    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!

    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!!!!

    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.

    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!!

    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!

    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!

    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!!

    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.

    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!

    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.

    From the beginning- amazing. Open communication, they delivered more than what they promised. Young love and the thrills made our wedding! They killed it! The energy was fire- perfomance- beyond expectations!

    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!!

    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!

    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.

    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!

    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!

    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!!!

    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.

    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!
