The Creswell Club Reviews

We worked with Dan for a few months via email to plan the music for our event. He and the band were so great to work with. Their songbook runs wide and deep, not just Jazz although that’s what we primarily asked them to play. My father in law was in a doo wop group in 1959 and a few of their recordings survive on YouTube. Dan asked if there were any songs we’d like to hear that weren’t in their songbook. We asked how they might translate a few songs from The Chevrons…they wholeheartedly took on the challenge, wrote sheet music for two songs, Lullabye and Don’t Be Heartless as none existed. Needless to say they over delivered. Not a dry eye in sight. Love these guys!

The Creswell played at our wedding this past Saturday, and they were absolutely phenomenal! Every guest had a fantastic time, and their performance truly blew us away. My dad wanted to join the band??! We’re so grateful for the incredible music and energy—they made our special day even more unforgettable. Thank you Creswell Club!

This is a phenomenal band! Could not have been better for our wedding. Professional to the core, talented, cooperative, accommodating, and did I mention talented? Jazz!!! And in period dress, which was wonderful. I really can't say enough about how good The Cresswell Club is. Don't hesitate. This is the band you're looking for.

Creswell Club were outstanding. I felt like we were at the Blue Note in the village but I was at my own wedding! Incredible. They played beautifully, worked with us on a song list and nailed the timbre of the evening.

I hired The Creswell Club for my wedding in Newport, RI and could not have been more pleased with their exceptional talent. They created a beautiful mood for my entire wedding, from playing on the lawn for cocktail hour, making our first dance so memorable to entertaining our guests for the entire reception. This band is incredibly talented, personable and embodied everything that I wished for musically. I SO appreciated their effort, hard work and dedication to make my wedding dreams come true and I cannot recommend this band enough!!

The Creswell Club was perfect! They were exactly the professionals we were searching for to play our prelude, wedding ceremony, and cocktail hour. They had an incredibly diverse repertoire and could give us Brazilian, jazz standards, etc. Dan and co. were so accommodating, and collaborative - even requesting an audio sample of my groom's rendition of our processional song to hopefully incorporate something of his style into their playing, which I was very moved by: they wanted to make it so personal for us. The day-of, they were so spectacular. Everyone was so impressed. My uncle, a music doctorate, was fascinated and kept chatting them up! And they're so nice, too!

Dan and The Creswell Club were an absolute dream to work with for our wedding. The Creswell Club was originally recommended to us by our venue Frankies 457 and the recommendation was spot on. We wanted a jazz band to add something special to our wedding/reception. The band was completely understanding when we had to postpone and made sure they were good to go with our new date a year later. A few weeks prior to the wedding we decided to add their vocalist which was very easy to do. Dan helped us to pick a few special songs and otherwise made sure to play upbeat music for the remainder of our reception. They arrived early and played perfectly from start to finish!

A wonderful group that never disappoints! We will continue to book them year after year.

My husband and I had a very unique vision for our 1920s/speakeasy themed wedding. Dan was an absolute pleasure to work with from the onset. He was so helpful in the planning process and provided immediate responses to my numerous emails! The group was accommodating with all of our requests. And although they were a breeze to work with, the reason that we ultimately loved working with them was the unbelievable talent!! We continue to receive complements from our guests about the live music. Thank you for being key partners in bringing our speakeasy to life!!

The guys were great! We have reached out to them a few days prior to our 1 1/2 day tech conference and asked them to play short pieces throughout the day. They were very accomodating and I was satisfied at the end! Can only recommend Dan & his guys!

Dan and his band were extremely professional throughout the entire experience. They showed up in plenty of time to be ready for the event and their performance was exactly what we needed to add that special touch to our evening. I would highly recommend Dan Martin Music!
