From many email convos over the 12 months from when we booked them to when the actual wedding event was he was always quick to respond. Especially when about 2-3 days before the wedding I decided to change the song our pianist was going to play for the wedding procession. And when I asked for what I thought was maybe a little out there he always responded with a casual response in that they were happy to try to make it happen....and they did! On the day of they were amazing and a major talking point at the morning after brunch. We had a small but rowdy group and Hans and the Wanted just went with the energy we were putting out. I am so happy we stumbled across this band. The entertainment for our wedding was one of the most important things for us and WOW did they deliver. I would recommend Hans and the Wanted to anyone looking to have great, fun, professional musicians at their event. We love you!

Dancehall Days was our wedding band - and they killed it! We had quite an experience finding a…read morewedding band. We came to Bend, OR and interviewed a Band but after watching them perform and reviewing their 10 page contract (think specialty drink requirements in the dressing room) we passed. We then hired another Band that soon disappeared. Later we found out that the lead singer and the guitarist were a couple and had broken up. They later tired to contact us and we passed. On a whim we looked at website that featured bands and stumbled on Dancehall Days. We loved the sound so we hopped in our car and drove to a venue they were playing at during the solar eclipse. It was in the middle of a mall parking lot in the middle of summer but they were great. We hired them on the spot. Colby and his team were total professionals, they communicated almost instantly on any request, and had a huge range of songs to choose from. The wedding night was perfect, they handled the music for the ceremony, MC'd the event, and provided our guests with an amazing unforgettable night. This band knows how to entertain! The dance floor was packed from the first song to the last call - and everyone had an amazing time. My wife and I both highly recommend Dancehall Day's for any event you are planning.

The band cancelled on my wedding 12 days before the big day. They said they got an enormous offer for the same night and they couldn't turn it down.. I have had them booked and deposit paid, with a signed contract for the past year. They were the first vendor we booked because I knew how great they were. We were so excited to have our first dance played live by the band, they said they would learn it for us. Such a bummer to have plans change and to scramble 12 days before our wedding. They have such great reviews and seem so nice in person, it's a shame this had to happen. They did send me a number for someone who was available for our night, but they were not what we had envisioned.

Kevin is an exceptional artist and a consummate professional in every sense. From the moment we connected, he brought a detail-focused approach and he even suggested creative ways to enhance the vision I had of the music for my wedding -- and he absolutely delivered. He is an incredibly talented musician and played an enchanting mix of classical, Spanish and contemporary music selections throughout the wedding ceremony, cocktail reception and dinner, adding the perfect touch of elegance, beauty and warmth. Our guests were blown away and couldn't stop raving about his performance. If you're looking for someone who not only plays with incredible skill but also is reasonably priced, responsible, punctual, organized and accommodating -- and beyond all else, genuinely cares about you and the success of your event, look no further. I highly, highly recommended Kevin!
