    Amazing wedding band!

    Horizon and the Horns were the absolute star of our wedding. I have received countless compliments on the quality of the band, from their music choice to Kelly joining us on the dance floor (an amazing touch). Ray was my band teacher in high school, so he allowed me to join the band to play a song on the piano and to sing a song with Kelly, which was an amazing surprise for my wedding guests. I cannot amp up this band enough, such a fun time!

    Fantastic!

    Horizon and the Horns were the hit of our wedding :) Ray's communication with us throughout the entire planning process and the day-of were prompt, efficient, and so helpful, and their performance was absolutely top-notch. We'd recommend them to anyone looking for an incredible live band, and got nothing but rave reviews from all of our guests. To Horizon and the Horns, thank you so much for making our wedding a phenomenal evening!

    So Fun! Highly Recommend - Great to work with!

    Definitely check out this band! Kelly was amazing to work with - my now husband and I had very little wedding experience when trying to pull our big day together and she was a huge help in offering suggestions! The band was so much fun - we had everyone out on the dance floor the whole night - and our guests were all asking us for their information afterwards!

    Horizon & The Horns's reply:

    Thank you so much for the kind words, Margo! We had a blast working with you and wish you all the best!! Hope to see you again soon!

    The best!

    Look no further! Horizon and the Horns is THE BEST. We booked the band in 2018 for our 2020 wedding based on rave reviews we got from family friends. Kelly was so helpful through the booking process, answering all of our questions and recommending the six or seven-piece band based on our venue. We chose the six-piece venue. The COVID-19 lockdown went into effect ten weeks prior to our wedding. Kelly was so helpful when it came to postponing our wedding and made it all easy during such a stressful and sad time. Kelly always responded to my emails quickly and was eager to meet if needed. As it got closer to our 2021 wedding, Kelly ensured that she had every detail correct and we were ready to go including pronouncing everyone's names correctly. Finally, the day came and the band was amazing!!!! The dance floor was packed all night. Guests even started dancing during dinner because the music was too good to wait. Horizon and the Horns made our day absolutely perfect. Seriously, don't hire anyone else.

    Absolutely excellent!

    We are so happy with our choice to hire Horizon and the Horns for our wedding day! Everyone loved the music and spent almost the entire reception on the dance floor. Ray and Kelly were so helpful throughout the planning process and helped everything run smoothly day of. We hope to get a chance to party with them again!

    Absolutely rocked our wedding!

    We got the chance to meet with Kelly before the wedding and right from the start we knew we were in good hands. She is professional, outgoing, and really listened to the thoughts we had in mind for music. We went back and forth on what size band we want and ultimately we went for the full 7 piece and think the extra piece really added a lot.

    On our wedding day the whole band was absolutely great. We had guitar and piano at our ceremony and they were kind enough to learn one of our processional songs and give honest advice about a piece that they didn’t think would work so well, which we really appreciated, they are the professionals after all!

    At our reception they knocked it out of the park!! They learned our first dance song and played it BETTER than the original. They got the most rave reviews from our guests, everyone wanted to know about them and how we had found them. The band kept the energy up and Kelly did a perfect job as emcee keeping the event flowing smoothly. The only disappointment of the night is when they had to pack up and leave!

    I could not recommend that you book Horizon and the Horns enough! Just go do it now and thank yourself later as you watch all your guests have a fantastic time.

    Horizon & The Horns's reply:

    WOW, thank you so much Erica, this means the world to us. I'd give your wedding 5 stars, we had so much fun! Can't wait to see pictures!! Best wishes to you and Dan!

    We had the BEST wedding all thanks to Horizon & the Horns!! A few months before the wedding, we made a special request for our first song to be a cover of an EDM song that me and my [now husband] both loved, and it was so perfect and so special. Once the dancing started, man, it didn't stop! There was not one moment during the reception when the dance floor was empty. At one point, the horns were playing on the dance floor, and I might have been handed (or grabbed) the microphone! It was the best reception and the best night. We also used their uplighting instead of hiring a separate vendor, and it was perfect!! Thank you Horizon & the Horns!!!

    Words can not adequately describe how spectacular and special Horizon and the Horns made our night. They nailed everything, from the music requests for the ceremony to ending the night on "Shout". They were perfect. So many people have asked us for the band name. They had everyone dancing all night, including the staff at the venue. Ray is extremely kind and easy to work with. I can honestly say that our wedding would not have been nearly as fun without them.

    I hired Horizon and the Horns to do my wedding because I knew they would have great quality since I knew the keyboardist and I was certainly not wrong! Everyone of my guests loved them! They kept all of my guests on their feet the whole night! I would not have the music any other way! If you are thinking about getting them do it, you will not regret it!

    I could go on forever about how grateful I am that we had Horizon & the Horns play our wedding on 8/11/17. Being a local bride, friends and family immediately knew to expect an amazing time when they heard Horizon would be playing our wedding, but it was so fun to see how blown away our out of town guests were by Horizon's talents. They really kept the party going all night long! Kelly and Ray and company are amazing and the time they took to help make several moments of our wedding into once in a lifetime moments will never be forgotten. Our wedding ended on a beach dance floor and the Horizon sang our last song next to us on the dance floor on acoustic guitar. I am still in awe of the extra mile they took to make our wedding amazing. I feel so honored they were apart of our special day.

    Horizon and the Horns (the entire ensemble) played at our wedding reception at Colonial Hall, Salem MA, in July of 2014. We checked our desired wedding date with the band before we had chosen a venue, or any vendors, because we had heard them before and we KNEW we had to have them! Since our wedding reception was more of an unstructured party with a buffet dinner and no seating arrangements, Ray worked with us to choose the music—we very specifically wanted up-tempo Soul and Motown, without the typical wedding dances (Chicken Dance, Daddy’s Little Girl, etc). We were not doing the usual dances with the wedding party, no garter, no cutting of the cake, etc. Ray listened to us, and really delivered—our guests LOVED the music, and danced throughout our entire party, which is exactly what we wanted! Ray also let us choose the programmed ‘break’ music (when the band took their break) and he was extremely accommodating and agreeable throughout the whole planning process. At the event, every member of the band was a real pro! It is to their credit that many of our friends stayed until the very end, and only stopped dancing when the party was over. So many of our friends—even now, years later!—ask us who the fantastic band was. Horizon and the Horns was an integral part of the success of our night! Thank you, Ray!

    We received many compliments after our daughter's wedding about the band. The dance floor was always hopping. They played a great mix of music and Kelly is an awesome lead singer and MC. Reasonable priced and easy to work with. Love Horizon and the Horns!

    Thank you Virginia for the lovely note! We are so thrilled you enjoyed the music and are hearing great review. We hope to see you again soon!
    Best,

    “Your band was amazing!” is one of the most frequent comments I have heard from friends and family since our wedding on July 1, 2017. And I have to agree – we were thrilled with Horizon & the Horns! We went with the full 7-piece band and they were all awesome! Amazing variety of music (check out a sampling from their song list on their website - http://www.horizonandthehorns.com/song-list.html), they can do all the classics, current pop music, swing, jazz, rock. Since the wedding, two separate friends who are planning their own weddings in different states have said they are now considering a band instead of a DJ – if they can find someone like Horizon! With a little notice, they will also learn songs – our first dance was a slowed down version of Katy Perry’s Firework (sentimental reasons ha) and they were able to do that arrangement no problem. The dance floor was packed all night and the band also appears to be having a great time with you!
    Beyond the music, working with Ray Novack is the best! He’s very responsive and clearly knows what he’s doing when it comes to weddings – he thinks of every detail, including many that I would have missed myself! The day-of his daughter Kelly, vocalist and more, does an awesome job of “MC-ing” the reception – every name pronounced perfectly and aware of everything going on. I realized mid-way through the dance party that I wanted a photo on the dance floor of all my college friends (husband and I are college sweethearts) – I went up to Ray, while he was on keyboard, and asked if he could work that in. He got the message to Kelly, she announced the photo, the group gathered and then we were back to dancing – it was all so seamless!
    Awesome music, awesome energy – thank you Horizon & the Horns!
    Update: A friend at the wedding just booked Horizon & the Horns for her own wedding!

    Thank you so much L & D! We had so much fun playing for you, it was a beautiful evening. Thanks for sharing it with us!

    I am SO glad we had Horizon and the Horns at our wedding. They were incredible! We had the jazz trio play for cocktail hour and the 7-piece band for our reception. Throughout the planning process, Kelly was great to work with. She was extremely responsive and very accommodating to our requests. I was a little nervous because I hadn't seen Horizon perform and the dance floor and music was very important to us, and we were SO happy with our band choice. They played all great music and kept everyone on the dance floor all night. They did a great job playing new and old music so all guests were up and dancing, and they had fun props and came out onto the dance floor to get everyone engaged.

    We ended up going with them after going to a family wedding that they played. Seriously, they can read a crowd! People were dancing before the salads. They slayed our first dance and parents dances, and we're super easy to work with. Our event coordinator couldn't say enough about them.

    Seriously,
    Horizon and the Horns are professional, highly entertaining and inclusive. They can reach every generation and genre for any type of occasion. They are unbelievable at playing to and with a crowd. The guests were all dancing before dinner started! They play with passion but most importantly, make sure they and everyone aroUne them is having FUN.
    The guests didn't want an encore, they wanted THREE ENCORES.
    We also hired Ray, the band leader to play piano for our ceremony. He is so talented his range of available songs was remarkable. Very flexible and open to anything and everything we wanted to do.
    Thank you H and H, you guys rock!

    Do yourself and all of your wedding guests a favor: Stop looking at other options and book Horizon & The Horns right now! 3 months after our wedding, our family and friends are still raving about how awesome these guys were. Kelly & Ray provided the music for our ceremony, and were excellent. The full band played our first dance live, which was absolutely fantastic. And once the party got started, they kept our guests dancing the entire night! We barely had time to say hi to everyone because the dance floor was so packed! We couldn't have been any happier on the night, and Kelly was a complete pleasure to work with from start to finish. We completely and enthusiastically recommend Horizon & The Horns!

    We cannot say enough good things about these musicians! True professionals! Every time we hear them we leave with the biggest smiles on our faces. Kelly'€™s confidence and charisma makes her a perfect lead singer for Horizon & the Horns. They always play the top, trending hits, as well as our old favorites which bring back the high school memories! A tremendous collection of sensational talent makes you want to jump up and dance all night long! Five stars from us!

    Absolutely one of the best wedding bands in New England!! Top notch musicians, fantastic horn section, amazing song list from classic hits of the 60's and 70's to the latest dance hits. Very few bands can match what Ray Novack and Horizon deliver. They will be our first call when we need another group for our next daughter's wedding!

    On a scale of 1-10, we give them a 20! From the moment our guests started to arrive, to our first dance, to the last song of the evening, they had the perfect music for every moment. Plus they do an awesome job interacting with everyone. 2 weeks later our guests are still raving! If you're looking for the perfect band with a vast selection, look no further, horizon is the band for you.

    Horizon & The Horns has played at two family weddings. We knew from the start that they would do a wonderful job and they did! The wide variety of music accommodated all ages. Special requests were no problem. Their charisma and high energy was contagious. Both receptions were most memorable in part because of the band. Ray Novack is a great MC and the quality of the music is outstanding. We highly recommend the band for any occasion.

    If you are looking for a wedding reception to remember, where everyone has fun celebrating your big day with you, then I suggest that you hire Horizon & the Horns.
    Words cannot express how absolutely grateful we feel to have had the privilege to have Horizons and the Horns as the band at our daughter and son-in-law’s wedding. They are the most FANTASTIC people, and the most amazing musicians and singers. I have never had such a fabulous time at a wedding in my life (and we have been to some great weddings), and the fact that it was our daughter’s wedding and we were able to really celebrate with all of our family and friends and dance the entire night made it even more wonderful.

    We had people to our house the next day for brunch, and have received several phone calls with the same comments: “Where did you ever find that band, they were amazing…Never have we been to such a fun wedding…The band was incredible, they played such a variety of music and the singers were amazing!” So many people told us that they thought the band had as much fun as all of the guests and that the band's enthusiasm and charisma really made the night fabulous. Our goal for the wedding reception was to have a fun party with all the people we love. Not only did they make this happen, they exceeded our hopes and truly made this a night we will never forget.

    Thank you so much for your glowing review! It was an honor to play such a big part in your special day. We hope to see you again soon! - H&TH
