Nick and the entire American Midnight band was one of the highlights of our wedding! We could not recommend them enough, both for their incredibly thoughtful and thorough planning ...
approach and help leading up to the day, and for their unmatched energy on our wedding day to bring all of our guests out onto the dance floor. Nick made it so easy to think through all of the decisions that we needed to make, and provided really helpful advice and insight that made us feel comfortable ahead of the day. Our guests couldn't stop raving about how great they were and we didn't want the party to end!!

We hired American Midnight before we picked our date and venue...need I say more? Nick went through every detail with us (more than once) to ensure every moment had the right tune....
Not only did the band learn songs for us, they invited us up on stage to perform with them! They f*cking rock, best money I ever spent.
Any questions?

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The Best Wedding Band We Could Have Ever Asked For
We hired American Midnight for our wedding, and it ended up being one of the very best decisions we made. They didn’t...
just play our wedding—they elevated it. The energy, the professionalism, the talent, and the genuine joy they brought to the day were unforgettable.
From the start, working with Nick was incredible. As the bandleader, emcee, lead singer, pianist, and even harmonica player, he was the heartbeat of the night. Nick kept the energy high, got the crowd fully engaged, and made everything feel effortless. Throughout the planning process, he was responsive, kind, and so easy to work with. By the time the big day arrived, he felt more like a friend than a vendor—and he truly was the best vendor we hired.
The entire band deserves the highest praise:
• Sara, the female vocalist, was phenomenal. Her voice is powerful, emotional, and absolutely electric. She blew us and our guests away.
• Joules on guitar was unreal—amazing musicianship, incredible stage presence, and constantly interacting with the crowd. She kept everyone on the dance floor and made the night feel like a true concert.
• Luke on bass was rock solid all night. He brought such a warm, full energy to the music and helped keep every song moving perfectly.
• Marie on saxophone was unbelievably talented. Her solos were show-stopping and added a level of sophistication and excitement that our guests are still talking about.
• Dylan on drums was pure energy and kept the heartbeat of the night going. His timing, enthusiasm, and presence elevated every single song.
• Sean, the sound engineer, deserves a ton of credit too — the mix was perfect all night, the transitions were seamless, and the music was pumping without ever overwhelming the room.
American Midnight handled our ceremony music, cocktail hour, and reception with total professionalism and artistry. Every moment felt thoughtfully crafted and perfectly executed. We’ve heard from countless guests who said it was the best wedding band they’ve ever seen, and we couldn’t agree more.
If you’re considering American Midnight for your wedding, do it. They will take your event to a completely different level. We can’t recommend them highly enough.

We absolutely loved working with American Midnight band for our wedding! From start to finish, they were incredible. They are so talented, detailed-oriented, and genuinely invested...
in making our day perfect. They met with us multiple times leading up to the wedding to make sure every moment was exactly as we envisioned it.
On the day of, they created the most joyful, engaging and fun atmosphere for us and our guests. We had so many people come up to us afterwards, and days following the wedding, saying how amazing the band was and how much they enjoyed the music!
We couldn't have asked for a better band to be apart of our special day. Truly phenomenal. Highly, highly recommend!

he band was amazing with all of the variety of music they played and they brought so much energy to the night. They played the perfect mix of music after getting to know us and our crowd in our planning meetings and I don’t think anyone left the dance floor all night!
From planning through to the wedding, Nick was incredibly professional, and accommodating - while also making planning fun! He went above and beyond coordinating with our venue and other vendors to make sure everything was perfect for our big day. Our wedding space was unique, with each part of the night in a different space, and he was so helpful in bringing our vision to life of having the music flow throughout the night!
Thank you American Midnight Band for making our wedding perfect and so fun!! Absolutely book them for your big day!

So much more than a reception band!! The band leader Nick was professional, helpful, and so fun to work with. Of all our vendors he was the most hands on, which made the planning p...
rocess so much easier. The live acoustic music during the ceremony and cocktail hour really elevated the vibe of our day, and Nick kept the timeline and energy flowing as MC. And the reception ROCKED! Our guests were so impressed and the dance floor was never empty! Great crowd work too, they even let me join them on stage! The cherry on top was the Instagram reel they produced of the day - videography too?? They do it all!! Book this band, they’re the best in the biz.

And Nick and the entire American Midnight band did NOT disappoint!! They absolutely crushed it and kept the entire dance floor going the entire night. We’ve heard from multiple people that they were the best wedding band they’d ever heard and we couldn’t agree more! They made us feel so special and taken care of our entire wedding day and truly made our night the most magical, FUN, special night of our lives.

Chris and I got married on June 28th, 2025. Nick Russo and American Midnight made not only our special day perfect, but the entire planning process fun and easy! Nick impressed bot...
h of us when we first exchanged emails and met for our first of many Zoom meetings. He invited us to see them perform at Landsdowne in Boston and they got the whole place dancing. We knew immediately we needed them to be at our wedding. Chris is a music teacher, good music was a must for him and knowing Nick Russo does this for his full-time job made it even better!
During the planning process he offered many song and flow-of-event suggestions. All of which were excellent! On the wedding day, the band provided mics and music for the ceremony, a jazz trio for the cocktail hour, and we went with the 8 piece band for the reception. The band learned our first dance, “Thinking Outloud” and a traditional Irish song a family member sang. They were interactive with the guests and got everyone out of their seats for dancing. One of our favorite parts was getting the mics for “Love Story”!
People are still talking about our wedding and the number one thing that comes up is Nick and American Midnight! Emily and I hope they are at our friends’ wedding in the future so we can party again!

They are responsible, timely, and very knowledgeable of the wedding process. The performances are very high quality. I heard them perform once in a Boston night club and they were fantastic. So I’d recommend them for any wedding that wants people to dance. When they played Pink Pony Club at my wedding, I absolutely lost it. 10/10 would recommend

If there were 10 stars available, I would be using all of them. What an extraordinary band with exceptional musicians, and even better, a group of amazing people. We wanted to inte...
rtwine our grandchildren and friends (all musicians/singers) into our ceremony and reception. Nick, what can one say about Nick? The term is so overused, but he is phenomenal. He worked with everyone beforehand with dedication and professionalism, and created a memorable wedding. My heart was filled with joy, and it is worth mentioning, as there is no doubt he is the consummate professional musician and a dynamic MC, but to take the time to work with the grandchildren! Thank you, thank you.
The guests have not stopped speaking about that night, the dance floor was never empty, and as my son said, "Nick was the heartbeat of the wedding." Nick engaged everyone and even had the groom, not a singer, up there singing "Waltzing Matilda." What is even more impressive is that Nick and the band had to learn to play the song at the Aussie's request, and they were magnificent.
I will stop here, but I stress that anyone would be lucky to have Nick and American Midnight at their event.
We are thinking up event ideas so we can work with them again.
The absolute best, thank you again.

part of it. From our welcome party to the ceremony and through the entire reception, they absolutely made our wedding. Friends and family are still talking about how phenomenal the band was—and we couldn’t agree more.
Every step of the way, they were professional, positive, and just brought the best energy. Their organization and care were next-level, and they made everything feel effortless. The attention to detail was unmatched—they truly took the time to understand the flow of our weekend and nailed it.
A special shoutout to Nick, who single-handedly helped make our wedding spectacular. His calm, thoughtful guidance and genuine care made us feel so comfortable and confident. We were really intentional about the flow of our day, and he made sure the music matched each moment perfectly.
We’re endlessly grateful to this talented group—not only for their incredible sound and musicianship, but for being such a special part of our celebration. If you’re lucky enough to have them at your wedding, just know you’re in the absolute best hands.

We first saw American Midnight at a friends’ wedding and they were one of the first vendors we contacted when we got engaged and started planning our wedding. From our first meetin...
g, we hit it off with Nick. Nick is an incredibly meticulous planner, a prompt and clear communicator, a great listener, fantastic hype man, and a great musician in addition to being an all-around pro. We had so much fun in our planning meetings, and it was an incredibly collaborative process and we appreciated that Nick shared his honest opinions and recommendations for what would work best. All I wanted was a great dance floor for the reception, and they did not disappoint. We were on the dance floor along with most of our guests for the whole night, and multiple guests told us they were blown away by the band and stayed on the dance floor the whole night because there were absolutely no skips in the setlist; their energy is unmatched and they are incredible at reading the room and leaning into the crowd’s energy. Someone even joked that they would have another wedding just so they could hire American Midnight! Our wedding was such a perfect night, and American Midnight was a huge contributing factor. We will miss our regular communication/meetings with Nick now that our wedding has happened, but have made priceless memories. We opted for all nine members and it was worth every penny. If you are any type of music lover or just want to have an epic party, you have to hire American Midnight!

We were blown away with their professionalism, ability to assist in the flow of the night, their pre-planning and how much fun they had. Our guests were so upset when the night was over and the music stopped- they literally had to be pulled from the dance floor. If you’re looking for a great sounding and put together band, but also a partner in planning and executing your night- that’s American Midnight. Nick even helped bustle my dress IN BETWEEN his MCing the introductions.
Thank you to American Midnight for the dream wedding, can’t say enough good things

We are absolutely overwhelmed with gratitude for the incredible experience American Midnight gave us on our wedding day. From our first meeting to the final note of the evening, it...
was clear that this band was not just a group of talented musicians but a dedicated team that truly cares about their craft and their clients.
Having attended numerous weddings and combed through many wedding bands for our own wedding, we've interacted our fair share of bands, and nothing has compared to the energy and enthusiasm that American Midnight brought to our celebration. The way they set the tone, engaged with the crowd and fed off the energy in the room was magical. Our guests were consistently gushing about how phenomenal the band was, and we couldn’t agree more!
Their performance was undoubtedly the highlight of the evening. They created an energetic and lively atmosphere. Their ability to read the room and their versatility made the night even more special as they effortlessly brought all our friends and family together on the dance floor. American Midnight made it felt like a celebration not just for us but for everyone present, and the joy was palpable. They took the time to understand our vision, and they expertly tailored the setlist to fit our tastes, including personal touches that made the night feel uniquely ours.
However, beyond their obvious talent, and phenomenal performance, what truly stood out was their hard work, dedication and diligence throughout the entire process. Every meeting with Nick was filled with warmth and respect; they took our wishes seriously and were committed to making our dreams a reality. We initially thought our first choice for the wedding dance was impossible due to its fast tempo, which made selecting another song difficult. However, Nick effortlessly took the time to slow it down for us, ensuring we could dance to the song of our dreams. The level of care they demonstrated went above and beyond, ensuring we felt supported.
Lastly, it has felt like most wedding bands, are just that: wedding bands. With American Midnight however, Nick also took on the role of MC for our event, guiding us through the evening with charm, energy, and professionalism. He was so good in fact many of my relatives assumed he was a hired MC not with the band until he started rocking on stage. His engaging presence ensured everything flowed smoothly, from the speeches to the introductions and dances. He kept the energy high and the laughter coming, making sure our guests felt involved and entertained each step of the night.
We cannot recommend American Midnight highly enough. They made our wedding day an unforgettable experience filled with love, laughter, and music that resonated with all who attended. If you're looking for a band that is not only incredibly talented but also dedicated to making your special day magical, you found it! Thank you, American Midnight, for everything—you truly made our wedding day a dream come true!

The band performed live acoustic guitar during the ceremony and cocktail hour (amazing). Nick was by our side the whole day, working with our other vendors to keep things on track and making sure we had maximum fun. The band performed our first dance live which was so special. Needless to say we danced the night away. Nick took care of every detail and the event went off without a hitch.

So lucky to have found this band! Nick and his team at American Midnight are so cool to work with. Nick brings great energy to meeting and planning a fun event day. For the wedding...
, he and his team supplied sound equipment for the ceremony (option for live musician), Cocktail hour and dinner. Nick is great to work with and has a lot of experience in helping set up the flow of the reception and the wedding day to provide some advice to how to help make decisions and plans. He and his team were more than audio professionals - they helped keep the evening "on track" and orchestrated the timing and choreography with other vendors / staff including the photographer, videographer and venue personnel. The American Midnight band plays the typical wedding bangers, but I think their energy as a band made it that much more fun. The guests at our wedding could not stop telling us how much fun the band was and how much they enjoyed them coming off the stage to interact and dance with the crowd. They had paperwork for us to make it easier for a nontraditional LGBT wedding. We had the full 9 piece band and they were worth every cent! We strongly recommend this group and would choose them again for another event with a band if I have the opportunity.
SO MUCH FUN!!!!! LOVE THEM! Would totally want to hang out with them and be their friends too.

and it was one of the best vendor decisions we made for our wedding weekend. Nick and his bands energy and talent is unreal- we were obsessed with them from the moment we met them but we got so many compliments throughout the night and after our wedding about how incredible the band was. Nick is extremely attentive, engaging and listens to your requests. Everyone in the band is super talented, but they’re also so fun! They kept the crowd going all night with banger after banger until the party was unfortunately over. I cannot recommend Nick and his team enough- he coordinated the whole thing from ceremony to reception to speeches! All of our calls got us so excited for the big day and he was so helpful with recommendations and suggestions for our big day. I promise that If you choose American Midnight for your band, you will not be disappointed and your guests will be raving about them well after your wedding day!

BOOK THIS BAND.
Hands down the best money we spent on the wedding. My husband and I will genuinely miss our zoom meetings with Nick. Working with Nick and American Midnight was s...
o easy. They encouraged us to use the music to add some personal touches to the ceremony and reception. We told them we wanted a rocking party, and boy did they deliver. We never left the dance floor. Our guests all commented on how excellent the band was. The pricing is great-you get music, audio, lighting for the entire event. We had live music during our cocktail hour as well. If you are on the fence about live music like I was, book this band. You will not regret it.

Best. Wedding Band. Ever.
Got married in September 2024 and we had the 8 piece band - TOTALLY worth it!!! The horns made the night.
Starting from the very beginning Nick was i...
ncredible. His positive attitude and infectious excitement made planning easy, fun, and less stressful. As a bride with a very clear vision, Nick totally grasped that and elevated it. He made recommendations to go with what we were aiming for, gave us his honest opinion, and surely did not lead us astray. Admittedly, some of his ideas were even better than my own!! He also was readily available to meet with me via zoom or phone call whenever I had a question pop up.
On the day of the wedding he took care of everything- he made sure we were taken care of as bride and groom, that we were relaxed, excited, and refreshed. He made sure all the guests who spoke knew exactly what to do. All the transitions were seamless.
We had a saxophone / guitar combo play at cocktail hour. It was elegant, dreamy, and amazing. The perfect touch.
The rest of the reception was undeniably incredible. The dance floor was packed all night, they played absolute bangers - not even being biased because it was my own wedding- but it was the best set list I have ever heard at a wedding, ever. Our 180 Guests from ages 15-94 were dancing to all the songs they played- not one bad song. And they even accommodated our groomsmen's special request.
All the band member are amazing at what they do, the instruments sound was incredible, vocals top notch. Everyone was kind, hyped for us, and the perfect amount of crowd interaction.
Following our wedding, everyone was raving over the band, the MC of the night, the set list, and how truly incredible they sounded. Many people told us they were the best band they had ever seen, wedding or not.
I would 100/10 recommend American Midnights to anyone in search of a wedding band— heck, I might throw another party just to have them come play again!!

We had the pleasure of working with American Midnight for our wedding in August 2024, and they exceeded every expectation. From our initial meetings, Nick stood out with his meticu...
lous attention to detail and deep understanding of wedding timelines and flow. He took comprehensive notes during our calls, offering valuable insights based on his extensive experience. Nick went beyond the basics, diving into our musical tastes to ensure the setlist was a reflection of us, even customizing edits for our first dance songs.
As the wedding day approached, their timely check-ins reassured us that everything was in order. On the day itself, American Midnight provided exceptional live and recorded music for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. Their role as MC was outstanding—they engaged the crowd, adjusted the set list on the fly, and truly read the room. The compliments from our guests were abundant, highlighting their impressive talent and energy.
What truly set American Midnight apart was their positive attitude throughout the planning process. In what can be a stressful time, their professionalism and upbeat demeanor made everything smoother and more enjoyable. We couldn’t have asked for a better band to make our special day unforgettable.

Best decision of our wedding! They played at a friend’s wedding and before they sang, we knew we needed to book them. We spent the whole night dancing and they sounded awesome. Don...
e deal! We are so thankful we booked them for our wedding. They have great stage performance and energy. Nick was so helpful in the planning process to make sure all the details were covered and really helped to visualize the flow of activities throughout the night. He is very personable and we enjoyed working with him. The band had such great energy from the minute we stepped foot at our venue (even before guests arrived) and all throughout the night. They were our hype team when we were practicing our first dance, which left us feeling great as we prepared to perform in front of our guests. They really got the party started and interacted well with our guests. They sounded amazing and everyone couldn’t stop talking about how much fun they had- and how tired they were the next day from dancing all night. :) We wish we could relive the night again! We booked the 6 piece band and highly recommend that you don’t wait to book too! Really can’t say enough good things about them, thanks American Midnight!!!!

American Midnight was an absolutely fabulous addition to our wedding. I truly believe that they made the night as special as it was. They did far more than play music. They fostere...
d special moments, they kept the energy high all night, and kept the night on track. Nick basically acted as a second event coordinator. They go above and beyond delivering not just a service, but creating memories, experiences, and special moments that are specific to you and what you want out of the wedding. Nick met with us 4 times leading up to the wedding - and offered many more - to figure out what kind of wedding we wanted. We told him we wanted everyone partying and dancing the whole time, and he absolutely delivered. We had a 60 person wedding - and I swear at least 50 people were on the dance floor all night. From Nick coming into the crowd to sing our favorite songs with us, performing on the spot adjustments to schedule and speeches, and to letting my parents, musicians themselves, join in on some of the performance, American Midnight went above and beyond to make our wedding day special. I can't recommend them enough. Nick will get to know you, and make your wedding exactly what you want it to be, far beyond the scope of running music all night. I want to thank him and the band for doing such an amazing job with our special day, and I sincerely recommend that you hire them for your wedding. I genuinely believe there is no other group of people that will work harder to make your day special.

HIRE THIS BAND! We booked American Midnight for our July wedding and could not be happier with our decision. The music at my wedding was the top priority for me and American Midni...
ght truly surpassed my expectations.
All the band members are truly talented musicians. They were so fun and engaging - the dance floor was packed the entire night as I had hoped. I had so many guests, many being musicians themselves, come to tell us how great our band was and my family is still raving about my band choice every time I see them.
Nick is highly organized, communicative, and accommodating, ensuring a stress-free experience from start to finish. His responsiveness to my needs and preferences gave me much needed peace of mind during wedding planning and also on the day of the wedding.
Nick worked closely with me to curate a playlist that perfectly captured the vibe I envisioned. And on the day of, they seamlessly adapted to a last-minute change the venue sprung on us for where the band would play. The band handled it without adding any stress or worry on my end as the bride.
Don't settle for a boring, generic wedding band. HIRE American Midnight Band and they’ll make your wedding celebration unforgettable!

We recently hosted our wedding at the Boston Public Library (July 2024). Nick and the American Midnight team curated all of the music for our entire evening. We could not have aske...
d for a better performance and outcome. From the very beginning, Nick guided us through all music selection along with the entire planning process. Nick brought an elevated level of enthusiasm and entertainment that made our evening so special. From the ceremony to the party, the outcome was flawless. The entire band didn’t miss a step and outperformed all expectations. The ability to play a variety of different music was incredibly impressive. The thoughtfulness of the songs coupled with the execution of the performance was unparalleled. Nick was amenable throughout the process in selection of music and furthermore provided great guidance to make the evening extra special. We have received so many positive reviews from our guests - it was truly a remarkable performance. We are so fortunate that we chose American Midnight for our event and would recommend 10/10 times for anyone looking for rockstar band.

g process, and the wedding night itself was surely no exception. Nick was the best MC I’ve ever witnessed at a wedding, he kept the energy so high all night long. The band kept everyone on the dance floor throughout the night, and there was never a dull moment. All of our guests keep telling us how much fun our wedding was and that it was the best wedding they’ve ever been to, and I attribute a lot of that to Nick and his band. Thank you so much American midnight for a wedding that we will never forget, truly the best night of our life!!
