Dexter Lake Club Band

cts. Had the place ROCKING. Made a very special evening that much more special. TY DLCB! Hope to spend another Rocking night with you soon!

smashed it! It felt like we were at a rock and roll concert and we all danced the night away. They will work with you to ensure all the songs you want to hear are played and will happily learn up to 5 songs, which they knocked out of the park. Thank you DLCB for making our day so special!!

the best music and non-stop dancing, Dexter Lake Club is it. My now-husband and I were lucky enough to see Dexter Lake Club at a friend’s wedding in 2022. This was before we were even engaged, but we both looked at each other and said this will be our wedding band. Before even booking our venue, we reached out to Dexter Lake Club to confirm that they were available the same day options as our venue. There was no way we were having our wedding without them. From the very beginning, Tim and Jamie were responsive, flexible, and open to any and all crazy ideas we had for our wedding. They took the time to understand our musical preferences and even learned a few special songs for us. On the big day, they exceeded all expectations. The band's energy was infectious, and our dance floor was packed from start to finish - people didn’t even want to leave. Usually after a wedding, you tell the couple that their band was great and forget about it, but even as I write this, a little over a month later, we are STILL getting friends and family telling us how much they loved DLC and the energy they brought to our wedding - many saying ours was the most fun wedding they have EVER been to. Not only are they incredibly talented musicians, but they also know how to read the crowd and keep the party going. They interacted with the guests, creating an engaging and memorable experience for everyone in attendance. Dexter Lake Club band played a significant role in making our wedding day absolutely perfect. Their music added an extra layer of magic to the celebration, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. If you're looking for a wedding band that will rock with you all night long, Dexter Lake Club is where it’s at. I want to have our wedding again just to rock with them one more time. They are worth every penny and more. Thank you for making our wedding unforgettable!

t as they will cater to your tastes and feedback, playing a different set with an energy and flow that is unique to your specific party. They are truly the conductors of your event controlling the energy so that by the end of the night, the dance floor will be completely full and dancing as if it were a rock concert. At the end of the night, all we kept hearing was how incredible the band was and coming from a family of critical music lovers, is such a joy to hear. Music can dictate the feeling of your wedding night and if you are worried about your wedding feeling cliché and too similar to the many other wedding bands out there, then hire these guys and you will not regret it.

Jamie and knew this was the group for us! The band accommodated every single request, the pianist came a day early to play during our rehearsal dinner, a couple stayed late to jam on guitars during our after-party, and they learned multiple songs for us and knocked each one out of the park. Our only regret was not asking the venue to find a bigger dance floor because during the reception almost everyone was on their feet for hours! If you’re looking for a band we highly recommend!!

nd was truly perfect, and if there is an adjective more superlative than perfect, I would use it for the DLC Band! We're a pretty musical family, and were extremely pleased we found them; their training, bios, experience and videos were a real cut above others. But when we heard them warming up before the wedding ceremony... to a person, we all found each other to exclaim some version of - "DID YOU HEAR THE BAND?!?" They are true artists and professional in every way, and their joy amplified our joy. Their renditions of legendary pieces were extraordinary and absolutely everyone 19-90 was dancing into the night. Countless wedding guests continue to remark on the band - we could not have been happier or more grateful! We will recommend Jamie and the Dexter Lake Club Band to friends, family and anyone for whom knock your socks off music is the dream!! Molly P

ad and we couldn't be happier! Thank you Jamie and band members, you were WONDERFUL!

ng list they offer, they nailed all of our "special request" covers. Their talent and sound are unmatched. They were great to work with and we can't recommend them enough! A must-book!!

t the most epic party of our lives. Our only regret of the night is that we couldn't have had them play for longer. All of our guests raved that DLCB was the best band they have heard at any wedding / corporate event / or even live music bar. We couldn't agree more. This is a real rock band, not a corny wedding band, and they kept the dance floor packed all night, playing high energy song after high energy song. Beyond that, DLCB helped orchestrate the perfect flow throughout the entire wedding day - from the ceremony, to cocktail hour, to the reception and through dinner and speeches. They even surprised me with an announcement of my dress change, which made me feel like an absolute star. Additionally, DLCB and Jamie were so professional and easy to work with throughout the planning process and made us feel confident and excited every step of the way. We hope to see DLCB at some of our friends' weddings in the future and are dreaming about the next event we can throw with DLCB.

credibly responsive, kind and great to communicate with. Their song list couldn’t be better and the range of songs that they can perform is truly exceptional. They kept the party going and the dance floor entirely packed for their whole set. I’d recommend booking them asap as they are unsurprisingly in high, high demand. Thank you DLC for making our wedding all we could have hoped for and more.

aring her rave and checking out their vibe and set list, we knew they would be the right fit. We were super excited to have a band and knew we wanted to veer more toward pop/modern covers and a fun dance party than the traditional wedding playlist, and they blew away any expectations I had. From the beginning, Jamie was articulate, thoughtful, communicative, and prompt. We scheduled an initial call to get to know each other and discuss details, and from there communicated via email any time I had questions and as we were putting together a playlist. Jamie had great recommendations for how to structure the run of show of the reception (multiple guests commented on how smooth it was) and were totally down with all our requests. During the ceremony, we had an acoustic setup, and then jazz during the cocktail hour. During the reception, Tim did a perfect job as a low-key, non-cheesy MC. After the planned dances, they launched into a rousing Jewish Hava Nagila that took things to the next level (as in, my 5'2" Catholic mother demanded that she also get lifted on a chair because it was that much fun). The reception dance party was probably the most fun I've ever had. They read the crowd perfectly and created the most insane dance party that culminated in multiple men tearing their shirts off as the entire crowd screamed the lyrics to Mr. Brightside (and then I Believe In a Thing Called Love). Our friends could not get over the band and talked about it for days. I want to get divorced just so I can have another wedding and be able to have them play again. They were amazing and cannot recommend them enough.

wasn't packed. They know exactly how to read the crowd and play what will be right in that moment. I am so happy we hired them and am really hoping someone I know will hire them too so I can go to another wedding with DLC!! They are extremely responsive on email and were also so flexible with us when we had to postpone our wedding. They are professional and super easy to work with! Highly highly recommend hiring Dexter Lake!!!

d all my expectations. A fantastic set that had everyone dancing, and the loveliest people to deal with in advance of the event. We tested their limits with requests (including quite possibly the only live rendition ever of Fergie's "London Bridge" ever to take place) and they blew everyone away. Thank you to Dexter Lake Club Band, will put you on hold for our kids bar mitzvot in 17 years.

s, we knew we wanted to find the perfect band that embodied our relationship and the party that we wanted to throw with our friends and family to celebrate our love. Dexter Lake Club Band was hands down the greatest thing about our wedding. These guys f****** rock. Seriously. From the moment we met Jamie at a showcase in the city and heard them, we knew this was the band we wanted to play at our wedding to have our guests dance and party their asses off. Jamie and the group could not have been more professional, fun, enthusiastic, and amazing to work with. We had a small snafu with our original wedding date and had to move our wedding back three months and our biggest stressor was not the food, photographer, flowers, or anything, but ensuring the date lined up with DLCB’s availability. He knew we had to have them so our guests would hear the greatest wedding band there ever was. Most importantly, the group knew how to cater their song choices to the audience. There were moments at my own wedding I truly felt like we were at a concert. I was looking around a bunch and saw people yelling lyrics at the top of their lungs. DLCB learned 5 songs for us which brought the house down. And I’m confident that for the rest of our lives we’ll never forget the feeling of screaming the lyrics to All These Things That I’ve Done with hundreds of our closest friends as we slowly ascended from the ground during the bridge of the song. What. A. Night. My wife and I can’t thank each and every one of the members of DLCB for the energy and passion they brought to our most special night of our lives. My father-in-law even thanked each of them by first name during his Father-Of-The-Bride speech because of how badass this group is. Seriously. Five months later we still have people telling us that was the greatest band they’ve ever heard at a wedding and won’t forget that party. DLCB, we salute you.

othly and how to keep people on the dance floor the whole night. They did not disappoint, our guests cannot stop talking about how great they were. They really care about the quality of work that they put out and we could not be happier with our choice. They were a major part of a night we will never forget.

l the day of the wedding, The Dexter Lake Club Band was professional, responsive, and extremely accommodating. They worked with us and our venue to make sure that the music at our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception were perfect. The songs that they learned for our first dances were flawless. The Dexter Lake Club band played their hearts out from the first note and they kept the dance floor full the entire night. All I wanted was a dance party and they most definitely delivered. They are all extremely talented musicians and they sounded AMAZING!!! They did an awesome job reading the crowd and playing what people wanted to hear. We are so glad that we chose the Dexter Lake Club band to play at our wedding. We have been getting rave reviews about the music from our guests. If you are looking for a band that will keep your guests entertained all night long, look no further. Thank you to the Dexter Lake Club band for helping to make our wedding day so memorable.

xpertise in curating the set list, as well as their creativity in playing without drums (our venue had a rule about it past a certain time in the evening). We had the best time on the dance floor and would highly recommend them!

ty going all night long. All of our guests were on the dance floor for three hours straight at our reception thanks to the genius song selection and up-beat music Jamie, Tim and the rest of DLCB featured. They also learned all of our first dance songs for our wedding, which made the evening that much more special! During the planning process, they were responsive, knowledgeable, and extremely helpful in crafting the perfect reception sequencing to make our wedding as much fun as possible. They exceeded all expectations we had for our night - and I would recommend them to anyone looking for a 10/10 wedding band!

ring the planning process -- they put our minds at ease. We spoke to many other bands that were not as transparent about cost or were rigid in what they could do. Whereas other bands were more like performers (for lack of a better word), Dexter Lake is a group of really impressive musicians whose natural love and enthusiasm for what they're playing is infectious. Everyone at our wedding was on their feet and jumping and dancing around the whole night, beginning to end! During our search, they stood out with their clear love for 60s/70s/80s rock (though they can play the new stuff too!), which was such a different and fun sound, and the guests (young and old) absolutely loved it. They rolled with the many surprises that were thrown their way -- last-minute sound hookups for a slideshow, a Star Wars flash mob, and even having me on stage to sing at the end! They just worked with it and made it all run smoothly. They're also just personally really nice people, giving us words of encouragement before the wedding, and chatting with the guests about whoknowswhat during cocktail hour. I've already had about 30 people reach out to me after the wedding to either ask how to get in touch with them for their own wedding or event, or just to emphasize how amazing they were. I can't recommend them enough!

e dance floor from the first song, and they could not stop raving about how good the band was. We asked them to play 3 untraditional songs for our ceremony, and they sounded *exactly* like the version on Spotify we'd shared. We could not have been happier with the ceremony and reception music. On top of that, Jamie and Tim are lovely to work with and were 100% responsive during the planning process. Highly recommend this band!

song changes. The minute we saw Dexter Lake Club Bands showcase, that all changed. We immediately fell in love with their sound and their personalities, and we hired them the next day. 8 months later after our wedding, we could not have been happier with our decision. These guys absolutely CRUSHED it. They had the entire wedding dancing the entire night. They mixed in all the right songs without ever getting cheesy (like not playing SHOUT or Celebrate etc) but playing all songs everyone wanted to dance to all night. Also we had a fire in the hotel the night before, and at 430am i emailed them asking them to change the intro song to "we didn't start the fire" which they did seamlessly even though it was not on their list. Our wedding was perfect and a huge part of it was these guys. I keep watching the video just because i like hearing them play. I wish i had another event I was throwing so I could hire them again. MAKE THESE GUYS YOUR WEDDING BAND AND YOU WONT REGRET IT.

their song list. They were also willing to learn five new songs, which was more than most other bands offered. To say they nailed these songs would be an understatement. Maybe it's the nostalgia, but my husband and I prefer their performance of Champagne Supernova (our first dance, and one of the songs they learned) to Oasis's. And we were hesitant to request All My Friends by LCD Soundsystem because we thought it would be difficult to execute, but they played it for the last song of the reception, and brought. the. house. down. The most euphoric moments from our wedding (besides the ceremony itself) were on the dance floor, and we owe that in huge part to the Dexter Lake Club Band. I also need to comment on their professionalism. From first correspondence, Jamie was responsive and accommodating -- we heard back within an hour of reaching out, and they were willing to work with us to stay within our budget -- and this made the whole process seamless (and fun). I could not recommend them enough. Do yourself and your party a favor and book these guys.

performed beautifully. They had everyone dancing until the very end. Would highly recommend!

. Everyone kept coming up to us throughout the night saying how amazing the band was and we still hear from guests (of all ages) saying our band was hands down the best band they've heard at a wedding. My husband and I knew they were going to be great, but they were beyond INCREDIBLE.

ktail hour, and reception - each aspect felt unique and the breaks were very brief. Their down to earth personalities made it super easy to work with, providing exceptional service at a great value. Would highly recommend!!

website. To say that they exceeded our expectations and completely blew us away with their dynamism, energy, talent, professionalism, personality, emotional intelligence (i.e. ability to read the room), voices, sound quality, (etc.) is understatement of massive proportion. It has been a month since our wedding, and I am still receiving e-mails from friends commenting on how out-of-control-wonderful Dexter Lake was. We had our fair share of trained musicians, and music snobs at our wedding, and every single one of them was beyond impressed. My dad, who isn't one to wax hyperbolic, and played in a Rock 'n Roll band for many years, was heard over and over again telling guests: if you were looking for a band, your search is over...there could not be a better band. I would be remiss if I didn't share a few major highlights. Cocktail hour was a dream. This was a black-tie wedding and we were in a smallish room. The sound quality during cocktail hour was perfect, it matched the mood of the event, and kept spirits high. I kid you not, I have had friends specially compliment the song list during cocktail hour. This had NOTHING to do with me, and everything to do with how wonderful Dexter Lake is. They read the room, they are brilliant musicians, and they make people happy and feel festive. This next piece really blew my mind. I had envisioned this big "ta da" moment when we would open the doors to the main dining room, which were shut during cocktail hour. I thought I had thought through everything, but looking back, I never communicated to Dexter Lake that I was looking for this "ta da" moment...and yet, of course, they went above and beyond! They MADE that moment. They played one of my favorite songs of all time (a Fleetwood Mac ditty) with such emotion, and such energy...it was like Stevie Nicks showed up. We all made our way to our seats bopping to this incredible music. It was loud (in an amazing way) and all consuming. I will never forget that moment, which I never would have been able to imagine or come up with on my own. The list goes on, but on, but it goes without saying that our guests danced all night, and had the most amazing time. It wasn't just young (well...we're in our early 30s...) people on the dance floor, it was truly everyone. The wedding ended at midnight, and I don't know where these amazing people found the energy, but it's as if they only got better and more incredible as the night went on. Truly pitch perfect...and magical. What else can I say...there is truly no reason to look elsewhere...like my dad said!

ve played at the weddings of Olivia Wilde and Amanda Peat (so I guess that means they played for the Game of thrones show runner as well?). Jamie was very responsive to e-mail and they did a great job learning my special requests. The played acoustic versions of songs I requested during the ceremony. They also played a Joy Division cover with my brother's band which was very special for my family to experience. DLCB were great at reading the crowd and all night I got tons of compliments on the band. If you hate wedding DJs that play garbage like the YMCA or the cha cha slide are considering a live band, this is the band you want to book. I hope someone I know books them so I can go to another wedding where I'm not the bride and have more time to dance!

best decision we could have ever made. They were perfection. My husband and I really wanted to throw a great party for our friends and family and create more of a concert-type feel than the typical wedding band creates. We also wanted music that would span the age groups and bring everyone onto the dance floor. Dexter Lake did exactly that! Their playlist was nothing short of amazing and they had us and our guests out of breath on the dance floor. They spent the time to learn several songs that were a big hit with our crowd and also focused on the songs from their playlist that would keep our guests going! Jamie was a pleasure to deal with on all the logistics and was always professional and genuine. The band was extremely flexible with any changes leading up to the big day and on the day of, the band did an amazing job "directing" the reception, keeping things on schedule and maintaining the flow of the evening. We could not have asked for a better band to help us celebrate our wedding. Everyone from our guests to other wedding vendors keep telling us that Dexter was the best wedding band they had ever heard! We couldn't agree more. Many of our engaged friends have asked for the band's information and we are crossing our fingers that we get to hear this band again soon! We cannot thank Dexter Lake enough for the epic dance party and the amazing memories!!!!

ey aren't cheap, but it is definitely money well spent. If you love rock and roll and hate cheesy wedding music, DLCB is for you! They also did our ceremony music (2 acoustic guitars) and cocktail hour (keyboard). They are super easy to work with and are just all around good guys. You won't be sorry!

sy bantering between songs, they just play and make the good times roll. So much fun, such good songs - they will learn 3 or 4 songs just for you if what you want them to play is not in their repertoire already. They're the best. Reviewed in last Fall's NY Times as one of the top wedding bands. They are pricey, but they are worth every penny!
