it was because of YOU! No one left the dance floor, we have like 50 photobooth pics from guests because no one wanted to stop dancing and partying. I mean the entree course was almost missed because of people wanting to dance. The horns on the dance floor, the rapping to loose yourself, I replay the whole night over and over. I cannot wait to see the pictures of us dancing with the horns. I will send some your way as well. My maid of honor is like how do I get them to Florida for my wedding (let me know). Thank you for the bottom of our hearts for truly bringing everything you got. We truly had the best band ever and now I need to throw more parties to have you guys there! I hope the couple coming to see you guys booked right away because they would be crazy not too!

DO NOT look any further for a wedding band!!!!!
Danny Ray & his band are truly amazing, incredible, wonderful, & frankly unbelievably good at what they do.
Danny played acoustic for our ceremony & cocktail hour, flawlessly executing multiple EDM-type songs on an acoustic guitar as we walked down the aisle - all while hiding behind draping on a stage, leaving all of our guests thinking he was a recording until the draping dropped & they saw him on the stage at cocktail hour.
The calm acoustic music instantly shifted as the band took the stage for the reception. I knew Danny & the band were there to party the moment the trumpet player saw my college girl like excitement pointing at him & spontaneously jumped in front of us to second line us into the reception.
I truly didn't think it could get any better after Danny played his rendition of the untraditional break-up song we chose for our first dance, turning it into a beautiful wedding love song.
But I was SO wrong. Danny learned an iconic Ukrainian song and sang it for me & my family IN Ukrainian.. also flawlessly. I will cherish that moment forever!
Danny thank you for going above & beyond & then above some more to make sure our wedding was a moment we would never forget!!

If you’re hiring any other band you’re doing it wrong. Danny Ray was amazing from my very first email to them until end of the night!!! They’re so friendly, great performers, and we received sooooo many compliments about the band. This was one of the BEST decisions we made for our wedding!

Danny Ray & Team brought the energy for our wedding earlier this month! If you are looking for a band, this is the one to choose. We had the absolute best time dancing and singing, and we heard countless times from guests that this was the best wedding band they’ve ever seen. (One person, who works in events, said, “I don’t know why anyone would hire anyone else!”) The band brought incredible energy, played our favorite songs — including songs specific to both brides' cultures — had a keen detail and care in the lead up to the event, and made us and our guests feel like a million bucks. Their inclusive setlist hit all the genres that were special to us, and they kept the party going all night!

There are lots of decisions to make when having a wedding-- what to serve at dinner, the floral arrangements, bridesmaid dresses, etc. Luckily, choosing a band was not a struggle for us! The second we watched a Danny Ray and the Acoustic Production video on Youtube, we knew they were perfect! On our wedding night, Danny and his band went above and beyond our expectation. They were absolutely electrifying! Everyone in the room ages 3-90 was dancing. The band played music from all the decades and nailed the hora, a special part of our Jewish celebration. Before the wedding, we had a phone call with Danny, where we were able to discuss our music preferences. The band even catered to my oddly specific request of no electric guitar solos seamlessly replacing them with upbeat horns and piano. We also had a special request for our last song, and Danny could not have made the moment more beautiful. Hiring Danny Ray and the Acoustic Production should be the easiest wedding decision you make. It’s been over a week since our wedding and people are still talking about how great the band was.

I've waited nearly three weeks from my wedding on October 9th to write this review because I still can't believe that was *MY* wedding. I am still so floored and in disbelief at how absolutely EPIC Danny Ray and his team were to work with. From changing dates bc of COVID to working through our sound and song choices, he was professional and efficient, so kind and such an awesome human being. A dream of a vendor to work with. On the day of our wedding, they set the tone and pace for the evening. It was flawless execution from the get go.
We selected a guitarist and cellist for ceremony, and their acoustic rendition of First day of my life that I walked down the aisle to still makes my heart flutter from nervous excitement. They curated an ultra romantic ambience and I'm glad I had their magic touch instead of playing it over speaker. For the unity candle, my husband requested the song Going Home from the anime Bleach on guitar, and when we heard Danny play it live (and not played over speaker) I was so surprised, and impressed.
A few unforgettable, priceless memories that live in my head and make my heart swell with happiness from the rest of the night (made possible by the soundtrack of Danny and his stellar team) are:
- About a dozen of my friends and family putting their forks down MID-FIRST COURSE to get up on the dance floor and hold their person because Constance's rendition of At Last was soo moving, smooth, and powerful that they just *had to* get up and slow dance. I looked up and that scene of my loved ones taking in the beauty of that moment, holding their partner close made my eyes well up (and lashes come loose)
- Danny transitioning the father daughter dance from a tear jerker Celine Dion ballad to the upbeat Isn't She Lovely, and grooving out super silly with my dad
- We asked our friends to sing a duet for our first dance (Best Part by HER/ Daniel Caesar) and they did to a piano track. The band came in and elevated the track, played along like it was a jam session and threw in smooth baseline and guitar melody, adding so much dimension to the number it was awesome
- Belting out Blink 182 and Mr Brightside with my friends from high school and medical school!! It was the warped tour we always wanted to go to!
- Singing Dancing Queen with my mama and aunties
- Dancing to Ain't no mountain high enough with my parents and (introverted/ reserved) in-laws
- My 78 year old pops getting up on a chair and dancing with Danny and the horns (who were also standing up on chairs and jamming out)
- My parents and their friends (in their 60s) used to go to discos together and they were dancing like they were in their 20s again! I have footage of my dad and his friends grooving to Earth Wind and Fire like it was the 80s with backs of their shirts drenched, and moms trying to pat off sweat with dinner napkins!
- Toddler nephews and friend's young kiddos having a blast on the dance floor, attempting to break dance and twirling their little heart out
Our guests hashtagged the night #Kohchella - a play off my new last name (Koh) and because the music was so groovy and band made the most epic evening of a party. All in all, Danny's team was well worth every single penny. I would choose this band over again and will be singing their praise to any and all friends the moment they get engaged. Danny's team has the secret sauce, the bass, the drums, keys, horns, and guitar. They are the key ingredient to elevate any event they're a part of.

THE BEST BAND! Literally had so many guests say this was the best band they had ever heard at a wedding. I told them before I was a huge Taylor Swift fan and they played the most epic mashup I've heard. Besides getting married that day, the taylor mash up was the highlight of the night (hahah don't tell my husband). But the variety they played was so amazing and all ages just loved this band. At one point they walked/played outside to come get everyone after intermission and it was like we were in New Orleans. Cannot say enough amazing things about Danny Ray and the Acoustic, so personalized with all the energy! I was so impressed every song I asked for or certain ways to shorten/played were all incorporated and the emails answers so promptly! I am so impressed and recommend to everyone!!

Almost immediately after getting engaged, we did a ton of research on wedding bands and knew we had to hire Danny Ray and the Acoustic Production! It was the thing I most looked forward to on my wedding day, and the absolute highlight for all of our guests. We had a wide range of ages, and saw almost every single person out on the dance floor for most of the evening. It was truly the most epic experience for us and our guests! Their ability to read the room and play the right songs was incredible, and the ceremony and cocktail music was beautiful. We both said we wanted to do a vow renewal party in a few years so we can experience them all over again, it was that good!

This band puts their heart & soul into every single song and works hand-in-hand with you behind the scenes to ensure they provide the kind of atmosphere and entertainment that you want. BEST BAND EVER and I highly recommend them!

I hired Danny Ray and the Acoustic Production for my daughter's wedding. This band was AMAZING and made our reception the most fun wedding EVER. They are high, high, high energy, very cool, very attractive, and very interactive. They can sing any genre and are extremely versatile. We couldn't believe how talented Danny and the 2 female singers were and the instrumentalists were unbelievable. We had a "New Orleans" themed wedding and Danny and his team helped us infuse some NOLA elements into the wedding (starting with a jazz trio during cocktails plus a second line of brass instrumentalists for the end of the night). We booked their 14-piece dance band so we could have 2 continuous hours of dance music. We could have danced another 2 hours because Danny and his band were incredibly fun and played something for every age group. This is the best money you can spend at your wedding. Well worth it. Every guest enjoyed it. If I had another wedding to book, the first person I will call is Danny Ray. Superb!

OH! MY! GOD! High energy doesn't begin to describe this band. They gave it their all, all night long. The guests' comments were a steady "BEST BAND EVER" Danny and his band absolutely made this wedding spectacular! I'm still hurting from dancing so much 5 days later. MOG

Danny Ray and the Acoustic Production are INCREDIBLE! Every single one of our guests commented on how they were the best wedding band they had ever heard. Their energy is unreal and they do a fantastic job of engaging with the audience - the lead singer and several musicians have no qualms with jumping right in the middle of a mosh pit. They played a great mix of songs throughout the entire night which guests of all ages enjoyed. We would highly recommend this band to anyone who wants to have a fun and memorable wedding!

Danny Ray and the Acoustic Production are absolutely incredible. We first came across the band when we went to one of their local shows and my wife and I immediately fell in love. They were fun, energetic, professional, and really know how to put on a show. We went with the 8-piece band for the reception/cocktail hour and had the 3-piece strings/piano for the ceremony and it worked out perfectly. They truly know how to read the room and seemingly play the songs that everyone wants to hear and keep the crowd going! We even made a special request to play a song for the bride's father and they learned it for us (along with a special shout out for the song during the ceremony). Danny Ray and the Acoustic Production is definitely a group that you want to have at your wedding if you plan on having a good time! To this day, guests are still talking about how good Danny Ray and their mash-ups were!
