This band is reasonable in price and completely fabulous. Guests are raving about them! I asked for “ no sleepy music” during dinner and we had people on the dance floor from the Salad, to the last Dance! Nothing short of amazing. You can tell they love what they do! We rescheduled 4 times because of Covid and Steve was a dream to deal with. Originally booked in 2019 for a 2020 wedding in April. From jethro Tull to gap band, Sinatra, the stones to Jlo and Dua lipa! They won’t disappoint I assure you. We added the sax player too! Equally fab! ❤️❤️ Will hire again!Brandy's reply:
Thanks for your kind words Michelle. It was a pleasure to be part of your special day. We really enjoyed performing for your wonderful family and friends! Best Wishes to you and Mike. -

Daniel A. Married on 09/05/2021Fantastic band!
Brandy Band is fantastic - highly professional sound, solid musicianship, and they know how to get people on the dance floor and keep them there! As a musician myself, I was very discerning when it came to picking a band for our wedding. I could tell by the videos that Brandy is top notch. Even so, they exceeded my expectations. -

James B. Married on 09/03/2021Brandy Band Review
Compared several live bands for my daughter's wedding reception. The brandy band stood out by their performance videos, range of music choices, and versatility of the musicians themselves. Conversation with Steve Camarda sealed the deal. His interpersonal style was warm, engaging, and informative. The band had the entire reception audience up dancing. They were professional and a very nice group of individuals to work with. It was nice to hear so many positive comments about the band from the reception audience which included several musicians. Brandy band is highly recommended. They will make your wedding reception a very memorable experience!Brandy's reply:
Thanks James for your kind words. It was a pleasure performing for your family and friends! Also, great job playing drums on that song with the band! I hope we get to see you at one of our public performances sometime! -

Patrice S. Married on 08/14/2021Fabulous Band!
Brandy was fabulous! An incredible performance! The Bride and Groom were thrilled and guests loved the band- danced all night! The musicians were all so talented. The lead guitarist/vocalist was incredible as was the lead vocalist. The band's playlist is so extensive! Really unbelievable. A very professional, talented band. Also, it was a pleasure doing business with the band manager, Steve. I am so appreciative of his help. He made everything easy. Thank you!!!! -

Dr. M. Married on 08/14/2021Brandy Band Review
Amazing job! I had a million comments on how great the band was. They played songs from many different genres and times. They learned our first dance song specifically for us, a talking heads song, which no other band was able to do. 100% recommend them.Brandy's reply:
Thanks so much Dr. M! It was a pleasure performing for all of your family and friends that attended your wedding! Best wishes to you both! -

Jessica B. Married on 02/05/2021Amazing Talented Band!
Brandy was absolutely amazing! They are incredibly talented and were able to play such a great playlist that had our guests dancing all night! Working with them was a breeze, they answered any and every question and were fabulous MC's the entire night long. Brandy Band made us truly feel special and we also knew our guests were taken care of and having so much fun dancing the night away. I am still getting compliments from our guests. I highly recommend booking Brandy- you will NOT be disappointed!! -
Jamie M. Married on 08/22/2020
They absolutely made the night
Because of Covid we had to cancel our wedding venue and do a backyard wedding. Steve and the brandy band made our night. They are insanely talented and obviously love playing music. They learned how to play our first dance song even though it wasn’t on their list and they knocked it out of the park. Steve the band leader has a lot of experience and kept the wedding moving along at a perfect pace. We have had neighbors wave us down and thank us for the live music. 10/10 would recommend :)Brandy's reply:
Thank you Jamie, it was a pleasure to be part of your special day. You have an amazing family and the band members and i wish you a lifetime of happiness. -

Michele M. Married on 12/28/2019Best experience we could have hoped for!!
My husband Steve and I got married on 12/28/19 at Bill Miller's Castle in Branford, CT. We knew we wanted Brandy Band at our wedding after hearing them live at a friend's wedding a couple years ago. After speaking with Steve, we felt so confident that we were making the right choice. (We had previously been on the fence between having a band vs. a DJ.) Steve told us they do DJ services as well, so they would also be able to play certain songs that we wanted the actual version of.
This band rocked the house!!! Every single song was spot on for the moment, and they do an amazing job of reading the crowd. We gave them a pretty long list of songs, and they picked all the right ones to play! Everyone was on the dance floor!! All our guests had a ball. Steve did a wonderful job of being our "MC" for the night, introducing our whole bridal party and coordinating the speeches and special dances. Brandy band truly made our wedding, and we are so grateful!! Highly highly recommend them!! -

Kelly N. Married on 09/14/2019Such a blast!!
Asking Brandy to play at our wedding was one of the best decisions we made. They are simply so much fun and so great to work with! They had our guests on their feet the second they started playing until the very last song. The music and dancing is one of the top compliments we receive from our friends and family! They took the time to learn two songs for us, which meant a lot to us, and they had a great set list. They came highly recommended to us and we would recommend them again and again! Thank you Steve and the rest of the band for making our reception such a blast!Brandy's reply:
Thanks Kelly for allowing us to take part in your special day! You have such a fun family! It was our pleasure to provide the music and bring the party to the dance floor! We hope to see you again at one of our public performances. Best Wishes for many years to come. -

Krista M. Married on 09/14/2019Brandy Band Keeps the Party Going
I did not meet Steve until he was about to introduce my new husband and I to our guests and I already couldn’t stop thanking him for going above and beyond what I had hoped for. From the start Steve was a pleasure to work with and Brandy delivered more than was promised on my wedding day. They put on an amazing performance and kept everyone dancing right up to the last song. I highly recommend Brandy to anyone planning a wedding in New England who wants main stream music played live for a reasonable price.
While searching for vendors, a manager of a band that I had not chosen due to their price recommended another band he worked with that was within my budget. When I told him that I was leaning towards hiring Brandy he quickly replied that if I liked Brandy I should go with them. Not only did this competitor have many positive things to say about Steve, but he guaranteed that I would be happy if I chose Brandy. And so I did.
Selecting a band without hearing them play is difficult; however Brandy made the process simple. Their website has plenty of sound clips and videos of them performing to show exactly how they sound. These videos are not altered to look like a music video or dubbed, they are real. Also it is clear from the amount of time the band has been together that the same members of the band from the videos would be the ones performing at my wedding. This was comforting because I read so many bad reviews of other vendors who hook you with a great lead vocalist at a wedding event and then trade them out for someone different at your wedding (even when brides specifically write that person into the contract). Sure enough, I recognized the whole band from the website when I first saw them.
The venue where my reception was held was complicated in that cocktail hour was outside, dinner was in a tent and dancing was inside. Most vendors would only offer one set up location, but Steve happily modified the contract to have Brandy provide speakers outside and have a piano and guitar play in the tent (due to noise restrictions of the neighborhood) before the full band performed on the dance floor. Not only was music clearly audible outdoors as we drove in but I noticed that there was a full band set up in the tent. I was floored. Steve was able to convince the site owner that the full band could play outdoors without exceeding the volume levels he was concerned about and Brandy was willing to set up all of their equipment twice. I was so happy that my first dance could be to a live performance rather than a prerecording as I had anticipated. Despite the full band needing to move after dinner the transition was seamless.
Once the party really started, on the dance floor, it never stopped. Most weddings have lulls where everyone sits down to take a breather, but this did not happen. Partially due to my family’s love for dancing, but mostly thanks to Brandy’s ability to keep everyone on their feet. Brandy also provided lighting which really set the mood. The amount of tears in my wedding gown at the end of the night was a testament to how much fun I had dancing. I literally slid across the dance floor on my knees during the last song wanting the night to continue.
After the wedding everyone was raving about the band. Even the site owner shared how much he enjoyed them and plans to recommend them to future couples. If you read this far you must be seriously considering Brandy for your event, in which case go book them, you won’t regret it. -

Priscilla L. Married on 10/27/20185 plus stars!
We had an amazing time at our wedding. So happy we choose to have Bandy play at our wedding. The dance floor was packed all night. We appreciated the time Steve, the band leader took to make sure everything went smoothly as planned. Really, could not have been happier with the amazing, live sound of Brandy! -

Heather Married on 09/15/2018Professionals who got everyone dancing!
Steve and the whole team at Brandy were nothing but wonderful to work with from beginning to end. We got married in September '18, and not only did they make sure everyone got on the dance floor, but they handed the ceremony music flawlessly and helped keep everything running on time. They talked through all of our anxieties, our schedule, even our complicated parental situations and made sure that everything was handled the day of our wedding. Steve even sent us a worksheet beforehand to make sure everything was in writing and ready to go. I'd recommend them to anyone -- truly helped make our wedding day an amazing experience. -
