“We had the right decision for choosing DLE! We used DLE Event Group for our wedding. They were fabulous! We had 336 people at our wedding and the floor was packed all night! We have had nothing but compliments about them. My dad wanted a band for my wedding, and even he had good things to say about them. They were dressed very appropriately and knew when to switch up the music! We’ll definitely use them again..” -Pat Lewis
