Chip Sent on 09/13/2024Stellar Performance from Miles and the Band!
My wife and I got married at the Grafton Inn this past August. We were privileged enough to book the Miles Band for our reception, with Peter Miles performing solo acoustic guitar during our ceremony. Miles was a pleasure to work with during the planning process, taking the time to understand our needs and accommodating special song requests. It is difficult to overstate the level of talent, charisma, and positive energy that he and the band displayed on our wedding day. Miles performed beautifully during our ceremony and helped create the intimate and warm atmosphere that we hoped to cultivate. During the reception, the Miles Band performed our requested first dance song with feeling and grace, and then succeeded in immediately getting all of our family and friends on the dance floor. There was not a moment that the band was playing in which people were not dancing. Miles and the band showed not only top-notch musicianship, but developed an easygoing and jovial rapport with the crowd. Of all of the aspects of our wedding, we have heard the most feedback about the music, which has been universally positive. Many of our loved ones commented that they felt they were at a concert rather than a wedding reception. The setlist was a great mix of songs from various genres and eras, proving that the band has a remarkable range and can cater to any audience. Simply put, if you’re searching for a live band to elevate your wedding or event with incredible music and vibrant energy, your search is over!Peter Miles and The MILES Band's reply:
Aww, Chip - Thank you so much for this post! It brought me right back to that fantastic day and all of your friends & family totally crushing it on the dance floor. Such a great vibe among everyone, for the whole day & night. We're grateful to have been a part of it! -

Tess Sent on 10/13/2024Best Wedding Band!
We had the pleasure of hiring Peter Miles and The MILES Band for our wedding at the end of September - and they were amazing! Peter Miles played acoustic music during our ceremony and it was absolutely beautiful - and he was so flexible and easy to work with - We didn't really know what we wanted for ceremony music and Miles helped us by providing many recommendations and was very responsive to all of our wants. The ceremony music was just perfect! And then the band played for the reception and it was amazing! We asked them to learn a few songs for us and they nailed them. Other than our must play songs, we didn't have any strong feelings about specific music to play, but they had a huge song bank to pull from and when we told them we just really wanted good dance music, they had the dance floor filled for the whole reception - I loved that they were flexible and able to meet our requests, but the things we didn't know what we wanted or didn't have ideas for, they were supportive with ideas/able to just go with the flow! Everyone just raved about the music and had a blast! I highly recommend them!Peter Miles and The MILES Band's reply:
Hey Tess, Thank you SO much for this kind review! We had a great time as well. That Last Dance idea was new to us, but it went so perfectly! It was extra fun watching all the 'little princesses' having fun on the dance floor! Wishing you both all the best. -

Lindsay Sent on 10/26/2022Amazing Band!
We LOVED working with Miles & having the Miles Band at our wedding!! The music was great and everyone was on the dancefloor the whole reception! We received countless comments from guests about how much they all enjoyed the music selection & how much fun energy they brought to the whole night.
Miles was just as great during the planning process leading up to our big day too. As big live music fans, we knew we wanted a band over a DJ and we originally considered the Miles Band because of their different pricing offers & options. Miles was flexible about allowing us to change how many band members were included (ultimately we went with the full 6 piece band!) and even added on additional options for ceremony music and the Jazz Trio for our cocktail hour! The band was able to learn & play a few of our specialty dance songs as well, which added a special touch to the night! If you are looking for music for your event, you will not be disappointed with the Miles Band!!Peter Miles and The MILES Band's reply:
Hey, Thanks very much, Lindsay! You two were absolutely the best to work with through all the planning and right up to the day of your wedding! And it was an absolutely beautiful autumn event due to your thoughtful and easy-going manner. I'm so glad the weather held out for everything, (just barely!). We really enjoyed seeing all of you have such a great time on the dance floor! Hope to see you around the mountain again soon! -

Deborah Sent on 10/25/2022Fantastic music for our welcome bonfire!
My husband and I were married at the Grafton Inn in June. After hearing Peter Miles perform several times at the Phelps Barn pub, we asked him to sing at our welcome bonfire. What a talented musician! Our guests loved the relaxed vibe of the night and told us over and over how much they enjoyed the music, which ranged from vintage James Taylor to Ed Sheehan covers, and included some fantastic original songs as well. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, Miles, for helping to make our wedding weekend so memorable!Peter Miles and The MILES Band's reply:
Thank you very much, Deborah! I had a wonderful time performing for your welcome party. Your guests were all so kind and everyone seemed to have a marvelous time. I look forward to seeing you and your family & friends again this season at the Grafton Inn! -

Olivia Sent on 08/09/2022The BEST VT band for weddings & events!
I've fortunately had the opportunity to work with Miles and his band many times, as I'm the Event Coordinator, for a popular Inn that regularly hosts weddings in Southern Vermont. The Miles Band is always my go-to recommendation for couples or clients who are interested in hiring either a solo acoustic guitar player (Miles himself,) duo or trio for cocktail hour, or the full band to play for their reception.
When I began to plan my own wedding, hiring Miles and his band was a no-brainer. We asked Miles to perform solo for our cocktail hour and then his band joined him for the reception. We knew they were the perfect band for our wedding since we had guests ranging from young adults to elderly folks. They had everyone dancing and we still get so many comments about how great they were! Not only are they insanely talented musicians, they are professional, organized and always so accommodating to individual requests.
Thank you Miles for everything - we had the time of our lives dancing the night away at our wedding! I will continue to recommend you to anyone looking for outstanding music at their own wedding or event - always!!Peter Miles and The MILES Band's reply:
Thank you so much, Olivia! Working with you always gives me a sense of certainty that the many details of the event will be well planned and well executed. You own wedding was just that, and beautifully designed. We always appreciate your thorough, timely communication and expertise throughout the planning stages to the event itself. Looking forward to many more great events with you and your team! -

Carrie Sent on 06/27/2019beautiful acoustic ambience for outdoor wedding
If you are looking for incredible acoustic guitar as a background for your ceremony entrance, and an acoustic guitar / singer for a great backdrop to your cocktail hour, look no further than Miles. We actually discovered Miles when he was playing at The Grafton Inn for a Friday night entertainment. His music was beautiful, relaxing, and he covers everything from The Beatles to John Mayer to Country and full spectrums in between. He was easy to communicate with, and we received many compliments on not only the music itself, but the sound quality during the ceremony / cocktail hour.Peter Miles and The MILES Band's reply:
Carrie - Thank you so much for having me as a part of your Celebrations! It was a beautiful day all around. Wishing you & Charlie the very best in all you do! -

Diane Sent on 03/11/20193 bands in one made our day a perfect dream!
Miles and his band were AMAZING. Every single guest complimented the music from start to finish. Miles sang and played solo acoustic guitar for our ceremony, which set the perfect mood. For our cocktail hour, Miles offered a fantastic jazz trio. They learned an impressive list of our favorite Bossa Nova tunes, and played them beautifully. For dancing, we enjoyed the full sound of their whole ensemble, including a fantastic female vocalist. They kept us all on the dance floor, all night long!
The whole band also looked great - dressed stylishly and appropriately. I was surprised that the band only took one short break halfway through the party - just long enough for our cake cutting. Miles learned a new song at our request for our recessional, and the band expertly modified our first dance song so we could make it last longer.
Corresponding with Miles was a delight. He is responsive, impeccably professional, and courteous. He answered our every question patiently and knowledgeably, and was willing to tweak our contract to fit our needs perfectly.
The Miles Band (in all its iterations throughout our special day) was our smartest wedding investment. We couldn't be happier with every moment of their performance, and our guests echoed that compliment in spades. They were a huge part of what made it our Best Day Ever!Peter Miles and The MILES Band's reply:
Wow, Diane - Thanks so much for the glowing review! Your wedding day was a real joy from beginning to end, including all of our correspondence throughout the planning stage. We sincerely appreciate your making us a part of your celebrations.
Wishing you both the very best in all you do! -

Rich Sent on 10/10/2016Miles and the band made our big day SO incredibly memorable and fun! Their musicianship and professionalism were truly top notch, and their flexibility made everything flow smoothly throughout the reception. They were also so gracious in taking time to learn new songs for the Bride/Groom, Mother/Son, and Father/Daughter dances. My wife and I wholeheartedly recommend the band to ANY couple looking to make their wedding day all the more special with fantastic music and dancing!Peter Miles and The MILES Band's reply:
Rich, you are so kind! That day was pure love, all around! Thanks so much for including us! -

Abigail Sent on 05/07/2014My now husband and I had the most spectacular wedding held at Cobb Hill Estates in Harrisville, NH! Peter and his band traveled from Vermont to join us for the evening. From booking to playing, Peter was personal, professional, and full of life! While planning Peter provided us with a list of songs he and his band loved to play, while also giving us the options of adding a few of our own choices! Peter was thrilled that my husband was so involved with picking music. My husband is VERY into music! Peter and his band truly connected with our guests! Playing to the mood, even allowing a break so we could view the gorgeous sunset, and keep EVERYONE moving! We were so appreciative of Peter and his bands’ energy! I absolutely, without hesitation, recommend Peter Miles and his band!!!Peter Miles and The MILES Band's reply:
Hi Abby! Thank you so much for the kind review! Your wedding really was a wonderful event; great weather, lots of super dancers and some of the sweetest toasts we've ever heard. Thanks again for including us in your celebration!
All the best,
Miles
