When planning your wedding evening entertainment you need a top class live band who can keep your guests dancing to their favourite songs all night long. You've had a long day to organize from hairdressers to florists, from church to hotel, from photographer to food. Wouldn't it be good to be able to relax after the end of your wedding breakfast and have someone else entertain your guests for the evening.

I have heard many tales of woe where the only entertainment booked has been a DJ, often no more than one of the hotel staff with virtually no training or experience, put behind the built in antique disco console with a small collection of tired 80s disco hits. Needless to say, the majority of the guests have sneaked away as soon as the buffet has been served and left the Bride and Groom with an empty room and a very sad end to their day. It's no good at this point wishing they'd spent a few hundred pounds extra - often no more than the cost of the cake which has not been touched - on an experienced live band to provide some first class professional entertainment for the evening.

The Dean Solomon Band has been established for nearly 20 years now and has worked in almost every venue in the north of England. They have established a reputation for reliability and for providing wedding entertainment in the North East, North Yorks and Co Durham second to none, thanks in part to their huge repertoire of songs spanning the last 60 years of popular music. Unlike a lot of north east wedding bands the Dean Solomon Band did not start life as a club and pub band but have always specialized in the more sophisticated world of hotel functions, dinner dances, charity balls and high class private events around the north east. Band leader Dean says, we pride ourselves on providing a great service to all our clients. They have peace of mind knowing that we always arrive on time, dress smartly, create the minimum of disruption when setting up our top quality compact but powerful equipment and lighting and then perform music to entertain guests of all ages. The only thing the Bride and Groom will need to do after the end of the wedding breakfast is their 1st dance and we will look after the whole evening from there on.

The Dean Solomon Band were resident for many years at the prestigious Blackwell Grange Hotel in Darlington where part of Dean's act was to ask members of the audience Who's your favourite singer? and then perform a song by that artist. Over many years he has never been beaten, hence the huge repertoire the band has today. This enables the band to cope with any situation which wedding music north east might call for given the wide range of ages and social backgrounds of guests at a wedding reception. They have an excellent website where you can find lots of useful information if you are looking for north east wedding music bands. There are also some sound samples of the band playing live at various weddings in the north east and North Yorkshire which you can listen to.
