“Danny was absolutely beyond amazing. We cannot thank him enough for being such an absolute gem at our wedding. From the get go when we first booked Danny last year until the day of the wedding, everything went so smoothly. We fell in love instantly with Danny's voice, persona and style from his videos. We were so thrilled that Danny had the day available. He has the most amazing voice where he sings from his heart. He puts a lot of love and soul when singing any song. Danny was great at communicating and was so easy going with all the changes that happened leading up to the day. Everything was perfect and beautiful during the ceremony. The reception music was not too loud yet still heard throughout the entire room. If you are looking for someone who puts their heart and soul into their music, Danny is your guy, he will listen to you and deliver exactly what you want. We would 100% recommend Danny for your big day 😊”

I think a few of our friends are looking to book you for their wedding now so that speaks volumes to how good you are!”

“I couldn’t recommend Danny enough. A live musician was the most important thing to me on my wedding day and I was left absolutely speechless. Hearing our ceremony song being played by Danny as I got out of the car made me cry (it was better than the original) ❤️ It made our wedding what is was and I couldn’t be more grateful ❤️”

“

“Hey mate, just reaching out to say a big thank you for your excellent music at our wedding in March. You made the night full of love and the music was absolutely beautiful.

We will always recommend you to anyone looking for great entertainment, music and good vibes. Much love!”

“I heard Danny play at a restaurant years ago and started following him on Instagram, I knew I wanted him to play at my wedding someday (this was before I even met my fiancé!). As soon as I got engaged and started planning my wedding, Danny was on top my my list of people I needed to contact! - He did not disappoint! I had requested a few months earlier a particular song to walk down the aisle to and Danny learnt it especially for us! We loved Danny’s live acoustic songs and he had the best DJ party mix for dancing into the night!! - Thank you Danny for helping make our wedding day perfect!”

“Claire and I wanted to Thank You 🙏 so much for playing at our wedding at Osteria last month (12/6/22). Our guests loved your music and it suited our vibe perfectly. As we said on the night, we knew the first time we heard you play that we wanted you at our wedding (way before we even got engaged!)
Once we did finally get engaged and picked a date, you were the first person we locked in!
Thank you again for being a part of our special day! Hope to see you around soon.”
Claire and Mitch

“Danny was one of the things I was most excited about for our wedding! We didn’t live locally so booked him as our musician just from his videos online and then went to hear him at the first chance we could. We absolutely love his style, his voice and the looping separates him from other acoustic musicians. He learnt new songs for us and played incredibly during the ceremony – I only wish we didn’t need to get photos and I could have listened to him during canapes! Danny was so easy to communicate with in the lead up to the wedding and he was the most amazing musician throughout the whole day. We are so happy and so grateful to have had Danny celebrate our day with us!!”

“Just wanted to say a huge thank you for doing such an amazing job at our wedding last month!
Your pre ceremony singing, singing me down the isle & cocktail hour was just incredible. Soo many of our guests couldn't stop talking about how beautiful your voice was and how much they loved listening to you play! You set the whole tone for our day and we couldn't thank you enough for that! Let alone the huge party that started after dinner when you started DJing! Absolutely loved it, so glad we had you there on our day and just wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed it! Thanks again!”

“Hey Danny,
I just wanted to say thank you so much for your amazing work at our Wedding last Thursday. We are so glad we booked you for our day! You have such an amazing voice and it truly set the scene for the day, all of your live performances were amazing, especially the performance for our first dance and we received so many comments from quests about how great you were. And then you transitioned so well into the DJ set and started the dancefloor off with a bang and kept it going the whole night. There wasn’t a single bad song played and we had the best time. Thanks so much 😊”
Jess & Dylan
