Helping people celebrate some of the most important moments of their lives is a responsibility we take seriously.

-- "Big Daddy Alright was one of the best decisions I made for my wedding. The band was professional and courteous and they were very accommodating of our requests. They showed up on time, all looked great, and played one hell of a show. Our guests still tell us how much they enjoyed the music and dancing. I would recommend them anytime!"
Nicole Burpo
--"My wife and I are Wedding photographers. BDA played the last two receptions that we shot. As soon as BDA hit the stage the guests hit the floor and could not stop dancing! It was easy to get candids of the guests having a great time. BDA, you made our jobs easy! Thanks!"

Corporate Events: Big Daddy Alright can provide a "festive" alternative to the sometimes "stuffy" corporate meet. Attendees are sure to remember this meeting when BDA fires up the horns and provide some first rate tunes to move to! We can provide the PA as well as soft dinner instrumentals. Professional, matching attire and a slew of good tunes will make your next meet a real swingin' time!
Private Parties, Club Concerts and Outdoor Events: When festivals come to town and some serious entertainment is a must, BDA can be called on to get the crowd hopping! If you need a 30 minute set, or a 4 hour evening, it's no problem for the band. Young and old can find a tune that suits their style! Drums, piano, 2 horns, upright bass, a blazing guitar and smooth vocals make BDA the tops in entertainment.
Rates: are determined by distance of travel, hours of play, food and or lodging necessities and PA needs. Contact us now to discuss!
