Diane McIntosh Band

Diane and her band have definitely set the standard for live performances, with their professionalism, personalization and talent. This is truly a wonderful band on and off stage. From initial contact, Diane was very prompt and easy to reach by phone and email. She immediately made me feel relaxed and comfortable working with her. She was also very thorough in directing the details of the reception and really got people moving out on the dance floor. She is truly gifted with a gorgeous voice. Another big plus was their large song selection which included something for everyone. The diversity of genres the band can play is very impressive. They played every song that was requested, and then learned additional songs that were not on their list. Many of the songs they played sounded even better than the original! They were amazing!!!

Our decision was based on level of professionalism, musical ability, and variety of music. We were concerned that our reception might be very difficult due to the amount of cues and short plays and breaks that we were requesting, so we had to choose a band that was capable of meeting our specific and unusual needs. Diane was fantastic about working with us and helping us deal with issues as they came up.The music was fantastic and Diane’s voice is fabulous. We were so touched to be able to dance to the song we requested and it sounded fantastic. They are very versatile and outstanding musicians that play a wide variety. There was something for everyone. They were professional, courteous, and went out of their way to play any song we requested. We were blown away by their stage presence and their talent. They are so much fun and will make your event one to remember!

Diane McIntosh and her band are AMAZING! I wanted true, amazing talent - a voice that would bring tears to my eyes, and she was it. Her voice is just beautiful. As soon as she started singing “The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face” for our first dance, the entire room just froze!We watched their videos and knew they were good, but that did not compare to how talented this band is! They played everything from Motown to R&B, Funk, Pop and some classic Rock. I don’t know anyone who can play and sing ANYTHING - from Roberta Flack, all the way to ACDC, but they did and it seemed effortless. All of our requests were played, and they also included some great current songs that we were not even expecting.Diane was always prompt in returning my calls, and was very specific in answering my questions about song requests, and when to incorporate things like toasts and cake cutting, so that we could maximize our dancing time. We really wanted lots of dancing and that is exactly what we got! They are full of energy and know how to pack the dance floor. By the end of the night we still did not want it to end, but our limo was waiting. This is a PREMIUM band. We could not have been happier!!!

Diane and her band were SO VERY MUCH FUN. They are wonderful musicians and Diane's voice is to die for. They are play any type music and play them all well. I cannot say how much EVERYONE (all ages)enjoyed them and are still talking about them. If you want a GREAT band....Diane McIntosh is worth every penny and more! EXCELLENT, EXCELLENT, EXCELLENT!!!!!!!

Loved the Diane McIntosh Band for so many reasons:1. So much talent, what a voice coming out of that little body of Diane's2. So much fun to dance to, everyone was on the dance floor!3. So generous, both daughters sang with and w/o Diane on the stage4. So entertaining, you could tell they love what they do!5. So worth every penny, money can never buy the sounds that came out of all the talented performers!I will forever be indebted to them for the Brilliant time they shared with our family and guests!

I heard the Diane McIntosh Band at a friend's wedding and knew I wanted her to play at mine when I got married. 3 years later, I tracked her down and they were AWESOME!!!!! I hear a new compliment on my reception band every day. Diane quickly responded to calls and emails, was very easy to deal with, and was a stress relief for me because of her professionalism. I highly, highly recommend them to any bride or event coming up. they played EVERY song I asked and was willing to learn any new song I had a request for. I'm telling you, these guys are a 15 out of 10!!!! You will be happy you have them as your band!

The Diane McIntosh Band was fantastic. I have had so many people comment to me about how much they enjoyed the reception and how the band was really, really great. The band truly elevated the party to another level. Incredible.

The Diane McIntosh Band was outstanding in every way. They really knew what songs to play to keep everyone on the dance floor. Diane was very good about answering all the questions we had and the band sounded fantastic. If you are in need of a wedding band that knows how to have great crowd involvement as well as sounds great, then the Diane McIntosh Band is a great option that I would reccommend to any Bride/Groom.

Loved, loved, loved Diane and the band! Great music selection, high energy, very responsive to our needs. Would highly recommend them to others seeking a memorable event-live music makes all the difference. Can't wait to see our video. All our guests loved it!

Diane and her band did an excellent job at my wedding!! I had a large variety fo age groups in attendance so I was worried about the entertainment. Diane kept my guest on their feet all night...my husband and I never sat down from being on the dance floor (and I'm usually not the dancing type). Many of our guests commented on the band and how great they were. I would definitely recommend the band for your wedding...worth every penny. Don't go with a DJ...take it a notch up and do the live music...you won't regret it! :-)Even when the wedding reception was over...Diane was still performing and my mom had to tell her that it was okay to stop :-) Joi Reed FairellWedding date: 10-9-10

We booked the Diane McIntosh Band sight unseen, based on price and the performance videos on her website. Simply put: It was a mistake.My bride and I were overwhelmingly disappointed with the band's uneven performance at our wedding this weekend. And as I write this review, I will make a point to be fair.-- Diane did a good job of reading the crowd, and when people were reluctant to dance, she went to the old standby -- The Electric Slide -- to get people on the floor. -- She is also a fine singer and stayed in key throughout the night, as the evening wore on.However, she approached our wedding as something other than the once-in-a-lifetime event that it was. For her, it might as well have been a fly-by-night roadside motel gig in the sticks of Atlanta.We provided Diane with a short playlist of requested songs, which she must have considered optional. The majority of the songs we asked for were never played. When I approached her during the reception about playing a block of salsa songs we requested, she looked at me cluelessly.The fact that she missed these songs speaks to her general lack of preparation. Worse than that, though, was the tacky way she introduced my father's toast; her unnecessary talking in between songs; and a general lack of grace and professionalism. ... And then there were the four minutes of complete silence as we cut the cake! As I looked to Diane for music, her back was turned as she was fiddling with lyric sheets. Unacceptable.Had we known in advance the uneven level of performance, we never would have booked The Diane McIntosh Band. They are a decent band for the money, but be warned.

The Diane McIntosh Band performed at my daughter’s wedding. They were amazing. They had a great variety of music. Our guests danced all night. Every member of her band was extremely talented. We added one saxophone player, he, like the rest of the band was fantastic. Diane was very professional, great to work with. Every request that we had was done. Our guests commented all evening about how much they loved the band. I would recommend Diane to anyone. When planning an event in the future, she’ll be the first person that I will call. I can’t say enough good things about her and her band. She helped to make our event perfect.Janet Simms

My ONLY complaint is that the band did not know ANY Curtis Mayfield songs. Soooo sad! I had to dance my first dance to Etta James "At Last" I have nothing against Etta but I really would've wanted the spirit of Curtis Mayfield's "So In Love" :(

The Diane McIntosh Band was AMAZING at our wedding! They play a wide variety of jazz, rock, 80s, current music, and more. Diane is super sweet and was wonderful to work with before the wedding as well. They were able to keep everyone dancing on our dance floor all night long! We received so many compliments from our guests that they loved our band and had a blast during the reception because of the great music! They also kept track of all the songs we requested to be played (and not played) during the night. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a wedding or special event band! They are AWESOME!

The Diane McIntosh Band was an absolute hit at our wedding reception! We wanted a band that could perform a little bit of everything including motown, jazz, rock and pop. We definitely made the right choice! Diane has an AMAZING voice and the band is excellent. We decided to add a saxophone player and felt like that added a really nice touch. The band always seemed to know what to play and when to play it. They started off with some nice jazz to bring in our guests and then worked there way into the classic motown and rock. The band had everyone out on the dance floor and Diane was great about getting all of our guests involved. We are so glad that we booked such a wonderful band and would highly recommend the Diane McIntosh Band!
