5 stars - Dexter are Highly Recommended
booked Dexter for their event in West Midlands September 2023

“Dexter were absolutely amazing! They understood the vibe we were trying to create for our 10th Year Business Anniversary party straight away. From the live duo during drinks reception and dinner, to when we wanted our guests hit the dance floor. We received fantastic feedback from everyone and I'm sure without Dexter, it would have been a very different night!! Thank you so much.”


Incredible band

5 stars - Dexter are Highly Recommended
booked Dexter for their Wedding in North Yorkshire August 2023

Wedding banding of wedding bands

5 stars - Dexter are Highly Recommended
booked Dexter for their Wedding in Gloucestershire August 2023

“Dexter couldn’t have made our day any better. Fantastic from the start, and learning our favourite song for our first dance made it that much special. Thank you Dexter”


Dexter made my 40th birthday party better than I could have imagined!

5 stars - Dexter are Highly Recommended
booked Dexter for their event in Staffordshire August 2023

“Dexter made contact one month in advance as planned. They confirmed the schedule for the evening, asked if I’d any particular requests & kindly put together 30min of a salsa DJ set in between the band’s two sets. The band also played a couple of songs as requested. They arrived and completed their sound check early as agreed. All band mates were very pleasant to speak to. Everyone commented on how good they were. I hadn’t seen Dexter play in advance of my party, but it was certainly a risk that paid off! If considering Dexter, don’t hesitate to book!”


Best Band Ever!

5 stars - Dexter are Highly Recommended
booked Dexter for their Wedding in Derbyshire August 2023

“I don’t know many bands that manage to get the entire wedding party on the dance floor during their sound check. Dexter were absolutely awesome and we would not hesitate to book them again!”
