Katelyn B. Sent on 12/15/2023BOOK the 1999 Live Band ..everything else will fall into place!!!
I have so much to say and don’t know where to begin!! … After planning a wedding for 2 years if I had only one recommendation to a bride/groom.. I would say book the 1999 Live Band and everything else will fall into place. We truly had the best experience from start to finish with Rob and the entire band. I knew from the first call with Rob we had to book the 1999 live. We started off with initial timelines, flow of the day, music and of course the .. party! Throughout my planning phases, the team was there to answer any questions we had, this gave me complete trust that they would handle anything that came there way. We also were able to see them play twice before our big day… and that is MUST!! They are so talented and fun that Kenny and I, our family and friends have all become groupies! The team is extremely organized, and the planning that happened a few weeks before the wedding with Rob and team was seamless and stressfree (one of the few vendors that I really didn't stress about). We felt so confident in how the music and day was going to go. They also created some very special mixes for us. This is something we will remember forever! At one point Kenny and I said “no matter what happens that day… we know the band is going to absolutely rock it” This made use feel so good and relaxed going into wedding day. Our day was perfect from start to finish and I think largely due to the 1999 Live! Everything was timed perfectly, and we through the party of the year!! Every single guest was on the dance floor until the very end! We had so many guests reach out and say that may have been the best band they had ever seen at a wedding! I could go on and on but truly the core memories for us was the 1999 live band, Robs planning, Viannas Amazing voice, The dance floor, and the band solos during Revival! We have formed life long friends and I can’t wait to continue to see them at shows and other friends weddings!! If there is one thing you need to book in advance it’s this band, you will not regret it!The 1999's reply:
Ahhh, where do we even begin with a response?! Thank you, Katy and Kenny for throwing an absolutely insane party with an amazing cast of friends and family. We had so much fun getting to know you over the past 2 years — it was our absolute pleasure being your band and DJ. The whole crew is still raving about this wedding weeks later. Surely, it was an event that will go down in our band’s history as one of the most epic events we’ve ever played!!
Sending you all the love! -

Cam W. Sent on 10/30/2023The most amazing live performance ever!
I am not exaggerating when I say I think this may be the best party band in state, if not the country. I mean, I have NEVER experienced a live performance as awesome as the one we got on my wedding night from The 1999.
Shouts out to the entiiiiiire crew: Rob, Connor, Thom, Joe, Andrew, Viana, and J. I wish I could thank every one of them again and in person, just to get to kick it with them for a bit again. They're all such cool people, but on top of that, these folks are insanely talented. I think J might have done 4 incredible guitar solos back-to-back-to-back and my soul left my body for a second. Rob on drums makes me want to head-bang myself into a state of whiplash, and Viana's stunning voice had as dancing non-stop.
And I mean NON-STOP dancing. The parents' speeches ran long, so these folks didn't take a break, NO downtime between songs, and provided us with the most high-octane 2-hour dance party ANY of us had ever been to. Every single person at that wedding was blown away by this crew.
Rob helped us every step of the way with scheduling, organization, set lists, playlists, song cuts, sound setup, microphones, troubleshooting, and even emotional support lol. They even provided us with a stellar IG Reel the day after the wedding.
I feel like this review doesn't even do this band justice. We are so eternally grateful to them and will be recommending them to everyone!!!The 1999's reply:
Cam and Lily! You legends! Thank you so much for your kind words but more importantly your trust, collaboration, creativity, and generosity. If we could re-live your wedding weekend over and over again, we would 10 out of 10 times! Sending you all the love! -

Samantha G. Sent on 08/26/2023The 1999 are awesome!!
Rob, DJ Alex and the band/team absolutely crushed it. They were a true pleasure to work with throughout the planning process and helped us bring all of the personal elements that were important to us to life, from nailing the exact vibe of guest arrival, cocktail hour, and dinner music to learning a new song for the father-daughter dance to incorporating multiple surprises to take the party to the next level. They also took care of all of our audio needs including the ceremony and kept things running smoothly by emceeing all transitions. And let’s not forget the best part - the band absolutely rocked! We heard from so many guests that The 1999 was the best band they’ve ever heard play at a wedding and we couldn’t agree more. 100% recommend The 1999 to anyone looking for a band that brings so much energy and fun and is impeccably professional to work with.The 1999's reply:
Thank you so much, Sam and Dylan! What a perfect day. We loved hearing your vows, watching your parents dance the night away, and seeing all your loved ones celebrate your incredible relationship and the many, many years to come. It was truly our honor to be your band, DJ, and entertainers of choice! Candidate for wedding of the year! -

The BEST, most EPIC wedding band!
Where do we start with this review! We had the best experience with Rob, Alex and the whole 1999 team. They completely exceeded our expectations and helped make our wedding day the BEST, most EPIC day of our lives!
From our first phone call with Rob one year before our wedding day to the final song of the night, the 1999 was there for us. The 1999 team is professional, personable and they truly make it their top priority to make your wedding day dreams become a reality.
During one of our phone calls we discussed how John, my now husband, is a guitarist. Rob and Alex helped us pull off the best surprise for our guests by pulling John and two of his friends up to play with the band! I even hopped up with them at one point to play tambourine LOL! It was awesome and legendary!
The 1999 made every request we threw at them happen (even changing ceremony songs the day before!), answered every question we had and every time we needed suggestions, the 1999 was there for us! They made recommendations as fit and even sent us sample playlists to help us figure out the vibe we were going for during our ceremony and cocktail hour. They provided us with a planning sheet and helped us make our wedding day timeline. The 1999 even surprised us with an awesome video the day after our wedding which was so thoughtful.
Not only did we have the best night of our lives as the bride and groom, but our friends and family haven’t stopped talking about how great, engaging and fun our band was!
We could go on and on about how awesome the 1999 is, but I will leave it at this; If you want a band/dj combo that will MAKE your wedding day, reach out to the 1999 immediately! -Megan + JohnThe 1999's reply:
Megan and John! Thank you so much for you kind words! We are so humbled and had SO much fun being John's back up band :) Congrats to you, your beautiful families, and a picture perfect wedding! We hope to see you around! What an EPIC celebration! -

Seth B. Sent on 10/17/2022Perfect. More than just a band. Need more stars!
We wish that we could go higher than 5 stars. We hired The 1999 for our wedding, and recommend everyone do the same. From our first conversation to the end of our night, they were incredible to work with.
Most importantly, our wedding day was flawless. Sound during the ceremony, DJ music during cocktail hour, dinner, and dances were exactly what we hoped for. Once the band started playing, everyone was out of their seats dancing, and most of our guests went out of their way to say it was the best wedding band they'd ever seen. They made it an incredible party.
The band went far out of their way to make the night special, from learning new songs to altering song lyrics to some last minute requests.
We could write 5 more paragraphs about our experience. You will not find a better wedding band/DJ.
The 1999's reply:
Thank you so much Seth and Lauren!! It was our absolute pleasure being your band and DJ! We had so much fun! -

Ej Hammond Sent on 10/16/2022More than just a band!
The 1999 exceeded all of our expectations--they turned out to be so much more than just a wedding band! Alex and Rob not only coordinated the musical aspects of the night, they also partnered closely with us to plan and pace our ENTIRE event. They were super professional, really fun to work with, and their experience with weddings was absolutely invaluable. We gave them some minimal guidance for the music/vibe and they took care of every moment from the ceremony to the cocktail hour, dinner, and the reception. Our guests are STILL talking about how good the music was and how much fun they had on the dance floor! Could not recommend more highly.The 1999's reply:
We really appreciate it EJ and Sarah! We had so much fun — thank you for allowing us to be your entertainment partners for your big day! -

The most fun
Where do we even begin?! The 1999 was amazing from the first conversation we had to the last encore and dance! Rob, DJ Alex and team helped us come up with a seamless timeline for the day, kept us organized, checked in with us during the planning process and made sure we had all the details finalized before the big day! Their expertise is unbeatable. They may as well be wedding planners too!
Close friends of ours played during our ceremony and the 1999 was so accommodating! I'm telling you they are the BEST.
The acoustic trio for cocktail hour was beautiful and such a nice added touch to the day! And if you're not convinced yet....
The best part- The 1999 had the dance floor packed for 3 hours!! It was amazing and the most fun we have ever had!! The feedback from our guests at the wedding and for a few days following was unbelievable!!! Their wide variety of songs had guests of every generation on the dance floor at some point. We are still not over it and might never be. IT WAS EPIC!
Do yourself a favor and hire the 1999, you won't regret it! They are kind, thoughtful, helpful and the MOST FUN!
We will be following them all around Boston and keeping our fingers crossed that someone will hire them and invite us to their wedding!!!!The 1999's reply:
Congrats Meg and Matt -- that was hands down one of the best weddings EVER. Thank you so much for allowing us to be part of your big day. Can we hire you and Matt as our dance floor hype team so you can get the party started with us at EVERY wedding?? If we could relive your celebration every weekend, we would! -

Shelby R. Sent on 08/22/2022Our wedding day was beyond perfect, but The 1999 made it EPIC
If you've found this review I hope you book The 1999 Band & DJ combo for your wedding or event needs because let me tell you, if you don't you'll 100% regret it. Rob, Alex, and crew are literally some of the most talented individuals we've ever met. Not only are they good at what they do but they're all genuinely some of the most thoughtful and caring people we've met. From start to finish working with them has been stress free and so much fun. Even if they had back to back events or entire weekends filled up that they're working on for someone else, they still make you feel like their number one priority. They listen, advise, but most of all they are passionate about what they do. Our wedding day was beyond perfect but The 1999 made it EPIC. They read the crowd and play all the right stuff. They made it so personal that in between sets they even would refer to stuff that had happened throughout the night or mentioned it later. So much we want to say and share but we know that what they did for us at our wedding was specially tailored to us and they'll do the same for you. From the ceremony to acoustic cocktail hour to the reception The 1999 brought their talent, passion, and expertise with them throughout the entire day. We also added the photo booth to our package and the attendants were beyond amazing. We couldn't speak more highly about them and just know that by booking The 1999 you will be incredibly happy with your decision as well. So if you're still here reading this review I hope you won't have to look any further because if you want it all, The 1999 is the Band & DJ combo meant for you.The 1999's reply:
Thank you so much Shelby and Mike! Certainly one of our most memorable and fun to date. We had SO much fun! -

Best band ever!
Rob and the 1999 crew are absolutely FANTASTIC - could not recommend them more!! Rob was so responsive and consistent in checking in on us leading up to the big day and very thorough about every detail - from timeline to song choices to rallying the guests to party! He was an immense help when we were sketching out the timeline of the day and he was always ready to provide suggestions and recommendations when we were unsure what the best move was. The 1999 was by far the best vendor we worked with when planning our wedding! The music was also unbelievably amazing. We had so many friends come up to us during and after the wedding asking us how/where we found them and how the band crushed it. They were so good at reading the room and were able to keep the energy HIGH. They also did a surprise live version of ABBA for me during my bouquet toss and all the girls went wild! And to top it all off, they have the BEST version of Mr. Brightside you will ever hear. Rob is an absolutely stellar guy and so personable, you really feel like you're working with your best friend. We wish we could have our wedding all over again just to hear The 1999 perform again :)The 1999's reply:
Omg! Thank you and Greg so much for having us. We miss you both already! It may be cliched to say but people really make the wedding and you and your guests were just so much fun, sweet, energetic, funny, and loving. It really made for a perfect night. Drinks on me when you’re back in Boston! With love, Rob, Alex and The 1999 -

11/5 STARS. We hardly know where to begin - we are obsessed with the 1999! There's a couple things that people will remember from your wedding party for years to come, and the band is in the top 2 of them. The 1999 exceeded every expectation we could have ever had. As someone who had always dreamed of catching a ride to city hall - they completely changed my mind and now have made me want to relive this party 1 million times over. They were an outstanding band, a ton of fun, and picked up on the music vibe of our group INSTANTLY and rode it all night. I don't think I got off the dance floor once. We have received endless compliments (and even family members trying to recreate the set list) since our big day.
More than their incredible talent, The 1999 was a huge asset to our day. They took charge from the beginning when we met as essentially additional coordinators and made sure the day went smoothly from start to finish. Even when our schedule got a little out of order with speech lengths, they pivoted in the moment and ended up playing a marathon set (without breaks) so that we wouldn't miss a minute of band time. We hardly had to lift a finger with music selection (or anything else). They were incredibly kind, down-to-earth, and a dream to work with. Just the right amount of organized and in-touch as they were no stress and left no detail/stone unturned.
Maybe most importantly to me, we had heard from our other vendors AHEAD of our wedding date to tell us how excited they were to work with The 1999 based on both past experiences and their reputation in the industry. How they treated not only us, but their relationship with our venue and other vendors spoke volumes to me about who they were as a group. We wanted most of all our wedding to overwhelmingly feel like a gathering of our closest friends and The 1999 fit right into that mold.
Couldn't recommend enough hiring The 1999 for your wedding unless you want your party to be lame.The 1999's reply:
Kelsey and Matt! What a perfect wedding from the venue to the vendors... I guess the couple and their families were OK too ;) but seriously, thank you so much for assembling a dream team to collaborate on your wedding. We had a blast and would repeat that celebration every weekend if we could! Glad everyone had a memorable, fun night! -

Andrea Sent on 07/19/2022The Band you want for the wedding of your dreams
The 1999 and DJ Alex and Rob went above and beyond. We connected with Rob several times over the course of wedding planning through email, text and phone calls. The calls became more frequent the closer we got to the wedding and they were so flexible with timing. I distinctly remember the time I had known that this band was different. On our first get to know you call, Rob could see my anxiety through the phone and that we were feeling overwhelmed and reassured us that everything would be fine and I had never felt more calm and supported. Normally you need a doctors referral and a copay to feel that relaxed. Rob and the band were there for us as soon as we started planning our wedding and essentially outlined our entire night for us because we had no idea what we were doing. They gave us advice on what they had seen work and what could work if we wanted the timing to go in a different direction. They never tried to steamroll us and supported our plans when they changed. Our night flowed perfectly because of their scheduling and planning and all the secret stuff they did in the background to make it work. We asked Rob for 3 custom song edits (processional, first dance and mother son dance) and he offered up a few options and which one he thought could work best. On the day of the wedding, the whole team showed up early to get the lay of the land and practice. When it came time to jam, these guys were amazing and SO FUN. My friends could not stop talking about how great the band was, something about how at the end of the night the dogs couldn't stop barking. I have shy, older family members and they somehow were able to convince them to come out onto the dance floor. These guys are incredibly talented and passionate about their skills, and are just all around amazing. They did more than just play music at our wedding and we feel like they're already our old friends. Also, they have a sick photo booth!
