E3 Detroit

"DRB made my wedding extra special and a day people are STILL talking about! From the beginning both Derek and Connie were very responsive to my questions and sending a schedule so we could see the band perform multiple times. Leading up to the wedding Derek was able to walk us through the reception, as well as take care of all of our request. The DRB brings HIGH, engaging, and fun energy to the party. Our dance floor was packed all night. Moving in from our wedding we will continue to seek them out at local bars. I highly recommend them if you are looking for live entertainment!"

"The Dan Rafferty Band was the first vendor my husband and I booked after our venue and date were decided. They are incredibly talented and so engaging throughout the entire event. They make sure to cater to your music preferences and truly can and will perform every genre extremely well. I could not have imagined our wedding reception without them. The dance floor was always packed and guests raved about them all night long. Derek and all of DRB is amazing to work with and a huge enhancement to any wedding or special event. We love them!"

"We booked with E3 for our wedding on 9/30 and everything was absolutely amazing. I would HIGHLY recommend using them for any event. They coordinated everything for our ceremony and reception and made everything super easy. We had FreeLance Rocks as our band and I really cannot overstate how much we and our guests loved them. Rob was there from beginning to end to help keep everyone moving and on the dance floor. We cannot thank Rob enough for everything he did to make our wedding so great. I wish we could do this all over again! Thank you again to Rob, Connie and everyone at E3 for making our day so perfect and everything leading up to it!"

"Long story short: The Dan Rafferty Band was the best vendor hire of our wedding. Period. Long story long: Derek and the Dan Rafferty Band are pure class acts. It pays to have a band that specializes in weddings - with Derek, you get not only a band, but an experienced MC and DJ. There was not a moment of silence throughout the night, and Derek / the band did an incredible job as keeper of the timeline AND the vibes. Derek went absolutely above and beyond for my family. At weddings, we perform a traditional Italian Grand March led by the aunts and uncles. Our dance floor wasn’t shaped in a way that was conducive to the March, so during dinner, Derek worked to get speakers out into our cocktail area. The Grand March went off without a hitch! Another highlight - the band was so gracious and allowed me to hop on drums for a song (pictured below). Such a memorable moment! We had the most incredible time, and E3 Detroit played a huge role in that! Would give 6 stars if I could. (Photos by Mallory Tahy Photography)"

"I had personally seen both the DRB and E3 perform at weddings back in 2018 and knew as soon as I started the planning process they were the band I wanted!! Truly, no one else compares. Mark and the First Call crew were absolutely phenomenal from start to finish!! To say they did not disappoint is an understatement. From our very first conversation to their live performance, the E3 team and Mark made us feel like their #1 priority. They were on top of every email, every question, every need almost immediately. Which, as a totally Type A bride was BEYOND appreciated! From a performance perspective, you would not believe how many compliments we received from our guests saying "your live band is AMAZING!" But, we already knew that going in. ;) They truly put on a spectacular performance and learned all of the songs that were special to us for that day. Even during challenging moments trying to corral guest (due to the size and layout of the venue) Mark and his team had it covered. Please do yourself a favor and hire E3 to play your wedding!!! It will be a party you won't forget."
