Awesome wedding band!

We had Rare Form play our wedding a month ago in NH and they were awesome all around! We had the whole 8-piece including the horn section - highly recommend if it's within your budget! The price you pay is totally reasonable considering you are paying 8 musicians. Booking them and communicating the details of what we wanted was easy through their manager Donna - she was super nice, helpful with answering questions, and always responsive to my emails. The band truly listened to everything we said we wanted and delivered flawlessly! The keyboard player Jon was able to learn a few very specific songs (not your typical ones) for our ceremony and kept the music going seamlessly when we had a little hiccup at the end of the aisle where my dress strap popped off and my MOH had to spend 20 long stressful seconds getting it snapped back on - at least we weren't standing there in awkward silence haha! The whole 8 piece band learned our first dance song that also wasn't on their list of songs they typically play. They played a hora for us too, and had multiple versions of it to choose from. I was a huge fan of the setlist they put together. We had told them we generally liked the older stuff (70s-90s) but otherwise it was up to them and they listened. While they played some classic "wedding" songs, it wasn't ALL those. They picked many that everyone still knew and loved but it wasn't a whole setlist of overplayed songs (which was a good thing in my opinion!!). They also threw in some hits that millennials would know and like which was half our crowd. I only requested one specific song ("We Are Family") that my family loves because my mom is one of 6 sisters, and told them to play it early in the night because some of my aunts don't usually stay too late at weddings. They listened and did just that! My mom and aunts were happy to be able to dance to it one more time at the last family wedding for awhile. Our dance floor was full the entire time and we had a lot of guests mention how good the band was to us. They had a female lead singer with them who wasn't the one they had on their website but she had a phenomenal voice! I seriously appreciate the band listening to everything we wanted because I know not all wedding music providers do this - I've heard many stories of DJs playing songs on the "do not play list" and/or going rogue with random songs no one knows. Not Rare Form! Besides, why get a DJ and listen to the songs played on recording when you can do that any day, and when you can have a full live band play just for you!? If you're on the fence about a wedding band, do it! And look no further than this one - I have zero complaints or regrets about them playing our wedding and are so happy we booked them!

Rare Form band is truly in rare form!

We had the opportunity to see Rare Form play at Princeton Station. They are an an exceptional band and would make any wedding reception a smash. They play a wide range of music that will please a lot of people. They are highly talented musicians (the female singer is nominated for a Grammy this year) and they interact really well with the crowd. And, they take requests. I wish that there was a band like this available for my wedding!

You know it’s going to be a fun night when the band starts playing and the beat is so good, people get up and dance! Great mix of music and very accommodating. Fun, talented, friendly and energetic!

Saw them perform at Princeton Station in Chelmsford, MA on June 21st

We had a large group of people follow Jon Abrams from church to see him perform with his band. People were up and dancing and cheering throughout the evening. They took requests and left the crowd in awe.

We couldn’t imagine the night without this band.

From the first note to the last, the dance floor was full. The energy was contagious and authentic. The playlist was everything that we pictured for our perfect night. 20/10 recommend Rare Form.

Versatility & Energy!!!

I can’t get over the versatility, energy, organization and talent that is Rare Form. We combed through so many bands for our July 2022 wedding and NO ONE compared to Rare Form. From Pink songs to Frank Sinatra, they can do it all and had everyone out on the dance floor! Our venue also said that they’ve never seen such incredible preparation from a band before. A+ all around. You’ll be so happy you chose them!

We were dancing all night!

This band was absolutely electric--they made our wedding unforgettable and had the dance floor packed and hopping the entire night! Months later, people who attended our wedding are STILL talking about the band, asking "where did you find them, they were incredible!" I would absolutely recommend this band. They sounded amazing the entire night and we would not have had the same wedding without them.

Amazingly fun band!

Rare Form is such an incredibly fun, lively band. They performed at my older sisters’ wedding and EVERYONE was on the dance floor singing, dancing, and having a blast because of them. They played songs from many different genres and when the night came to an end everyone on the dance floor was chanting for an encore!! They are the best wedding band out there! I just booked them for my upcoming wedding because that’s how much the guests and family loved them. 10/10 recommend.

Wonderful experience

We had a 6 piece band for our June wedding and the Rare Form band couldn't have been more wonderful. From communications ahead of time with Donna, the band manager, to the band's performance on the day of, everything went great. The band followed our very detailed timeline well and most importantly, they did a great job at playing party hits in line with the songs we said we loved and had the dance floor packed the entire night. Highly recommend!!

Amazing band

Rare Form always does an amazing job. We have hired them for 3 years to do a client event and they out do themselves each year. We already have next year in the books. The variety of music they play always gets the crowd up and dancing.

3 Times is Not Enough

My wife and I saw Rare Form at a friend ‘s wedding 12 years ago and thought it was the best wedding we had ever been to. So 8 years later (2018), when planning my daughter’s wedding, I asked her and her fiancé to consider Rare Form even though they were set on having another band. As soon as they saw them, they changed their mind on the spot and to this day they thank me for it. The wedding far exceeded our very high expectations thanks to Rare Form’s range of music and ability to keep everyone on the dance floor all night. I still get comments from guests 3 years later about how great the music was. In fact, a family friend and his fiancé we're so impressed with Rare Form at my daughter’s wedding that they planned their own wedding around having them as their band. They had to postpone their wedding 3 times due to Covid but each new date was based upon Rare Form’s availability. Again, I was able to witness how “blown away” everyone was with this band. It is quite impressive to see and never gets old. All the guests were so impressed by them and I am now confident that I will be at another Rare Form wedding soon. I can’t wait!!! Look no further than Rare Form.

Rare Form Entertainment

Our wedding reception was an absolute dream! From the pianist at cocktail hour under the sperry tent, to accommodating our special songs and getting the party started!
Band manager, Donna, is wonderful to plan with and all of the musicians are incredibly talented. Thank you to Steve and each of the members of Rare Form.

We have received so many compliments and would absolutely recommend Rare Form!

Amazing band. Unforgettable night.

Rare Form was so great to work with! They have such a wide array of music to choose from, plus they learned our first dance song, which sounded amazing. Everyone had a great time dancing all night long. We didn't want it to end! We still have family and friends still telling us how much they loved the band at our wedding months later. I highly recommend them!

I can’t even begin to count how many people have come up to my since our wedding raving about Rare Form. These guys were beyond phenomenal and truly were our absolute favorite wedding vendor to deal with. Could not recommend them more. If they are available for your date book them now and don’t miss out!!

Most Amazing Wedding Band!

If we could give more than 5 stars to this fantastic band we absolutely would! Thank you all SO much for the best night of our lives! You played every song perfectly, especially our first dance! We loved it more than the original :) They also played an amazing Hora, which was extremely important for our Jewish wedding. Everyone has been raving about the band ever since, and my family is from New York so that is high praise! We'd get married again just to have you play!

The best band ever!

Everyone was dancing! The band members were high energy and had incredible musicianship. Rare Form had a great amount of versatility and could play everything from new/modern/contemporary to the classics across all genres! We hired the 8 piece band for the reception and additional time for the ceremony and cocktail hour as well. All of our guests commented that they had never seen a band as entertaining as Rare Form! You can search high and low but you will not be able to find a band as good as this one!

Would Definitely Recommend

We were nervous when we booked Rare Form as we had never seen them live, but we had Rare Form at our wedding this past weekend, and they were phenomenal! !First, Donna (band manager) was very easy to work with for coordinating and organizing the day. And the band itself is excellent . They were also very friendly and fun. We would definitely recommend Rare Form. Worth noting that their live performance far exceeds the quality of their online recording samples. They were also very flexible with time so it made the end of the night feel seamless and less abrupt. Guests have been raving about the band and we couldn't agree more.

Unforgettable! Thank you rare form!

There. are. no words. Rare Form was hands down the best wedding decision we made. Our wedding was June 15th at the West Dennis Yacht Club. Rare Form made our day spectacular. The dance floor was packed. All. Night. They had our guests on the dance floor in between courses. Our guests continue to rave about how amazing they were and how they were blown away by not only how great they sounded but the song selection as well. Which leads me to my next point.. how accommodating and flexible Steve and the band were to our asks for the day. For example I kindly (very kindly) asked the band to play a good amount of songs that weren't on their list. I thought for sure they'd maybe learn a couple of our special dance songs and play the recording of others during breaks, but oh no. Song after song I requested - the band LEARNED, PLAYED AND ROCKED and my jaw was on the floor constantly. I was blown away song after song smiling from ear to ear. For one song, Steve handed me a mic and I jammed with Mike to Billy Joel- an experience I (and our guests) will never ever forget. Steve is an incredible MC and the day flowed perfectly because of his attentiveness to our requests and skill. My day of coordinator commented that Rare Form is one of the best, most pleasant bands she’s worked with in all her years of doing this. Donna, the Band Manager, is the sweetest most incredible human and so easy to communicate with- she made the planning process a breeze. If you’re looking for a band for your big day look no further, Rare Form is it. To Donna, Steve, Gigi, Mike, Jon, Steve, Jon, and Carl- we can’t thank you enough for making our wedding day one we’ll never forget- we hope to see you all play again soon! Love the new Mr. & Mrs. Marzo (Victoria & Stephen)

Such a fantastic band!

Rare Form just performed for my son's wedding this past weekend. They are phenomenal! The instruments and voices are spectacular and sound even better than the original artists. I heard all night from our guests how great the band was. Rare Form is a band that keeps your guests on their feet. The dance floor was full all night. A wonderful wedding was had mostly due to Rare Form. Thanks so much!

Rare Form got EVERYONE on the dance floor!

I first heard Rare Form at my cousin's wedding in 2014 and I knew at that moment that this would be the band that plays at my wedding. Mind you, I wasn't even dating anyone yet. Flash forward 4 years and needless to say it was the second easiest decision I made when it came to the wedding (next to saying yes to my husband). I could go on for days about how they absolutely nailed it at our wedding. My husband and I put together a playlist of songs we liked and with the short timeline we weren't expecting them to be able to learn Africa by Toto in time for the wedding but, they did! And it was a crowd favorite, FOR SURE! From our first dance, Van Morrison to our parent/child dances, Landslide and Rod Stewart - Ooh La La, to the closing song Blister in the Sun, these guys absolutely KILLED IT! Kept the energy levels up all night! I would recommend them a million times over. Thank you, Rare Form! xoxo Haleigh & Jack

Rare From was Awesome at our Wedding!

Rare Form was absolutely amazing at our wedding. I had all my friends and family coming up to us after the wedding telling us how awesome they were throughout the entire night. It was a dance party we'll never forget! Their wide assortment of music is uncanny. I strongly recommend them!!!!

Absolutely amazing band. We had a blast!

Rareform is absolutely amazing band. We had a work function of 120+ people , various in ages and the band was able to play all kind of music where everyone is enjoyed. The music selection was so on point that it gets every out to the dance floor. We danced till the very end!
I highly recommend this bad. No need to look further. You won't be disappointed. We plan to use Rareform again next year and recommend it for other functions.

HIRE RARE FORM - Nothing will disappoint you about them

Rare Form band was the greatest. From the start every person at our wedding was WOWED by them... They were so helpful and fun to work with. Donna and Steve were absolutely amazing and there is no question we will hire them again. everything was better than expected. Their voices, the instruments, just everything about them was completely perfect. Everyone had an amazing time because they were so in tune with the crowd. We cant thank Rare Form enough for everything.

Wow!!!........Stunning, Amazing!

WOW!!!..........Stunning!, Amazing!.....Rare Form Band gave my daughter’s wedding the perfect atmosphere and entertainment. Absolutely the best wedding band we have ever experienced by far. Their diversity is unprecedented and kept four generations enraptured. The Maid of Honor and her boyfriend sang a song before the ceremony and Steve sat in on guitar at the last moment which added the perfect touch (now there’s talent!). For the Father/Daughter dance the band learned a Canadian ballad which is very special to her and it sounded like the original performers were in the room, unbelievable! The dance floor was packed all night and everyone commented on how extraordinarily excellent the music was. Thank you Rare Form for a stupendous evening!

Rare Form is a wedding MUST!

A live band was a must on our list and they did not disappoint! Donna was extremely easy to work with and the band was AMAZING! Our first dance, last song and everything in between were nothing short of unbelievable! Our guests are still raving about the music. Thank you, thank you thank you RARE FORM!!!

True Professionals!

Rare Form was engaging, the dance floor was always full, our guests continue to give comments of how incredible they were.
They were great when we saw them over a year ago and were even more amazing at our wedding! We can’t say enough good things about them — they are worth double what we paid!

We absolutely LOVED Rare Form as did everyone else at the wedding. An example of a text someone sent - "We all agreed that you hired the greatest wedding band ever!" I can't imagine a band doing a better job emceeing the night. The band was incredible at handling requests and getting everyone on the dance floor.

Not only did we have people who have been to dozens and dozens of weddings telling us we hired the best wedding band ever, but we also had people who DO NOT dance ever, out on the dance floor. It was truly an amazing testament to the quality of the music, the ability of the band to read the crowd, and the overall vibe that the band created under the tent.

Hiring Rare Form was truly one of the best decisions we made this year, besides deciding to get married :)

The manager was always great about reaching out to me. I couldn’t commit right away but she was always respectful of that. She would reach out consistently without being overbearing which I appreciated. The band in incredible! We were at a wedding, heard them, and knew that we wanted them to play at our wedding! The best there is!

Donna, our sons wedding was last September and guests still talk about Rare Form when we talk about the wedding. They were spectacular. I asked them to play an extra hour, they did so with no repeats, all new music. I can’t say enough, it was a real pleasure working with you and the band!!!!

Best band period! I've worked with Rare Form on three events now, including my own wedding. They are very responsive, can help cater to specific requests, play yesterday & today's best music, are well organized and a tremendous value. I would highly recommend working with Rare Form for your next event and/or wedding as I definitely will be!

My son and daughter-in -law were married in Falmouth this past July 8th. Their reception was at the Seacrest and Rare Form was their wedding band. They were awesome, everyone (over 300 guests) was on the dance floor all night long!! People were raving about how great the band was! My son and his wife had a list of requests for Rare Form and they played every song requested. Steve and Donna were wonderful to work with so genuinely nice and professional! Our experience with Rare Firm Band was a pleasure from start to finish. My husband and I would recommend them HIGHLY!

We selected Rare Form as our wedding band and the band was absolutely amazing! We did not have to give them any direction on which songs to play--they completely read the crowd. The dance floor was filled the entire night and they were so fun to work with. They are beyond talented! I had many many guests at our wedding ask me who our band was because they were so impressed. They sound EXACTLY like the artist(s) they are singing. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a wedding band or a band for an event!

They are very talented professionals and a pleasure to work with. They know how to read and please crowd. Many, many wedding attendees commented on how talented and great the band was and how fun the wedding was as a result. Two people requested contact information for up-and-coming weddings in their family.
If you want a band, these people are the best!

Rare Form was outstanding. We had them for a 5 hours reception at MT Top INN in Vermont. We had 210 people at the wedding and the dance floor was packed (beginning to end).

They could sing/play every type of music. I have had multiple people ask me for their contact information and the play list they played that evening.

Also, had the keyboard player do 1 1/2 hours at the cocktail party.

Our wedding guests consistently said Rare Form was one of the best bands that they had ever seen. They had the dance floor packed from first to last minute. They play a great variety and their energy is awesome. They were flexible throughout the night to adjust breaks and respond to our guests. Better than we could have ever expected. Many of our guests now want to book them so book early! They will make your event!

This band MADE my wedding. Words cannot express the gratitude I have for Rare Form and the joy the band brought to my wedding. The dance floor was PACKED the whole night, and every single song was outrageously good! From Bruce Springsteen, to Pitbull, to Sinatra, my guests were blown away by the versatility and accuracy of the band! We had lots of requests for what we wanted and didn't want for our music and for the flow of the evening, and Donna and the band accommodated every single request while being such a pleasure to work with! I am a bride who believes that the music is the most important part of a wedding (along with food!), and I honestly could not be happier that I chose Rare Form! My guests were coming up to my husband and I the whole evening complimenting the band, and we they were still complimenting the band AFTER the wedding!! PLEASE take my advice and end your search here! You will be SO happy with Rare Form Band!

Rare Form is AMAZING!!! Our guest can't stop talking about how talented these guys (and girl) are, and how much fun our wedding was because of their music! We knew that having a band was a must for our wedding, and Rare Form did not disappoint! They play a great range of music that was enjoyed by all ages at our wedding! They are a must-have for a truly rockin' wedding!!

Rare Form was the best part about our wedding!!! I can't say enough about what a great performance they gave and how they got all of my wedding guests on the dance floor!!! I had guests who got their cards afterwards to book them at their upcoming events because they thought Rare Form was so unbelievable good. And Donna was a fantastic manager! She helped me coordinate everything so I had nothing to worry about. I can't recommend them enough and am trying to figure out when is the next time I can hire them again for another event!

Rare Form was an amazing addition to a wedding I coordinated recently. They brought great energy to the room, were delightful to work with, and they sound AMAZING. From Louis Armstrong to Taylor Swift I had to keep reminding myself it was a band and not a DJ. I can't wait for my next bride to book Rare Form!

Rare Form played at my brother's wedding years ago and people raved about how great the band was! When it came to my own wedding this past summer, I had no interest in exploring other bands. I contacted Donna the band manager, and reserved Rare Form. They are professional and fun. The band is more than willing to learn special requests...which we really enjoyed! There was a moment at the wedding when I wasn't sure whether an artist's original recording was playing or the band, only to turn and see that is was the band! I highly recommend Rare Form!

Rare Form performed at my wedding this past August, it was the best band! The wedding guests were dancing before the dinner was served and the floor was full all night! They also did the ceremony and cocktail hour which was spectacular! The band is easy to work with and will make sure to learn songs that are important to you! If I could I would hire them once a month for a big bash because they were that good! Hope to see them perform again soon!

There are not enough great things to say about Rare Form! My wife and I hired them to play for our wedding and they were fantastic! When we started to look at entertainment options we knew we wanted a live band and we knew we wanted a live band that would play music everyone knew and loved and could relax and have a great time with. We first heard them play at a showcase event and they impressed us from the start. The group was in-tune, they had a great line up and they easily changed gears. Fast forward to the event and they were even more amazing. Our guests had a great time and keep telling us how great the band was and how much fun they had with the music selection. The band really connected well with the audience and had as much fun performing as everyone else did dancing and listening. I should also add that Rare Form's musicians also provided the music for our ceremony and they did a wonderful job performing some great classical pieces. All throughout our planning process they were very easy to work with and always very professional. I wouldn't hesitate to hire them again or recommend them to anyone looking for a great live band that can provide a wide variety of quality music.

We could not have been happier with the Rare Form .Band. They kept the dance floor packed, played every song we requested and MADE our daughters wedding a night everyone remembers. Even the venue people remarked what a fun wedding it was. We still receive calls and coments about what a great and enjoyable wedding we hoasted. Cannoy say enough about the R F Band...a must!.

Rare Form did an amazing job at our wedding at the Boston Seaport Hotel in June. Leading up to the wedding, they were super helpful in making sure everything was organized and this removed all stress from this part of organizing the wedding which was great. We weren't 100% sure what type of music we wanted, and we just gave them a general idea and they took that and ran with it and put on an amazing performance.

Throughout the course of the wedding, we repeatedly received compliments from guests about what an amazing band we had found and how impressed they were with the different styles and sounds that a single band could pull off. Definitely would recommend to others, they are both friendly and talented and really put on a good show.

We had our wedding July 2014 and Rare Form was amazing!!! We didn't have a well-known first dance song and they learned it and preformed it perfectly. They had all 150 guests (all different ages) dancing the night away! We still get complements on how great Rare Form was and have had some of our guest refer them to their friend for future weddings. They truly made our wedding memorable and fun for everyone. We sang and danced the night away, it was unforgettable!!!!

I originally experienced Rare Form at my brother's wedding in 2011 and was blown away by their performance. I knew right then and there that I wanted them at my wedding. I saw them again at my brother's sister-in-law's wedding in 2013 and they were just as I remembered! So fun! Well, when the time came to pick my wedding music, it was a no-brainer - I contacted Rare Form right away!

If you are looking for a wedding band that will get everyone onto the dance floor, Rare Form is the band! I had shy family members who never dance and they were tearing up the dance floor! It was great! The variety of music that Rare Form played struck a chord (no pun intended - or was it?) with everyone, from me and my 20-something-year-old friends to my 83-year-old great aunts. There was something for everyone.

I also had Jon Abrams, the band's keyboardist, play my ceremony music along with a cellist that he had previously worked with. They were fantastic!

Donna, the band's manager, was a pleasure to work with. She's very responsive and makes sure every detail of your day's music is communicated clearly so you won't stress!

I HIGHLY recommend Rare Form! You won't regret it!

Rare Form Band made our wedding. I am a harsh critic of bands because of my taste in music and honestly my wife and I and all of our guests were absolutely amazed by how talented and professional Rare Form band is. We have gone to about 10 high end weddings amongst our friends over the past year and we were consistently told by our guests that was the best wedding they have ever been to. The band made the wedding. People danced from the mother son dance until the venue kicked us out. The lead singer has a an incredible Barry White voice and throws sarcasm and tweaks to the music out at the perfect times. They also unexpectedly played my wife and I's first dance song and also unexpectedly played ice ice baby when my mom and I danced to it during our first dance. At the end of the night, Steve the lead guitarist played the most incredible guitar solo to turn the venue into a Van Morrison concert. This band is a true collection of extremely talented musicians that will turn your wedding into a night you will never forget.

Rare Form was,...without a doubt the best wedding band we have ever seen/heard/danced too, etc. They made our wedding reception an incredibly fun event. They performed a broad range of songs and had an incredible capacity to pull it off with a crazy bunch of people of all ages.

Rare Form Band played my wedding and people STILL talk about them 10 years later. They were amazing, they played amazing music and I loved them. We danced all day. They were able to play music from the 60's to 2000's. I am now in the wedding industry as a photographer and I recommend them to my brides. They are amazing.

Having Rare Form as our band was hands-down the best decision we made for our wedding day. Rare Form elegantly hosted our wedding and set the tone for quite the party. They were professional, talented and flexible. Rare Form played all the songs we asked them to and tailored their play lists to make sure all our of guests had a great time. We had the time of our lives and know that all our guests did too. So many of our guests still rave about Rare Form to this day. We couldn't be happier with our decision and we only wish we could relive the amazing day. It was the best day of our lives! Thank you Rare Form!! You guys rock!

I would like to Thank Rare Form for making this the most memorable Anniversary party ever! Our Guests are still raving about how much fun they had! They were also very easy to work with and very accommodating to any of our requests. Any parties I have in the future Rare form will be my first call!

I am obsessed with Rare Form. They absolutely MADE our wedding. Anyone who is thinking of getting a DJ... STOP what you are doing right now, and get a band. Preferably, get Rare Form. They had everyone dancing- from our teenage cousins, our friends (mid-20s), and all of the "grown-ups." They played nearly every song on our play list and also learned a really tough to play song for our last dance. I am beyond excited for them to play at my sister's wedding next February!! Thank you Rare Form and Donna for being so incredibly professional and attentive since the day we booked them, about 15 months before our wedding!

Loved working with this band. Before the wedding, Donna was very accommodating. She returned my emails quickly. My guests loved the actual band and couldn't stop raving about them. I would not hesitate to recommend them.

I can't believe how long it has taken for me to tell you that RARE FORM WAS THE BEST PART OF OUR WEDDING! Seven months later, people are still talking about it. In fact, my sister is getting married next February, and Rare Form will be the entertainment! Seriously - every interaction I had with Donna leading up to the event, and the band on the day of, was fabulous. They played almost every song we requested, and even learned a very tough one as our "last dance." They kept every person - from teenagers to people in their 60s and 70s - on the floor all night. I can't say enough about how fabulous they were. Having a band instead of a DJ makes a one thousand percent difference in the feel of the wedding. Thank you Rare Form for being the absolute dream of a wedding band. We are obsessed!

Dear Donna & Band,
When it came time for our middle daughter Janelle's wedding we had no idea where or when we would have the wedding...so many decisions to make with photographer, florist, etc etc . THE ONE THING WE DIDN'T HAVE TO EVEN THINK TWICE ABOUT WAS WHAT BAND WE WOULD HIRE!! RARE FORM was OUTSTANDING at our first daughter Jena's wedding!! Our guests are still talking about the DiCarlo/Lepore wedding 2 1/2 yrs later we are still hearing from guests "that was the best band ever, we had so much fun at your wedding!!!!! "
Thank you RARE FORM, we can't wait to enjoy your unbelievable talent once again !

P.S. Did I forget to mention we have one more daughter who already agrees RARE FORM will be at her wedding some day too !

Maria & Joe DiCarlo

Rare Form is THE best wedding band. They played at my brother's wedding 9 years ago, and was the first vendor I contacted when I was planning my wedding. I hired them for the ceremony. cocktail hour, and reception. They were extremely helpful in selecting the music for the ceremony and cocktail hour, and nailed every song they sang at the reception. They were fun and engaging and we received endless compliments from our wedding guests about the band. I was thrilled that they were able to play at my wedding. Thank you, Rare Form!

Rare Form was recommended to me by a friend who saw them perform at another wedding. I listened to them online, spoke to their manager, and decided that since I liked what I heard, I was going to book them without hearing them in person first. After i did, I was a bit nervous, but every time I talked to Donna, the manager, she made me feel great about them. They learned 4 special songs for us: our 1st dance; the father-daughter dance; the mother-son dance; and our last dance. Their voices are INCREDIBLE! they sounded a lot like the originals, but also put their own twist on it which made it even more special for us. I can't say enough incredible things about them! They sounded awesome, they complied when we asked them to dress formally to match the feel of our wedding, and they played every single song we requested that night. I had a 1 musician play the cocktail hour, which created a beautiful ambiance, and then the whole 8 piece band joined for dinner and dancing. Their music set the tone for our party - from the minute our first dance was over until the very last song, everyone was on the dance floor. We didn't want the night to end! I would definitely recommend this band!

Dear Donna,

Thank you-thank you-thank you and Rare Form for making our wedding an incredible event that we will forever remember. Rare Form and their music transformed the wedding reception from a party into a forever memory. The music was simply incredible!

All the band members were so lovely and truly a pleasure to work with. Their upbeat, fun personalities were infectious - all our of guests commented on what a fun evening it was! My husband and I were beyond impressed; we have already given out your contact information too many times to count.

We are so grateful and will forever remember how lucky we were to start our first night as husband and wife with such wonderful music!

Rare Form is an incredible band and I would highly recommend them. If music is an important element of your planned event, then you have to hire Rare Form. Guest at my daughter's reception at The Granite Rose in Hampstead, NH ranged from 14 to 83. Everyone was dancing all night long. There was no gender gap that evening.

Rare Form has fantastic vocals, their sound is clean, clear and powerful. One guest stated " you hit a home run with this band. From their first song to their last, they were fantastic". They read our guest perfectly and the dance floor was packed all night long.

Amazing band,

Bob

Rare Form is simply spectacular! From the moment we heard the band play at the Boston Harbor Hotel summer concert series, we knew instantly that they were the band for us! They are high quality musicians who have a wide range of vocals - with an ability to play everything from Louis Armstrong to Black Eyed Peas to Cyndi Lauper ... and sound exactly like each artist/group! We would definitely recommend them to anyone who wants to dance the entire night. They kept the crowd on their feet from the minute the reception started. The band and manager were very accommodating - I requested a special song for my husband since it was also his birthday. And the band learned and played the song to perfection! Thank you so much Rare Form for helping to make it such a special day!

The band was incredible! Everyone was dancing including folks who said they had not danced in years! I also appreciated how the band interacted with everyone and it added to the experience. Many commented that it was like being at a concert. We truly appreciated having the band at the wedding and they made it the great event it was.

Among the myriad decisions couples must make regarding their wedding day, perhaps none is more sigificant than the entertainment. Towards that end, selecting Rare Form to play at our wedding reception was, quite possibly, the single BEST decision we made and we truly can't say enough about the incredible performance they submitted.
Leading up to the wedding, the Band Manager (Donna) was extremely attentive and responsive to our needs, ensuring every last detail was accounted for while also being extremely sensiitve to our needs and the overall vibe we were trying to achieve with our reception. We always felt like we were in the most capable hands throughout the planning stages.
As for the wedding day itself, it could not have gone any smoother. Donna placed an unexpected (but much appreciated) call to us the night prior to ensure everything was set and confirm any last-minute details. It was an extremely personal touch that really demonstrated how invested the band was in our special day.
In closing, we can guarantee that you will NOT be disappointed should you choose Rare Form to perform at your wedding. Their song selection is as diverse as it is extensive and they earned nothing but rave reviews from all of our guests. They made the reception so memorable and special, I can't thank them enough.
Seriously, book these guys NOW!!!

We host a holiday party to benefit the Make a Wish Foundation of New Hampshire and "RARE FORM" has been our band every year - this band is the reason we have over 300 people attend the event every year. This band is incredible and I am always willing to provide a reference - please email tharte@landmarkbenefits.com if you have any specific questions or need a reference.

Why this band isn't more well known in Boston, I simply don't know. We picked them because they sounded great, were among the more reasonably priced 8-piece bands we could find, and when we saw them at another function, the dance floor was full! The week before our wedding we saw them play at Rowes Wharf, and we knew we had something special when diners at the surrounding restaurants left their tables and started dancing! We weren't disappointed, and our guests are still talking about our band. We could not have been happier!

They played for my sister's wedding and really made the night. I can't say enough about how good they are. The dance floor was packed all night. They took requests with the bride and groom's approval and every song was great! A band is more expensive but worth every penny. All the guests raved about them. They responded quickly to requests and were consummate professionals. Highly recommend!
