Boston Common Band

I don't even know where to start. I cannot say enough AMAZING things about this band. They are by far thee best wedding band I have ever seen. They are not only incredible musicians, but put on quite a show when on the stage! Each member has such a unique personality they bring to the overall performance, and several times throughout the night the band got down on the dance floor to entertain and teach different dances. Not to mention the DJ that comes with it! It truly is the best of both worlds... My husband wanted a DJ and I wanted a band so this was the PERFECT compromise. I HIGHLY recommend them, they sound EXACTLY like the artists who actually sing the songs and the musicians are incredibly talented. Hire them, it's the best decision you can make to ensure that your wedding is a blast!

"Best of Boston" is an understatement! The BCB was one of the best decisions my husband and I made during our planning process. From the beginning, they were very professional and absolutely wonderful to work with. The wedding itself was a blast and my guest are still raving about them! All I keep hearing is "your wedding was amazing", and I can honestly say that a lot of it had to do with the BCB. They are more than musicians - they are entertainers! Our wedding was like a live concert and everyone had front row! I look forward to recommending them for year's to come, and I feel lucky to have had them part of our big day!

Each member of the band, the manager, and the DJ they brought with them were FANTASTIC - they read the crowd, played a great mix of new hits and classic favorites and kept the guests on their feet. Even after they performed their requested encore song, everyone kept chanting 'one more song' - we couldnt get enough of them! The entertainment can really make or break and event, and if youre looking for a talented, professional, kick-ass band, Boston Common is for you!!

We just had our outdoor wedding a couple of weeks ago and had Boston Common Band at our event. They were AMAZING! I honestly cannot say enough about them. From the minute I contracted with them to play at my wedding, they were nothing but professional and easy to work with. They called me/emailed me plenty of times before the wedding just to "check in" with me. They were quick to respond to any questions that I had prior to the event. Right before the big day they spent a long time giving me suggestions on song choices..which were all perfect by the way! The band even learned to play the songs for my first dance and the dance with my father! And during the wedding, they did not disappoint! Sometimes we couldn't tell if it was the Band signing or the actual song. Other songs they put their own great spin on it. People from the wedding are still coming up to me and asking "who was that great band" and that "the band made the wedding!". I couldn't agree with them more. The dancefloor was packed from dinner until the last dance. So to any bride to be out there that is wishing for the perfect band to add fun, excitement and great music to their night, book The Boston Common Band. It will be the best decision you ever made. Wedding date- August 13, 2011

BOSTON COMMON BAND IS THE BEST BAND EVER! The band had everyone up and dancing...even people who I thought for sure would be stuck to their seats all night. We continually heard comments from guests throughout the night, "this is the best wedding band I have ever heard", "i have never had so much fun dancing", " all the musicians are really talented." We decided to add in two horns (trumpet and sax), and wow...absolutely amazing! Even our photographer commented that they were one of the best bands he has ever heard (and I can only imagine how many wedding bands he hears). Bottom line - you can't go wrong with Boston Common Band, they will not disappoint!

The Boston Common Band was an INCREDIBLE wedding band! Prior to the big day, the were extremely professional and attentive to work with, and they had everyone dancing from start to finish during the reception. I had so many people come up to me after the wedding to let me know this was the BEST wedding band they had ever heard. Boston Common Band exceed our expectations, and every bride/groom should feel confident this band can carry the party from start until finish.

We can’t say enough about this band!! They were reasonably priced, included a DJ (DJ Josh Boogz was awesome!), and also provided cocktail hour music. We had some fun/creative requests, and they were so accommodating. The dance floor was packed all night, and our guests are still raving about them! You cannot go wrong with Boston Common at your wedding!

Boston Common Band rocked! Not only were they easy to get in contact with, they were so flexible with song choices, and just a lot of fun.

We heard of the band from a friend who had been a guest of a wedding they performed at and said they were awesome. From our first consultation with the band, we knew we had made the right choice. They are absolute professionals (musicians and DJ) and helped us manage every aspect of our special day..... making it absolutely stress-free. DJ Shyne was a great MC and such a pleasure to deal with as was Jonathan and the rest of the band..... just awesome people!!! The music was great and they kept folks up and dancing for the entire evening. We got so many comments afterward about how great the band was. They certainly helped make our wedding memorable. Finally, we really feel this was such a good value. We got so much for our money (piano music during cocktail hour, a DJ during dinner who also served as MC and an unbelievable band with spectacular lighting and equipment!). We would recommend Boston Common Band to anyone.

5 stars is not even enough to rate how great Boston Common is. They were so amazing at our wedding. They learned three songs for us one of which was a super old song and they played it like it wasn't even a challenge. It sounded better than the original. Everyone was up and dancing the whole time, including the older folk!! I couldn't wish up a better band than Boston Common. I HIGHLY recommend that you hire this group for your wedding you will NOT regret it.

The Boston Common Band was absolutely fantastic! We were nervous because we were planning the wedding remotely and have never seen the band live before. Based on some YouTube videos, we felt the band fit the bill and signed them. Boy were we pleasantly surprised on our wedding night! The band was incredible and all of our guests talked endlessly about how great the band was. Everyone in the band was very professional and the entire night went smoothly. I can't remember a moment when people weren't out there dancing. One special thing the band did was learn the First Dance song even though we had no idea they were playing it live. We only told them what the song would be about a week before the wedding! Thank you guys so much for doing that and for making our wedding a very memorable one!

We are delighted to have made the decision to use the fantastic Boston Common band and superb DJ Josh Boogz for our wedding and encourage anyone to do the same for any event that you might be planning. Their performance can be described in many superlatives, but only one is really necessary...PERFECT! When you still have people mentioning that the band and wedding were the best that they've ever attended over three weeks after the event and asking for the band's contact details for their engaged friends to use, then you can see the kind of incredible impression and wonderful memories that they left with our guests. We thought that trying to decide upon which band to use for our wedding would be a difficult and long process, but after having attended one of their open shows listed on their website http://www.bostoncommonband.com/, it was immediately clear to us that we knew we wanted them to be our band for the wedding. They had perfect sound & volume control of the venue they were operating in and their vocal range on both current and classic songs was perfectly executed. They performed excellent covers that left no one wanting for the original, and no one sitting in their seats, when we saw this in the bar where we viewed them, we knew that if they could command this stage like they are, they would surely be perfect for our wedding, and they were. Manager Jonathan Wiegratz was extremely helpful and professional throughout the entire process and answered all our questions and requests very quickly and Dj Josh Boogz ran our event smoothly with tremendous organization, enthusiasm and great skill. It really helped to have both a DJ and band working in tandem throughout the night, as the night continued to flow without any interruptions and energy, and they coordinated seamlessly with our caterer/event manager to make the event roll on without any pauses. The band was able to fulfill our request to learn a song for our first dance and the two lead singers were showstoppers throughout the night. Their lighting was a lifesaver as we hadn’t really planned for much of it ourselves and people commented on how cool the effects look on our outdoor tent. The Boston Common band were great fun, very friendly and provided us with an atmosphere that we could only have dreamed of at the start of the planning stages. They really are an exceptionally talented group of musicians and when you are able to maintain people dancing from ages 5 to 80 (often at the same time) in over a 4 hour period, and have the guests still dancing and demanding more, then you know that you are in the presence of greatness. Even more than being able to get all age ranges of people onto the dance floor, a true testament to their talent was that they were able to get our group of 30 folks from the UK (who don’t listen to the same popular artists on their radios) dancing alongside the US residents, to our classic songs such as Journey’s ‘Don’t Stop Believing’ and to Black Eyed Peas ‘I Gotta Feeling’. And I don’t mean they were just trying to get the beat and shake their waist around to the rhythm, I mean they were jumping around & fist pumping along with the locals, trying to bring their own kind of sexy back from England. This band was so good, the whole night long, that our very expensive and delicious selection of dessert items went relatively untouched as everyone was on the dance floor instead of idly mingling around the food. THAT good. The band had been highly recommended to us when we were looking around Boston for a group to use for our wedding and we feel that we owe it to them to provide them with as glowing a testimonial and as positive a recommendation as we can provide, as they really surpassed our expectations and made our wedding an incredible and unforgettable experience for us and our guests!

The Boston Common Band made our wedding complete. They are all such talented musicians not to mention amazing people. They made our planning for our wedding day completely stress free. We didn’t want your typical wedding where there is a first dance, people are announced, a set play list, speeches etc. We wanted this to be a true party with no interruptions. We told this to the band and also to the DJ and they totally ran with it. All they needed to know were a few musicians who we loved and they took it from there. Every song they played was better than the one before. Both the DJ and the Band made our wedding so unforgettable not only for us but also for our guest. So many people asked me where I found them and that they had never been to a wedding where they actual loved the band and DJ. The care takers of the sea side retreat that was our wedding venue told us the next day that so many of his neighbors had stopped by to ask about the band and to say how amazing they were and how they danced on their own porches that night because the breeze carried the music to their homes. It’s so rare to find a band that appeal to the bride and groom and also to the older guest and the younger guest. We were a hard crowd to please as we had a mix of Bostonians, New Yorkers and Europeans and yet they hit the nail on the head with a perfect night!!!! I would recommend this band a million times over and if I had to do my wedding over again I would pick them and all their choices of music every time!!! Just outstanding!!

These guys are really wonderful-SO organized, responsive, easy to deal with and sincerely nice people. The combo of the band + DJ REALLY makes the night so much fun--they are really talented and you never have any down time at all with DJ Shyne there to mix beats between sets! The entire wedding was up and dancing and having a BLAST the whole time--they were sincerely awesome.

The Boston Common Band and DJ were fantastic at our wedding. We had piano playing during the cocktail hour which also offered great entertainment. We couldn't have asked for a better band to play our wedding. Everyone raved after the wedding about how fun, professional, and exciting Boston Common Band was. The band was exactly how we imagined. Highly recommended!!

We heard of this band through word of mouth. We live out of state and viewed many of their video's online. After speaking with the band, I knew we had made the right choice. We booked this band even before we booked our wedding hall. During and after the wedding we continue to get complements on how good the band was. DJ Shyne as DJ and MC kept the party moving all night and we cannot say enough good things about them both. If you're in the New England area and looking for a band. Look no further, book them before they're booked up. Thanks again Guys!! - Chrissy and John

Absolutely fantastic! We were absolutely thrilled. Very easy to work with.

great band. kept the placing dancing all night long. when the band took breaks the DJ took over so there was never down time. everyone had a great time.

EXCEPTIONAL! My husband and I spend a lot of time and energy to find the "perfect band" for our wedding. We contacted several agencies, and invested a lot of effort including many painful hours of watching wedding bands on youtube! Don't waste your time...these guys are hands down the way to go! I am a wedding photographer and attend an increadible amount of weddings each year. I have seen and heard wedding bands all the way from the Carolinas to New England and feel that without a doubt these guys are of the highest quality. From my first conversation with Jonathan on the phone I knew there was something different about this band. He made a few simple suggestions that obviously came from experience and had a unique insight into how a wedding should smoothly flow. This is what caught my immeadiate attention, then I discovered how talented the band is. Jonathan very much focused on the small details which in the end are crucial to a successful party. There wasn't a moment at our reception that people weren't dancing and fully entertained thanks to the well thought out timeline. Jonathan informed me that his dad was also in a wedding band and his exposure to the industry and profession came at an early age, and it was quite apparent. Boston Common Band has plenty of experience and a fresh and energetic vibe! These guys are VERY talented and full of knowledge about sound quality and also their wide variety of genres. Jonathan was very accomodating and at our initial meeting at our venue he was checking the acoustics in the room(our reception was in a large atrium that had a ton of glass and marble-not an easy venue to play) and making sure that everything would be of highest quality. I was given a few simple suggestions as to what I could do in a cost-effective way to make the room more music friendly! I was then introduced to DJ Shyne who was an absolute delight to work with! I consider myself to have very vast and specific taste in music. If I had a request (from Biggie to Talking Heads) it was played, even mixed! DJ Shyne spend a lot of time customizing our playlist and giving me excellent suggestions that were very appropriate to our tastes. I was that bride that didn't hesitate to ask a ton of questions and get very specific with my needs, and they were all satisfied and exceeded by Boston COmmon Band and DJ SHyne. I was even changing things up until cocktail hour! They nailed it all and didn't miss a beat... Our first dance was Jason Mraz's song "lucky" and it was absolutly on point. These guys are worth far more than they charge. I considered bands that were much more expensive and found that they don't even come close to the quality experience you get with these guys! I know that my guests were blown away because my phone hasn't stopped ringing with rave reviews about our party! Do yourself a favor and hire this band. I couldn't have asked for a better person to work with than DJ SHyne- this guy has got it going on....polite, knowledgable, and very talented. If i was doing it all over again, I would undoubtedly be having Boston Common Band at my event! My wedding ROCKED!

Awesome band and awesome music
