Our guests are still raving about Search Party

Search Party was incredible!!! They had our guests up dancing and singing along the entire night! Almost a month later and our guests are still reaching out to say how much they loved our band!! Of all the positive feedback we received from our wedding, Search Party by far was the most raved about!!!
They have a fantastic and diverse playlist to begin with but they even learned the song for our first dance a few months before the wedding, which is a moment we will never forget!
Not only is the band extremely talented, but leading up to the wedding Charlie was in constant communication with us. He listened to what we wanted and had great suggestions for the floor plan, timeline and playlist to make sure we had a night we will never forget! Hiring Search Party was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding!!

Unbelievable!!!

Search Party blew us and our wedding guests away with their incredible vocalists, musicians, and energy. They had people dancing during dinner! From the get go, Charlie was great to communicate with. He was attentive, understanding, learned our first dance song, and overall the kindest person. Guests still cannot stop raving about this band!! Amazing

Absolute Best!

They played at my cousin's wedding (I couldn't attend) and all of my family raved about them. We were lucky that they were available for our wedding the following summer and they did not disappoint! Hands down one of the best parts of the reception! They have everything, energy, talent, professionalism, it was great!

Best part of our wedding and great to work with

Search Party Boston helped make our wedding the best day of our lives, from start to finish. Charlie worked closely with my now husband on musical collaboration, allowing the groom, groomsmen, and bridesmaids to be involved in various songs and elements through the ceremony and reception. The band brought incredible energy and excitement, getting my 91 year old grandfather up on the dance floor for much of the night (and nearly all of our guests dancing!) We looked at a lot of bands and were also really happy with Search Party's song list, as well as their ability to play special songs for us (our first dance song as well as father/daughter dance were somewhat obscure song choices). Cannot say enough great things about the band, you won't regret choosing them!

Get this band!

Get this band for your wedding!!! I can't explain how many compliments we received for Search Party! We have already recommended them to others booking their wedding. One of our guests had them at BOTH his son's weddings! They are very professional and so easy to get in touch with. They knew what they were doing. Questions I thought would be difficult were so easy for them to help with. They KILLED My Heart Will Go On! We had them for our wedding, our reception, and cocktail hour. The acoustics were amazing. There was never a time of our wedding that the dance floor was not full. They brought the best energy and fun to our wedding. 10/10!! :)

Lights out amazing!!

Your search for the perfect wedding band ends with Search Party! Charlie made planning our event a breeze. He was always available to answer a question, or have a quick check in. Everyone, including myself and my now husband, were SO IMPRESSED with the band’s talent and vocals. The dance floor was packed all night long! I would give them 14/10 stars!!

Amazing! Excellent!

Absolutely amazing! From dinner to end of the night dancing they were excellent. People could barely stay seated while we were eating. Everyone just wanted to dance! The only thing you need to worry about is if they are available for your date! 10/10

1000/10 Band!

Search Party was amazing and I cannot recommend them enough as a wedding band. They are such amazing entertainers, so talented and they truly made our wedding unforgettable. They learned songs to play at our wedding, and kept all our guests dancing all night long. They were FUN. Charlie was so responsive and kind, and made me feel like a friend. I was just blown away by them. They were an incredible wedding band with so much energy and talent. I dream of seeing them perform again someday! They’re the best!!! I highly recommend- amazing people!!!

Amazing band

Search party was one of the best decisions we made for the wedding! They were so flexible and so willing to work with any crazy request! We absolutely loved everything they played, they sounded amazing! Recent to watch them play a few times at Encore and I am so excited to see them again! We got so many compliments on the band, even to this day people can’t stop raving about them. One of our friend even asked to hire them for their wedding after hearing them! Highly highly recommend!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
