Absolutely hire DMG!
There is absolutely no question that hiring DMG was among the best decisions we made for our wedding. Working with Dan, Adam, and Jon was a joy and so easy, despite all the choices involved with selecting wedding music. Leading up to the big day, they were patient and willing to work with us and our venue--where they had never played before--on adhering to sound limitations. We were blown away with their performances on the day-of across the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception, and so many of our guests were too. We have several friends who are very musically inclined (and who themselves had great bands at their weddings) and they were repeatedly saying on the dance floor how great the band sounded. We are so grateful for all of the preparation and skill from Dan and the team in executing each portion of the evening, and we wish we could've kept dancing for about 5 more hours. We are also so thankful that they stuck around for us to do our private “last dance” even after all our guests left, due to some last minute weather-related adjustments to our exit plan. That moment was so special to close out a spectacular evening. Our experience was EXACTLY what we were hoping to get out of having a live band at our wedding, and we would highly recommend the Dan McGuire Group!!There is absolutely no question that hiring DMG was among the best decisions we made for our wedding.

Thank you so much for your incredible review! We are thrilled to hear that having the DMG House Band at your wedding was perfect. Happy that we were able to work with the venue's sound limitations. We are delighted that you and your guests enjoyed our performances throughout the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. It was an honor to be part of your memorable evening, especially the special last dance. Thank you for your heartfelt recommendation! - DMG Team -

Best band ever!
We can't say enough amazing things about Dan McGuire Group!!! We picked a 4 person live band and added a photo booth for our wedding and we also chose to have an acoustic set for the ceremony and cocktail hour. Everything was PERFECT! The communication was so fast and professional from the start and Jon was so great to work with on the initial planning and photobooth. We were really stressed about picking the music for the wedding and once we met with Dan and Adam for our final planning call we felt like a giant weight was lifted off of us. They were so kind and patient with us and gave us so many great suggestions. They also learned the song we chose for our first dance because we wanted a live version and they KILLED IT! (FYI, Dan, your Hozier voice is amazing)! We cannot thank you enough for everything you did to make our wedding day perfect! You guys had everyone up and dancing and everyone had the best time (we are still getting compliments)!We can't say enough amazing things about Dan McGuire Group!!!

Book immediately - you won't regret!
DMG was incredible and we have had so many compliments about the band!! Our guests couldn’t stop talking about how good they were and how much fun everyone was having. The energy was next level and they made our wedding the fun party that we always wanted! Jon was also an incredible partner to work with and so helpful and responsive in answering all of our questions, especially on the details like sound, mics, and lighting. We so appreciated all of the care they put into the planning to make the day of so special and so fun. We went back and forth on band versus DJ for the wedding and SO happy we went with DMG.

Great Team!
Dan McGuire Group was amazing and we would recommend them to any friend for their wedding. We heard Dan and the band play at our friends’ wedding and it set a new standard for a good wedding band in our minds because they played so many songs that aren’t just “typical wedding music,” so when it came to our wedding we knew we wanted to hire them. They certainly lived up to our expectations. They had the dance floor full for our entire reception, knew a ton of songs we really like and learned a few that meant a lot to us. They also did a great DJ set while the band took a break, which allowed us to request a wider range of songs. Just as important, they were organized and easy to work with.

Great experience with DMG's Super Velvet Party Band
We were so glad to have Super Velvet Party Band play at our wedding. We booked them through the Dan McGuire Group, and found their team super responsive and flexible with our requests. Additionally, we had Dan McGuire join the band for our wedding which was a great bonus!
A few days before our wedding, one of the lead singers got sick and determined he would not be able to attend. The Dan McGuire Group worked quickly to find a great replacement on short notice who could sing the same genre of songs.
The band learned several songs that we personally requested and we got tons of compliments from our guests on the quality of the band. We thought they did a great job and we would highly recommend them!We were so glad to have Super Velvet Party Band play at our wedding.

The BEST Wedding Band!
Dan McGuire Group was INCREDIBLE at our wedding in July 2023! We could not recommend them more. To start out, DMG's planning process prior to the wedding was great. They have a very easy, intuitive planning form that you fill out with all your song choices, requests, music genres, etc. It also includes a timeline which helped keep our wedding night on track! A few weeks before our wedding we had a meeting with the team to discuss our planning form/music choices and they knocked it out of the park. We wanted more 90s music/rock/jams, and they absolutely listened to us and delivered. We had Jay Crawford as our DJ/MC and he was amazing at keeping the dance floor completely full the entire night. I loved having a live band and a DJ, it was a great mix for all types of music.
So many people complimented the band and said it was the best band for a wedding that they've ever been to. DMG learned 3 new songs for us and they were amazing. We added the cocktail trio during our cocktail hour and it was perfect music and vibe for the cocktail hour. We also had a few "unconventional" wedding song requests (lots of rock music lovers in our families) and they did a great job playing everything we wanted. I didn't sit down once!
Overall, DMG and Jay were professional, incredibly talented musicians, and great to work with. I would absolutely recommend hiring them for your wedding or next event. Thanks so much Dan, Jon, and team!Dan McGuire Group was INCREDIBLE at our wedding in July 2023! We could not recommend them more. To start out, DMG's planning process prior to the wedding was great.

Best band ever!!
The Dan McGuire Group was incredible and completely blew away our expectations. Our guests could not stop talking about how talented the band was. Their sound and range was better than many 12+ piece bands we have heard. The dance floor was packed all night, even though we had only 100 guests. Dan also performed an acoustic version of a non traditional first dance song and it was amazing. Our wedding reception was the best night of our lives thanks to this band and we could not recommend them more highly!The Dan McGuire Group was incredible and completely blew away our expectations.

Book them!
We had the Dan McGuire Group play at our December 2022 wedding and they were absolutely spectacular. They started off the night during our cocktail hour with one of the band members playing classical music on a baby grand piano, and they ended the night playing Hey Jude that had all our guests out on the dance floor singing along. Their song selection was excellent - the perfect variety that kept our guests dancing the whole night (I personally don't think I left the dance floor once). Several of our guests said DMG was the highlight of the whole night. Not to mention they were fabulous to work with leading up to the event, incredibly responsive, professional and just a pleasure to work with. We cannot recommend them enough!We had the Dan McGuire Group play at our December 2022 wedding and they were absolutely spectacular.

Great vendor team!
My husband and I opted for having a live acoustic guitarist for the ceremony and cocktail hour and a DJ for the reception. We felt that for us, this was the best of both worlds. Dan was able to play the songs that were most important to us for the ceremony (either by already knowing them or learning them) and then he chose the cocktail hour music; which was still music we enjoyed! For the reception, Jon kept the dance floor going and everyone had a blast!

The perfect band
DMG Group + District DJ (Jon): the best band in town! I see and hear A LOT of bands and DJ’s, because, well, I am at events every week (I work for a catering company). DMG really stood out to me for more than one reason. Of course, their music and sound is unmatched. Dan and his team are incredibly talented and provide all genres of music. They provide an extensive list of music that they know and are willing to learn new songs, too! The second reason I chose DMG is for their friendliness and the way they carry themselves. EVERY event I work with DMG (as a vendor) they have always been so kind and EASY to work with. I truly enjoy their company and the most important part is that they truly care about the bride and groom and truly want them to have the best day ever. People are still asking me who our band was and I am so thankful I chose them! THANK YOU DMG!!!DMG Group + District DJ (Jon): the best band in town!

Book DMG for your Wedding!
Dan, Jon, and the band are incredible professionals. The band plays a wide range of songs and have amazing energy! Our guests commented about how great the band was and how fun the wedding was overall. If you want a great event book DMG! The best part about DMG is that you get a band and a DJ which makes for a seamless reception. Jon organizes all the dances, intros, fun stuff while Dan and the band play great music. It really is the best of both worlds!
The band learned multiple songs for us including a song dedicated to my wife's father. It was a special moment for my wife and her siblings to hear and dance along to their dad's favorite song. I can't thank the band enough for making that happen.
In addition to the band playing the reception, we also booked DMG to play and mic the ceremony and play during the cocktail hour. Both add-ons were well worth it and we highly recommend adding those to your day.
Jon and Dan are extremely responsive, helpful, and flexible to make your wedding a special day. It was extremely easy to work with DMG and they were one of the most memorable parts to our day. They also bring a list of fun ideas for the reception including the Photo Challenge which we did and it was super fun as well as resulted in a ton of great pictures with our entire group of guests. Overall, they are outstanding and great value! Plan your wedding date so you can book DMG!

Amazing Band + Consummate Professionals
Dan McGuire and his band and their accompanying DJ, Adam Halliday were an absolute pleasure to work with. From step one, they were easy to get in contact with, prompt with all of our questions, and made us feel comfortable about having them be a part of our big day.
All of the professionalism aside, these guys know how to play. We had a huge list of songs to choose from, and our guests loved it when we told them we were having a live band. Definitely a difference maker and one of the parts of our wedding I'll remember forever.

Dmg is the best
I cannot recommend DMG enough! Not only do they give you the option of an amazing band but also a top notch DJ/MC. You truly get the best of both worlds. The entire team conducts themselves with the utmost professionalism and makes every attempt to bring your wedding vision to life. For those that dont have every detail of their wedding already planned on their Pinterest boards, these guys are also perfect. I let Danny take the reins on song choice and he absolutely crushed it! I am not lying when I say that the dance floor was packed from the time we finished our parent dances to the very last song of the evening. He is a true master of choosing songs based off of the crowds energy and vibe, which is such a stress reliever. We received so many compliments from our guests and the experience was nothing like any other wedding I have been to!I cannot recommend DMG enough!

He is a true master of choosing songs based off of the crowds energy and vibe, which is such a stress reliever. We received so many compliments from our guests and the experience was nothing like any other wedding I have been to!Dan McGuire Group's reply:
Thank you, Lindsey! We're pleased that we could bring your wedding vision to life and keep the dance floor packed. Your wedding was a blast at Herrington on the Bay! - Jon Smithfield -

Great experience working with DMG!
Major thanks to Jon and Dan for helping to make our wedding day extremely special. They kept us organized, involved us in some real-time schedule changes to get the party started faster, incorporated our music selections and preferences, etc. People raved about Dan playing our ceremony and cocktail hour and we received so much positive feedback about Jon's energy and how he was able to engage our family and friends to get them dancing.
Friends of ours had recommended DMG after their own great experience working with them in 2020 and I'm so glad we went with them after having initial conversations with a number of different groups. Look no further - these guys are great!Major thanks to Jon and Dan for helping to make our wedding day extremely special.

Awesome Wedding Band
We got married this past June 2022 and hired DMG to play at our wedding. We originally wanted DMG because they seemed like a genuinely fun group that knew how to get a crowd going (and good music/dancing was a priority for our wedding). They were so easy to work with, professional, and sounded amazing at our wedding. Everyone talked about how much fun they had and our dance floor was hopping throughout the night! We had both the band and DJ, making it a good combo of music selections. We also used their photobooth add on which was a hit and the photos are priceless! We strongly recommend hiring DMG if you're looking for an amazing time!We got married this past June 2022 and hired DMG to play at our wedding.

No regrets!
You should hire the Dan McGuire Group. My husband and I were struggling with the music for our wedding. We wanted a live band, but we’re big rock fans and didn’t want a ton of stereotypical “wedding” music. I’m also a musician and needed to have a talented group. We were about to give up and just get a DJ when we found DMG.
Even if rock music isn’t your thing, I highly recommend DMG. They were a highlight of the entire event; people couldn’t stop talking about how good they were and how much fun everyone was having. I’m still getting compliments when I see people months later.
It was really important to me to have a wedding where people got up and danced. I wanted people to get together and let loose and that is exactly what happened. DMG was really great at reading the room and with creating a setlist that ebbed and flowed throughout the evening. I’d also be remiss to ignore Adam, who emceed and was DJ during band breaks.
All around, we had a wonderful experience, and I don’t have a single complaint.

Truly special wedding entertainment option
It was a pleasure working with the Dan McGuire Group. From the initial phone call to the final call weeks before our April 2022 wedding, they were professional and incredibly accommodating. We had Dan McGuire playing acoustic guitar during our ceremony, cocktail hour, and our first dance. He truly helped create the ambiance we were looking for, even learning our first dance song. Adam Halliday was our emcee and DJ and did a great job keeping the evening moving and fun, playing a great variety of music that any generation enjoyed. Thanks to the team for being such a wonderful and memorable part of our day!It was a pleasure working with the Dan McGuire Group.

DMG was the highlight of our wedding
I can't say enough good things about the Dan McGuire Group. They were completely full service with all of the audio equipment, microphones, speakers, emcee-ing, accent lighting. The number one comment we receive about our wedding was how amazing the band was. I have never been to a wedding where literally everyone danced the entire wedding. I can't imagine a better or easier experience.I can't say enough good things about the Dan McGuire Group.

You won't regret hiring the Dan McGuire Group!
Hiring the Dan McGuire group was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. We did a combo of live acoustic guitar (by Dan) for our ceremony and cocktail hour, before Jon, took over as MC and DJ for the rest of the evening. Everything was perfect from initial inquiry to final song of the night. Dan and Jon listened to all of our requests and wants and executed it all with ease. Dan is extremely talented and Jon kept the party alive all night long. I would absolutely recommend hiring this crew for your wedding entertainment needs, and I would also recommend the acoustic guitar/DJ combo for those that want both live music and the flexibility that having a DJ has to offer. The value and quality are hard to beat.Hiring the Dan McGuire group was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding.

Perfect fit! He listened to exactly what we wanted. 100% recommend
We used Dan McGuire as a solo guitarist for our ceremony and cocktail hour. It was absolutely perfect. He sounded amazing, and was complimented by a lot guests.We used Dan McGuire as a solo guitarist for our ceremony and cocktail hour. It was absolutely perfect.

Excellent from booking to last dance
The Dan McGuire Group and John as their MC made for a perfect wedding day. Planning was made easy with outlines and multiple phone calls throughout the planning process. The ceremony and cocktail hour music was beautiful. The reception was perfectly MC’d by John, who made sure everyone was in their places at the right time. The band during the reception made the day. The dance floor was not empty for a single second the entire night, trust me, we still have people telling us how great the music was that night 3 weeks later. Whether it was the band or the DJ sets during band breaks, there was barely a second anyone wanted to leave to even grab a drink! What a great experience working with these guys who made our wedding unforgettable.The Dan McGuire Group and John as their MC made for a perfect wedding day.

Totally Awesome!
UPDATE:
Just had my wedding on June 4, 2021, after rescheduling THREE times (thanks covid...)! The whole time Jon, Dan, and the group were amazing! They were super responsive and flexible with all of the changes. They were also super helpful with the planning and timeline, then at the wedding, they kept everything running super smooth! Everything was PERFECT!
I had guests coming up to me during the night and even after telling me how amazing the band was! They even learned two songs for me and Mike, which they pulled off flawlessly!
They provided uplighting which added to the atmosphere.
HIRE THEM! You will NOT regret it! They really made my and Mike's wedding PERFECT and I cannot thank them enough!!
Just booked The Dan McGuire group for our wedding in May of 2020! So excited to have them play at our wedding. First discovered them at a bar in Frederick, from that first time seeing them perform my friends and I have loved their energy and talent!
They have been amazing about being in contact with me and my fiance. They have great ideas on their contract, are willing to answer all questions, quick with responding, and are totally willing to work to make our wedding request/dreams come true!
On top of the guys being a talented band, but for weddings they travel with an expert wedding DJ to keep the guest moving and interested all night long!
Can't wait for our wedding and to dance the night away to the talent of The Dan McGuire Group!UPDATE:
