My husband and I couldn't have asked for a more entertaining and fun band to play for our wedding! The Robert Mabe Band played our ceremony music, cocktail hour music, and reception and every bit of it was just perfect. Robert was extremely professional and accommodating throughout the entire planning process and made us feel totally at ease on our wedding day. They learned our first dance song and even let my husband sing with them at one point. By the end of the night, they had everyone on the dance floor. Loved every minute!My husband and I couldn't have asked for a more entertaining and fun band to play for our wedding!

The Robert Mabe Band, and Robert Mabe, fulfilled my music and dance and atmosphere dreams for our Vermont Country wedding on August 5th this year. From our first conversation last winter, through completion, Robert gave me confidence in his experience, and his kindness. I knew he really cared about our experience. I listened to their sounds on the website...and knew the band had a shared expertise, deep talent, and the sound just made me happy. Our guests danced from the first song through the last...they were blown away. The band members looked great, and every time I gazed at them playing they were smiling. The Robert Mabe Band members were obviously super-talented individuals who come together and play Bluegrass like a gorgeous tapestry...perfect. Great voices, great instrumentation, perfect balance. Absolutely killer fun, unforgettable. Also very responsive by email, very professional during the event, and very friendly to our guests.The Robert Mabe Band, and Robert Mabe, fulfilled my music and dance and atmosphere dreams for our Vermont Country wedding on August 5th this year.

We couldn't have been happier with Drymill Road!! The band was referred to us by our wedding venue, House Mountain Inn, and after listening to a few of their tunes on Google Play I was in love and praying they were still available for our date. Robert was super responsive via email, easy to work with, and the only one of our vendors to contact me first the week of the wedding to check in before the big day. What we really liked about Robert was that he was both professional but also easy-going which we didn't necessarily get with other band prospects and was important for the overall vibe we wanted. We already had a DJ booked for the reception, so we had the band come to play before and during the ceremony and then for the cocktail hour. For the location and duration I felt the pricing was very fair, but honestly we had such a good experience with them I feel like it was a steal. The range of music the band played was impressive and appropriate for all the wedding feels--light-hearted, romantic, upbeat, chill. I had a few requests from their original music and a Beetles song, and then Robert suggested some superb classic bluegrass tunes that we went with for the ceremony. They played so beautifully--my husband and I both burst into tears when they played the song I walked down the aisle to and that started a chain reaction among our guests (it was a real tear jerker:) We asked them to play acoustically, which worked out great in going with the natural vibe of an outdoor ceremony, and it seemed to be easy enough for them to transfer locations to the happy hour. The guests raved about the band and I only wish we had planned to have them play longer. They were definitely a highlight of the wedding. My husband and I have gone to hear the band when they've played locally and will definitely be going to see them again. Can't sing their praises enough!We couldn't have been happier with Drymill Road!!

Drywall Road is amazing and made our wedding day extraordinarily special. My husband (finance at the time) were searching for a fun and unique band for our wedding at a farm brewery. We heard Drymill's music on their website and started to dance in our living room. The music is amazing, fun and inspiring. The next step was to reach out to them to see if they were available, cost, etc. Robert was my favorite vendor to work with! He was extremely responsive, friendly and gave us great recommendations for ceremony music. We spoke several times before the big day to make sure everything would be carried out without a hitch. On the day of, they set up, played beautiful music for the ceremony, specifically "Whiskey before breakfast" for the recessional, then lovely instrumental music for the cocktail hour and then our reception. Our favorite part was that they learned "Die a Happy Man" for our first dance and it was beyond amazing! Additionally, they played a super fun rendition of the 'Hora' dance, which got all our guests out of their seats and dancing. I would highly recommend Drymill Road!

Robert and his crew from Drymill Road were such a pleasure to work with for our Washington, DC wedding. They were very easy going, full of helpful suggestions, and -- most importantly -- the performances (during our ceremony and cocktail hour) were just perfect. It really was everything we wanted and more. We would hire them again in a second and have already recommended them to friends who are getting married next summer.Robert and his crew from Drymill Road were such a pleasure to work with for our Washington, DC wedding.

We got married during Hurricane Joaquin and needless to say, it was one of the most stressful weeks of my life. However, working with Robert helped put my mind at ease. As a nervous bride, I called him numerous times the week of the wedding and he always found a way to make me feel confident that my wedding day would be perfect. And boy was it! Drymill Road was such an amazing band to play pre ceremony, during, and post ceremony. i had numerous guests comment on how they helped to create a magical ambiance with their bluegrass music and the rain. I couldn't have asked for a better group of guys as my ceremony musicians. I HIGHLY recommend Drymill Road if you are looking for something that will make your wedding ceremony stand out!

We can't say enough how happy we were with Drymill Road's performance at our wedding. Our guests loved them. They played a few special songs we requested for first dances and otherwise did a great job feeling the crowd and getting folks out on the dance floor. They even let me (the bride) get up and play a song with them!! We had so much fun!
Aside from just being a great time and awesome musicians, they also were so easy to work with leading up to the wedding. Super responsive, were there to set up on time (and deal with last minute change of plans due to rain) and took care of all the announcements/timeline we requested. Would highly recommend!!!We can't say enough how happy we were with Drymill Road's performance at our wedding. Our guests loved them.

Robert handled all the pre-event logistics and was very accommodating, friendly, and flexible throughout. Both he and the rest of the band were friendly during the event and the music was fantastic. They combine original and lesser known bluegrass with some more commonly heard tunes with that bluegrass flavor excellently and the guests (both the bluegrass fans and the non-fans) expressed positive feedback to me throughout the night and afterwards. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for that type of sound.Robert handled all the pre-event logistics and was very accommodating, friendly, and flexible throughout.

Drymill Road and Robert Mabe made our wedding and reception an extraordinary event for us and our guests. I had concerns about using a bluegrass ensemble for a more formal occasion, but their professionalism and sensitivity to the atmosphere allowed them to deliver memorable and enjoyable music for both our ceremony and reception. We have received fantastic comments from our guests and they were able to achieve this without troubling us in any way. I would recommend them for any event.Drymill Road and Robert Mabe made our wedding and reception an extraordinary event for us and our guests.

To start, I am a huge fan of different types of music and go to several music festivals each year. Other than the bride :) and the food, the music was the most important part of our wedding. I found Drymill Rd. on Gigmasters. They were immediately responsive to our questions and took the time to understand the type of music we liked and what we wanted for our wedding. Essentially, we wanted upbeat bluegrass with some covers which would keep the crowd lively and dancing. They also played non-traditional music for the ceremony, which was exactly what we were looking for.
As for the ceremony and the reception, Drymill Road knocked it out of the park. They made the wedding lively, fun and had everyone on the dance floor. Everyone raved about the band throughout the night, and when they were about done, everyone was chanting "2 more songs, 2 more songs...". My now wife already told them she wants to book them again in the future.
I will promise you that you will not be disappointed in hiring Drymill Road for any event. We look forward to working with them in the future.

We hired Drymill Road for our wedding and could not have been more happy. We spent a while looking at bands in the area and after seeing Drymill Road perform live, we know they would be perfect for us. We hired them to play the ceremony, reception (including doing the announcements) and even an after party and they were fantastic throughout the whole day.
Robert was great to work with before the wedding. We discussed the wedding details, announcements and song selections over emails and phone calls. They were able to perform all of our requests and provided several great suggestions that we ended up using including the bride’s entrance. We were a little nervous about our first dance as we wanted Bob Marley’s "Stir it Up", but had never heard it in a slow dance tempo. Drymill Road played it beautifully and everyone in the reception was blown away.
They were truly the best band we could have had at our wedding. Everyone commented after, from the oldest guests to our younger friends, that they were great. We really enjoyed them and are already thinking of future events where we might be able to have them perform.

Dry Mill Road exceeded all expectations at our wedding. These guys are serious musicians who know how to manage the atmosphere at a party. They had the dance floor full all evening. We heard nothing but praise for them all throughout the night and ever since. We had requested that one of our wedding party sing a song with them, and they had no qualms with it. Dry Mill also learned our wedding song and played it beautifully. They are accommodating, professional, and most importantly, a phenomenal band.Dry Mill Road exceeded all expectations at our wedding.

The first thing I did in planning our wedding party was to book Drymill Road! And that was one of the best and easiest decisions I made. Not only were they incredibly easy to work with in the planning phases, their music made the party memorable and so, so special. I received many positive comments about their music and one guest even asked me "How did you get Drymill Road" to play? I hear they're really busy". But the truth is that getting this fabulous band only took an e-mail!

Six stars! Drymill Road performed at our wedding in August (ceremony, cocktail hour and reception), and were a big hit with everyone. Coordination leading up to the event was also very easy, Robert was communicative and accommodating.

We were lucky enough to have Drymill Road play our wedding and cocktail hour, and we could not have been more pleased. Robert was a pleasure to work with and so helpful in coming up with suggestions for our ceremony music. During the cocktail hour, they got our party started with exactly the right tone and tempo, and we got so many compliments on hiring them. On top of all of this, they were also very reasonably priced compared to other bands we spoke with. We were so happy to have found them and hope to have a chance to work with them again sometime in the future.We were lucky enough to have Drymill Road play our wedding and cocktail hour, and we could not have been more pleased.

My now-husband and I saw Drymill Road play their bluegrass/newgrass music at various local venues and events during the last couple years. Once I found out they also do weddings, there was never any doubt that we would have them play our wedding. They provided our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception music. They were professional, honest (pointing out that I accidently overpaid them and returning the overage!), provided great entertainment, and are all-around great guys. I think their style of music could fit with any venue (ours was in a modern art museum). I received several compliments from guests. My maid of honor said she got chills from their version of "Hallelujah" (in the style of Jeff Buckley) during the processional; for me, it was the perfect musical backdrop to a very emotional moment. Their music is one of my favorite memories from our wedding.My now-husband and I saw Drymill Road play their bluegrass/newgrass music at various local venues and events during the last couple years.

Drymill Road provided the music for my wedding reception. They were fantastic! Robert from Drymill was my main point of contact and he was incredibly responsive, and followed up with me throughout the planning process, which really helped me out! He even accommodated a complete time change for the reception and even came early to set up a PA system through which we played some quiet background music during dinner before the band went on.
Drymill Road learned a special song for us for our first dance that was outside of their song list, and they did a fabulous job. They played the night away, and guests danced and loved the tunes. They also MC'd the entire event, announcing the bridal party, first dance, cake cutting, boquet toss, etc and were so accommodating. I think they were a great wedding band, and I would high recommend them for anyone looking for some awesome bluegrass/newgrass band with excellent customer service! Thanks guys!
Drymill Road provided the music for my wedding reception. They were fantastic! Robert from Drymill was my main point of contact and he was incredibly responsive, and followed up with me throughout the planning process, which really helped me out!

Drymill Road played for our wedding ceremony and reception. Outstanding musicianship! Fantastic diverse song repertoire inlcuding well crafted exciting original songs. Drymill Road exudes positive energy and play their instruments effortlessly. Our guests had so much fun dancing and loved every moment with the band. The band seemed to have had just as much fun as our guests. They have high quality sound equipment. They were very accomodating, respectful, and friendly. I would hire them for any event and I would buy tickets to one of their shows in a second. Check out their new album and book them while they still have the time to play your event.

Our reception musician cancelled 4 days before the wedding, and Drymill Road came through for us at the last minute! They agreed to play for our reception at Historic Rosemont Manor in Berryville, VA; they charged a very reasonable price and did a wonderful job. Everyone loved the music. We were SO thankful to have them; they were awesome!Our reception musician cancelled 4 days before the wedding, and Drymill Road came through for us at the last minute!

THIS BAND IS AMAZING. Seriously.
I am a music snob. So when it came time to picking a band for our wedding, I didn't just check out a few bands. I previewed scores of bluegrass bands online. After narrowing down to about six or seven amazing bands (really, these bands were all incredible--any of them would have been great), Drymill Road just rose to the top of the pack.
Part of it was their sound--rich and warm, and just really fantastic--but part of it was their great communication and flexibility. I came to Robert Mabe, the bandleader, with a very specific vision, and more than a few requests--and the band more than rose to the occasion.
The band was wonderful, professional, had a strong presence when they were getting everyone on the dance floor (imagine a rousing bluegrass Hava Nagila), and a great mellow background sound when they played the cocktail hour. They played "I Will" by the Beatles when we came into the cocktail hour, and they learned a special request "Wildflower" by Tom Petty for our first dance.
We loved this band so much that we plan to check their tour schedule and to try to catch them live when they play festivals or clubs. The friends at the wedding who are musicians themselves have made a point of telling us (even after the wedding) how great the band was.
If you want a bluegrass band--or perhaps a band that will play great music that's not all bluegrass (Beatles, Dead, Dylan) but with a gorgeous bluegrass sound--don't think twice about booking them.

Drymill Road performed at our wedding in the ceremony, during cocktail hour and part of the reception. They created a fantastic atmosphere for our guests and kept the energy going in the reception. The band is easy to communicate with and they are very flexible with song requests etc. They knew almost everything we wanted performed and were willing to go out of their way to learn what they didn't already know. What a terrific experience having Drymill Road in our wedding!Drymill Road performed at our wedding in the ceremony, during cocktail hour and part of the reception.
