Wedding Reception•Reviewed on May 2, 2011•From Skokie, IL
We got a lot of positive feedback from our guests about how great it was to have live music, and about how wonderful the band was. They were able to figure out what made our crowd dance and kept the party going. They were friendly and accommodating. We really enjoyed working with them.

Mike was professional, responded to email/phone promptly, was easy to work with, and he was flexible working with the demands of our event (we needed two sets of music - steel drum/beach for the first set and rock/dance music for the second). He configured the band one way for the first set, and he swapped in another musician for the second set. Most importantly, the crowd loved the band in both sets! The band has high quality musicians and sound. I'd hire them again in a heartbeat.

If you are serious about having a good time at your event, BOOK THIS BAND. They played our December 11th wedding and I cannnot say enough great things about Mike Dangeroux. We have lot of crazy rock and roll fans in our family and they are hard to please, but our guests cannot stop talking about how great the music was! Mike played a mix of rock and roll, reggae, and motown songs that pleased everyone, from teens to grandmas - the dance floor was absolutely packed all night. Mike was easy to contact and very professional and independent when setting up and tearing down - the music at our wedding was absolutely flawless! He learned several songs for us too!

This band is bar none the best band that I have ever experienced. I can't even begin to describe how good they were....you have to see it and hear it to believe it. We booked Mike for our reception and we had a wide range of age groups from 20's to 70's and they rocked it! They were interactive and had everyone on the dance floor.....the guests are still talking about how good they were. This band made the night a total success! Thanks to Mike and his crew....you guys are a class act and highly recommended!

Amazing performers!!! Everyone loved the band. My dad, who has never danced in his life, was even out on the dance floor having a ball. One of our vendors commented that he had never seen so many people on the dance floor for such a long period of time! Seriously, great band, great performance... I only wish our wedding was longer!!

THIS BAND ROCKS! PLEASED WITH EVERYTHING FROM START TO FINISH. EVENT WAS CARIBBEAN THEMED, HAD A WIDE RANGE OF GUESTS AND MUSIC TASTES FROM 21 YEARS OLD TO 80. I ‘M A STEEL DRUM MUSIC FAN, BUT WAS A LITTLE AFRAID OUR GUESTS MIGHT NOT APPRECIATE 3 HOURS OF THAT TYPE OF MUSIC. THE RANGE OF MUSIC THAT HIS BAND PLAYED WAS FANTASTIC. SWEET HOME CHICAGO WAS SECOND TO NONE! NOT YOUR TYPICAL WEDDING, BACKYARD PARTY BAND. MORE LIKE AN ACT ALONG WITH A CELEBRITY BAND. THIS BAND CAN PLEASE ANY CROWD. MANY COMPLIMENTS, ENTIRE BAND TALENTED MUSCIANS! MIKE PLAYED A SONG WITH HIS TEETH, GUESTS LOVED IT!!!! WORTH EVERY DOLLAR AND THEN SOME. I WOULD USE THEM AGAIN IN A FLASH!

We were so very pleased with the Mike Dangeroux band! They helped to make our event one of the most memorable yet amongst our friends in Des Moines. The guests are still asking how they can book Mike Dangeroux for future events! The music and vocals were outstanding! I will recommend Mike Dangeroux to anyone.

Wedding Reception•Reviewed on June 29, 2010•From Indianapolis, IN
This performer promised to learn new songs specifically for our wedding and indicated he would be there (as the lead of this band. He did not show up -His band came but they did not have the song list and had minimal knowledge of the promises made. The band was over 20 minutes late for the start of their contract and they brought a full bar of alcohol even thought the contract explicitly said no drinking. They played incorrect songs for dances. We incurred a great deal of stress due to this band. I would not recommend this band, and I am contacting the band to seek compensation for the insufficient meeting of the contracted terms.

Mike and the band were phenomenal! We had the a fabulous time dancing at our reception, as did all of our guests. Mike was nothing but a reasonable, accommodating professional from the time we put a bid in to book the gig through the time he and the band packed up their instruments at the end of the night.

I planned my Chicago wedding from Los Angeles. I wasn't able to go hear bands play or take the time to get demos All of the band's demos are online and accessible, and I truly could not have picked a greater band for my wedding. ALL of our guests danced from the first dance until the very end of the night. My mom's fiancee wants to fly them all out to Vegas to play at his wedding. They were very professional, the singers were amazingly talented, and the musicians were fantastic. I'm a performer by trade, so my expectations and standards are high, and I couldn't have been more impressed. They are great people who know how to rock out and have a good time.

I hired Mike to play my wedding at Tower Club in Civic Opera.
The fee was half of their competitors and they play twice as long. Easy to work with, set up on time, played the time allotted even supplied piano player for cocktail hour. Played all the hits. Beyond our wedding dance song, I gave them carte blanche and they played them all. My guests were really impressed. I added female singer and her voice was incredible. The icing on the cake for me was they let me sit in on drums for a while (I am pro drummer). Their equipment was top notch (I notice these things more than most). I forgot (lost?) tip money but they were gracious when I mailed it later. Thanks!

Wedding•Reviewed on November 26, 2009•From Beach Park, IL
We wanted a steel drum band for our caribbean themed reception. We wanted to bring Jamaica home. Although we would have preferred more reggae music, our event had the feel of the islands. We heard many compliments from our guests. Although we were satisfied overall with their performance, they did not carry out our first dance as communicated and planned, they did not play a specific request we made ahead of time and we felt they took too many breaks (3) for a 4 hour event. Advice: even if you communicate special or specific reqeusts in writing, make sure to reiterate your requests the day of your event to Mike.

Overall, the band was pretty great. Numerous guests told us they loved them! Throughout the evening, several guests were even up on stage, jamming with the band. My only problem was with their professionalism. Though entirely courteous, certain band members returned from breaks reeking of weed. Now, I don't care what you do in your own time, or even if you show up at the beginning of the evening baked. But you shouldn't be doing it during the time I paid you for your services. Not professional. Especially at an event with children. And old, stuffy relatives.
:
Our biggest concern is the satisfaction of our audience and delivering a first class performance. We would never jeopardize having our show tainted by unprofessional conduct. Every band members sole occupation is that of a musician so we take great pride in bringing a fun and lively performance to whatever type of venue we are entertaining.

Mike was more gracious and accommodating than I could have hoped for. He responded quickly to my calls and e-mails, he took the time to help me decide what kind of music to offer, and which band members to use. All of my guests had an amazing time at my party, even though it was cold outside, because Mike kept them engaged. Many of them asked for his business card and plan to hire him in the future. I will definitely hire him again,myself. I am very grateful to him.

Wow, wow, and wow! This band was excellent! They had everyone at the reception on the dance floor!
We had a pretty diverse crowd - young and old - everyone enjoyed Mike and his band! We are still getting many compliments from all of the guests. It was a great mix of music (everyone loved the polka!)
Everyone got a kick out of watching Mike play his guitar with his tounge!
They were just perfect! You can't go wrong. (Plus, they were all very friendly)
