About

On WeddingWire since 2014

Dexter Lake Club Band is a New York City-based “anti-wedding band”, known for their non-cheesy approach and highly curated, and constantly-evolving song list. From early soul to classic rock and current hits, they do it all without resorting to the cookie cutter approach that makes most people shudder when they hear the term "wedding band". The group of friends started the band at Oberlin College, and it grew organically from there after they landed a few high-profile gigs in New York City. Dexter Lake Club Band has played for numerous well-known clients, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Washington D.C. Ballet, and actress Olivia Wilde. They're perfect for anyone wanting memorable music at their special occasion.

DLCB will be the difference maker at your wedding, separating your event from a typical cookie cutter wedding band.

My wife and I have seen DLCB at a few different friends weddings at this point and so we know just how great they are. The impressive thing to me was how different each wedding felt 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.

DLCB was hands down the best decision we made!

From start to finish, Jamie & Tim lead with professionalism and responsiveness. Having never seen them live and going off a friend's recommendation, they made us feel confident in our decision from our first conversation and we knew we were in good hands. DLCB exceeded any and all expectations and had our crew on the dance floor all night. They brought the BEST energy and read the room perfectly, with every song better than the next. Our friends and family haven't stopped raving about them! Thanks DLCB for making our wedding the best night of our lives!!

It is always a thrill to provide sound for these great musicians when they are in my area. I work with lots of great bands but if I ever needed entertainment for a special event, this would be the band I would hire. Talented, friendly and always going the extra mile for their client. The Dexter Lake Club Band will provide all the professionalism and energy to make your event awesome.
