ASTORIAN TESTIMONIALS
★★★★★
"DO NOT look any further for a wedding band!!!!! Danny Ray & his band are truly amazing, incredible, wonderful, & frankly unbelievably good at what they do. Danny played acoustic for our ceremony & cocktail hour, flawlessly executing multiple EDM-type songs on an acoustic guitar as we walked down the aisle - all while hiding behind draping on a stage, leaving all of our guests thinking he was a recording until the draping dropped & they saw him on the stage at cocktail hour. The calm acoustic music instantly shifted as the band took the stage for the reception. I knew Danny & the band were there to party the moment the trumpet player saw my college girl like excitement pointing at him & spontaneously jumped in front of us to second line us into the reception. I truly didn't think it could get any better after Danny played his rendition of the untraditional break-up song we chose for our first dance, turning it into a beautiful wedding love song. But I was SO wrong. Danny learned an iconic Ukrainian song and sang it for me & my family IN Ukrainian.. also flawlessly. I will cherish that moment forever! Danny thank you for going above & beyond & then above some more to make sure our wedding was a moment we would never forget!!”

“Y’all were the best! Everyone has asked me: ‘what was your favorite part?’ And/or “did anything go wrong’ My response: ‘my favorite part was the band. And the thing I did wrong was not book them an extra hour or 2 because it went by too fast’”

“Your guests won't want to leave to watch your exit....seriously. The band truly made our wedding night the best ever! You exceeded our expectations by far! The band had so much energy and kept the party going all night long! It was so fun having the band out on the dance floor with us too. We had friends coming up to us throughout the night, texting us after, asking who you were because “it’s the best band we’ve ever seen & heard”. My husband & I totally agree! Thank you thank you for being so awesome! PS - our guests literally didn't leave the dance floor. Danny had to make up a song about leaving to go get their sparklers. Everyone started cheering for the "encore" instead! I couldn't give a higher recommendation.”

“I can't begin to say enough about Danny Ray and the [band]. This band puts their heart & soul into every single song and works hand-in-hand with you behind the scenes to ensure they provide the kind of atmosphere and entertainment that you want. BEST BAND EVER and I highly recommend them!
