CLIENT FEEDBACK:
Dave Santiago & Latin Affair were truly amazing! They really know how to get a crowd on the dance floor. We enjoyed every moment of thier time and recommend them highly for any event. Dave Santiago & Latin Affair put on a performance our friends and family will never forget. Aside from being professionals, they also know how to engage the crowd in being a part of the music. They were just "incredible." You would have to experience it to know just how great their performance is! They were accomodating and courteous and we absolutely loved them!!!!! Our father's 70th birthday was a huge success because of Dave Santiago & Latin Affair.

It is my pleasure to recommend Dave Santiago and the Latin affair!! Our wedding was on July 21st, 2007 in Jamestown R.I. Dave and his band showed up early and gave the best performance that I have ever seen. I can't count how many of our guests during and after the wedding told me how that was the best wedding band that they have ever heard.
Dave's band members were truly talented musicians who seemed to have a great time at the wedding. Dave was not only professional but made our special day even better with his singing. Don't worry if you are not latin (we are not), everyone danced.
Thanks Dave, you were the best!

Dave Santiago and Latin Affair were exceptional! From the bid request through the day of our event, Dave remained in contact with us to discuss the details and format of our event. He responded to our email messages promptly and was available to talk via telephone. Many of the guests at our event gave rave reviews of the band. Dave Santiago and Latin Affair far exceeded our expectations, and they were extremely talented, professional, and flexible. We highly recommend them for your event.

I hired David Santiago and the Latin Affair for my wedding. I found them off Gigmasters and just took a chance (they had very good ratings). For weeks, people ranted and raved about my wedding and the band! They have great energy and you can tell they take pride in what they do. My husband and I had a blast! I was very happy I chose them. Dave is such a nice guy and such a pleasure to work with.

The Weston Women's League held our annual fundraiser with the theme, "Havana Nights." We were looking for a great latin sound, versatility in type of music from cocktail to dinner to dance music. Because of the format of the evening, we needed some flexibility to accomodate silent auction, live auction and an ever changing flow of the evening.
Dave Santiago was truly a pleasure to work with. He was flexible and reassuring through every step of the planning, confident that there would be no issues that were a problem. He worked without a stage and dealt with our space constraints. We reduced the number of band members to accomodate the budget. Every member of the band was professional. Most of all, Dave was kind and fun to work with and the music was fantastic.
Thank you, Latin Affair for a memorable "Havana Night."

We simply cannot find the words to praise Dave Santiago and Latin Affair enough. They were absolutely incredible, from start to finish. Dave was more than accommodating in every possible way in the months leading up to the party. He fielded every question and anticipated many to make the event exactly what we wanted it to be. In fact, due to Dave and his band, the party surpassed our wildest expectations. He is a consummate professional and his band is just amazing. He had everyone up on the dance floor but also provided soft background music while people ate. We wanted the evening never to end! We would recommend them immediately and enthusiastically. If you want a group of fantastic musicians with a positive, caring, and fun attitude, look no further!
