“Dillon has been in our life for 11 years now and we had the privilege of being able to not only enjoy his music over the years, but to be able to perform with him. He is a wonderful musician and we have always known we’d like him to be apart of our big day. Choosing Dillon to perform at our cocktail hour was the perfect addition to the event. He is a one of a kind entertainer and an eclectic musician. Following the event we had several guests, as well as employees at our venue, come up to us and complement the amazing show he and his fellow musicians had put on! We are happy to recommend Dillon to anyone seeking out a high quality musician for their special day!”

“Dillon’s performance made for the perfect moment as we performed our first dance as a married couple. We were so impressed with his professionalism, attention to detail, and of course, his beautiful voice. We used the recording from the first dance as the music to our wedding video and have been singing along for two weeks! Can’t recommend him highly enough.”

So many of our guests commented to us how much they loved the live music and how talented and fun Dillon was. He is friendly, professional, and easy to work with!”

“Dillon has been a standout performer at Silver Shores, consistently delivering an unforgettable experience every time he performs at the lake. His unique blend of jazz and band arrangements always draws an incredible crowd and creates an energy that fills the entire space. Beyond his summer performances, Dillon also hosted a special holiday dinner show that truly showcased his talent—not just musically, but personally. His one-on-one interaction with the audience is nothing short of astonishing, making every guest feel seen, engaged, and part of the experience. We're so grateful to have Dillon as part of the Silver Shores music lineup and we are always excited to welcome him back each season.”

“We asked Dillon to play at our wedding cocktail hour, and it was one of the best decisions we made. His performance added a timeless, elegant touch to the day, and we received compliments from guests of all ages — from the youngest to the oldest. His mix of classics, paired with his energy and charm, created the perfect atmosphere and gave everyone something to enjoy. We wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking to add a meaningful and memorable touch to their special day.”

“My family hired Dillon to provide music for my Grandma’s 85th birthday. It would be so simple to say that Dillon was professional and everyone loved him & the band. But truthfully it’s Dillon’s warmth and energy that comes through above all else! What an amazing gift it is to have such talent and kindness wrapped into one person. Having Dillon play for such a special family occasion was the perfect decision because he felt like an extension of the family. Our family would gladly recommend Dillon to bring the entertainment time and time again.”

“I attended college with Dillon and my husband played in a jazz combo with him and many of our friends. For our wedding, I wanted to surprise my husband with a band of all his friends and of course an amazing vocalist!! Dillon called me several times and made sure everything was exactly how I wanted it. He even went as far as to reach out to our friends, gather a band, equipment and rehearsals. I knew I could trust him to have everything organized for our special day! When the day came, my husband was SO SURPRISED! I asked for classic jazz standards and Dillon delivered everything and more!! My guest loved it and we couldn’t have been happier. He did amazing on all aspects from organization, set up, and the performance. As a band director, I know what it takes to set up and rehearse for these events. He was amazing and I would totally recommend him and anyone he works with for your event!”

"Dillon’s a fantastic singer, a great trumpet player, and an excellent communicator. Dillon is the definition of professionalism, and you can tell immediately with the charm of how he holds himself all the time whether on the band stand or in 1 on 1 conversations. Cannot emphasize how much I would recommend Dillon "
