Getting married soon? Looking for a live musician & DJ for your wedding?

Voted Finalist in The Brides Choice Awards 2022!

The progression of a wedding musically is something magical and we love being of part of it all – from the acoustic looping vibes we create while guests arrive at the ceremony, to the intimate ceremony songs we learn for each couple, to the relaxed acoustic dinner vibes, after dinner dancing upbeat acoustic vibes to the DJ dance party vibes where we’ll sometimes cut the music and let everyone sing at the top of their lungs. It’s so much fun making your day a special one to remember!

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 😊

Daniel & Davina

You made our day! creating wonderful atmosphere in all the right spots throughout the day! We received so many compliments on your skills and even the venue staff said you were the best they'd heard in quite some time! It was awesome and comforting knowing we had someone who could set the mood and tone so well from the ceremony to the reception, someone who knew how to transition well and the right cues throughout. Your voice is amazing, guitar skills next level and DJ'ing got everyone dancing. It was relaxing to know you were all over it. Thankyou for making our day.

Mr and Mrs Doyle

After hearing Danny's amazing voice via social media I literally planned the date of my wedding around his availability. Danny Dyson was a must have on our wedding day & he did not disappoint! We had him from the ceremony through to the reception & was absolutely amazing.

Rachel M.

Tom and I just wanted to say a MASSIVE thank you for performing at our wedding day. We couldn’t have asked for a better singer and DJ, you are definitely to thank for creating such a magical atmosphere from the ceremony until the very end of the night! You exceeded all of our expectations and we would without a doubt recommend you to anyone looking for a wedding performer. Thank you so much again.

Aymee and Tom

Thankyou Danny You made our special day that much more special. An absolute amazing performance. Nothing but compliments from our guests with many saying that it was the best vocal performance they had ever witnessed. You made our day effortless and we are so grateful for the part you played.

Braeden & Rachael

We are absolutely blown away with how our wedding day turned out and the atmosphere you created! Your music was incredible and you made our special moments throughout the day. Everyone raved about your live music during our garden party. Through the reception we absolutely loved the vibe and how it became one big party. I am sorry I didn't get to chat and we just wanted you to know we were thrilled and so thankful we had you play at our wedding.

Lattoya and Mark ā¤ļø

We loved having Danny at our wedding. He was perfect in every way!

Best live acoustic performer I've seen in a long time

Danny was amazing... super laid back and happy to work with us to give us the best experience. Definitely one of the easiest vendors we’ve dealt with

Jodie G

You were so so so amazing! Thank you again! - The music was perfect all night and everyone told us how amazing you were during canapƩs as well!!! - Cannot thank you enough and hope you had a great night x

J+M

Luke and I feel terrible we didn’t get the chance to speak with you on the day but we both just wanted to say that you honestly made our entire day so special. From the ceremony music, to our aisle song which sent us over the edge, to the best dance party at the end, it was all perfect! All of our guests were gushing about how fantastic you were and we really just wanted to say a big thank you.

Luke & Ella

Hey Danny, we didn’t get a chance to say it on the night but just wanted to send you a huge thank you for everything you did for our wedding on Wednesday! We had so many people tell us how great your acoustic music was through the canapĆ©s and I know you definitely kept the party going until we left. So a huge thank you for that! 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!

Danny played on our wedding day and delivered an unreal musical vibe. Our guests commented highly on his performance, we all loved his acoustic and vocal talent throughout the entire days proceeding. His song selection set a great mood and feel as he transitioned seemlesly between different areas of the venue for the cocktail hour, dinner period and DJ dance phase to end the night.We would not hesitate to approach Danny again for any future live events and highly recommend him for your private function.

Jonathan & Tegan Gleeson

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) ā¤ļø It made our wedding what is was and I couldn’t be more grateful ā¤ļø

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. Couldn't recommend you enough. We had so many people say that they loved your voice and how versatile you are. We will always recommend you to anyone looking for great entertainment, music and good vibes. Much love!

Jonathan & Tegan Gleeson

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 fiancĆ©!). 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!

Emma Spinks

Claire and I wanted to Thank You šŸ™ 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!!

Sarah Coghlan

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!

Ali & Michael

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 😊
