Feedback

  • This is an awesome group of pro's !!! We were in awe of their talents and that we could get them for our New Years eve bash. Completely charming and pleasing to work with I would recommend them to anyone who wants an all around band that is capable of managing any audience no matter how diverse. At our event we had all kinds of different demands from ballroom music (including a tango), also rock, country, oldies, etc. and they handled all of it with grace and poise. They have experience, and they have lots of class, and they are really fun to work with!! Sincerely, Chris Canedy/ event planner -- Chris C, Cortez, CO, 12/31/2010
  • This band is fantastic! They not only entertained our group, but everyone walking along the lawn and sitting on the patio stayed to listen to them play. They are extremely professional and know how to play to high-end corporate type of guests. Their music is absolutely the best and it kept everyone asking for more. Our guests stayed long after the food was served and the dishes cleared just to listen to the band. I will definitely hire them again for our meeting in Phoenix next year. -- Garnett B, Phoenix, AZ, 11/16/2010
  • WOW!!!! What a band!! I highly reccommend this band for any event that anyone would have. Very accommodating, personable, and outstanding performance. They rocked the house at our festival and the crowd loved them. Definately a big plus to our festival. We loved them.. Standin On the Corner Foundation Board of Directors Yvonne Howeth -- Yvonne H, Winslow, AZ, 9/26/2008
  • The Dina Preston Band were wonderful and very accomodating. The proposed function had to be modified several times and the band was extremely helpful and understanding. I would highly recommend them for any function that needs high energy and has participants that want to dance. They are great! -- Irene W, Phoenix, AZ, 6/20/2009
  • Simply put in 3 words, the Dina Preston Band was sensational, dynamic and AWESOME!!!!! A mix of country, pop, rock and patriotic songs earned them a well deserved standing ovation. The U.S.Marines from Twenty-Nine Palms and Camp Pendleton sang with Dina on stage creating a legend on film that is being seen on military bases in Iraq and worldwide uplifting the spirits of deployed soldiers. The audience was roaring with laughter! Dina Preston is a tremendously talented vocalist with a beautiful and clear voice. Dina and Don are a rare combination of musical talent, enthusiasm and humor!!! -- Rabbine H, Bend, OR, 11/11/2007
  • Don Ortiz was great! He handled everything with professionalism and patience. We had a very tight schedule,but, thanks to him, we pulled it off. His DEO Productions also did my facades and special effects. Wow! what a night. Everyone had a blast. We are still getting thank-yous from people. We had scorpion races, the mechanical bull, hatchet throw, quick-draw guns, indian artisans,singers, can-can dancers, an indian blessing, a hoop-dancer, linedance instructors,a fiddler,and it was Dina's birthday, so we presented her with a giant cake. The whole evening was very special. Thank you for recommending them. Regards, Jeannette -- Jeannette D, Mesa, AZ, 12/12/2008
  • Absolutely amazing. Guests loved the music. Thank you -- Yasmin D, Scottsdale, AZ, 10/17/2008
  • They were all great and everyone at our party had a fabulous time! Thank you guys!!! -- Brooke P, Paradise Valley, AZ, 12/19/2009
  • The Dina Preston band was perfect for our group and the occasion. We will definitely book them again for this annual event. -- Susan V, Scottsdale, AZ, 4/21/2007
  • The Dina Preston Band met all of our expectation of providing relevant music to the audience. We had numerous comments on the talent of the band, music choices and performance and interacting with the group. The Dina Preston Band kept the audience either on the dance floor or tapping at the tables. They were the most enjoyable band I've seen in a long time. Great music, great talent and great showmanship. Thanks, Donna Abreu -- Cara V, Scottsdale, AZ, 10/6/2011
