    Hire this band!!

    The Boston Common Band was AMAZING! We hired them for both ceremony, cocktail hour and reception and the music was perfect. They had great suggestions for guitarist ceremony music which was really helpful and took some stress out of planning. They also are the "full package" meaning they come with all the mics, speakers and light show you need to have a ceremony everyone can hear (sometimes a struggle at other weddings I've been too....) and a dance party your guests will rave about! Hire this band, you'll have so much fun!

    Beyond Amazing and Worth Every Penny!

    The Boston Common Band was PHENOMENAL!!! To say they brought the party is an understatement…they made the party! All of our guests are still talking about how amazing they were and truly the best wedding band they have ever seen! It was more than a wedding band, it was a concert for our guests! We cannot thank you guys enough for delivering the most fun reception that we could have ever imagined; I didn’t want the party to end! Also want to send a big THANK YOU to DJ Shyne as well for providing excellent MC services and helping to organize the flow of our big day. Collectively, there aren’t enough words to describe the professionalism, talent, and pure energy that you get when hiring the Boston Common Band & ECF DJs. If you are truly looking to throw the party of a lifetime, this is your crew! THANK YOU ALL SO VERY MUCH, you were a dream come true!

    Get ready for the party of your lifetime!

    WOAH. We found Boston Common Band while attending a friend’s wedding and knew on the spot that we they had to be our wedding band. We actually picked our wedding date based on BCB’s availability! Having seen them perform in person previously we knew they were going to be great, but wow did they exceed our expectations. They had all of our guests dancing for hours. Literally. So many of our guests are still talking about our band and how they didn’t leave the dance floor once all evening.

    The energy that this group brings and maintains all night long is honestly impressive. They’re dancing, interacting with guests and truly trying to throw you the party of your life. Not only did they bring the fun, but the process of working with them leading up to the main event was amazing. They answered all of our incessant questions very promptly😊, accommodated all of our custom requests, and scheduled video calls with us in the few weeks leading up to the wedding to ensure they had all the details laid out.

    If you’re considering a band for your wedding, just stop looking now and book these guys.

    Look no further!

    In looking at music options for our wedding, we couldn’t decide whether to go band or DJ, and I stumbled across the Band/DJ combo offered through Boston Common. We had Soul Estate/DJ Manolo for our wedding, and it was one of the best choices we made! Music and sound were high up on our priority list, and the talent and energy from Soul Estate and DJ Manolo exceeded our expectations in every way. In addition to going above and beyond on the day-of, the planning process with these guys was a breeze from start to finish - they are truly rockstars in every sense of the word!

    the BEST wedding band!

    My best wedding planning advice would be hire Boston Common Band ASAP! My husband and I got married at the Popponesset Inn and Boston Common Band was the highlight of the reception. They kept the dance floor packed the entire night and all of our guests raved about how great the band was. No video will do them justice either - they are absolutely incredible live and worth the $!!

    danced all night long!

    We cannot say enough good things about Boston Common Band, as well as DJ T-Roc!!! Everyone raved about them the next day and people were on the dance floor all night long. They were all extremely responsive and easy to communicate with! They listened to all our suggestions and requests and were so helpful with any questions we have. Everyone had such a great time and it was the best decision to hire them as our band for our wedding!

    Book them ASAP

    The Boston Common Band and Josh (DJ J-Boogz) were outstanding, and even that might be an understatement. From the moment we booked, we had clear and timely communication with various band members and coordinators. Everyone was always on the same page and the planning interface was simple and easy to use. The video chat with the DJ about a month prior to the wedding was very helpful and made us feel 100% confident in their ability to coordinate an event and put on a show. Now for the music...the Boston Common Band is not your typical wedding band, they are insanely talented musicians and performers who bring a concert to your wedding. The number one comment we have received since the wedding has been how incredible the band was, and we could not agree more. This band is worth every penny and more, hire them ASAP. Thank you BCB, we love you!

    Amazing night!

    From the planning to the last song Boston Common was professional and certainly met all expectations. My Husband wanted a DJ and I was looking for a Band. Having the combo really made the night and was able to give us the variety we were hoping for. Prior to booking they ensured there was a time for us to see them play. They were the hit of our wedding and everyone has been talking about them!

    Worth every penny!

    Absolutely phenomenal. They kept our entire room dancing ALL night! No exaggeration. Josh was our DJ and he was great to work with. The days leading up he called and went over everything making us feel comfortable and the night of the wedding it was better than we could have imagined. They are expensive but worth every penny!

    Very talented, entertaining wedding band!

    The Boston Common Band is amazing! They were one of the first vendors we secured for our wedding in October. They catered so well to the diverse age ranges of our guests, performing a mix of Motown and Pop hits. The band members are extremely talented. They learned and performed a song for our first dance. We received so many compliments from our guests about how impressed they were with the band. The band manager was also very professional and very easy to coordinate with throughout every step of the planning process. Highly recommend!

    We got married last weekend at Turner Hill and Boston Commons Band was our band. I don't have enough good things to say about them. From start to finish, they made our night amazing. Everyone was on the dance floor and the song choices were great - something for everyone!! My dad's friends were actually talking about flying them to South Carolina to play for their daughter's wedding.

    DJ Josh Fields was also great to work with! He was fun, lively, and had careful attention to detail.

    Thanks, guys, for making our wedding one for the books!!

    Boston Common Entertainment Band + DJ Combos's reply:

    Anna & Ken -- Congrats again!! You guys were AMAZING to party with and thank you for your very kind words! Couldn't have asked for a more perfect day. :)

    PS -- Definitely hope to see you soon in South Carolina!!

    If I could give Boston Common 6 stars, I would! We absolutely loved our wedding, and Boston Common played a huge role. Guests are still raving about their performance weeks after the wedding. Through the planning process, we knew we were in good hands. We heard from the band leader, DJ, and manager regularly and they ensured that nothing fell through the cracks. We went into the day with a solid timeline, knowing that between DJ Rolling Rick and the band, the music at our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception would be exactly what we wanted. These guys exceeded all expectations!

    Park Street Band and DJ Nate were exactly what we were looking for when searching for our wedding band! We didn’t know a band/DJ combo existed; we took advantage of that package and we are so glad we did. DJ Nate was the perfect emcee for the evening. We don’t live in Boston anymore so we didn’t have a chance to hear them live before booking, but they absolutely exceeded our expectations! They are extremely thorough and easy to work with - we had a FaceTime session with DJ Nate where we just talked through the timeline together so we were all on the same page (he gave some great tips, too!). The online portal was simple to use and very useful if you want to request or deny certain songs. We chose to defer mainly to the band for song selection because we assumed that since they play every weekend that the band would know what songs to play and when to keep the party going! We assumed correctly; the energy was insane - I think everyone was on the dance floor the ENTIRE time. We also made a request towards the end of the wedding to have one of our guests sing Shout with the band and it capped off the night in the best way possible! Couldn’t recommend them more!

    Words cannot describe how amazing The Boston Common Band was from day one of talking to them up to our wedding day! They were our first vendor we booked once we had our wedding date confirmed because we knew that we wanted a band and were ecstatic that they were available. We first saw The Boston Common Band at our friends’ wedding and LOVED them! Jonathan and Emily were so professional and very responsive throughout the whole process. We even became groupies going to see them play off-season at The Lansdowne Pub in Boston and at The Thirsty Moose in Porstmouth, NH. For our wedding day, they played jazz during our cocktail hour and then delivered an outstanding performance for our reception. Another amazing part was having DJ J Boogz working with them and us to create a great playlist of songs when the band was on break. They worked so well with our wedding coordinator at The Westin Copley Place and the uplighting looked fantastic in the ballroom. Their passion and energy shines through to each member of the band and we loved how they interacted with our wedding guests and us. Everyone at our wedding has been complimenting The Boston Common Band since our wedding this past April and we would highly recommend them to anyone that is thinking of having a band for their wedding. Thank you to all the members of The Boston Common Band and DJ J Boogz for giving my husband and I an unforgettable wedding reception!

    I wish I could give Boston Common Band 10 stars. They were absolutely incredible at our wedding!!! My husband and I saw them play at a local bar and knew we wanted them for our wedding. Josh and Jonathan were so helpful leading up to the wedding, answering all our questions and concerns. They were so organized and prompt with communication which I appreciated! The day of the wedding, they came with SO MUCH energy and literally kept people up dancing all night long. After the wedding, every single person we talked to said it was the BEST band they had ever seen at a wedding and we couldn't agree more!!

    You only get married once. Don't mess this up. I'm sure there are other great bands/DJ's out there, but Boston Common Band was absolutely, undeniably the best decision we made in the wedding planning process. With almost zero input, BCB crafted the perfect set (and playlist) to keep our party going.

    What you can't find anywhere else is this group's ENERGY. They had the party JUMPING the entire night. I looked up during the second to last song and the old folks -- who I thought would've been in bed hours before -- were still kicking it right next to the wedding party. Nails did. Hair did. Everything did. It was a night my husband and I will never forget, and our guest will never forget either! Immediately after, several months after, years and year after--we will continue talking about Boston Common's Band Performance.

    Last thing: we also had the band play during our ceremony and cocktail hour....and every performance outdid the last. It was flawless. I couldn't pick a favorite part because it was all done beyond our requests. They may be pricey, all good bands are, but it's worth every last penny. I promise!

    Boston Common Band played for our New Year's Eve wedding and did an INCREDIBLE job. They had almost everybody dancing the entire night and we're still hearing guests rave about the music and the band's energy. Couldn't recommend Jonathan and the entire Boston Common Band enough. A must-hire band in Boston.

    I wish I had more then 5 stars to say how amazing Boston Common was. They ABSOLUTELY KILLED IT playing at our wedding! One of the most popular pieces of feedback we've heard from our wedding, (including the hotel staff) was not only how professional Boston Common is, but how blown away everyone was with their set. From the beginning of our planning we were adamant a live band makes a party, and they certainly made ours! I remember one part of the night looking around to notice most of the wedding was on the dance floor, which is always a sign of a successful event in our book. I would hire Boston Common again in a heartbeat - they were an integral part of making our wedding such a success!

    Soul Estate Band was everything we could've hoped for and then some. They were amazing and played the crowd so well - I can't tell you how many of our guests are still raving about the performance. They were incredibly professional and responsive throughout the entire process and I can't imagine our wedding without them!

    CANNOT RATE. FIVE STARS IS NOT ENOUGH. BETTER THAN OUTSTANDING. MAKES ALL OTHER BANDS LOOK LIKE THEY'RE PLAYING KARAOKE. HIGHLY PROFESSIONAL BEFORE, DURING AND AFTER THE WEDDING. YOU BEGIN BY FEEDING OFF THEIR ENERGY AND THEY THEN FEED OFF YOURS. BRING THE RIGHT SHOES BECAUSE YOU WILL NEVER SIT DOWN. THEY JUST PLAYED MY DAUGHTER'S WEDDING. CANNOT STOP RAVING ABOUT THEM.

    Do not look anywhere else for your perfect wedding band. Boston Common Band gave us the best experience any bride and groom could ask for. From setting me up with a string quartet (who btw played Beyoncé for my entrance) to gorgeous uplighting and then THE BAND! OMG THE BAND! The party was something no one will ever forget BOOK THEM THATS IT!

    The Boston Common Band made our wedding absolutely incredible! From first encounters to planning process to the night of, this band did an exceptional job. Everyone at the wedding was raving about the music. If you are considering a band/DJ, look no further than the Boston Common Band!

    Fantastic Performance,,, felt like a concert!

    I cannot say enough great things about Boston Common Band. My husband and I got married in August of 2017 and this band/DJ combo was fantastic!! Jonathan, DJ Rolling Rick and the entire band were professional and extremely talented. From the planning process to the last song of the night, Boston Common Band did not disappoint. Our dance floor was packed the entire night! Our guests are still raving about our band over a year after our wedding! Don’t look any further, book Boston Common Band now!

    There are not enough good things to say about Boston Common Band. From the moment we first reached out communication was prompt and pleasant. Once we had our contract locked in Jonathan took the lead and set us up with an online portal to upload must play, try to play and do not play lists. They prepare a timeline, online form to fill out with all the little things that go on at a wedding that you would want music for, and they love what they do! Their library of songs reached every generation. They are on top of their stuff from start to finish and make sure you don't forget anything! The day of the wedding, they rocked the house. Our guests tell us all the time they loved the band the most and we were on the dance floor ourselves most of the night dancing away! They came off stage into the crowd with us and really made us feel like rockstars :) Hands down, they are the best decision we could have ever made when hiring a band for our wedding!!!
