"David's band traveled to our Wisconsin wedding in July. We have never been exposed to live music before at a wedding and we were a bit apprehensive about how to go about finding a band. David's band was highly recommended to us by a good friend who attended a wedding in which they performed. The DRS website was so comprehensive and provide very useful information to help us learn about the band and plan the music for the ceremony and reception. David was very prompt in answering every question we had. We met with him several times and he always put us at ease and guarenteed that our wedding would be an event to remember for all of our guests. The music at the ceremony and cocktail was beautiful and set a wonderful tone for the event. The party really began when the 10-piece orchestra began to play at the reception. From the introductions to the last dance, David was a fantastic leader and kept the momentum going all night. Our guests are still talking about the music and will continue for a long time."
