Dennis Winge Music

Finding the right live entertainment that everyone will love and will make your event memorable yet also fits your budget can be a daunting task that may make you feel nervous or even overwhelmed.

However, we believe that everyone has the right to the perfect music that serves the exact vibe they’re envisioning for their event.

Now on my second marriage, I know what it feels like to plan a wedding, and all the headache that can go along with it. Because I play scores of weddings, corporate events, and private parties every year and run several different bands, I know how to help take the burden for finding the right music off your shoulders, and I am proud that many couples say “Dennis was super-easy to work with and a good communicator.”

As my bio states below, I have been playing gigs since I was 16 years old. I have played at Carnegie Hall, the L.A. F.A.M.E. Awards, the original CBGB’s, Grassroots Festival, in several countries, and with some well-known musicians (see bio below). I have 9 albums out as a leader (see reviews below) and have appeared on dozens of others. I run Guitar Lessons Ithaca, and I actually still take lessons myself!

We promise that we’ll do everything in our power to make sure that you and your guests will have an amazing time!

When you book with me or one of my bands, you’ll a) have the perfect mood set for each portion of your event, whether it be solo guitar for your ceremony, chill background music for cocktail hour or dinner, or in-your-face dance music for the reception b) hear lots of songs you love c) impress your family & friends of all ages d) be able to hold conversations easily because the volume is perfect e) have the flexibility to either plan out every minute of your event or be completely spontaneous (or anywhere in between) and have the luxury of the band adapting easily

If you book elsewhere, you may get a more ‘cookie cutter’ band and thus not ultimately be able to remember your event as well, or the musician(s) may not exactly fit with what you are looking for or perhaps play too loud or too soft, and your friends and family may be disappointed.

If you decide we are good match and you book me or one of my bands, you’ll be relieved that the music for your event will be perfect and you’ll be excited knowing that looking back you’ll always have many fond memories of the event!
