"My team was absolutely thrilled with the saxophonist and singer who performed during our couples cocktail hour.
Their talent, professionalism, and energy were truly exceptional; they even made sure to play with the theme of the wedding. The smooth saxophone melodies combined with the soulful vocals created the perfect ambiance—relaxed, romantic, and full of charm. The guests kept commenting on how special and unique the atmosphere felt, and many shared it was one of the highlights of the day. They brought a touch of magic to the evening that they'll always remember. Highly recommended!"

"Derrick and Lovisa were the life and soul of our party! They came on time, set up efficiently, and read the rhythm of the party perfectly. The first set established a chilled vibe and by the second set, the band picked up the pace and really got the party going. I was initially reluctant to include a vocalist, but she was absolutely fabulous, with lush, lively vocals. Many of my guests got dancing, and everyone commented on how much fun the band was!"

"Dare To Love have my highest and warmest recommendations! Lovisa performed at our wedding, and to this day, it’s one of the most unforgettable parts of the entire day. Her voice is incredible- picture the power and soul of Christina Aguilera - but what really makes her special is the way she connects with the audience. She doesn’t just sing; she feels the music, draws people in, and creates an atmosphere that’s both electric and deeply personal.
I’ve seen her perform countless times over the years, from big stages to more intimate settings, with a big band, in groups, and solo, and she always brings the same energy and passion. And now, together with her husband, who is an insanely talented musician, they bring a whole new dimension to live music. His saxophone playing is next level, and the way they blend live performance with a DJ set is just seamless. If you’re looking for music that will elevate your wedding (or any event) and leave your guests raving about it long after, they are the ones to book. They don’t just play music—they create moments”

Dare to Love is a musical experience and a love story all in one. Having worked with them in the past, I can attest to their showmanship, talent, professionalism, and their beautiful spirits, both as individuals and as a couple. Whether you need some elegant, serene music to set the vibe, or you need someone to bust out ‘Careless Whisper’ while shirtless and jumping into a pool in the middle of a solo (a thing I have witnessed Derrick do) - you are in amazing hands with these two. Hire them!!

“I had the pleasure of experiencing "Dare To Love Music," and they were absolutely fantastic! What truly stood out was the connection they created with everyone at the event. Rather than staying confined to the stage, they stepped out and interacted with the crowd, singing and playing among us, which made the entire experience feel intimate and special.
Their chemistry as both performers and as a couple was refreshing to see, adding an unforgettable touch to the occasion. I highly recommend them for any event!”

"We LOVED hiring Derrick. Absolutely LOVED. We hired him to DJ for my husbands 40th birthday party. From the minute he arrived he was friendly, kind, professional, and had such a wonderful energy. Derrick DELIVERED!!!! We ended up paying for Derrick to stay longer because he was such a huge hit at our party. He played fantastic music, took recommendations, was approachable, and brought his Saxophone. Derrick blew us away and will be the only person I hire moving forward! We loved having him and he did amazing!"
