The best wedding band!

Young Love and the Thrills made our wedding an unforgettable night. From the ceremony music, to cocktail hour saxophone, and of course the 9-piece band where we danced the night away.. everything was perfect! The saxophonist even led our guests from cocktail hour to our dinner, it was a hit! Highly recommend.

Best Band Ever

Young Love and The Thrills. I’m not sure if there are enough words to describe how ridiculously fun and engaging this band was. It wasn’t just a performance, it was an experience. They got in the crowd, danced and sang with us, incorporated unconventional props (a taxidermy coyote), and played a set that I can only describe as a dj performing a mix but with every instrument instead of a pre recorded set. They would combine 3-4 songs at once in transition to another song which would then circle back to the chorus of a song we were dancing our asses off to before. It was creative, lively, and kept every guest in the moment. Pure energy. Raw talent. Even my Dad, a 78 year old man who only listens to classical, was completely captivated. I cannot speak more highly of this group. They are wonderful musicians and people, and if you book them, the ensuing party will blow your guests away (quite literally every one of our guests raved about the band), as well as you. 100/10, do not miss out!

Look no further! You found the one!

Look no further! YLATT is incredible. We were passionate about finding the right band for our wedding and we drove up to Boston to see YLATT perform in person. We were immediately blown away. The dinner set was impeccable and the party set was epic. We knew then that we wanted to book them but the cherry on top was this: another couple was there and told us that YLATT was the band at their own wedding and they came to see them again for their anniversary. They raved about their experience and told us we found the one. We were thrilled to hear it but needed no convincing at that point. Their talent, personality, chemistry, crowd work etc. had sealed the deal.

To no surprise, YLATT crushed it at our wedding too. I’ve lost track of how many people have asked me to share the bands info with them so that they can inquire for their own family weddings.

We are so lucky to have had them there, it really brought our special day to the next level. We hope to make a tradition of seeing them play to celebrate our future anniversaries too. For now, I’ll pass on the words of wisdom that the other YLATT couple shared with us: You found the one!

Best ever!

Seriously the MOST fun and amazing band EVER! If it is any indication of how great, let's just say I lost my voice from scream singing all night from when we first saw them play in Southie! On our wedding day, danced and sang even harder all night long and people are still talking about how awesome they were! Working with Andy was absolutely seamless and he made sure everything was exactly how we wanted and even more! We could not have had our perfect day without Young Love and The Thrills! They came highly recommended from our trusted wedding planner, and she could not have been more right! BEST. BAND. EVER!!!!

YLATT knows how to keep the party dancing! A MUST hire!

Just WOW! Young Love & The Thrills is more incredible than any of your expectations or imagination. This band is wildly talented and really knows how to get the party started! We asked for upbeat music that would keep our guests dancing all night, and man did they deliver. They were absolutely fantastic to work with from start to finish. Working through the music for the prelude, ceremony, cocktail hour and reception was an absolute breeze. Our dance floor was packed from the first song to the last - even during the break! Young Love & The Thrills was also incredibly thoughtful - changing the lyrics of “Jessie’s Girl” to “Kevin’s Girl”. It was an awesome surprise for us and our guests to dance and sing to! We can’t recommend this band enough. You must hire YLATT! It’s the best decision you’ll make for your wedding!

Absolutely Blown Away!!

YLATT were absolutely incredible! We, and our guests, were completely blown away. From providing the music at the ceremony, to ending our night with the most fun dance party, it was perfect from start to finish. We had people all night asking for their information so they could book them for a future event. We can't thank them enough for keeping the dance floor FULL all night!! Would recommend them a million times again and again!!

The BEST wedding band - DON'T MISS OUT!

I spent weeks scouring wedding band websites in search of something unique and could not be more pleased that we went with Young Love! Like many couples, the band was a focal point of our planning process and Young Love did not disappoint. We had a trio play during our cocktail hour to set the tone for the evening. They are extremely talented and provide an energy and capability that we had not often experienced amidst the countless weddings we’ve attended over the years listening to a neverending stream of the same songs. Andy was very easy to work with throughout the process and we cannot overstate how amazing their performance was, particularly with our special request songs (Zombie by the Cranberries absolutely set the tone). The dance floor was packed all night and our friends and family were buzzing for days. Absolutely recommend!!! (Photo Credit: Kate McElwee)

Our guests can't stop talking about YLATT!

We had the pleasure of having Young Love and the Thrills as our wedding band in Newport, RI in June 2022. One consistent theme that kept coming up in our guests comments afterwards was, "That was the best band we've ever heard!" We had such an amazing night thanks to this wonderful group of people and we are so glad our guests loved them just as much as we did! They were all so easy to work with prior to and during the wedding, and really knew how to engage the crowd. Thank you, YLATT, for providing us memories we will never forget!

YLATT are simply incredible!!!

Young Love and the Thrills, were absolutely, positively, simply incredible! Words simply don't capture how amazing they were at our October 2021 wedding in Newport, RI. From the very beginning when our wedding planner recommended them, Andy from YLATT was incredibly friendly, fun to work with and super flexible and open to our questions and thoughts. He was super communicative and responsive every step of the way throughout the planning process. On the day of the wedding, the simply blew all of us away. The entire band was so insanely talented, were so much fun interacting with our guests and especially my little five year old niece! They tailored the playlist to our preferences -- every single song was perfect! It was a perfect mix of everything for everyone. I truly cannot recommend them enough. I didn't want the evening to end and that's in extremely large part to YLATT. We are all still talking about how amazing they were. I want to throw a big party just to be able to experience the magic they created on our special day again! Thank you to Andy and the entire band for making our special day so incredibly memorable. We are forever grateful to you all!

Loved YLATT’s chill vibe

We were so happy with YLATT as our wedding band. Having a memorable wedding band was a top priority for us, and we searched long and hard for the best. YLATT came recommended to us from friends, and we choose them based on their style/set list which is a bit more differentiated than some of the other bands in the Boston area. Furthermore, YLATT has competitive rates and was very easy to work with. Unfortunately, we had to postpone our wedding due to COVID but Andy was very easy to work with throughout the process. He stayed in constant communication throughout the planning phases and was always quick to respond to our questions. The night of our wedding, YLATT had the all of our guest dancing the entire time and we received countless feedback from our guests that YLATT was the best wedding band they have seen. YLATT also learned a few songs for us and absolutely nailed it.

Ragetastic

We knew we wanted to work with YLATT after we saw them perform at a friends wedding years before. The energy they brought to the room, the quality of their performance. We were so excited to bring them in to the fold for our special day. Fabulous to work with from start to finish, detail oriented, and just plain old fun. They brought the funk to the cocktail hour and reception tunes. Highly recommend. So very worth it. Everyone raved about them - wish we could do it all again!

Book this band!

YLATT will NOT disappoint! Book this band ASAP if you envision a packed dance floor, amazing tunes, and top quality service for a reasonable price point! Andy and the band were so great to work with throughout the planning process. After viewing their performances on YouTube and reading reviews, we knew they were the band for us, we even booked our date based on their availability! We saw them perform live twice before our big day at public shows, even during those times they had the crowd going. Our best friends who are getting married next July came with us to a show, and booked them promptly after. YLATT is not your traditional wedding band, which is what we loved about them. They play a mash up of latest hits, and classic tunes. Our dance floor was packed with our guests belting out tunes and dancing along the entire night! They were great about learning our first dance song, and playing custom music during the ceremony. They even put together an impromptu mash up during our firework show towards the end of the night, coordinating the fireworks with an amazing soundtrack! I could not recommend this band any higher, they will not disappoint, book them now!

If you want the best wedding, hire YLATT.

YLATT made our day everything we could have wanted and more. TALENT - They can play anything - literally anything- which was so important to me and my husband. I like oldies, rock, pop, jazz, r&b and they played our requested song list perfectly. YLATT interacted with us and our guests all night. People were going crazy, like it was a concert. AMAZING to work with - Andy is the best. I had a song list to see what they could play prior to booking and he highlighted all the ones that were in their repertoire (which was a ton). He was professional, funny and never made me feel like a crazy bride for asking too many questions. GREAT TIME - Our wedding was two months ago and to this day, all my guests said that the band was the highlight (and me, of course). So many people texted me the next day to ask who the band was and that made me so happy. YLATT was never cheesy, always professional, and they handle wedding planning with ease. We went to see YLATT perform throughout our engagement (in Somerville and Southie) and each time they were amazing. Andy always said hi and spoke to us during and after sets. Bands are an investment and this one is so worth it. I can't stress that enough. YLATT, thank you for giving us the best day ever.

Highlight of our wedding

When you’re looking online for band reviews, you rarely will find a band with a bad review and rather it’s more trying to find a band to match your personal style and vision. I can assure you, no matter the style and vision you have in mind for your special day (or any event), working with Andy, YLATT can pull it off.
We did our due diligence and went to see around 5 or 6 live bands including YLATT at CAPO in Southie where they pulled off getting the young crowd out on the dance floor, the entire time they where playing. What we saw was just one of their many different configurations, so we worked with Andy to find the best fit for our style and vision. After seeing them at CAPO, we wondered if they were the right band for our black tie optional wedding with a mix of both 30-somethings and 50’s + – but they DEFINITELY were. They were polished, gorgeous, and just cool. Andy is an absolute pleasure to work with and will be your POC from the initial contact to the wedding day, and EVERYTHING in between. As Andy is a member of the band, you aren’t passed off from the sales rep to the coordinator without ever having contact with the band and he will work with you to make the pricing work for both you and the band, set the style and accommodate with the band formulation to suit your needs. This is truly a one stop shop for all your event needs. YLATT provided our ceremony (guitarist), cocktail hour (two guitarists), dinner set (full 10-piece band) and an extremely versatile dancing set (full band). From the first dance to the final song with rock classics, to hip hop (classics and new age), to pop and EVERYTHING in between, they kept our guests on the dance floor all night and were beyond amazing. The #1 compliment we receive from our guests is how amazing the band was. I can’t express enough that working with one person from the beginning to end is the ONLY way to go and that Andy and YLATT is the very best band you could have for your special event.

This band.

Hire Young Love & The Thrills immediately!!! Our wedding would not have been the same without them! They have everyone dancing the entire night - even people who are not the dancing type were tearing up the dance floor. From the time they took the stage during dinner, people couldn't help but start dancing. They are such phenomenally talented musicians with such amazing range and variation in their repertoire. People are still raving to me about how amazing Young Love & the Thrills were at our wedding and how much fun they had because of them. Honestly, hands down one of the best decisions we made was to hire them as our band. Thank you YLATT for making our wedding unforgettable and so much fun!!

This band is a wedding necessity.

There is no wedding party like a wedding party featuring Young Love and the Thrills. I proposed to my wife on a Friday and was emailing this band 24 hours later because I wanted to secure them for our wedding, which didn’t even have a date yet. Before all this, I had a preconceived notion that a wedding band was a group of old people playing songs like We Are Family to a lackluster crowd, but then I saw and heard YLATT play for the first time. They’re not just a wedding band, they’re an experience – a live show where the entertainers are close enough to walk out into the crowd and join the audience. Our goal when wedding planning was to have the most people on the dance floor for as long as possible. Now that the day has passed, we’re confident we achieved that goal. Our wedding would not have been half as fun without this band. Booking Young Love and the Thrills is a necessity.

Incredible, funky, spellbinding showmen!

Young Love and The Thrills are absolutely incredible! We opted for the acoustic set during our ceremony, the jazz trio during cocktail hour, and the full band for the reception. Every bit of their performance was amazing. Not only are they all talented musicians, but they put on a spectacular show. The dinner selection set the perfect mood, and once the dancing started the dance floor wasn't empty for a single moment. Their transitions between songs were flawless and it was almost spellbinding the way they kept people on the dance floor. If I could get married and hire them again - I would do it in a heartbeat. *Every* single person at the wedding commented on how great the band was. Thank you for helping make our wedding the best day of our lives!

They brought the house down!

From the moment we found them online, we knew YLTT was the perfect band for our wedding. Our guests still tell us how great they were! From the very beginning they were incredibly easy to work with, including navigating seamlessly around a tight setup time. On the band's recommendation, we added horn players and were not disappointed! They played a lot of our favorite songs and guests were on the floor until the very last second of music. We had the best time dancing the night away with Young Love and the Thrills - thanks for helping make our night so memorable!!

Band that crushes it!

YLATT did our wedding this past weekend and they knocked it out of the park. We have seen them before and we knew that they were going to be awesome and boy did they not disappoint. They played all of the songs that we requested which was great, but the way that they engage with the guests really got things going and made it an incredible night. If you want to hire a band to do your wedding/event, you should hire YLATT. It will be the best decision that you make!

Made the party!

Everyone at our wedding was blown away by YLATT! From the moment we got in touch with them, they were friendly, so responsive, and answered all our crazy questions. Everyone (yes, even grandmothers!) were out on the dance floor. Extremely talented bunch! Someone asked if we could have an anniversary party, just so we could party with them all over again. Can't recommend enough!

Can I give YLATT more than five stars please?

YLATT came highly recommended to me from multiple people that had heard them play at other weddings, and after having them play at our July 2018 wedding, I totally understand why... they are AMAZING! We are still hearing from people months later how much they loved the music, and how much fun they had dancing at the reception. On top of that, Andy made it a breeze throughout the entire process. From the very first conversation, I knew that we were in good hands and could rest easy knowing that the music (arguably the most important part of the reception) would be handled to perfection! I wish I was planning another wedding so I could book YLATT again, and have told anyone and everyone I can how awesome they are. 10/10, highly recommend, you NEED them at your wedding!!!

There Is No Better Wedding Band Out There Than YLATT

YLATT is the best band we could have had for our wedding. They completely blew us away. They were absolutely incredible. Our guests were in awe and received so many compliments on the band. Not only are they talented, they do an amazing job MC'ing. Their performance of our first dance song, Into the Mystic, was beautiful. The entire planning process and communication with the band was super smooth and trouble-free. We went to see a YLATT show in Boston before booking them to make sure they were great. We knew immediately into the first few songs that they were the one. We and our guests agree - BEST WEDDING BAND EVER HANDS DOWN! I highly recommend these guys - extremely talented, professional, and overall awesome people to work with! Thank you for killing it at our wedding!

Best wedding band in boston!

My husband and I scoured wedding band sites/videos when we first got engaged. Young Love & The Thrills stuck out instantly! We were even able to see them in person at a bar in Somerville which confirmed that we HAD to have them play our wedding.
Andy was super responsive, helpful and supportive from the moment we reached out through our wedding day, which everyone knows is an invaluable trait of a vendor during the hectic planning process. I really can't put into words how fun, outgoing and talented YLTT is. They play the BEST songs, dance and interact with everyone. My entire family and all of our friends were blown away - all asking us for their information to book them. They ended our reception with SHOUT and it was the highlight of the night - the lead singer coming out to the dance floor and literally belting the song while jumping, dancing, lying on the ground.
My husband and I are music junkies so the band selection was super important to us. We could not have imagined a better band or experience for our reception.

Professional, Talented, Energetic - YLATT Brings the Complete Package

Young Love and the Thrills absolutely KILLED it at our wedding. They played an energized set that kept people on the dance floor and moving until the last song. From our first contact with them through the wedding day, they were incredibly professional and came as advertised. Their manager is responsive and accommodating, and the band is incredibly talented. They were energized and fun onstage during our reception, and the cocktail hour music they played was fantastic as well.We received dozens of comments from friends and family about how great our band was, and I would HIGHLY recommend YLATT for any wedding.

Just the Best

We had our wedding in June 2018 in Western, MA. Young Love and the Thrills were just the best. Communication with Andy leading up to the wedding was flawless. We were able to discuss customizing the times during which the band would play, both during dinner and during the dancing part, and request specific songs. We had two guitarists play background music during our cocktail hour and during dinner, and then Andy did a great job queuing-up toasts and announcing them during dinner. They followed our timeline to the T. On top of all of that, they were just so damn talented. They kept our wedding guests dancing like crazy all night, had incredible energy, and we since have had tons of requests from friends with upcoming weddings. We could not have asked for a better band.

The best band ever!

SIMPLY AMAZING!!! Leading up to the wedding Andy was terrific and very responsive, answered all our questions and calmed all our fears. The day of the wedding they 100% made the night! Friends told me the next day they couldn't leave the dance floor to get a drink because the music was just so good! The set Young Love and The Thrills played over dinner was so beautiful and so many of our guest were complementary. HIGHLY recommend adding the horns, they brought such a cool vibe to the night! The two lead singers, whose voices are ones of angels, were so great coming out on the dance floor later in the night and dancing and singing with our guests and so professional when doing so! Needless to say we had an absolute blast on the dance floor. They ended the night with Shipping Up to Boston which BROUGHT THE HOUSE DOWN!!!! I could not recommend YLATT more. I would pick them over and over again!

BOOK THIS BAND! My husband and I never heard Young Love and The Thrills until our wedding night. My sister recommended the band since she has heard them play a few years in a row at Deloitte holiday parties. We and our guests were blown away by how amazing they are. Some guests were shocked by some of the vocals they heard, they thought they were recordings initially! Andy was very easy to work with, very funny guy. They played everything we wanted to hear including the hip hop mix I requested. All of our guests were on the dance floor while the band played and we actually regret not booking them for longer! Thank you Young Love and The Thrills!

cannot recommend YLATT enough. They absolutely made our wedding. Everyone, young and old, was on the dance floor all night, and we are still hearing complements! Andy, our point of contact, was just fantastic. From the time we first engaged the band all the way up until the end of the evening, he was right there with us making sure our needs were met. Our event planner and other vendors really enjoyed working with them too! I must admit, I was a bit skeptical of all the 5-star reviews, but I am here to tell you that each and every star is well-deserved. They are talented, creative, and amazingly easy to work with. If you are looking for a professional, energetic band with an eclectic repertoire that cares about making your night one to remember, look no further! Book YLATT. You'll be glad you did.

Young Love & The Thrills did an absolutely incredible job performing at our wedding. By far the most frequent comments we received afterwards were related to how great the band performed. The musicians are amazing (we would strongly recommend a horn(s)), but there are two elements to Andy and the band that we feel really differentiate them from the pack. First, they do a tremendous job at reading and connecting to the crowd. Whether it’s the singer coming out onto the dance floor, understanding when to play what or managing sound levels, they just do a remarkable job at creating an experience that leaves everyone asking “who was that band?” Secondly, and perhaps most important, for those of you planning a wedding, unexpected hiccups will invariably arise as your wedding day approaches. I can tell you first hand that having someone like Andy to walk you through everything and to remain flexible is a HUGE benefit. He made us feel comfortable throughout the process and we made some last minute requests that he was able to fulfill. For those of you in the planning process, I can’t emphasize enough how much of a benefit this is – you want a good communicator and someone that cares as much as you do about your wedding. So ultimately, if you go with Young Love & The Thrills, you’re getting a band that sounds amazing, will ensure your guests have a memorable experience and will help ensure everything goes smoothly. You can’t ask for more from a band on your wedding day.

Young Love and the Thrills absolutely made our wedding celebration. Our guests couldn't stop dancing, and then during and after the party couldn't stop talking about how incredible the band was. Multiple people - myself included - felt like they were at a live concert. In addition to just being completely astounding musically, Andy and the band were great to work with, thorough and professional from start to finish. The only downside: all future wedding bands will pale in comparison.

BEST DECISION OF OUR DAY! We spent hours pouring over wedding bands before booking bc we strongly felt the music makes the night. From the get-go Andy was extremely responsive, insightful and helpful. We added the horns and we highly recommend- they just took the band that extra step that wow'ed every one of our guests. We got married in July and all of our family and friends are still commenting about how fantastic they were. From Despacito to Africa they didnt miss a beat and ALL guests were on the dance floor. IN fact, halfway through the wedding I asked them to stay an extra half an hour bc everyone was having so much fun! At the last minute I mentioned to Andy one of my cousins MAY want to sing "Bust a move" during a break and not only did he play it, but the ENTIRE band got up and backed him up-it was incredible and just further proves their talent. With all the stress and decisions that go along with planning a wedding Andy and his team delivered a flawless performance. I wish we could get married again JUST for them, it felt like a private concert! We already recommended them to another couple getting married at our same venue, jealous of what they have to come! Thanks YLATT for an amazing evening we will never forget.

At our wedding, one of our guests came up to us and said, “I didn’t realize John Legend would be singing tonight!” Young Love and the Thrills was the HIGHLIGHT of our wedding!

Andy was our point of contact throughout the process: He was professional, accommodating, communicative, accessible, organized, and beyond helpful. The band was lively, talented, energetic, fun. At one point, five members were singing at the same time! Young Love and the Thrills blew all of the other bands we looked like out of the water. Their online media and videos are true to life, and their song list is varied and full of songs for everyone. YLATT does a great job of highlighting your favorite songs and skipping those that aren’t. The band learned TWO songs specifically for us and carefully reviewed the names of the bridal party and our family. We had standing room only on the dance floor all night, and the band did a great job of playing popular songs for the older set and varying with more recent hits as the night went on. The members of YLATT are ridiculously talented, and they played a hugely wide variety of music that appeals to all audiences. All of these reviews are accurate—people came up to us all night and long after the wedding to ask about the band. We’ve already recommended them for two weddings!

Young Love and the Thrills was the best decision of our wedding.

Four months later and my guests are still raving about YLTT! These guys were amazing and had us dancing ALL NIGHT. As a wedding planner and bridal boutique owner, I was super disappointed when 3 of my favorite bands to work with were all booked for my wedding date. I ended up hearing about YLTT & went to check then out in Boston - we instantly knew they were going to be a perfect fit for us and booked them right away. It ended up being such a blessing, we were so happy with them! This group of musicians is SO talented and we are so grateful to them for being a part of our wedding. BOOK THEM!!

If you haven't booked YLATT yet, GET ON IT. I'm serious, these guys were the best investment we made in the wedding. We live in California, and were unable to see them preform live before our wedding in Maine-- I know this can be nerve wrecking, but I promise you, they will crush it. I cannot even tell you how many guests tell us they were the best wedding band they've ever seen. Some of our guests have even gone to their live shows in Boston since the wedding because they enjoyed them so much.

Andy and the team made each step of the process so easy for us, and made the night so much fun -- from the Hora, to the last song, everything was perfect. Pro tip: get.the.horns. You will not be disappointed. We even asked if my younger sister could sing a song with them, and they were totally into it.

Where do we begin!? First, book this band, they will not disappoint! It is by far the best decision we made. From the moment we contacted Andy a year before our wedding day, to the moment the final guests left, Young Love and The Thrills were professional, accommodating, and so much fun to work with (so much fun, we actually miss planning with them). We chose a less-than-traditional venue at Bayside Bowl--a bowling alley--in Portland, Maine, and Andy was quick to ease all of our concerns. They learned a few songs at our request, and they performed them to perfection. The band was great at reading the crowd; and they transitioned well from ceremony, to cocktail hour, to dinner, to our first bowl. Our guests continue to rave about their performance. Since the wedding, every guest we speak with mentions how great YLTT performed. We have several friends and family members who are planning weddings over the next few years, and we're recommending to all of them that they book Young Love and The Thrills!

When we received two unsolicited, raving recommendations for Young Love and the Thrills within a week of each other from some very trustworthy folks, we knew these guys were special and reached out immediately. Andy was incredibly helpful and communicative as we planned our Vermont wedding from across the country. YLATT are a well-oiled wedding machine and floated seamlessly from ceremony music to cocktail hour to reception without any intervention from us.

And, of course, they rocked our socks off! They pulled together an amazing set based off our musical tastes that felt personal and had all of our guests on the dance floor all night. We forgot to eat dessert because we were having too much fun.

YLATT was a highlight of our wedding. Book them ASAP!

I firmly believe that great music makes a great party.

My husband and I are super into music - we live in New York City and go to concerts all the time - so which band to hire was one of the most important decisions of our wedding. When I knew an engagement was around the corner, I started doing some covert research on bands online and poring through YLATT's YouTube account and song library. I was sold and as soon as I showed my husband, so was he. We reached out to the phenomenal Andy Wesby and booked them the second we had decided on a date. We went with a package for ceremony guitar, cocktail duo and 6-piece reception band. Through the entire planning process, Andy was incredibly responsive and helpful in answering all of our questions.

On the actual wedding day, they went above and beyond any of our expectations. As we'd planned with Andy, YLATT had learned a new song for my father-daughter dance and would stick to a list of our favorite tunes for the reception. But the day before the wedding, we had a major wrench thrown in our plans. My brother and "Man of Honor," on active duty in the Air Force, would not be able to be present at our wedding after all. I refused to accept that he would not be part of our day, so set out with a plan to have his speech streamed to the reception via big-screen TV. Even at the last second (and with normal setup and sound check to contend with), the YLATT team made sure that we could hook up to their sound system so that my brother's voice could fill the tent and he could be part of our day after all. That would have been enough to make us worship them, but they went on to play hours of high-energy, phenomenal music that our friends and families danced to all night and are still raving about 5 months later.

Young Love and the Thrills are not only a group of supremely talented musicians, they are genuinely great people with whom we were honored to share our wedding day. We cannot thank or recommend them enough.

Young Love and the Thrills (YLATT) was easily the highlight of our wedding weekend, aside from the actual act of getting married. It was really important to us that we had fabulous music/entertainment, and YLATT did not disappoint. In fact, they totally exceeded our expectations, even after having viewed their awesome video clips online. Every member of the band was extremely talented and they were all great entertainers. Hero, the lead singer, is unbelievable! They all looked like they were having an absolute blast throughout the night. They have the ability to play a variety of styles of music, and they play every style incredibly well. From the Beatles to Pharrell to Sam Cook – they knocked it out of the park. They also did a really nice job of managing the sound level in our reception under a tent. It also cannot go without saying that Andy was an absolutely pleasure to work with throughout the planning process. I had complete confidence in him because of his attention to detail, responsiveness, and his desire to make sure that the band was doing everything they could to accommodate our preferences and make our day truly special. Andy even checked in the day before the wedding, just to let me know that he was available to answer any last-minute questions or concerns. I can’t recommend YLATT enough; again, they truly were the highlight of our wedding weekend! All our guests are still talking about them now, two months post-wedding. We have absolutely NO regrets whatsoever in sharing our big day with YLATT!

Young Love & the Thrills were absolutely a dream to work with. Andy was extremely responsive, and helped us with a crew of friends go hear them at a local bar. Made it so easy and fun. Once we heard No Diggity, we were hooked and booked them.

Andy and his team worked with our budget to get us exactly what we needed for our party. They helped us play our particular tracks for the ceremony and dances, and rocked the house after dinner - literally we almost knocked the tent over. Our uncle plays the harmonica, and they let him jam with them as well. My Mother and all of her friends in attendance worked in the music industry for years and have been to countless live shows. Nothing but amazing things to say - they are so talented!

Can't say enough about Young Love and the Thrills - they kept our whole party going all night. Let's put it this way - late photos of us that night......very sweaty. Haha! Thank you!!!!

My husband and I knew we had to have Young Love and the Thrills at our wedding from the very first time we heard them. This young band is so talented and high energy! Andy Wesby was our point of contact and he was easy to communicate with and really worked with us to plan the perfect wedding. They song list the band provided was both diverse and extensive and we were able to add a few new songs to the list. The band even learned an Ed Sheeran and Machel Montano mashup for our first dance! The band members coordinated with venue staff well and were very professional. This band will always hold a special place in our hearts. We were married on April 2, 2017 and still often go to see this band perform locally.

I was really pleased with the band's professionalism and sound balance at our wedding. Their experience is such that if the wedding was going badly, you felt that they would be able to save it just by being in control of themselves and the venue. Soundwise we were very pleased, even though we didn't hire the entire band. It is difficult to play a small space without being overpowering, but they managed, and our older/elderly guests were satisfied and engaged. So a great sound without being boring. Oh my god this band is good. I mean really really good :)

Young Love and the Thrills is Amazing! We spent lot of time looking for the perfect wedding band for our wedding. When we initially saw YLTT we were blown away. They are ridiculously talented and play such a wide variety of music that appeals to all audiences. Leading up to the wedding, Andy was so great to work with. He was super responsive and helpful. On our wedding day, the band was super professional, energetic, and so much FUN!! They truly made our wedding and had everyone dancing all night long. The music selection appealed to guests of all ages- our guests continue to rave about the band and how much fun they had. We highly recommend them!

What can I say about Young Love and the Thrills - they were amazing! The had previsouly played two of my friends weddings so we knew they were great. Working with them directly in the planning of your wedding, showed me they are truly the wedding band to go with in Boston. Andy is very responsive to the needs of the bride and groom leading up to the ceremony. Their live performance during the cocktail hour and reception is truly top notch. Highly recommended!!

Young Love and the Thrills is without a doubt the best band that we could have had play at our wedding. We are still getting compliments about how amazing they were from our guests (now 3 months later). I couldn't count how many times we heard people say they were 'the best band ever'. They were incredible at playing to the crowd and keeping everyone on the dance floor the entire night. They were so great to work with - they made everything so simple without needing to make a ton of decisions while still keeping our specific wants the top priority. The music, energy, and performance were all world-class - they are incredibly talented! Even the wedding coordinator at our venue said they were the most professional and talented band she had ever worked with. We had people staying at the hotel who were trying to sneak in the back of the ballroom to our reception just to hear them!
We couldn't say enough to express how happy we were with our choice of YLATT for our wedding - by far the best decision of the night (except for actually getting married, of course!)

After considering several different wedding bands, Young Love at the Thrills became our absolute #1 choice so we were thrilled that they were available for our June 2016 wedding. From our first interaction with the band to the final song at our reception – we couldn't have been happier with Young Love and the Thrills! Firstly, working with Andy was a breeze – he was extremely professional, organized, responsive and accommodating throughout the entire process. Most importantly though, the band was INCREDIBLY talented. The band's energy, vocals, instrumentals, and range of songs all exceeded our highest expectations. In addition to nailing the wedding classics, they also played a bunch of fun songs / mashups that you wouldn't typically expect at a wedding reception (in a good way!). Everyone was dancing, singing along and telling us how amazing the band was. We honestly felt like we were at the best concert of our lives! Hiring YLATT was one of the best possible decisions we could have made while planning our wedding, and we would hire them 1,000 times over if we could do it all again!

I really cannot say enough about how amazing Young Live and the Thrills was at our wedding! They were our wedding planner's (Natalie from Whim Events) favorite band and we picked these guys from a bunch of options she suggested for us. Initially we liked the wide range of songs available on their set list - a lot of really great ones- so many we unfortunately didn't have time to hear them all! That is really my only regret about them - that we couldn't have had them play longer! Absolutely everyone was raving about how good they were. We had such a great time dancing to them - they got people old and young on their feet and they were really one of the overall highlights of the evening. I was truly blown away by how good they were.

If you can book them and you want to have a fun dance scene at your wedding then you should definitely do it! You will not be sorry! I also recommend getting their horn section! Well worth it!

If you are reading this you are probably trying to find a wedding band. Look no further, these guys are all you need. They seriously rock, they know how to read a crowd and they sound awesome. We hired them for our wedding in May of 2016 and we haven't stopped talking about them since. In fact, we still get comments from our guests about how great they were. Well-rehearsed, professional and accommodating, Andy made sure we had exactly what we needed for our cocktail hour and reception. He communicated often and there were no extra hassles during our planning process. I would highly recommend this band - they are talented, top-rated and just all-around the best.

If you don’t have Young Love and the Thrills (YLATT) as your wedding bad, you are seriously missing out!
My husband and I are both musicians, so we really wanted a live band at our wedding. Our initial searches were not all that successful; we kept finding bands that were just so incredibly corny. Finally, we came across YLATT’s videos online. We were so impressed. Not only do they play a repertoire of fantastic and popular songs from all eras, but they put their own imprint on the song without straying too far from the original. Plus, they are all super-talented musicians. We loved them so much, we hired them based just on their videos (and some email conversations with band leader, Andy).
Then, we finally got to see them live at one of their shows in Boston, and we were so excited, because they are so much better live! Their energy during performance cannot be captured on video.
During the planning process, Andy was awesome. He answered all of our (many) emails really quickly. My husband and I actually both planned to sing surprise songs to each other at the reception, and he helped us to coordinate that. We had a guitar and bass duo play for our ceremony, which was lovely, and they did a fantastic job with the two songs we asked for. During our reception, the band played the songs for both our Father-Daughter and Mother-Son dances, and they learned the song “Closing Time” for us so we could have it for our last song of the night. Our guests--from age seven to seventy--loved the music, and our dance floor was packed the whole night. YLATT made our wedding a truly fantastic PARTY.
So basically, if you want top-notch musicians playing great tunes and making your wedding more fun than you could ever imagine, hire YLATT. They will not disappoint!

Young Love and the Thrills put on a great show for our wedding and we couldn’t have asked for a better band! From the lovely music during the ceremony and reception to their amazing performance at the reception, we enjoyed every minute of their music. Their skill, talent, and experience stood out to us from the time we started planning our wedding through to the songs they played that literally had our family and friends dancing and singing to the end of the night (an even a little longer with an encore song that was special to the groom’s father!). From accommodating special requests for songs that made the night special for our families (a special Guns N’ Roses medley for my dad and a song for the groom and his aunts) to getting out on the dance floor to break it down with our friends in a dance circle, Young Love and the Thrills went above and beyond to make our day perfect.

If we could give more than 5 stars to Andy and the band we totally would! They were by far one of our favorite parts of our Wedding Day. I cant say enough wonderful things about them. We had the band play music for our ceremony, cocktail hour and our reception. Our family and friends raved (and are still raving) about how much fun they had at our wedding thanks to YLATT.
They are extremely easy to work with, very accommodating, reliable and always available to chat regarding questions/concerns (quick to answer emails). Their energy is fantastic and they definitely know how to get the crowd off their feet and onto the dance floor. Even guests who are "not dancers'"were on the dance floor all night long. We danced the night away!! We actually danced so much that our feet were sore for days!
The band took their breaks at very convenient times during the night and it was hardly noticed because they DJ'd music during those times and guests remained on the dance floor during their breaks. They are not your typical wedding band. Our wedding felt like a private concert! They have a wide variety of songs/genres to choose from and they even personalized some music for us!
If you book Young Love and The Thrills you will NOT be disappointed. They were far more than we could have ever asked for. We wish we could have another party just so we could hire them again.
Thank you Andy & the entire band for everything! Our reception was one people will remember for years to come thanks to them. This review comes with very HIGH recommendations. Easily one of the best decisions we made for our wedding.

Easily one of the best decisions we made for our wedding was hiring Young Love and the Thrills as our band. They were recommended to us by a friend who recently had them play at their wedding. We spoke with some other bands, but after a couple of conversations with Andy we decided they would be the best choice and ended up booking them without hearing them play. We saw them play a couple months later at a bar, and we were thrilled because they absolutely crushed it.
Dealing with Andy in the months leading up to the big day was extremely easy and stress free. He was on top of all of the details and got back to us quickly whenever we reached out. We added the horn section, which was somewhat late in the process, but Andy took care of it like it was no big deal. Sidenote: We HIGHLY recommend the horn section, well worth it! They learned our first dance song for us also. We were a little nervous at first because it was a country song, and there was not a lot of country on their song list. Needless to say, we loved the Young Love version better than the original.
The emcee skills were on point; David did a great job. Much like you will read in the other reviews, the dance floor was packed all night. They played a great variety of songs (oldies to rap to new stuff) and they are super talented. There really was something for everyone. It really felt like they customized the set for us based on our discussions and taste. The reception went so well that we ended up extending because no one wanted the band to stop playing. People still talk about how great the band was at our wedding. It was certainly the topic of conversation for the rest of the weekend. Also, I think my dad is trying to join the band…
We can’t thank Andy and the rest of the band enough for making our day so special. They are extremely talented and very professional. We already have some dates circled on the calendar for their public shows, because all of our friends want to go see them again!

My husband and I cannot say enough wonderful things about YLATT!! First off, they are ridiculously talented. When I was searching for wedding bands online last fall I couldn't help but feel like most were just pretty generic and honestly... pretty cheesy. Not these guys - they can play EVERY genre of music and they can really do it well! They are truly unique. Our wedding was two weeks ago and we are still getting random texts from people saying how amazing the band was, asking their name, etc. Every single guest was dancing and that's no exaggeration. They have an amazing stage presence and knew how to read the crowd and keep the party going. At the end, all of guests started chanting "one more song! one more song!" as if we were at a legitimate concert - I have never seen that at a wedding before. Amazing! Aside from them being the ABSOLUTE BEST on the actual day of our wedding, they were so so wonderful to work with leading up to the big day. When choosing wedding vendors, it's SO important to pick ones who are reliable, helpful, true professionals and just down right nice people -- YLATT checked all of those boxes and more. They accommodated all of our requests and played all of our favorite songs. We HIGHLY recommend this band!

YLATT are truly amazing and we can't picture any other band that could've captured everything we wanted for our wedding. My wife and I wanted a band that was capable of playing all of the latest hits, 90s hip hop, Yacht Rock type songs and more and these guys more than delivered. Andy was super easy to work with and was always available whenever we had any questions. He made the whole process very easy by working with us on what sort of songs we wanted to hear and then he and the band took it from there. We've been hearing nonstop since the wedding how amazing the band was from all of our guests and how they were the best wedding band they had ever heard. Choosing YLATT was one of the best decisions we could've made and anyone else who decides to do the same will absolutely not regret it! Be prepared to be on the dance floor all night long!

Young Love & the Thrills were absolutely terrific. Andy was easy to work with and he made himself available for our calls whenever we asked him. The band played our ceremony, cocktail hour and reception. They also allowed us to use their microphone and speakers for our officiant and readers. The band has high energy and they are talented musicians. They know how to work the crowd and the dance floor was full for their entire set. The music sounded phenomenal and the band had everyone dancing all night. They had a wide variety of songs for us to choose from and they played them flawlessly. They were by far the best wedding band we have ever heard and many of our guests echoed the sentiment. A lot our guests asked us where we had found the band and we were more thank happy to tell them. Anyone who hires Young Love & the Thrills will be extremely happy they did. Those who do will have a reception they will remember for a lifetime. This band is simply the best and we could not have been happier with our decision to choose YLATT for the biggest day of our lives!

Young Love and the Thrills is absolutely fantastic! From the get-go, my now-husband and I agreed that our priority was finding a great wedding band, and we found that and more with YLATT! Countless guests approached us after the night was over to say that YLATT was the best wedding band they had ever seen.

Andy was extremely responsive and professional, easy to work with, and flexible about any details or changes that came up (for example, he and the band graciously provided microphones and sound equipment for our outdoor ceremony at the last minute).

We asked them to play our ceremony (guitar), cocktail hour (three-piece), and reception (full band, plus horns) music, and we couldn't have been happier. They have an incredibly large and impressive repertoire of songs, and they're more than willing to adapt their set list to accommodate all different music tastes. They played perfect songs and fantastic medleys and arrangements, and their energy and talent got every last person at the wedding (from the youngest to the oldest) up on their feet and dancing.

YLATT is much more than a wedding band; they're real artists who clearly love working together and love what they do. I couldn't possibly recommend them more highly -- they're the best!!!

AMAZING. Seriously. Andy and all the members of Young Love and The Thrills made our wedding a day we will never ever forget!!! Everyone still asks us about them and tells us how amazing they were!!! I reached out to Andy when we were starting to search for entertainment for our wedding and was pleasantly surprised with how easy it was to set everything up. He was always very easy to communicate with and always took the time to answer my, at times, silly questions. We hired YLATT for our ceremony, cocktail hour and reception and it was honestly one of the best decisions we could have made. If you are going back and forth about whether or not to add the horn section in, just do it. Trust me. The band had everyone up on the dance floor all night, even those people who normally don't dance!!! We partied until the very last second of our reception and there were several people, including myself, who were sore the next day from dancing so much!!! Thank you so much to the entire band, especially Andy, for making our wedding day one we will never forget!!!

My husband and I want to thank YLATT a million times over for making our wedding reception the epic dance party it was! They seriously put on a show and we are still hearing about it from our guests. One couple even said they keep watching YouTube clips of YLATT because they're going through withdrawal! The band performed classical music for our ceremony, jazz during our cocktail hour and a ridiculous mix of phenomenal music during our entire reception that kept pretty much every single guest from age 6 to 82 on the dance floor ALL night. They are seriously talented and NOT your typical cheesy wedding band, and could truly appeal to any crowd. It was so great working with Andy, who was incredibly accommodating and made the entire process so easy. If we could do our wedding all over again, Andy would be the first person we'd call. All of the band members clearly have a great time together and blended perfectly with our guests. Thanks again, YLATT for making our party so legendary!!! You now have 180 new groupies.

This band was incredible! Andy is extremely easy and fun to work with. All of our guests are still commenting on how great the band was. We asked the band to do a lot - and they delivered on all fronts. We had someone playing the piano before the ceremony, we had someone control the music the wedding party entered to, we had two individuals playing during cocktail hour and of course the full band rocked out all night! Everything they did was great and it was an incredible value. I would highly, highly recommend YL&TT to anyone!

We couldn't recommend Andy and the Young Love team more! They were the hit of our wedding! They played such a great mix of songs, getting young and older guests on the dance floor and keeping them there all night long! They made the entire experience very personal for us, and felt like part of the family as opposed to just a stuffy wedding band.

If music is an important part of your big day, Young Love is the perfect choice. They are fun, energetic and personable. Best wedding planning choice you can make!

Young Love and the Thrills was exactly what we were looking for in a band for our wedding. The energy and ease they brought to the event was perfect. From day one until the day of, their flexibility was amazing and calming. They certainly know what they are doing and have a particularly high level of professionalism. We are so grateful for having them be a part of our special day and our guests felt the same way too.

These guys were incredible! Andy was extremely professional and organized as we prepared for our Block Island fall wedding. They provided us with an exhaustive list of songs that they could perform and then asked great questions on a call that we had, such as songs that were popular when we were growing up. They learned multiple songs and nailed them all. They also were able to meet two unique requests, after our wedding ceremony, we had a New Orleans themed "Second Line" march from the wedding to the cocktail hour, they had horns and played "When the Saints Come Marching in". Separately at the end of the night, the band played the Star Spangled Banner, to which everyone song along. In the middle was an amazing performance and ability to work in the crowd. The band was literally the talk of the next day and weeks amongst our guests, EVERYONE danced! These guys are great and we could not recommend them enough!

YLAT is THE best wedding band, hands down. They kept all of our guests on the dance floor all night long. I can't even count how many people came up to my husband and I and said how amazing our band was. They are all so versatile! They all sing and play different instruments! You can tell they love what they do. They are so friendly and professional. They traveled 4 hours to Maine to play for us with no hesitation. Seriously, they completed our wedding, not to mention how responsive and flexible they are too! 150% recommend YLAT!

Quite simply put, Young Love and the Thrills is the most talented wedding band ever.

Granted, I'm a bit biased since they killed-it at our wedding, but I will say that I have yet to attend a wedding with a better wedding band. From the start they were responsive & accommodating in helping us plan out the entertainment for our special night. We ironically discovered YLATT while reaching out to a different Boston based wedding band. The band was already booked and pointed us to their favorite band - YLATT. We went out for drinks to see them play live and knew instantly that we wanted them to play at our wedding. Best decision we made during the planning process.

Dave the MC pumped up the crowd and the lead singer, Hero, and the rest of the band swept everyone off their feet with their musical talents and personalities. All our guests raved about how awesome the band was; to this day they say "I can't believe you got usher to play at your wedding..." Meet Dave, and hear him pick up the beat, and you'll know exactly what they're talking about.

For any wedding, live entertainment is a must and YLATT is the band to hire for an incredibly fun night. YLATT brings so much energy & good vibes to the room. They played the right music at the right time and each song they played kept getting better.

Now stop reading reviews and book them. They are worth every penny.

Simply put, Young Love and the Thrills is the best wedding band we—and many of our guests—have ever heard. In fact, we changed our original wedding date in order to book them, quite possibly the best wedding-related decision we made. Before our wedding, our photographer got visibly excited when we told her YLATT was our band, and our venue coordinator told us that the entire wait and kitchen staff (who had seen them play previous weddings) had been stoked all week to see the band again—so much so that one cook, who was on his day off, asked to be Skyped in when the band played his favorite songs. When you hear such high praise from seasoned wedding vendors, you know you’re in for something special. Young Love and the Thrills did not disappoint--and even managed to exceed our already incredibly high expectations. After the band’s wonderfully energetic MC declared the party started, the dance floor was packed through the very last song. Our guests are still telling us about how amazing the music was and how much fun they had that night. Andy was a real pleasure to work with and a consummate professional, working with us to make sure the music reflected our tastes and personalities and happily accommodating our requests. The band nailed each of our three song requests, and even surprised us by working our names into one of our favorite dance songs! Outstanding band, fantastic people. We can’t recommend them highly enough!

YLATT was AMAZING! From the very first song to the last song the whole entire dance floor was full! They had all 230 people at our wedding up and having fun the entire time. I have never heard so many positive comments by people at a wedding toward a band. They play an extensive and diverse range of music and get everyone from the kids to the grandparents involved. The band is sexy, cool, and sound incredible. They are by far the best wedding band I have ever heard... people kept saying our wedding was the most fun they have ever had and I attribute that entirely to the band. Andy the rest of the band are so friendly and cool. They were easy to deal with, very accommodating and played off the crowd perfectly. To use any other band for your wedding is a mistake.

These guys (and gal) played our VT wedding in May and wow did they kill it! Andy (the band manager) was very communicative from the get-go and great to work with. We chose some songs from their extensive song list, but after seeing them live (in downtown Boston), we felt comfortable giving them leeway to “do their thing”. YLATT can pretty much play anything, and they do it well and with style. The leaned on the younger side of the bands we looked at and I think the youthful vigor helped keep the room dancing all night long. We also had Sean play guitar at our ceremony which was nice and Sean and Shon play at the cocktail hour. Really nice, perfect for the occasion. Would recommend it. The MC’ing also was well done (low key – not dominating like I’ve seen for some other bands).

Wow, Young Love and the Thrills absolutely made our wedding. I knew they would be good, but this was a home run. People are still talking about how much fun they had months later. The MC'ing skills kept the program going, and they combined the perfect funky mix of requests, standards, and new music to get people of all ages and sobriety dancing.

Young Love and the Thrills performed at our wedding and they were AWESOME! No one left the dance floor and it was basically a non-stop dance party. Their energy and talent was amazing. I even believe one of our guests booked them that night for her wedding . Andy Wesby was so easy to work with and accommodating with our random requests. I highly recommend them!

Andy and the gang were the highlight of our reception (aside from my wife's a cappella performance). They brought the house down again and again with their energy and skill. We requested an obscure Paul Simon song for our father-daughter dance and they absolutely nailed it, along with 2 other songs we just threw at them at the last minute. Their planning form made everything smooth, they were on time, and every single guest was blown away with the music. They stayed for a beer once their set was over, and they could not have been a better group of people. Book 'em now.

Young Love And The Thrills were amazing!!! Booking them was one of the best decisions we made for the entire wedding! We had a mix of wedding pros (my husband is a wedding DJ) and regular event attendees at our reception, and everyone could not stop saying how awesome the band was. The dance floor got started before dinner was even over! They kept our group from age 16-65 thrilled, and the dance floor never emptied. Andy could not have been more pleasant to work with. I highly highly highly recommend them!

I cant say enough great things about Young Love & the Thrills. They played at our wedding (ceremony, cocktail hour & reception) 6 weeks ago and our guests are still raving about how each song they played was better than the last. Even our photographer & videographer expressed how fun the band was. The dance floor was packed all night. My husband is a live music junkie, so we knew the band was going to be an important piece of our wedding puzzle. When we first saw YLATT perform in a bar in downtown Boston on a quiet night, we were sold. Andy, the band leader, worked with our musical tastes (a healthy mix of classic rock & funk with current pop hits) to create an amazing set list that didn't disappoint for a minute. Everyone, from our friends in their twenties to our parents & their friends, was rocking out all night. Seriously, if you're on the fence about hiring or reaching out to Young Love & the Thrills, don't hesitate! I can't wait to see them again around Boston

YLATT are amazing!! I spent the whole night dancing. Each member of YLATT is extremely talented. My guests are still commenting about how good the band was. They played a great variety, and I liked that it felt more like a concert instead of a cheesy wedding band. It was a pleasure working with them during the wedding planning process - they are professional and responsive and were able to accommodate our requests. I highly recommend this band!!!

Young Love and the Thrills played our wedding on August 31st, 2014. Leading up to the wedding, we decided that good music was going to be one of our top priorities. We first heard YLATT at West End Johnnie's in Boston. We immediately knew that they were the band we wanted to play our wedding.

Leading up to the wedding, the band was very responsive. They had a huge list of songs to pick from and they listened to all of our requests.

Six months after the wedding and all of our guests are still talking about how great the music was. once the music started, people didn't leave the dance floor all night. I would highly recommend YLATT for their energy, value, professionalism and most importantly music!

Young Love and the Thrills are an absolutely wonderful band and great group of extremely talented individuals! We were married June 20th 2014 and met this band only a few months before our wedding, while contemplating our choice of DJ or band. I would 100% recommend Young Love and the Thrills and am so happy we chose them. Not only were they professional but so much fun and knew how to entertain a large group of people withinin different age ranges! Grandparents, parents, and teenagers were all up and dancing the while night. Andy, the band manager, worked closely with us and our wedding planner to make sure they delivered the type of experience we were looking for on our big day. You won't go wrong choosing Young Love and the Thrills!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Young Love and the Thrills! If you want to dance the night away to a band full of energy with a great sound you need to hire this band! Andy made the booking process so easy and the band even learned a song for us to end the night on. Our wedding guests are still telling us how amazing our band was. I honestly don’t know what else to say other than my 92 year-old grandmother was dancing to “Ignition” and I had to soak my feet in my hotel tub on my wedding night because they were filthy from dancing barefoot to Young Love and the Thrills amazing sound! You have to book this band!

Aside from getting married, booking Young Love and The Thrills was the best decision we made on our wedding day! My husband and I knew we wanted to celebrate our nuptials with a big party with all of our favorite people and YLATT made that vision a reality for us. From the start, Andy could not have been more pleasurable to deal with. He was extremely attentive with email correspondence and made sure to accommodate any and all requests we had throughout the planning process (one being singing happy birthday to my 90 year old grandmother!).

On a day to day basis, my husband and I enjoy a wide range of musical genres from all different decades. We wanted the music at our wedding to reflect this and YLATT more than delivered with classic jams by Johnny Cash to more recent hits by Rihanna. The evening began with a duo playing a great set of songs at our cocktail hour and then the real party began as YLATT started their dinner set with our all time favorite song by Talking Heads- "This Must be the Place". People immediately flocked to the dance floor and I can honestly say from that moment forward people did not stop dancing. YLATT kept the crowd going all night long and it was so much fun dancing the night away with all our guests. We even spotted an uncle attempting to do the worm! The day after our wedding we held a brunch for our guests and everyone could not stop talking about how much they enjoyed YLATT.

YLATT is such a talented group of musicians who know how put on a great show. It will be one of the best investments you'll make on your wedding day. I wish I could rate them higher than 5 stars!

This is the best decision you could make for your wedding day! This band is AMAZING!!!!! Every guest could not stop talking about how talented and fun they were! Every guest was on the dance floor all night!!! Quotes from guests: " This is the best wedding band EVER!", " You guys should have called the Police department because the band absolutely killed it!" I could go on and on with similar quotes. Great to work with, professional, and FUN! If a higher rating was available to give, they deserve it!!!

When it came to planning my wedding (September 2014), I as the groom had one major duty: find a killer band. From the first contact I had with the band's leader, Andy, I knew that I was dealing with serious professionals. Andy quickly responded to my inquiry and suggested that I attend a local show to check them out, which my then fiancée and I did (West End Johnnie's in Boston). I'm not exaggerating in saying that we were ready to sign whatever they wanted after hearing a single song. Their ability to play all of the classic wedding songs combined with a wide range of contemporary hits you hear on the radio, often seamlessly integrated through fun transitions, was immediately evident and their unique style makes for a sound that will appeal to any guest, young or old.

With all that we had to worry about leading up to the wedding, the band was not even a remote concern. Andy promptly checked-in throughout the summer to make sure that we provided him with our dances and general likes/dislikes, and he did not miss a beat when we decided to start working with a day-of wedding coordinator approximately a month before the event. The band was flexible in working with our venue: we had a barn and a tent so we requested that they transition three times: from a stripped down set outside, to a similar set in the tent, to a full band performance in the barn to close the night. It ultimately felt like they were willing to bend over backwards to make anything we wanted work. Serious professionals.

Without exaggerating, we have been told for the last few weeks that our wedding was one of the best our guests have ever attended, in no small part due to the band. Nearly every compliment I get about the wedding starts with "Where did you find that band?" and I know at least two guests who plan to contact Andy for their own forthcoming nuptials. Hopefully I get to attend to see the band, err, I mean to see my dear friends get married...

Young Love & the Thrills killed it at our wedding in August. We had a very unique rooftop wedding, it was the first time the venue was holding a wedding and the band had a lot of variables to work with but they were very flexible. Andy was a great point person, he was very communicative, got back to me same day as any email I sent him. I asked him to do a walk through of the venue with us and he was happy to oblige. We actually booked them without ever hearing the female vocals live and were blown away on the day of once we heard them all together. They learned the songs we requested during the ceremony, played soothing music during the cocktail and reception, and when the reception started they played some older stuff to get the parents up and dancing but as soon as I asked them to flip to more current songs they did it in a second. The singers mixed in on the dance floor and became a part of the party. One person asked me at the wedding if we hired Usher - enough said!

Want to guarantee an awesome wedding? Hire YL&TT!

If you are thinking of having music at your wedding, HIRE THIS BAND. I cannot emphasize that enough. Young Love and The Thrills eliminate the DJ versus live band debate. They have the skills and the showmanship to get ANY crowd on the dance floor, and keep them dancing the entire night. There are no lulls and there are no awkward transitions; they can make musical changes on the fly, and leave no genre behind.

Not only are they musically gifted, they have personality, announcing your wedding party with vigor and dancing with the crowd mid song.

Aside from the amazingly talented band, Andy is fabulous to work with. If you have any questions or concerns, not just about the band, but planning in general, he is a consummate professional; always available with a quick answer and a sense of humor. He will connect with your venue, photographer, and other relevant vendors, and make sure the entire process on their end is seamless. He will also check in regularly to make sure everything is going well.

If you want great music, a packed dance floor, a smooth planning process, and fabulous memories, look no further. Young Love and The Thrills will deliver all that and more.

My husband and I knew Young Love and the Thrills would be amazing, but they were even better than we imagined! All of our friends and guests have been praising the band for weeks after the wedding. (Guests ranging in age from 25-75 were impressed with their music).

YLATT plays the most incredible range of music - They'll put a spin on a song from the '50s and then transition seamlessly to one of today's hits. They did our ceremony, cocktail/dinner, and dance music - their selection was perfect and appropriate. They really turned it up for dancing and all of our guests packed the dancefloor after dinner. They put a spin on their songs (mash ups, etc.) and make each one their own. I'm not someone who loves Rap music, but the groom insisted that they play a selection, and it was AWESOME! I'm so glad we let them do their thing. The band is so talented and moves between different instruments, lead vocals, back up vocals, etc. All of the band members were so involved with the crowd, and they just made the night so fun. It was truly one to remember!

I wouldn't call YLATT a 'wedding band' - it was like attending a concert. I would honestly go see them at any venue. We had the best time - they were so entertaining and we loved dancing to their music.

Not only is the band extremely talented, but they are also just awesome people. We even enjoyed hanging out with them after the wedding. They were truly a pleasure to work with from the beginning of the process to end. I wouldn't have changed a thing, and that's a really great feeling!

It has been about 5 months since our wedding (this review is long overdue) and our friends and family have not stopped talking about how amazing our wedding band was! I couldn’t agree with them more, as I did not stop dancing the second the music started playing!

Andy, the band’s point of contact, was great to communicate with and very helpful with the planning process! He was also VERY accommodating, I had a few songs that I wanted them to play that where not on their song list and Andy was happy to fill these requests. In fact, he even offered to sing my father/daughter dance, “The Rainbow Connection”, in Kermit’s voice! I opted for his regular singing voice, but halfway through the song my dad shouted “Kermit!” and Andy finished the song with his spot on Kermit impression! That made our dance that much more special.

The band knew how to get the party started and keep it going ALL night long. They played a great variety of music that had everyone on the dance floor, including our priest! They were so engaged with all of our guests, from jumping off stage to dance with us, to letting our cousin sit in as a guest drummer during Journey’s Don’t Stop Believing! Also, the band was totally cool with our best man hoping up on stage asking to play one more song, so they finished out with Biz Markie’s “Just a friend” with our best man on stage playing air guitar and singing along!

Needless to say, Young love and the thrills were the reason why my husbands and I reception was so much fun! We are so happy that we chose this band for our wedding, and highly recommend them to anyone in the market for a wedding band you will not be disappointed!

This review is long overdue because I have countless words of praise for Young Love and The Thrills! Our wedding was June 7th in Cohasset, MA at the Cohasset Harbor Inn. Young Love and The Thrills was recommended to us by a family friend. We pulled up their website and fell in love instantly. All of the songs on their sample reel were fun, fresh, upbeat and absolutely NOT cheesy wedding singer-esque!

We called “Band Andy” right away and had a great conversation. He was genuine, laid back, very professional and very sincere about wanting to make our wedding great! We had a few concerns about the amount of available space for a band at our venue. Andy called up the onsite wedding coordinator directly to go over all of the details to insure that we could make it work. We booked them within a few days without a second thought.

Their sound is tight and each member of the band is an extremely talented musician in their own right. Two guitarist played outside at the cocktail hour and really set the tone for the relaxed, beachey elegant feel we were going for. After our first dance to a Stevie Wonder song the rest of the night just took off. The mixture of oldies, with a Jazz standard dinner set and the newer dance hits was a perfect blend. A few classic wedding songs were thrown in the mix along with some personal favorites of ours.

With their range of talent and repertoire of songs they can accommodate any audience (for any event). They are not a canned, ready to order wedding band. They truly have a vested interest in making sure the night is unique to your personal style and full of fun. They know how to read the crowed and get everybody dancing. They showed up (dressed to impress might I add!) and took command of the stage.

Second to marring my best friend, the most incredible feeling in the world on my wedding day was when I stopped, looked around and saw a room full of empty chairs because every single solitary guest was on the dace floor.

I don't even know where to start with how great this band is!!!

My husband and I could not wait to write this review! They had everyone on the dance floor from the second they played their first note to the very end of the night! They had everyone of every age on the dance floor! They are so fun, young and hip and really know how to interact with the guests. You don't get that cheesy wedding band vibe at all!! I've gotten endless compliments about them. They made my wedding day so much better than your average wedding and I could not have been happier with my choice!!!

They were SO easy to work with! We were able to meet with Andy in person before the wedding and really get on the same page with what we wanted to hear. They were so flexible and willing to do anything we asked.

They are worth EVERY penny!! I cannot wait to see this band again, and I really hope I get to see them at another wedding!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!!!!

Young Love and the Thrills were amazing! They made our wedding the best party anyone has ever been to! Everyone was dancing and singing along all night the dance floor was packed! They were super helpful when making playlists and very professional! I recommend them to everyone planning a wedding!

You can not go wrong with Young Love & The Thrills! My wife and I were blown away by these guys when we saw them, under a different name (Now and the Forevers,) performing at a wedding showcase (BE Wedding Entertainment.) Unfortunately we experienced a bunch of bs while trying to deal with BE and found them to be dishonest and unprofessional to work with. Some things went on (that we were lucky to catch,) and despite the drama, what formed was Young Love & The Thrills.

Although we had a bad taste in our mouths from dealing with the vender and a former band member (from their previously mentioned band,) Young Love & The Thrills restored all confidence by being an absolute joy to work with. Talent is talent and fun is fun, these professionals have both! Andy Wesby and the rest of the band are much more than an amazingly talented group of musicians; they're honest, genuine, fun, down to earth, real and legitimately good people!

The band took us through our reception soup to nuts playing our cocktail hour, dinner and well into the night. They mixed in songs that we had requested them to learn, bringing the house down with "Drink in my Hand" by Eric Church. They also did a wonderful job of mixing in some tracks played by their DJ, who played the last hour of our wedding.

We had so much fun with these guys, and our guests can't say enough good things about them as well. Do yourself a favor and book these guys before everyone else does! And go see them play live around the city, you'll have a blast doing so and your wedding band decision will be made!

Mike and Jamie

ps. Can't wait to come and see you guys play Summer in the City at Boston Harbor Hotel!

SO. MUCH. FUN.

We had the pleasure of working with Young Love and the Thrills in May 2014 for our wedding at Brooksby Farm in Peabody, MA. Honestly, there is nothing more you could possibly ask for in a wedding band.

My fiancé and I love to check out local cover bands, so choosing one for the wedding was going to be a feat. But once we saw YLatT... They truly blew the competition out of the water. They are operating on a whole separate plane from any other group we've seen in the area.

YLatT is comprised of incredibly talented musicians. This is no fly-by-night cover band. They have been playing together for years (the keyboardist and drummer were in a band prior to this, dating back I think 15 years?) and it shows in their chemistry and synchrony. Each member of the band is unbelievable. They also have a dedicated sound tech who stayed all night, so they sounded great in the reception space.

They had an amazing range, from classic wedding tunes (At Last) to 80s favorites (Don't Stop Believin') and modern hits (Blurred Lines). Any genre, they were all over it.

They sent us the full song list a few months before the wedding and let us have a lot of freedom is choosing the songs we knew our friends and family would love. And like I said, you can't go wrong. They are experts at all of them.

Importantly: FUN! In addition to being excellent musicians, these guys knew how to work a room. They were just having a blast the whole time, and their enthusiasm was contagious.

We also had the guitarist, Sean, play for our ceremony as we walked down the aisle. It was way easier than trying to coordinate yet another musician(s), and he did a great job. The band was also able to lend us a mic and an amp for our outdoor ceremony.

All of our guests raved about the band, and it's still the most mentioned part of our day. Really, we couldn't have asked for a better group. We totally recommend them to anyone looking for a super fun, talented band!

Wow, where to start...Young Love and The Thrills (Formerly Now & The Forevers) played at our wedding this past December (2013), and we could not have asked for a better band! They were on time, well prepared, organized, professional, talented, well equipped, and mostly importantly, all the band members were so much fun!

In addition to the many qualities I just described, here are some of the awesome things you can expect from this band: Exceptional musical talent, beautiful male/female voices, jaw dropping guitar solos, and exceptional keyboarding/synthesizing. They smoothly transitioned between slow and fast songs in an elegant and appropriate manner. Towards the end of the party, the band even threw in a custom song medley for us with our names in it! That was just great! Here is another detail that really shows how much they care about your wedding and how smoothly it goes; Shannon (lead singer) spent the whole afternoon before the ceremony rehearsing the pronunciation of the names for the wedding party! Wow...

WARNING: You WILL NOT be able to STOP dancing and pumping! :)

It's been 2 months since the wedding, and my wife and I still receive compliments from our guests in regards to the band! We almost want to throw a random party just to have them play for us!

If you are still deciding which band to have in your wedding, do yourself a favor and stop wasting time, go with Young Love and The Thrills and they will entertain your wedding to the max!

Thank you 1000 times Shannon, Andy, Jon, David, Sean, and Shon!

This band delivered every word of their promise on our wedding day. Our guests are still talking about our September wedding because this band made it a wedding-themed concert just for me and my husband (and our 150 nearest and dearest). Marrying a musician / sound engineer I am surrounded by musicians regularly and we were completely in awe of their talent and enthusiasm. People are good at their jobs but this band BROUGHT IT! Even the announcements were engaging and the various groups of guests were dancing the night away. You should hire this band if you want to jump up and down on your hotel bed the morning after your wedding with your husband shouting "We had the perfect wedding!" because yes, that is what we did ;)

Amazing Wedding Experience

My wife went to a wedding where she heard Young Love and the Thrills play and we knew that it was the band that we needed to get for our wedding. They absolutely did not disappoint. Andy and the rest of the band were very professional and worked with us to make sure every detail was perfect. The performance was awesome - they really made the dinner set work well for the setting and the dance portion was great. They engaged the guests and really brought the place down. People are still telling me how much they loved the band and I have other friends who are getting married that asked for their number. I would recommend them for any type of wedding as they have that much range.

Best band ever

We booked YTATT the day after we got engaged because we knew we needed them to play at our wedding. They were amazing and all the guests could not stop raving about how great they were. Everyone was up and dancing from the first song to the last! Extremely talented and upbeat. Would recommend them to anyone who loves great music and a good time!

Young Love and the Thrills absolutely made our wedding! We had seen them at another wedding and they made it a great party. We looked at other bands, but it quickly became clear YLATT were our first choice. They packed the dance floor the entire night and everyone raved about them! The music was spot on for the ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner set, and dancing. We added horns which was worth every penny. We found Andy to generally be responsive, and his planning tool was really useful to help us figure out what music we wanted and how we wanted the night to go. We highly recommend Young Love and the Thrills!

From the very moment we started wedding planning, there was no question that having a kickass band was far and away the number one priority. We wanted a group that was closer to our age than our parents’, was 100% devoid of cheese, could play songs that ran the gamut from Paul Simon to Biggy, had a brass section, and was fairly priced. We nailed it with YLATT. They’re just… cool. Perfectly suited to couples who aren’t crazy micro-managers and are able to place their trust in a band who really knows what they’re doing – i.e. veterans with the experience not to sweat the small stuff. Partying with them was like having seven extra wedding guests who happened to know how to bring down the house with “No Diggity.” This might seem like a cliché of wedding band reviews, but literally every single one of our 180 guests, from college friends to young cousins to my mom’s boss were sweating bullets on the dance floor from the time the band started up until the very last song, at which point the entire group started chanting for them not to stop. My only regret was that we couldn’t have bent the local rules to go even later into the night. Highly recommend.
