Why Choose Dapper?

Dapper can also provide a solo, duo or trio acoustic set. Featuring striped back versions of your favorite songs, Dapper's acoustic performances are ideal for creating an extra special atmosphere earlier in the day or for any other occasion.

Dapper are happy to learn first dances with sufficient notice and supply an iPod DJing service that’s fully customized to suit your requirements. Dapper also have the option of using an electronic drum kit if there is a noise level meter at your venue. The band can dress to suit the needs of your event on the night. They can dress formally in smart suits or in white shirts and black ties or just plain black shirts and black trousers to blend in. Alternatively if you prefer the band to dress down for your event, they are more than happy to wear casual clothes.

The band can also offer a laptop DJ service (with vast amount of popular songs from all eras) with a band member manning the decks, making announcements and taking requests. Saving you time, hassle and money, the DJ service is a great way to truly cater for everyone at your event.

Testimonials
Hi Geoff, Please could you pass on a huge thank you to James and the guys for Saturday night. They were absolutely brilliant, people are still commenting on how good they were and they definitely made the evening reception.Its really hard to choose a band just from internet searching but I couldn't have chosen a better band.They sounded great, perfect playlist and they really got everyone involved with a couple of special requests! I'll definitely be recommending them to anyone who is after a great band. Thanks again!
Andrea Lilley, wedding at Barton Mill, Old Basing - 8th June 2013

Dapper were fantastic, everyone complemented them on their performance. The really got the crowd involved. It was like having two bands for the price of one!
Ben Drew - wedding reception - Surrey –October 2011

The band judged the mood and tone of the room and guests very well. I was really pleased that the dance floor was full up by the second song and stayed that way all night. I had many comments from my guests about how good the band was and offered something a bit different to the usual wedding DJ.
Elaine Garnett - wedding reception - London – September 2011

They were unbelievable! Everyone was up and dancing and jumping. They were absolutely amazing and now I have to find an excuse to book them again! Honestly so many compliments, they did indeed rock my reception. Brilliant they are the most professional outfit out there and I would highly recommend. Thank you.
Jason Mirer - function - Oxfordshire - July 2011

Dapper were a fantastic addition to our day and filled the dance floor for both of their sets. Showed a real passion for what they do and even coped with one of our guests who was a rather over-enthusiastic backing singer! They played some fantastic tracks with a few extras that we had requested thrown in too which was great! A fantastic end to a great day.
