If you have the ability to book these guys for your party, you will not be disappointed. We have had the privilege of being at their concerts at charity events, two years in a row. They know what they are doing and EVERYBODY EVERYBODY DANCED AND LOVED THEM!!! Hoping for another opportunity to see them again soon!!!

We hired the Carmine Band for our June wedding at Ocean Gateway. We asked Carmine to help with our ceremony, as well as play during the cocktail hour and reception. We could have never pulled off the ceremony without the help of Carmine and the band. They took care of all of the music and mics and were right on cue. Having a few members of the band play during the cocktail hour made it feel so fancy and fun! Of course, they played great music for the reception that we and our guests danced the night away to.

Carmine and his band are willing learn a few songs at your request. We picked Mango Tree by Zac Brown Band for our first dance and they nailed it. Carmine and his band are thoughtful, kind and personable and we are so grateful for all of their help. We highly recommend considering Carmine Band for your wedding!

Carmine was amazing. He really helped run the whole night and worked with the venue for making things run smoothly even though he had never been there before. He introduced speaches, got out in the crowd and even played rquests we thought might be too "odd" for most bands.

Our processional was the song "Concerning Hobbits" from the Lord of the Rings movie and it was beautifully played on the keyboard in the greenhouse we were married in. He also was happy to play the "Cantina Song" from Star Wars for our recessional which other bands might have scoffed at. He even had one of the band members bring an alto sax for this special request of ours.

After that they played at cocktail hour and the reception with classic party and wedding music that everyone enjoyed. "The Best Thing" by Ray LaMontagne was our first dance and it was PERFECT with the horn section. They really controlled their sound and volume well and we didn't feel like we were being blasted out by the music like we have felt at other weddings we've attended even though it was a full 8 piece band.

I can not sing their praises enough. You should hire The Carmine Band!

We first saw the Carmine Band at their annual show at Fire and Ice in Kennebunkport. They put on a great show several years in a row and we knew we needed to book them for our wedding. Carmine was super responsive and easy to work with. He and his band were able to learn many songs on our setlist and already had a wide catalog of songs that they were able to play to keep all of our wedding guests dancing all night long! Carmine was even nice enough to come and play for our wedding shower about a year before the big event and he was great there too! I could not imagine our wedding day without the Carmine Band, they were instrumental in making this such a memorable and special event. If you are thinking about booking this band, don't hesitate, just do it! You will not be disappointed. Amazing music from 50s to now!

The Carmine Band brought so much energy to our day. EVERYONE was on the dance floor and stayed on it the entire night. We had a few unique requests they were happy to accommodate. We felt so lucky to work with Carmine and can’t recommend this band enough!

They were awesome. Super responsive, got the people going, and were able to play a ton of our favorites. You don't need another band like these folks. People asked us who they were, which is exactly what you want! v

The Carmine Band was hands-down the best wedding band I've ever seen. They were a joy to work with and were willing to learn any song we asked, including the Schitt's Creek version of Whitney Huston's classic "The Best" for our first dance. This band is the only way to go

Carmine and his awesome 8 piece band were the hit of our wedding! From our first phone call to week of details, Carmine was a real pleasure to work with. His band did a wonderful job blending fun wedding dance songs with our requests and WOW the lead female vocalist was incredible. Believe all the wonderful reviews and book Carmine for your wedding! We highly recommend taking advantage of his ceremony, cocktail hour, reception package to make everything nice and easy.

Carmine couldn't have been easier to work with or provided a better experience for our wedding guests. Our needs were somewhat unusual - in the middle of a Maine winter during a pandemic, he had to play outside, under some space heaters. And he did so without objection.

Would have no reservation recommending him. Can't go wrong with Carmine

The Carmine Band was awesome at our wedding! We wanted to have a dance party, and Carmine and his band definitely brought the party, with music everyone loved. Over a year later, our guests are still talking about how much fun they had with the band. Carmine also have us great ideas to involve everyone in special moments, which helped to make our day so great. Highly recommended, amazing musicians! Thank you, Carmine Band!
