All Inclusive Wedding Band + DJ Package
We offer above and beyond that of a traditional Wedding Band. We provide an All-Inclusive entertainment package with a Band + Live DJ/Host, including a boutique-quality Sound & Lighting system to ensure the party goes non-stop, all-night long!
We'd LOVE to perform for your Wedding Reception or Private Party. This includes coverage from Cocktail Hour through an amazing Dance Party. We will custom tailor our performance to your style and create an evening that's totally "You".
moreYour Wedding & Our Stylistic Approach
We like to consider ourselves to be the band that's most in-tune with the modern Bride & Groom.
Being that we are all aged in our late 20's and early 30's, we identify with current wedding styles & trends... we will not be playing any of those corny, dated - cheeseball songs! During the band's sets, we begin with all the great Motown R&B Pop hits that will keep Mom, Dad, Aunt Edna, etc all on the dance floor and then transition throughout the evening into 90s & Current Pop hits like Michael Jackson, Rihanna, Spin Doctors, then finishing the evening with the 80s Classic Rock hits from Journey, Bon Jovi, to Van Halen. Our mission is to involve EVERYONE, age 5-75 into the party!
High-End Sound & Intelligent Lighting
What good is a band without a quality sound and lighting system? Our package provides a crystal-clear sound system and fully programmed LED Lighting production that not only makes the band sound great, but also lights up the reception room; Giving the desired "Wow!!" effect.

Planning your overall wedding budget and allocating those funds can understandably be stressful. Have no fear - We're certainly able to help!
When you ask people about what they remember the most from a wedding, the most common response you'll hear back is - “How Great the Party Was!”. The two biggest factors that go into creating a memorable party are : The Drinks & The Entertainment... So it’s EXTREMELY important that when budgeting for a wedding, to allocate properly for top quality entertainment.
Straight-up and plainly, there are many, good quality, "B" level wedding bands in the New England area that will quote in around the $4000-$5000 range for a peak-season Saturday evening in the Boston-area. But, the truly top-tier "A" level bands, that are guaranteed to make your party happen, should all quote in $5500+, some even as high as $8500+!
Speaking further on this, one of the biggest budgetary items planned for a wedding is the "Food" and other decorative pieces. This is not to diminish the importance of a phenomenal meal – we’ve certainly had some amazing meals at weddings we’ve performed at. Although, consider the cost of your entertainment on a level playing field with the other major wedding expenses. Take into account that most wedding plated-meals will cost $70, $80, or even up to $100 per person. Then consider the cost of a great band around the $6000 mark, dividing by an average sized wedding hosting ~150 people... and that equals around $40 per person for the entertainment. That's a pretty big difference, with the band being HALF the cost in most cases.... clearly visible, once the math is on the table!Finding the RIGHT Band for Your Wedding
Now after dialing-in your budget, there are (3) areas often overlooked, that will greatly help you compare, filter and narrow down to find the right band for your wedding. Those are the band’s dedication to: Performance – Professionalism – Production. There's a huge distinction between Boston wedding bands like us that bring our "A-Games" to every performance, versus some of the other bottom-feeder groups.
Our focus is not just on playing music... it's all about being your host for the evening, managing the energy level effectively, making sure our sound levels are evenly set, our lighting is programmed with colors that capture the mood of the song, and ultimately ensuring that everyone is partying all night long. With our holistic approach to events, we offer and deliver amazing results for every single one of our Bride & Grooms!
