"I have been meaning to message you directly also to thank you. What you produced the night of our wedding was nothing short of magical - and I do not say this lightly. I am very happy to hear the band enjoyed the evening - I think their enjoyment and energy showed through their music. The feedback we have had from guests is overwhelming, particularly that the band and the singer (I don't remember his name) was the best they have ever heard at a wedding. You guys nailed the performance. I am so happy that we decided to do a live version, you could not have gotten the same energy and vibe with just a recording / original version. Your two sets were also perfect. There were a few times that we all stopped in the marquee to listen and appreciate the music, particularly My Way - I remember looking around and quite a few people were singing along! I think another sign of a success of a wedding is the number of people on the dance floor, and there was not an empty space during the second set. The amount of people of all ages dancing was a true highlight for me as we wanted this to be a wedding that everyone would enjoy - not just us."

"Tony entertained us all at our St Valentines Dinner Dance. He was without doubt the best singer we have had. He tailored his music for our group of senior golfers and wives at Nuneaton Golf Club. BOOK HIM NOW, you will not regret it!"

"Denis Cook is the perfect pub and bar-room entertainer: genial, charming and chatty with a charismatic personality, so it's not surprising that the sumptuous Haven Wine Bar & Restaurant in Whetstone booked Denis for several gigs, since he's the ideal 'mine host' for this exclusive venue, encouraging the guests to join in and have a fun time. With many strings to his bow, in addition to singing Denis plays guitar, mandolin, ukulele, harmonica and kazoo, but his greatest claim to fame is that he taught his nephew Norman Cook, alias Fatboy Slim, to DJ! (Denis has been 'spinning discs' since 1969 and the young Norman was soon hooked on music too!) Though perhaps not the greatest instrumentalist to perform on stage, Denis more than makes up for this with his highly tuneful singing voice, careful selection of material and infectious personality. Skill and experience gained through years of DJing shines through in Denis's easy command of banter between numbers, putting many other pub acts to shame, and his sheer dedication to entertaining others certainly evidenced in this three-hour gig undertaken with hardly a break. Starting with the Eagles' country ditty "Peaceful Easy Feeling" and a stripped-down version of the Foundations' "Baby Now That I've Found You" guests knew they were in for something special, loving the laid-back, peaceful easy listening style and the fact that the music was at a very reasonable volume: no blasting speakers here! Then, after just three songs, self-accompanied by guitar, Denis popped out his mandolin for a very enjoyable rendition of the Kinks' "Tired Of Waiting For You" and Steve Earle's Irish classic "Galway Girl" before switching to the ukulele for a charming interpretation of McFly's wistful "Love Is Easy" but, in addition, you'll find plenty of variety in Denis's act, ranging from party numbers like the Mavericks' "Dance The Night Away" and Roxy Music's "Let's Stick Together" to country classics such as Glen Campbell's "Rhinestone Cowboy" and John Denver's "Take Me Home Country Roads" to up-to-date material like George Ezra's catchy "Budapest" as well as some good old rock 'n roll. And - how many performers would be brave enough to attempt Rupert Holmes' excellent "Escape" (The Pina Colada Song); the late Ronnie Lane's rocking "Ooh La La" or Billy Ray Cyrus' witty comedy number "Where Am I Gonna Live?!" Mr Cook will be returning to the Haven soon and my advice is that you might want to reserve a table, since the place is likely to be well be packed in anticipation of this great entertainer.

"Mark played his saxophone for the cocktail hour for our wedding and did an outstanding job. The music was beautiful and everyone raved about. It was such a nice touch and made our day more special. I would highly recommend Mark for your event. Thank you Mark."

"I find it very important in todays jazz environment that a player of Rick Holland talent gets heard and recognized because he carries on a tradition of swing and melodic playing that I consider most important in jazz. Hendrik Meurkens, Jazz Harmonicist, NYC"

"Martin, what can we say?! Thank you so much for coming all the way to Belgium to make our special day even more special! Having seen you so many times in Puerto Banus, we just couldn't imagine the day without you, and we were right! The people who thought we were crazy for flying you in are now trying to book you themselves! ​Thank you so much for being there on the day the "We decided on Forever" - Patricia & Michael Bleyen"

"When I imagined my wedding, I wanted it to be magical, unique and special – in a garden, at night, filled with candles, with Frank Sinatra classics, among other greats, playing in the background. Thanks to David’s Jazz Band, this dream became a reality. From the very start, they were incredibly friendly, they adapted to what I was looking for, and the set list they suggested was simply perfect. Without a doubt, if I were to get married again, I would ask them to play at my wedding. Everyone who attended my wedding still remembers that jazz band. All the members are extraordinary, especially the two vocalists. There’s nothing quite like live music, and then when you look at the photos and, above all, the video, it brings back so many memories and emotions. They are definitely a safe bet."

"The David Dominique Jazz Band really made all the difference at our wedding. All our guests will remember them fondly for their quality and professionalism. As the bride and groom, we’ll also cherish the memory of their warmth and dedication to their work. From the very first moment we contacted them (through Lucía), everything went smoothly, with clear information provided from the outset. We truly had a top-class band at our wedding, worthy of any high-end reception, and at a more than reasonable price. We are very happy to have chosen them and will fondly remember their performance."
