Reviews of Dare To Love Music

We had the pleasure of having a saxophonist play at our party, and he was absolutely amazing. His music set the perfect vibe and elevated the entire atmosphere. He was professional, talented, and engaging with our guests. Everyone kept complimenting the music! Highly recommend for any special event.

Derrick was a gem to work with! His DJ set along with his sax playing was an incredible combo for our event. He was the utmost professional before, during and after. Would totally work with “Dare To Love Music” again. Highly recommend!! A++

Dare To Love are a powerhouse couple! I have seen Dare To Love perform at different weddings and private events around Los Angeles. Lovisa has a beautiful voice and is always engaging with the guests. Derrick is such a fun dude lighting up the room, whether he's playing 2 saxophones at once or doing the worm in the middle of the dance floor! Both are extremely talented musicians and I feel like their love for each other is something special that radiates into all their performances and is hard to find. Derrick and Lovisa are amazing humans beings and it was a pleasure meeting them!

Amazing job by Derrick, he played at my wedding and I was blown away by his professionalism and his understanding and willing to work around a hectic schedule. Not only did he play the saxophone amazingly he brought multiply music supplies for my other musicians I had playing for the ceremony. If I could give higher than 5 stars I would. I definitely will reach out for future music gigs ! Thanks again Derrick !

I am so happy that my husband and I decided to use Dare to Love Music w Derrick and his wife. Its been about a week since we got married and people are still talking about the dj. The saxophone was the BEST addition and their energy was AMAZING.
It was easy to work with them and they were on top of my music preferences for the wedding. Im particular and it was a Jewish wedding. I didnt want certain songs and very much needed others.
The hora with a sax is just the icing on the cake.
Thank you!!!!

Dare to Love Music is a captivating live jazz duo whose deep bond shines in their performances. Their connection is evident in every note, as they perform timeless jazz. The chemistry between them brings warmth, charm, and emotional depth to each song, making the audience feel like part of an intimate conversation. With soulful vocals, skillful instrumentation (piano and saxophone), and playful interaction, Dare to Love Music is a beautiful celebration of love, music, and shared artistry. They were amazing for our afternoon jazz event and they were very interactive with the audience. Thank you Dare to Love Music!

Simply the best! Derrick and Lovisa (Dare to Love Music) performed at my daughter’s graduation party (June 2025 - CA), and were loved by all! So engaging, fun, and extremely talented!
I found them via gig salad — they worked with me every step of the way to ensure our event was perfect! Very professional and trustworthy.

These guys are absolutely amazing. They are a power-house couple with a staggering amount of musical talent, and are perfect for those looking for live music at their wedding. I can't recommend them enough!

Dare To Love are professionals in every way.

Aside from Derrick being a spectacular sax player with incredibly advanced musicianship, improv skills and energy, he's also a multi-instrumentalist and understands how to bring just the right energy - whether it's laying back and providing something fun, nostalgic, romantic and easy or putting on a show-stopping performance where everyones involved and having the time of their lives.

Lovisa is a very nuanced singer and knows how to connect emotion to her singing. She has a wonderful R&B and jazz flare to her singing that really pulls you in. She's telling you the story on every song and this make her performances so much more engrossing than just a "good singer".

Together they are dynamite. The energy and the vibes they can wield together will make your party.

As a fellow performing musician, I can say with confidence that Dare to Love Music is the real deal. They are top-notch professional musicians with an amazing repertoire and versatility for all types of events. Book them while you can and you will not be disappointed!

Derrick and Lovisa are not just talented musicians—they’re true performers who bring heart, soul, and joy to every note.
Derrick’s saxophone playing was smooth, expressive, and so full of life. Lovisa’s voice is rich, emotional, and effortlessly powerful. Together, they created a vibe that was both intimate and full of energy. They also DJ’d throughout the event, keeping the music flowing perfectly and reading the room like seasoned pros.
If you're looking for music that elevates your event and performers who truly care about making it special, Dare to Love is the duo to book. Can’t recommend them enough!

Lovisa and Derrick bring the energy, chemistry, and talent every time. Their performances are polished and full of heart—you can feel it in every clip. Truly a duo worth following and booking.

Derrick and Lovisa are extremely talented musicians with a very refined sound and great skill.They bring energy to their sets especially with their Jazz renditions of songs which are amazing but can also create a calming atmosphere with more soulful covers also.

Dare to Love is an awesome and engaging duo with a truly beautiful sound! Their music is heartfelt and captivating from start to finish. I especially enjoyed the DJ collaboration they brought to the performance. It added a fresh and dynamic energy that took the experience to another level. Highly enjoyable and memorable!

I had the pleasure of experiencing "Dare To Love Music," and they were absolutely fantastic! What truly stood out was the connection they created with everyone at the event. Rather than staying confined to the stage, they stepped out and interacted with the crowd, singing and playing among us, which made the entire experience feel intimate and special. Their chemistry as both performers and as a couple was refreshing to see, adding an unforgettable touch to the occasion. I highly recommend them for any event!

My team was absolutely thrilled with the saxophonist and singer who performed during our couples cocktail hour. Their talent, professionalism, and energy were truly exceptional; they even made sure to play with the theme of the wedding. The smooth saxophone melodies combined with the soulful vocals created the perfect ambiance—relaxed, romantic, and full of charm. The guests kept commenting on how special and unique the atmosphere felt, and many shared it was one of the highlights of the day. They brought a touch of magic to the evening that they'll always remember. Highly recommended!

My current girlfriend and I attended a magical wedding on our first date… in fact it was Dare To Love’s Wedding (Derrick and Lovisa) and they performed their original music for the entire wedding. The music was captivating, and the entire experience was unlike any wedding I’ve ever been to before. Truly unforgettable- you could feel the love in the air! So much so, that my current girlfriend and I live together and have plans of having a wedding one day of our own!! Thank you Dare To Love Music!!

Dare2Love has my highest and warmest recommendations! Lovisa performed at our wedding, and to this day, it’s one of the most unforgettable parts of the entire day. Her voice is incredible—think the power and soul of Christina Aguilera—but what really makes her special is the way she connects with the audience. She doesn’t just sing; she feels the music, draws people in, and creates an atmosphere that’s both electric and deeply personal.
I’ve seen her perform countless times over the years, from big stages to more intimate settings, with a big band, in groups, and solo, and she always brings the same energy and passion. And now, together with her husband, who is an insanely talented musician, they bring a whole new dimension to live music. His saxophone playing is next level, and the way they blend live performance with a DJ set is just seamless.
If you’re looking for music that will elevate your wedding (or any event) and leave your guests raving about it long after, they are the ones to book. They don’t just play music—they create moments.
