Dennis Winge Ensemble

We thank Dennis for playing the guitar at our wedding! He thoughtfully and patiently helped us with the upfront planning, logistics, and song selection. On the wedding day, we were able to rely on Dennis and his stellar guitar skills to set a great atmosphere for our wedding ceremony and cocktail hour. More...

Dennis and his Salsa Ithacana Band were the perfect addition to our wedding ceremony and reception. Dennis worked with us throughout the process to guarantee we got the music that we wanted. He played acoustic guitar during the ceremony (including a wonderful rendition of Blink 182's "All the Small Things") and his salsa band got us in the mood for drinking cocktails. After dinner, the band played an eclectic mix of classic rock, pop, salsa, (and more) and got our guests on their feet for one of the best dance sessions I've ever seen. I highly recommend Dennis for any of your party needs. He's an absolute professional who goes above and beyond to make your event special! Thanks again Dennis! More...

Dennis was PHENOMENAL. Everyone loved his playing, and he really kept the “vibe” going. He learned and played our first dance and performed it better than the original artist! We could not be happier.

Dennis was easy to communicate with. Makes things simple...went with the flow of the wedding. And read the vibe of the event well, as far as where to stand and what music to play at what time. Got quite a few compliments on the "guitar player"! More...

Dennis did a solo performance for us at a birthday party and I have no doubt any band or group he may play with would be fantastic. He has an amazing repertoire of music and will customize what he plays based on the situation and special requests. I would highly recommend him as a solo performer or in a group. More...

We had Dennis and The Way Band play at our wedding and it was a blast! Dennis is so professional and great to work with, he and the band have a large repertoire to choose songs from, which was the most fun part of the planning process. I'm so happy he played acoustic guitar for our ceremony and even agreed to learn a new song for my processional, it was perfect. Our guests had a blast tearing up the dance floor to their music, the band even learned 3 songs for the reception and also took requests from guests which was awesome. I highly recommend Dennis and The Way Band for your event! More...

The Way Band was absolutely amazing! So great to deal with from start to finish and everyone had an amazing time dancing to their music!

Thank you Dennis for making our wedding day so special! Your band delivered on everything we were hoping for and more. Highly recommend. So many guests came up to us saying how impressed they were with the band, Dennis on the jazz guitar and the other band member on the sax. Since our venue only allowed two musicians, we really appreciated Dennis' flexibility with the number of band members. In addition, he has a huge repertoire of songs to choose from. He even made the trip out to Saratoga. Best of all, he was professional and respectful and an absolute pleasure to work with. Thank you again Dennis! More...

Hi Dennis, you guys were awesome! The music was perfect and our guests raved about the band. It was everything we wanted and more. Thank you for helping to make the day a stress-free breeze. You're the utmost professional and I appreciate how you needed nothing from me on the wedding day. I showed up and you were there and it was so easy! My only wish is that we spent more of the cocktail hour outside to really enjoy the music! Thank you for learning Frank Sinatra's My Way, Elton John's Rocket Man and Roxette's, Listen To Your Heart. We loved the songs and you did an amazing job with them. I wish I could go back and relive the whole day all over again! More...

I am a wedding planner in NYC and my clients hired Dennis for a rehearsal dinner at Dutch Harvest Farm up in the Fingerlakes. Throughout the process he was quick to reply and very easy to work with! Dennis brought a fun energy to the event and the guests were raving about how great the band was. They did more of a jazz style ensemble for the welcome hour then played some easy listening hits for the rest of the evening. Our initial goal wasn't to strike up a dance party but a few guests couldn't help themselves because the band was just so great!

Highly recommend Dennis & any of his groups for your events!! More...

Dennis did a wonderful wedding. He played the guitar for our ceremony and what I did hear sounded beautiful. The guests spoke very highly or his music and enjoyed the instrumental music while they were sitting and waiting. Dennis is easy to work with, good with communication, and talented. Highly recommend using him for any part of your wedding More...

The band performed at our organization's philanthropic Red Dress Gala. The jazz was elegant and sophisticated, raising the event to the next level. Dennis was also incredible with planning the event, coordinating band members, and even offering a slightly reduced rate for our charity. More...

Dennis was everywhere he needed to be. We had a change in ceremony location based on weather and Dennis went with the flow having to set up in 3 different locations for the night, had one spot for the ceremony, one for the cocktail hour and one inside for the reception. Moved timely and played appropriate songs for the setting at all times. The guests loved him. More...

Dennis and his crew were so amazing and accommodating. They learned songs like two weeks before the big day because of some changes and did not even blink an eye. They had so many songs to choose from and they all sounded great! Highly recommend this band. More...

Dennis is an incredible musician and person. He was quick to respond on emails, flexible during our pandemic postponement scheduling process, and willing to take our special requests for music. We received so many compliments from guests on Dennis' acoustic guitar during our ceremony and the band's renditions of hits from Van Morrison, Grateful Dead, and Eric Clapton during our cocktail hour. I would hire Dennis and his band again in a heartbeat. Here is a video of music highlights during our wedding: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r1uCQJ3dDCI More...

We couldn't be happier with booking Dennis Winge as a one man band for a surprise 40th birthday party a couple weeks ago. Dennis is an extremely talented musician who played four hours' worth of the guest of honor's favorite songs, including learning about 10 new songs, solely because Dennis knew they were the birthday boy's absolute favorites ! We would absolutely book Dennis again for a future event - he is talented, professional, easy going, and an all around joy to work with. Thank you for a great night, Dennis! More...

Dennis gave a great performance!! It was an exact fit! He has an exceptional gift. My wife (whose birthday the party was for) was very pleased, and very surprised, and I got many pleasing comments from the rest of the guests as well. It was nice that he brought an extra mic for people who wanted to get up and sing, and he let my brother-in-law play a few songs on his guitar More...

It was a little nerve wracking to hire a musician for my wedding - but Dennis exceeded all my expectations. I would rate him 10/10 and recommend to ANYONE looking for a wedding musician. Everyone at the wedding loved the music. Thank you for making our day awesome!

Here are the following reasons Dennis is fantastic:
1) Great communication
2) Friendly & easy-going
3) Flexible with requests (especially considering the current state of COVID19.)
4) Professional in both conduct and technical skill.
5) Detailed personal website and many samples on Youtube More...

I planned a surprise 40th birthday for my husband from out of state and I knew I definitely wanted a band, but not being from that area made it a challenge. I have to say hiring Dennis and The Way band was the best decision I made for that party. They were so good we even paid for an extra hour! We were singing karaoke at the end, the kids were learning the drums and everyone was just having a blast. I would hands down hire them again and recommend them to anyone. More...

We have hired Dennis Winge for 3 years in a row to play at our company holiday party and people always approach me to tell me how much they enjoy his music during the parties. Dennis' presence takes what would be an otherwise average holiday get-together and makes it a more festive, lively atmosphere. We also like the variety of songs that he plays; there’s something for everyone. Plus, he's a very nice person to deal with, very friendly and personable. More...
