More than a band; The -complete- show package

What Sets Our Wedding Band Apart?
Tour-Quality Sound, Lighting, & Production Logistics.

A true performance goes beyond hiring a band of great wedding musicians. If you’re unable to clearly hear the vocalists or see the band because the lights aren’t programmed to correctly reflect the energy of the song, you’re missing key ingredients of a great party. We ensure every facet of our wedding band performance is produced to the highest degree of attention.

Lighting is the most overlooked aspect of wedding band performances.
Lighting will have a dramatic impact on the mood, energy and atmosphere of your ballroom, tent, or event space. We have custom programming based on the song we’re actively performing. Compare our production with many wedding bands who only use a few small lights, letting them flash and strobe thru random colors.

What About The Sound System? What type of production do you have?
Our production crew finely-tunes our sound system to keep the energy bumpin’ on the dance floor. It will also be comfortable enough volume for Grandma and Aunt Edna to carry a conversation at their table. A typical wedding band will attempt to have a musician manage their sound levels from the stage, behind their speakers, and while playing their instrument at the same time.

Our Wedding Bands -- In Total Candor

What Makes You Guys Different?

Considering you have 7 million items on your wedding planning to-do list, allow us to take 3 million of them off your plate!

Our Boston wedding bands have you completely covered. Providing live entertainment from Cocktails through a phenomenal Dance Party.

Our Overall Style
We pride ourselves in burying cheeseball songs that you’ve heard far too many times at other weddings! We’ve tirelessly curated the absolute best songs from each genre and generation; During our wedding band sets, we’ll begin with all the best Motown R&B hits that will keep Mom, Dad, Aunt Edna on the dance floor; Then transition thru the Homecoming Jams of the 90s – 2000s, and finishing off the evening with the Classic Rock hits, and your guests busting out their air guitars.

Straight-Forward Pricing
Our up-front pricing takes away worries of hidden costs or any logistical items that might pop up during and throughout the planning process. In addition to the above, we’ve built and developed trusted relationships with the premier wedding venues of New England; In turn, having those partnerships and familiarity, your event will be an absolutely exquisite experience from start to finish.

For Real Though, What's With these "Best of Boston" Awards?

Keepin’ it real for a hot minute:

How many musical wedding bands advertise the same two or three badges as 15 other bands in town? Nothing wrong with showing a badge on your website; But if everyone receives the same award, is it really worth anything?? In complete candor and context, these badges are given to simply redirect web traffic back to those sites. It’s a brilliant marketing strategy for them, but it doesn’t truly curate the “who’s who”.

Of course, it’s always great receiving an award.. However, it’s a true honor receiving recognition from websites and national publications like Style Me Pretty, Borrowed & Blue, Junebug Weddings, Wedding Chicks, Boston Magazine, People Magazine, The Improper Bostonian, My Mystic Wedding. Moreover and importantly, these are editor-curated sources, who genuinely take the time to award the best vendors in the area.. and we’re proud to say that we’ve been awarded by them all!

Do You Travel?

Yes, We Travel Quite Well!
While our wedding bands core-focus performance area is the Boston, Newport, Cape Cod region; We travel up and down the East Coast!

We also perform destination weddings in the Caribbean, as well as Europe, (Italy and France).

How Long Do You Play For?

We’ve got you on lock!

Our packages include complete reception coverage, including wedding musicians from Cocktail Hour through Last Dance, for up to (6) total hours! We’ll have all facets of your evening covered by our Band + DJ combo.

Typical wedding musicians will quote for 4 hour block, which doesn’t include cocktail hour, and also leaves you hanging if you’re extending your reception to 6 hours… All of which being ‘upcharges’. With us, it’s all-in, and no worries!

How Far In Advance Do You Book Out?

For the prime/core wedding dates, we typically book up up to 16-18 months in advance. Though we may still have a wedding date available in the 8-12 month range.

Live Videos from Real Weddings & Events

This is what we actually sound like! We’ve all seen those lip-sync’ed music videos, and let’s keep it real for a second… Things that make us go “hmmm…” — Why drop $50k on a music video when it’s not what realistically happens at a wedding??
