Endorsements
"As a professional in this industry, one has the opportunity to interact with numerous individuals from interior decorator to band leader. Over time, some of those individuals leave long lasting impressions, while others impressions just don't last long. I fully endorse those individuals from the Boston Common Band. Professional, skilled, and most of all easy to work with...these talented musicians deliver a night that will truly be, as Nat King Cole might sing...Unforgettable! The atmosphere a band brings to a function is unlike any other, but it is so vital to choose the RIGHT band to deliver those good times. Boston Common has an extensive song list for you to choose from, they've got a crisp demo for you to preview, and they play showcases around New England in order for you to see them LIVE! Once the first note drops, you will undoubtedly get your groove on ALL NIGHT LONG! From Brides to Grandmothers, Boston Common keeps a crowd engaged from start to finish. With strong leadership and a keen ability to read the crowd, the Boston Common Band is sure to be perfect for you!"
"Boston Common is one of the hottest wedding bands out there right now. Why settle for a wedding band that's been playing all the same material for 20 years? Theses guys know what it takes to get *TODAY's* party started! "

All I can say is The Boston Common Band was amazing. My wife and I got so much positive feedback from there performance. Everyone said by far the best band they have ever seen at a wedding and I agree! We had to hire Boston Common unseen do to my demanding graduate school schedule. Based on the information on there website (including videos) and the fact they are Berkley grads we decided on them. Their attention to detail during the preparation of our event insured us we made the right choice and we never had to worry. Then on the day of the wedding their performance just proved we made the right choice. I would highly recommend them to anyone.

When my husband and I were planning our wedding the music for the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception took top priority. Quality music was especially important for us since some my husband's family and some of our friends are musicians - tough critics. We wanted the music to be lively and fun - songs that young and old know, but that aren't dated or cheesy; songs that would keep everyone on the dance floor all night; songs that would make the wedding a real party.
Because neither of us are from New England, all of our planning was remote. We never heard the Boston Common Band live before our actual wedding, but we did listen to them on YouTube. The clips don't do them justice. Simply put, the band and DJ were AMAZING! The dance floor was packed the entire night! They are all truly gifted musicians. One month later, our family and friends are still raving about it. According to everyone we talk to, the band was "out of this world,"and "an incredibly tight band" We agree! The band and DJ stuck to exactly what we wanted and created the most amazing playlists ever. They were so receptive to our thoughts and concerns leading up to the wedding. The lead singers learned Adele's version of "Make You Feel My Love" for our first dance and it came out so beautiful that a couple guests actually cried. They have an unbelievable level of talent for a relatively young group of individuals.
I would highly recommend to anyone and everyone that they book the Boston Common Band for a wedding. They really made our party wonderful and are a great value.

I could not recommend Boston Common Band more highly. We knew we wanted a band that was hip and fresh and energetic, and they were all those things and more. People were dancing all night long, which is just what we wanted, and tons of compliments were paid to the band. Moreover, the band listened to all our requests and adjusted to some of our particulars without a problem. They even did a fantastic Hava Nagila. :) You cannot go wrong with Boston Common Band!

I cannot stress this enough - Boston Common Band was absolutely out-of-this-world FANTASTIC. They were above and beyond our expectations on a wedding band. I would hire them again in a heartbeat for any event in the future. Some comments to highlight: They were young, professional, REALLY talented musicians/singers who really got the guests of ALL ages involved and dancing. Everyone commented how they were the BEST wedding band they have EVER heard. I loved how the singers would give shout outs to our flower girl and ring bearer and even got my dad on stage singing and dancing! They accommodated the groom to play his guitar with them for one song. All the music that was played was present-day dancing music for all ages. The singers interacted with us and made our wedding even more memorable. They are SOOOO worth every penny spent. I was so happy with their performance - they are one of the BEST vendors we went with.

Folks - you will NOT be disappointed. BOOK THEM NOW. They are amazing!!!

The Boston Common band performed at my outdoor wedding, under a tent at my parents home, this past June. Aside from being gifted musicians, they were professional, responsive, and a complete pleasure to work with from researching, to booking, to the performance. At the reception, they interacted with the guests from beginning to end, had everyone dancing, from 3 years old to 70+; I can't count the number of compliments and raves that they received that night and after from family and friends. Additionally, they helped organize the reception festivities to ensure we stayed on track.

We researched quite a few bands, and hands down the Boston Common Band are a top-notch, talented group of passionate musicians that helped my wedding turn from a good time to an unforgettable celebration and a total party.

Boston Common Band was great - guests are still talking about them! They were exactly what we were looking for: they are young and fun, yet talented beyond their years. They sent us a lengthy questionnaire before the wedding to ensure they covered all of the things that we wanted. They helped us make our wedding a fun party!

The professionalism, energy and fun that this band (and DJ) brought to our wedding, was like nothing I had ever seen. Our guests were truly entertained and we heard nothing but praise.

The band is high energy and quality and really kept the party going from the minute they began, to the second they ended!

Boston Common made our wedding unforgettable not only for us, but for all our guests! Everyone kept asking us all night where we found them, and the truth was they were the first band we found and as soon as we listened to them we knew they were the ones! We loved the energy from the entire band and how they interacted with our guests. They played all our favorite songs at just the right times to get everyone involved. Thank you Boston Common!

This band was truly wonderful. The vocals and instruments were perfect. They worked nicely with one another and I couldn't believe how well they honored our requests. The party ran very smoothly, their MC/DJ was great. Everything seemed so fun, relaxing and easy with this band. I made some random requests through out the night, and they just went with it. The DJ couldn't have been better, I spent a lot of my wedding feeling thrilled with how awesome Boston Common is. The guests are still giving my husband and I compliments and asking how we found them. They are awesome!

Don't waste your money on an any old wedding band. Boston Common provided all the good things that you would expect from a regular wedding band, traditional music etc., but also showed up with a set list that kept the entire party dancing for the duration of the reception. No need for the us to make our rounds to visit with each table as everyone could be found on the dancefloor.
New music, even tunes that came out in the last month, were delivered with a very high level of quality. Simply put, after very careful review of our options, Boston Common was the clear choice with probably the best musical talent of any band in New England.

Boston Common Band was the perfect band for our wedding reception! We hired their pianist to play for our cocktail hour, and he did a wonderful job. From there, the DJ took over during the dinner, and he did a great job setting the mood for us. He even came up with a unique idea to do instead of having everybody clink glasses to get us to kiss. You'll have to ask them about that, as I won't give away their secret. After dinner, the band got to rocking! They were amazing, and had every one of our guests on the dance floor for the entire night! We didn't want the evening to end we were having so much fun, and we weren't the only ones. Ever since our wedding everybody has been telling us how much fun they had, and that was in no small part thanks to Boston Common Band and their excellent performance.
