Band Reviews & Testimonials

"Dawson Avenue were absolutely phenomenal from the moment they stepped on stage. We've had so many friends asking who they were because everyone wanted to know where we'd found such an incredible band."

— Natalie & George P.

Wedding at Great Fosters, Surrey

"We honestly don't think our wedding would have been the same without Dawson Avenue. They created exactly the atmosphere we'd imagined—relaxed to begin with and then an absolute party by the end of the night. The vocals were superb, the musicianship was incredible and every song seemed to get more people onto the dance floor. Looking around and seeing our grandparents dancing alongside our university friends is a memory we'll never forget. Thank you for making our evening so special."

— Ella & Wayne.

Wedding at Botleys Mansion, Surrey

"Dawson Avenue absolutely stole the show! We'd seen plenty of bands online while planning the wedding, but nothing prepared us for just how good they were live. The vocals were fantastic!! We've already passed their details on to two of our friends who are getting married next year."

— Nish & Alec U.

Wedding at Lillibrooke Manor & Barns

"Booking Dawson Avenue turned out to be one of the best decisions we made during the whole planning process... They finished the night with everyone singing to us at the top of their voices, and it was the perfect ending to an unforgettable day. We can't thank them enough!! x"

— Brett & Robyn.
