We truly cannot say enough amazing things about the Dan Rafferty Band! They played our 09/04 wedding, and they were hands down one of the highlights of our entire day. We had people calling and texting us all week afterward absolutely raving about the band — the music, the energy, and how much fun everyone had on the dance floor. They kept the party going all night and made our reception completely unforgettable.

The jazz trio during cocktail hour was also such a perfect touch. They created exactly the atmosphere we were hoping for and set the tone beautifully before the reception even began.

Connie was also incredibly helpful throughout the entire booking and planning process. She made everything so easy, was organized and responsive, and helped us feel completely confident leading up to the wedding.

One of our favorite memories of the entire weekend was getting up on stage and singing with the band at the end of the night. It was such a fun, spontaneous moment that we’ll never forget!

From the planning process to the final song of the night, our experience with the Dan Rafferty Band was incredible. They brought so much talent, energy, and fun to our wedding, and we would recommend them over and over again. We already wish we could do it all over!

Working with E3 Detroit for my wedding (and welcome party!) was an absolute dream. We specifically worked with First Call, and our band leader was Mark, and the team was FANTASTIC. They were incredibly responsive to my song requests and actually adhered to them throughout each event. We hired them for our wedding, and later we asked if they could provide a sound system for our welcome party and they offered to handle music and the PA system for it. Their communication was seamless from start to finish. Not to mention that our dance floor was the talk of the town! Mark (who is both a singer and professional DJ), and his 11-person band, tore up the dance floor. They were walking into the crowd with their singing and instruments and it really hyped everyone up! We received so many compliments. Mark was also an excellent emcee and his transitions between key speeches/dances throughout the night were flawless. We couldn't be happier with our experience with E3!

I had the best experience with First Call Crew as my wedding band. They were great to communicate with during the planning process and asked very thoughtful questions to curate a taste profile so that they could match the energy we were looking for on the dance floor. On the day of the wedding, they provided music for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. All met the moment in exactly the way we hoped for and more!

We loved their high energy performance on stage and ability to engage the crowd. There wasn't a dull moment on the dance floor the whole night!

Thank you to First Call Crew for being a huge part of creating such a groovy, fun atmosphere during our wedding. I can't recommend them enough to anyone looking to incorporate live music and dancing at their next event!

If we could give DRB more than five stars, we absolutely would! From the very beginning, Derek's attention to detail was exceptional. Throughout the planning process, he made sure every aspect of the music and timeline reflected exactly what we envisioned. His professionalism gave us complete confidence leading up to the wedding.

On the wedding day, DRB truly made our wedding what it was. The energy was unbelievable from the first song to the last, and the dance floor was packed all night long. They read the room perfectly, kept the momentum going, and created an atmosphere that our guests are still talking about.

We've had numerous guests tell us they would actually pay money just to watch DRB perform again—that's how incredible they were! They didn't just play at our wedding; they brought the party and made it an unforgettable celebration.

Thank you, Derek, Connie, and the entire DRB team, for making our wedding beyond anything we could have imagined. We couldn't recommend you more highly!

My wife and I had an absolute blast at our wedding. E3 Detroit did a wonderful job of entertaining our guests! We highly recommend booking with E3 Detroit.

We were fortunate to have selected DJ Jayme Orr who could play guitar, sing, and drop it down on the DJ booth! She played amazing music during the cocktail hour sing/guitar playing hit songs on acoustic guitar.

When it came time to hit the dance floor, she didn't disappoint. DJ set, mixing and blending songs, to get our guests on the dancefloor!

The first call band literally made our wedding. Mark was so easy to work with and took all my requests and made the night perfect, this included editing first dance songs to make them perfect. The biggest compliment I got was how amazing our band was, and how not one person left the dancefloor all night. If I could give them 100 stars I would!!

E3 – First Call was the star of the show at our wedding. From the moment they started playing, they created an energy that kept our guests on the dance floor all night. Countless guests asked us where we found such an incredible band for a Northern Michigan wedding, and many commented that they were one of the best bands they had ever seen.

Their talent, professionalism, and ability to read the crowd made the entire evening unforgettable. They didn't just provide music—they created an experience that made our celebration feel truly spectacular. If you're considering E3 – First Call for your event, don't hesitate. They exceeded every expectation and were one of the best decisions we made for our wedding.

We hired First Call Crew for our wedding and it was the best decision we made. Our guests RAVED about them! Some told me they felt like they were at a concert and they wanted to find out where they were playing in upcoming weeks to see them again.   A friend who has been to a handful of Detroit weddings over the past few years told me that First Call Crew was by far the best she's heard. And they didn't just sound good - they were engaging, interacted with the audience, and looked like they were having fun themselves. They were absolutely fantastic and to top it off the band leader, Mark, is the nicest person. He was great to work, super kind, and also an incredible musician. I highly highly highly recommend!
