These guys are so fun and added so much to my wedding. I have to cop to a little bit of hesitation in signing with them based on the website. My husband and I do not fall in the typical demographic for first time bride and grooms, we are both in our 40s, and I was concerned that the band would not be able to read the room. I could not have been more wrong. In fact, I don't see how we could have possibly done better than Boston Common. They would be amazing for any age group, their repertoire is that expansive.

These guys (and girl) are not only great musicians and supremely talented, but they can dance! At one point, the dance floor was a little sparse, so a couple of the members of the band/dj team got out and totally got down to try to rile up the audience to get on the dance floor. They didn't just do their job, they went over and beyond.

As far as organization and flexibility, they were great. Jonathan and Jeff (DJ Shyne) were both great to work with and it is completely evident they know how to do this gig better than anyone.

For those brides who are looking for a band who doesn't sound like a wedding band, these are your guys (and girl). They are a level above.

BCB - Thank you so much for the amazing job your band did at our company holiday party! You and DJ Shyne were very flexible and easy to work with. Being able to incorporate the band, DJ & uplighting was awesome and looked so professional and perfect! We highly recommend this band!

What else is there to say other than Boston Common Band was AMAZING. My fiance and I went and listened to several bands prior to booking one for our wedding. After their first note, we knew we wanted Boston Common Band to play for us. Beyond the band, they provide a DJ for breaks and a really cool light system. Value wise, there is no comparison. Book them now - it'll be the best decision you make for your wedding!

We used the Boston Common Band for our wedding and I am trying to put the words together on how absolutely amazing this group is! Their Band and DJ package was the perfect choice for my wedding.

Planning our reception with the DJ was simple, fun, and really settled my nerves! I knew he had control of my event weeks before our big day! His announcements were perfect, and let me say that some of the names in my bridal party are fairly difficult to pronounce.

The band performance was unbelievable!! The songs they played kept people dancing all night! We didn't need to request a single song, they knew exactly what my guests wanted to hear to keep them going.

We also booked our up lighting with them, and the venue was beautiful beyond my imagination! The stage setup, lights and overall neatness of the band made my reception pictures look amazing! I would highly recommend this Band/DJ package to anyone! They are exceptional musicians, and true professionals. I'm so happy we booked them!

We had Boston Common Band perform at our wedding this past September. Let me tell you, EVERYONE was on the dance floor from the moment they started playing! They were so good that my family and friends even had them perform TWO encores!

Also, since we're from NYC, they have an all online based planning system that made it super-easy for us to coordinate all of the events with their DJ. As I'm sure all of you couples know, planning all the details can be overwhelming, but with these guys, it made everything SO SO simple. Really, there's nothing more we could have asked for from Boston Common Band. I'd give them 6 stars if it were possible!!

the Boston Common Band helped make our entire wedding magical! Everything that they did the entire evening was spot on, and nearly all of our guests that we spoke to afterwards could not stop raving about how much fun they had at our wedding, dancing and singing along all night - and we have the pictures to prove it!
Choosing vendors can be a hard thing to do, but its a pretty easy choice with these guys. From the first time we contacted them they were responsive, professional, and accommodating to all of our requests. They will learn how to play songs that you request, so your wedding reception truly feels like yours and not a standard playlist. The band also comes with a DJ package, so there is never any down time from beginning to end - and they will work with you to ensure that all of your requests are honored as much as possible (including our k-pop music!) They truly bring the party, including their own sound system, stage lighting, and set-up crew who aren't afraid to show off some dance moves!
The best part of all is that they HAVE FUN! They are enjoying the night as much as all your guests, and the energy and enthusiasm that they bring really help get the crowd into it and make the night really special. They are very versatile as well, so its easy to understand why everyone has so much fun - there is something for everyone.

We chose Boston Common to play our wedding in August of last year. They were, quite simply, AWESOME!! I can't even count the number of friends that kept saying to us that they were the best wedding band they had ever heard! Even our photographers mentioned how great they were, and I'm sure they've heard many many other bands before.

The best part about them is the fact that they are all phenomenal musicians that you can tell take pride in what they do. I really appreciated the fact that they took the time to meet with us and make sure that their style and playlist lined up with our ideas for the evening.

My husband and I already thinking of ways to have another party so we can hire them again! We fully recommend Boston Common and are so glad we had them perform at our wedding!

Boston Common Band was the absolute highlight of our wedding. They kept the dance floor going all night long and we couldn’t have asked for anything better. Even a month after our wedding, our friends and family are still talking about how great they were. When the band took its breaks, they had DJ Matty G step in. To be honest, we were a bit worried about Matty because he didn’t have any reviews but he did a great job keeping the party going and was exactly what we were looking for. One additional thing to note is that the band only allows for 3 song requests which get taken up by the first dance and parent dances(even if they are traditional wedding type songs). This was not an issue for us at all as the band obviously knew what they were doing and every song they played was great. We would strongly recommend Boston Common Band to any couple looking to have a blast at their reception. Thank you, Christine and Jay

I don't even know where to start. I cannot say enough AMAZING things about this band. They are by far thee best wedding band I have ever seen. They are not only incredible musicians, but put on quite a show when on the stage! Each member has such a unique personality they bring to the overall performance, and several times throughout the night the band got down on the dance floor to entertain and teach different dances. Not to mention the DJ that comes with it! It truly is the best of both worlds... My husband wanted a DJ and I wanted a band so this was the PERFECT compromise. I HIGHLY recommend them, they sound EXACTLY like the artists who actually sing the songs and the musicians are incredibly talented. Hire them, it's the best decision you can make to ensure that your wedding is a blast!

"Best of Boston" is an understatement! The BCB was one of the best decisions my husband and I made during our planning process. From the beginning, they were very professional and absolutely wonderful to work with. The wedding itself was a blast and my guest are still raving about them! All I keep hearing is "your wedding was amazing", and I can honestly say that a lot of it had to do with the BCB. They are more than musicians - they are entertainers! Our wedding was like a live concert and everyone had front row! I look forward to recommending them for year's to come, and I feel lucky to have had them part of our big day!

Each member of the band, the manager, and the DJ they brought with them were FANTASTIC - they read the crowd, played a great mix of new hits and classic favorites and kept the guests on their feet. Even after they performed their requested encore song, everyone kept chanting 'one more song' - we couldnt get enough of them! The entertainment can really make or break and event, and if youre looking for a talented, professional, kick-ass band, Boston Common is for you!!

We just had our outdoor wedding a couple of weeks ago and had Boston Common Band at our event. They were AMAZING! I honestly cannot say enough about them. From the minute I contracted with them to play at my wedding, they were nothing but professional and easy to work with. They called me/emailed me plenty of times before the wedding just to "check in" with me. They were quick to respond to any questions that I had prior to the event. Right before the big day they spent a long time giving me suggestions on song choices..which were all perfect by the way! The band even learned to play the songs for my first dance and the dance with my father!
And during the wedding, they did not disappoint! Sometimes we couldn't tell if it was the Band signing or the actual song. Other songs they put their own great spin on it. People from the wedding are still coming up to me and asking "who was that great band" and that "the band made the wedding!". I couldn't agree with them more. The dancefloor was packed from dinner until the last dance.
So to any bride to be out there that is wishing for the perfect band to add fun, excitement and great music to their night, book The Boston Common Band. It will be the best decision you ever made.
Wedding date- August 13, 2011

BOSTON COMMON BAND IS THE BEST BAND EVER! The band had everyone up and dancing...even people who I thought for sure would be stuck to their seats all night. We continually heard comments from guests throughout the night, "this is the best wedding band I have ever heard", "i have never had so much fun dancing", " all the musicians are really talented." We decided to add in two horns (trumpet and sax), and wow...absolutely amazing! Even our photographer commented that they were one of the best bands he has ever heard (and I can only imagine how many wedding bands he hears). Bottom line - you can't go wrong with Boston Common Band, they will not disappoint!

The Boston Common Band was an INCREDIBLE wedding band! Prior to the big day, the were extremely professional and attentive to work with, and they had everyone dancing from start to finish during the reception. I had so many people come up to me after the wedding to let me know this was the BEST wedding band they had ever heard. Boston Common Band exceed our expectations, and every bride/groom should feel confident this band can carry the party from start until finish.

We can’t say enough about this band!! They were reasonably priced, included a DJ (DJ Josh Boogz was awesome!), and also provided cocktail hour music. We had some fun/creative requests, and they were so accommodating. The dance floor was packed all night, and our guests are still raving about them! You cannot go wrong with Boston Common at your wedding!

Boston Common Band rocked! Not only were they easy to get in contact with, they were so flexible with song choices, and just a lot of fun.
