"Chris Grasso Music" arranged for DC Fusion band and Anthem Trio-- all were excellent!!

Chris Grasso did a wonderful job booking all the musicians for our daughter's wedding. He arranged for the band DC Fusion to play at the wedding reception, and Chris also booked "Anthem Trio" to play for the wedding ceremony. All of them were terrific!

All our guests absolutely loved the band, DC Fusion. The band did a fantastic job and kept the dance floor hopping all evening long. They had so much energy-- and all the musicians were so talented! The soloists sang beautifully and all the instrumentalists were superb! The sax player and guitar player from the DC Fusion band performed for the cocktail hour and they sounded fabulous.

We also loved having the Anthem Trio play for the wedding ceremony. Anthem trio is a trio of violin, cello and hammered dulcimer-- and they can play a broad range of music from popular standards to Celtic music. We called Chris Grasso looking for a violin player to perform during the ceremony and he offered us a choice of musicians: violin, violin and cello, or all 3 (violin, cello and hammered dulcimer). We were delighted to have all 3 play for the ceremony---
and they played beautifully.

Chris Grasso was very professional, very organized, and so easy to work with. He was always very quick to respond, as we made changes and added more musicians to the contract. We highly recommend contacting Chris Grasso to arrange the music for your wedding or other event--- and we highly recommend DC Fusion band and Anthem trio! They were so talented and flexible and fun to have at the wedding.

Such a vibe!

I went back and forth on a wedding band for what seemed like months because the music was so important to my husband and I. We didn't know if we wanted high-energy dance band or hipster folky rock. Chris was patient and understanding during that process and always answered my questions promptly, even when I was on the fence. When we eventually did go with DC FUSION - it was such a big decision that I was still nervous about it. But Chris has such a calm demeanor, even over email, that he made me feel at ease and confirmed with each interaction that I had picked the right band for our wedding. On the day - we got to see it in action. DC FUSION is indeed a high-energy dance band - but they have tons of range. Our first dance was to a swing-like number - that they absolutely killed. Our guests raved about how tight their sound was. and a week later many are still telling me their feet hurt from dancing so much. We also used them for our cocktail hour and ceremony music. I provided sheet music for the ceremony and the keyboardist was able to accommodate us even though it was an odd request. If you're looking for a wedding band that will keep the dance floor full, adaptable, and has a wide range - look no further than DC FUSION.

Great Band Great Manager

We had a great experience with Chris Grasso Music for our wedding. Chris Grasso was very responsive and accommodating during the planning process.
All of the musicians were excellent. Eric Waters played the guitar beautifully for our ceremony. DC Fusion preformed for the reception and absolutely killed it, could not have asked for a better wedding band.
Overall our experience with Chris Grasso music was exceptional and we would highly recommend them for your wedding!

Chris performed at the MIX107.3FM Wedding In a Week yesterday and he was excellent! He played just the right mixture, volume, speed for the ceremony. I was privileged to sit next to him during the ceremony and he was on cue with the whole event. He did a great job coordinating/working with the wedding planner. Great job and great music!
