"Cannot recommend DBB enough! My partner and I hired them to play our wedding (and to do a surprise entrance at that) and, honestly, the highlight of the day! All our guests, young to old, pop to rock, dancer to non-dancer, absolutely loved them and they got everyone up. We've been asked about them constantly ever since the big day. Incredibly professional, polished team with great communication and an immense back catalogue! Guaranteed to liven up ANY event."
