We had Rare Form play our wedding a month ago in NH and they were awesome all around! We had the whole 8-piece including the horn section - highly recommend if it's within your budget! The price you pay is totally reasonable considering you are paying 8 musicians. Booking them and communicating the details of what we wanted was easy through their manager Donna - she was super nice, helpful with answering questions, and always responsive to my emails. The band truly listened to everything we said we wanted and delivered flawlessly! The keyboard player Jon was able to learn a few very specific songs (not your typical ones) for our ceremony and kept the music going seamlessly when we had a little hiccup at the end of the aisle where my dress strap popped off and my MOH had to spend 20 long stressful seconds getting it snapped back on - at least we weren't standing there in awkward silence haha! The whole 8 piece band learned our first dance song that also wasn't on their list of songs they typically play. They played a hora for us too, and had multiple versions of it to choose from. I was a huge fan of the setlist they put together. We had told them we generally liked the older stuff (70s-90s) but otherwise it was up to them and they listened. While they played some classic "wedding" songs, it wasn't ALL those. They picked many that everyone still knew and loved but it wasn't a whole setlist of overplayed songs (which was a good thing in my opinion!!). They also threw in some hits that millennials would know and like which was half our crowd. I only requested one specific song ("We Are Family") that my family loves because my mom is one of 6 sisters, and told them to play it early in the night because some of my aunts don't usually stay too late at weddings. They listened and did just that! My mom and aunts were happy to be able to dance to it one more time at the last family wedding for awhile. Our dance floor was full the entire time and we had a lot of guests mention how good the band was to us. They had a female lead singer with them who wasn't the one they had on their website but she had a phenomenal voice! I seriously appreciate the band listening to everything we wanted because I know not all wedding music providers do this - I've heard many stories of DJs playing songs on the "do not play list" and/or going rogue with random songs no one knows. Not Rare Form! Besides, why get a DJ and listen to the songs played on recording when you can do that any day, and when you can have a full live band play just for you!? If you're on the fence about a wedding band, do it! And look no further than this one - I have zero complaints or regrets about them playing our wedding and are so happy we booked them!

We had the opportunity to see Rare Form play at Princeton Station. They are an an exceptional band and would make any wedding reception a smash. They play a wide range of music that will please a lot of people. They are highly talented musicians (the female singer is nominated for a Grammy this year) and they interact really well with the crowd. And, they take requests. I wish that there was a band like this available for my wedding!

Incredible experience! They get everyone up and dancing having a great time! Highly recommend.

I saw them recently at a wedding at the Danversport Yacht Club. Don’t stop me now brought down the house! The singers are amazing as is the rest of the band!

You know it’s going to be a fun night when the band starts playing and the beat is so good, people get up and dance! Great mix of music and very accommodating. Fun, talented, friendly and energetic!

We had a large group of people follow Jon Abrams from church to see him perform with his band. People were up and dancing and cheering throughout the evening. They took requests and left the crowd in awe.

Amazing! Would definitely recommend for your next event!

The best band out there! They played all sorts of music that everyone could dance to

From the first note to the last, the dance floor was full. The energy was contagious and authentic. The playlist was everything that we pictured for our perfect night. 20/10 recommend Rare Form.

I can’t get over the versatility, energy, organization and talent that is Rare Form. We combed through so many bands for our July 2022 wedding and NO ONE compared to Rare Form. From Pink songs to Frank Sinatra, they can do it all and had everyone out on the dance floor! Our venue also said that they’ve never seen such incredible preparation from a band before. A+ all around. You’ll be so happy you chose them!
