We absolutely loved Diamond River Band, they were amazing. We had such a blast and they kept the party so lively and fun. I actually felt like real time they were even better than we expected based on their promo videos. We will definitely do a Google Review for them. Only good things to say. Thanks so much!

Josh, Just wanted to take a moment to let you know how appreciative we are for the job you and the band did on Saturday night. You guys set the tone of the party…and it made the joint jump. The songs were all great choices and I do thank you for the help on my speech. You got the best reviews from our guests…the most important: “they didn’t sound like any wedding band we’ve ever heard before!” Again, thanks so much.

They were incredible! Josh was so easy to work with. Each set was perfectly timed and their range was amazing. I would highly recommend them for any occasion. Thank you for your help with the booking. My friends already want me to have another birthday party next year.

Super flexible and such a fun band! Josh is really great to work with and the band was so flexible with requests (prior to the wedding day and on the actual day as well!) SO great to work with Diamond River!

They were absolutely incredible and one of the highlights of our entire day! From the first song to the last dance, they kept the energy high and the dance floor packed. Their talent, versatility, and stage presence were unmatched—they read the crowd perfectly and delivered an unforgettable performance that our guests are still raving about. They were also a dream to work with: professional, accommodating, and genuinely excited to be part of our celebration. If you're looking for a band that will make your wedding feel like the best party of your life, look no further. We can’t thank them enough!

Diamond River was exactly what we were looking for and more! The band was incredible to work with from planning to end. They were very communicative and helpful in navigating the logistics of the day. We knew one of our most important goals was to have a great band and fun time for all. Our guest can’t stop commenting on how wonderful they were. We loved that the dance floor was full of all ages. If you’re looking for a great band and good time, look no further than Diamond River.

We LOVED them! They kept the energy going all night and after lots of encouragement from the guests, even came back out for an encore. Definitely happy with the experience. They sounded so great a few guests thought the music was originals on a playlist in the beginning.

Reid – I owe you for the rest of my life. Seriously, I speak for everyone when I say the band was incredible. From start to finish. They set the tone early with this awesome mashup early of “Tennessee Whisky” and “What’s Going On”. I cannot thank you enough. Can’t wait to hang with y’all in Charlotte so I can give you the full run down. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU.

Let me just say this… we’ve had a lot of family weddings over the last 15 years with bands. Diamond River Band was the best one yet. They were incredible, professional and on point. All my flower girls kept asking them for permission to sing a song and the band accommodated and played the song and harmonized with two girls under 10. It was the sweetest moment.

- Linda S.

The band was absolutely awesome!! Not only was their music top notch but they had a real knack for reading the audience and playing the right music at the right time to keep everyone engaged and dancing. Things could not have worked out better.

Alix and I want to thank you, Dave, and DRB again for amazing services and a wonderful band for our wedding as well as handling the replacement singer immediately (who was awesome!). Thanks so much!!

2022-04-23

We were extremely happy with the Band's performance. Numerous guests commented that DRB was the best band they have ever heard at a wedding! Each band member was extremely personable and professional and the music was awesome! They definitely understood the vibe we were going for and made our wedding day extremely memorable. Jim Arrendell was also incredibly easy to work with. Overall, we had a great experience with this company. I cannot recommend them enough! Thank you!!

The band definitely exceeded our expectations! They were great. We received several compliments on the band from our guests. The song list was perfect and the band members are very talented and friendly too! If ever again we need a live band, or if someone is looking for entertainment, we would be happy to recommend the Diamond River band.

Could not have asked for a better band for our wedding! Our families are dancers and they kept us on the floor all night! Dave was great to work with and seamlessly accommodated our special requests. Our guests could not stop raving about the band! Thank you all for sharing your talents to make our celebration so perfect!

Diamond River Band was beyond fantastic. Great musicians! They were delightful to deal with. Dave was meticulous in every detail to make sure everything during the night went off without a hitch. They did everything we asked of them and more, from the ceremony music, the cocktail hour music, and then rocking out on the dance floor for the rest of the night. Loved that they had an MC who guided the sequence of events of the evening. I wish I had another daughter, because I would have them play the wedding. All our guests couldn't stop talking about the band and the music, which was evidenced by the crowded dance floor all night long! 10 out of 10 stars for Dave and his band! Thank you so much!

Thank you! Diamond River Band was awesome! Everybody had a wonderful time and we got many compliments on their performance. I would recommend them to anyone.

DRB was absolutely amazing! They can literally perform any genre or song! They have incredible range and played a really diverse set. Everyone young and old was out on the dance floor. They were the number one compliment we got about our wedding and were worth every penny! They also played a dinner set so played for over 3 hours. Can’t recommend them enough!!

2021-06-12

Our guests could not stop raving about Diamond River Band! Their song selection was perfect, and I can't believe we actually worried about keeping guests on the dance floor...We definitely had to drag a few away at the end of the night. I'll be doing reviews later this week when I readjust to real life. Thank you so much for working with us; I am so glad we were able to make things work even with the COVID postponement.

I cannot thank you enough. The band did an amazing job learning our songs. We received so many comments as to their talent. Guests noted at times they struggled with differentiating between the band and the recorded version because they did such a great job with each song. I could not have asked for a more fun and talented group. Having a covid wedding was challenging and having a group so professional and talented just helped make it all we could have wished for. Great energy and just an absolute great experience. I cannot thank them enough!

DRB played at our wedding on 3/14/20 and they were amazing. We were excited about them from their videos because they have both male and female vocalists but also the immense range of songs they cover. They were definitely the focal point as the dance floor was always packed. Our venue and stage/dance floor were slightly smaller but it had the feel of a live concert; I found myself stopping on the dance floor and just watching and listening to them almost as much as I was dancing. They can pretty much play anything and even learned a song for our first dance. They were extremely professional, polite, well-dressed, and easy to work with. Honestly, our only wedding regrets were not having a videographer and not having an extra venue hour so that we could have enjoyed the band and dance floor more! I will even say that they weren't our first choice just because we had local favorites we tried to get first and didn't know DRB/couldn't see them in person prior to booking, but that's not to take anything away from them because they were every bit as good as their reviews and music videos!

Your band was insanely good! Y’all did an amazing job and Josh takes back about your singing partner...her voice is incredible! Thank you so much for making the best day of our lives just perfect. We had friends from Los Angeles to Texas to Charleston, NYC and Boston and they all raved about the band and asking where you were from!!! Can’t thank y’all enough!

The band was AMAZING!! Everyone was raving about how awesome they were and were shocked when I told them I had no involvement in their set list! They absolutely exceeded our expectations; I did not get to speak with them too much but Chad did, before hand, and he has not stopped talking about how personable and professional they all were! We will absolutely recommend Diamond River and the booking agency to anyone who ever asks! Thank you again for helping make our wedding day

I'm reaching out to tell you exactly how amazing y'all made our wedding day. (Ours was June 1st at The Farm.) When I first set out to choose a band, I watched about 800 promo videos, and they were all starting to blur together. When I saw y'all's, something clicked. I just had a really good feeling. I loved your sound. You were even better in person, and no one would stop talking about y'all for about two weeks. Robby and I were blown away, my parents were blown away, and every time I talked to my mom on the phone, she would bring up how so-and-so called her to say that they loved the wedding and WOW the band was just fantastic. There's just something unique about y'all's sound. Also! I literally broke my foot while dancing during one of the songs toward the end of the night. Snapped a metatarsal right in half. Needed surgery and everything. I kept dancing because I just couldn't stop. I've been on crutches all summer and it was completely worth it. Your music was so good that it became a medical issue. I just still can't get over how fantastic you were and want to tell everyone in America to book you. Thanks for all you do.

AMAZING!!! The band had tight vocals and instruments, lots of energy, a perfect set list, a great ability to read the room, and they even looked really cool. Our friends had SO MUCH FUN!! I'd suggest a giant "Diamond River Band" banner behind them because everyone wanted to know who they were. No one was ready for the night to end. Also, many thanks to Dave for setting up sound for the wedding ceremony. It was exactly what we needed. The next time we need a band, we will look no further! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!

Diamond River is very talented and experienced. They can perform a variety of music with professional skill. I would highly recommend them for your special event. They helped us with a charity fundraiser and it was smooth and very enjoyable. Want them to return next year.

We absolutely loved Diamond River Band. They mastered the classics, while still providing a unique and fresh sound. My husband and I (and our guests) didn't want to stop dancing. From working with Dave in the beginning to the last song of the wedding reception, it was a FIVE STAR experience, hands down. Thanks to Diamond River, we experienced an unforgettable reception with many memories on the dance floor. Thank you!!!

Oh my goodness - this band was INCREDIBLE! Every single one of our guests could not say enough about how amazing they were. They had so much energy - I don't think I've ever spent so much time on the dance floor at a wedding! Such a great experience - from booking them to the day of - Jim and the band were so easy to work with and so accommodating. Seriously, booking them was the best decision we made for our big day!

I am still smiling from my big party! It was a terrific evening - everything went perfectly. I can’t say enough positive things about Diamond River Band!!!!!!! The band was absolutely incredible - everyone was impressed with their vocals and the full sound. A number of guests have asked me for their - and your - contact information. Dave and the other band members couldn’t have been kinder and more celebratory with me. Really, I was so happy with them. I wish they could play in my backyard each month! Thank you for making this recommendation and for orchestrating the arrangements.

Diamond River Band was amazing! Not only were they extremely talented and played very well to our crowd, they were exceptional professionals on the business side as well. Everyone raved about how much fun they had at our event and I certainly attribute that feedback to the awesome Diamond River Band.
