If you are looking for a band that keeps the party going - look no further! Beacon Street Band performed at our September wedding and had an amazing experience. We has then for the...
ceremony, cocktail party, & reception and were so pleased with the quality, energy, & professionalism. Steve & crew were easy to work with and made our day easy and so memorable. At one point I looked around and realized the band was on break but guests were still dancing to the interim music - so seamless. Our guests still talk about how awesome this band was so if they are available you should book them!

We hired Beacon Street Band for our wedding this past November, and wow - cannot say enough positive things about the experience! All of our guests were FLOORED by the band perform...
ance and just how the music brought the wedding to life. The vibe was exactly what we were looking for!! For weeks afterwards, our friends and family were raving about how the music was so incredible - one mentioned how the same songs were performed two weeks prior at a different wedding but it was just executed SO much better and with more energy! If you are looking for a live band with an amazing skillset and passion for entertainment, look no further!

Steven Macdonald and his crew are an amazing group of musicians that showed how special and memorable they wanted our wedding celebration to be. As they were hashing out their resp...
onding to their survey results, Steven made every possible effort to find the music we really wanted. He was clear in asking our expectations, schedule of events, and making sure we understood his crew’s capabilities (which was amazing). The whole band set up without a fuss, got everyone dancing (including the 94 year old with a walker), and kept the bride and I on the floor all evening! Payment was known months beforehand without any day-of surprises, and seamless. We were, and will remain thankful for Steven and the Beacon Street Band for creating a perfect and memorable soundtrack for our entire day.

Your search for a wedding band stops here. These guys are IT. We booked the six-piece option for our barn wedding and they had the dance party going so hard I thought we were going...
to break through the floorboards. They are all very talented musicians and they brought great energy that had our dance floor packed all night. Our friends and family continue to tell us how great they were. They can play a huge variety of songs/genres (even Irish music) and are willing to learn a few they don't know if they matter to you. They even let my wife's uncle come up and play harmonica with them for a song and it sounded like they'd been playing together for years. Communication can be a little relaxed at times, but if you stay on top of the details and confirm everything beforehand, you'll have the night of your life with these guys. Now stop reading and book this band!

er package and are so happy that we did! The combination of instruments really added a depth to the music and got everyone dancing. The band played a wide variety of genres and even took a request! We received so many comments and notes after the wedding complimenting the band and we couldn't agree more. Steve and Emily were so easy to work with and very accommodating. Thank you!
