Boston Common played for our wedding in late May 2026, and they were all-around exceptional!! From the start, Emily was communicative, easy to talk to, organized and charismatic. T...
he musicians (we did cocktail hour + 9-piece for our reception) are all talented and have broad palettes and abilities. BC's portal for planning and song selection made the process easy and kept everyone on the same page. Emily was a fantastic MC for the night and went above and beyond to make sure we were on schedule and feeling good. So many of our guests commented on how great and fun our band was and were asking for BC's contact. We had some scheduling changes given rain and yet they rolled with changes seamlessly. I think we also were possibly among the more particular couples concerning our music choices and requests (especially speaking for myself), and Emily and BC were accommodating and met all of this with enthusiasm. This really made a big difference to us. Consider them for your events!
Ho-ly smokes! The Boston Common Band is phenomenal! Where to begin? I guess the beginning… we booked them about a year out and our initial call with Emily gave me a ton of confiden...
ce that we made the right choice. Their planning portal is top notch and it was very easy to organize our party and build our set list with the tools they provided. Emily was in regular contact throughout the planning phase and was super helpful as we were curating our set list and overall vibe.
During cocktail hour they had a beautiful two-piece set up that created a lovely atmosphere while everyone was chitting and chatting. It made the early part of the evening very special.
Now to the party. I’ve been to a lot of weddings, I’ve never seen a better band. Our guests have been to a lot of weddings, no one could stop talking about how great they were. We danced the night away! They did it all, they opened with Motown and disco and classic rock tunes that got all millennials and the boomers on the dance floor loving life. As the night wore on and the oldos got tired, the music matched the shift. They worked in classics I didn’t expect to work but totally did (“Everybody” by the Backstreet Boys and “All I do is Win”? Okay, I see you!).
As our one “learned” song we asked them to learn Rosalita by Bruce Springsteen, a 7 1/2 minute marathon that was may have been a bit unfair of us to ask of them but not only did they do it but they absolutely crushed it! Everyone was jamming, Jersey pride was flowing strong.
By the end of the night they closed with 3 or 4 straight early 2000’s pop punk anthems that had us basically rioting on the dance floor.
We have been getting pestered for the set list by everyone who was there. They literally didn’t have a single dud song. Banger after banger they completely nailed it.
It was the best night ever and they were a huge part of that.
I cannot say enough positive things about Boston Common Band. I felt unworthy having a band this caliber perform at our wedding. I feel like they should/could be performing for sta...
diums of people instead. Their versatility and range of genres they can expertly cover, their choreography, the energy they bring the entire night, how easy it was to coordinate everything with Emily, their production and matching outfits all blew me away. My guests liked many of their song covers better than the original artist rendition. I truly cannot believe they are able to cover latin music, rap, hip hop, R&B, pop, soul, classics all so well. If you are going to book any band for an event, there is no one else you should book other than Boston Common Band.
The Boston Common band is an absolutely LEGENDARY group. They captured our vibe from the first phone call, all the way up to the moment we were practicing our first dance before hi...
tting the reception. Emily and the Boston Common Band were thoughtful, and cared about every last detail going right. They know how to throw a major party, from synchronizing their dance moves, to hitting the highest highs. They delivered on all fronts: incredible vocals, energetic dance choreography. They provided beautiful timing with ceremony music, smooth cocktail jams, and even hype dj mixing for an after party. Prior to the day, Emily spent time with us doing event planning to coordinate with the venue, and set up their amazing sound systems and epic lighting in between cocktail hour and reception. My wife and I couldn’t believe how well they brought down the roof–they are a one-of-a-kind talent, and we couldn’t recommend them enough for your wedding. If you choose to hire them for your event, you are guaranteed a party of a lifetime!
Boston Common Band, where do we even begin? Hands down: best. decision. we. made. Boston Common Band is unlike any other wedding band I have seen or heard. From their tight knit ha...
rmonies, talent, personality, choreography, to their music selections - these musicians are absolute professionals. I have heard from many guests that this was the best wedding band they've ever experienced. They learned two songs for us, one of them being a special father/daughter dance where my dad and I joined in with harmonicas on "Piano Man." My friends keep referring to this night as the "best concert they ever went to" and I whole heartedly agree. They were one of the only bands we found during the search process who had videos of them singing live and that's because they are ALWAYS PHENOMENAL. My husband and I met doing musical theater, so music was immensely important to us. This band delivered. Boston Common did our AV for the ceremony and it was perfection. Emily even made a silence your phones announcement for us before the ceremony began. They also performed during cocktail hour and I received so many compliments on their song selections. Emily doubled as a vocalist/DJ, but also as a coordinator. She kept us on TIME and she always kept me in the loop. She acted as the MC for the evening, welcoming our guests, dropping jokes, and introducing toasts and speeches flawlessly. We are so grateful to Boston Common Band for everything they did for us. The portal that they used during the planning process is awesome and allowed us to input our timeline, do-not-plays, must-plays, and contact information for vendors. I appreciated their organization immensely and Emily is QUICK to respond via email. The final meeting was our favorite meeting. We had a call with Emily who had us cracking up laughing and got us super excited for the big day. Thank you for putting your heart and soul into our special day. It's clear that while you are talented and passionate, you make your bride and grooms feel as though their wedding is the only one. You cultivated the perfect vibe and the happiest and most FUN day of our entire lives. I will never get over how packed our 30'x30' dance floor was (and that is a BIG dance floor). Thank you, thank you!
Boston Common Band exceeded all of our expectations for our wedding! When we booked them, we lived across the country and were unable to see them perform live - booking only based ...
on the recommendation from our venue along with some videos we had watched of them performing. We were blown away with their performance! Everyone was on the dance floor and their energy was absolutely amazing. I cannot recommend them enough and hope to see them live again in the future! Definitely book them if they are available on your date!
Boston Common Band captivated all of our wedding guests with wonderful entertainment starting during hors d'oeuvres hour until the end of the night. They are easy to work with, alw...
ays willing to accommodate what we wanted, and an absolute talent powerhouse of a group. We couldn't have asked for a greater wedding band experience and we hope we can work with them again for other events. They are simply outstanding.
We could not have asked for a better band! From the very first Zoom call with Emily, we knew Boston Common Band was the one. Unlike others we had interviewed, Emily was prepared, p...
rofessional, and even broke into a Frank Sinatra song mid-call as an example for cocktail hour—we were blown away and booked them on the spot.
Leading up to the wedding, Emily’s communication was flawless. When I decided last minute to change my daddy-daughter dance song, I was nervous it would be a huge hassle. But Emily didn’t even flinch and made the switch effortlessly.
On the wedding day, from start to finish, they were AMAZING. It was the kind of party we had always dreamt of—interactive, fun, and full of energy. My nieces and nephews will never forget singing into the microphones with the band members, and at the very end, they even came back out for an encore!
Our guests are still talking about it, saying things like:
“Wow, that felt like a rock concert!”
“To be honest, that was better than my own wedding.”
“Best wedding ever!”
Boston Common Band made our day truly unforgettable. If I could give you more stars, I would.
Boston Common was absolutely amazing and blew our (high) expectations out of the water. We lost count of how many of our guests made a point to comment on how awesome they were and...
how they were the best band they had ever seen perform at the wedding. There is nothing they can’t do - everything was incredible: the song selection, the performances, the DJ at the after party and the uplighting. The cherry on the top - choreographed dances!!
They got everyone at the wedding on the dance floor - including our grumpiest of guests; even one of our groomsman who didn’t even dance at his own wedding was out there the whole night!
The party didn’t stop at our wedding - we saw multiple hotel guests dancing 4-6 year on their balconies above our venue, along with some onlookers on the beach!
From signing with Boston Common to booking them, everything was easy and smooth. They made it so simple to plan. Could not recommend them enough!
Boston Common Band is THE BEST!! Our wedding day was thrown for a complete loop with hurricane force winds that required everyone to evacuate the tent and move inside to an undecor...
ated, small living room. Amid the chaos, BCB brought the party back to life when everything felt like it was falling apart. We spent a few hours dancing and having a blast and then when the winds settled and we were able to get back outside to the tent, they were again so accommodating and so dedicated to keeping the party going - they picked up their equipment and moved for a THIRD TIME and rocked out with a packed dance floor until the very end.
Honestly, they saved our wedding. Beyond their flexibility and dedication, they are just an incredible band. Their talent is off the charts – every vocalist and instrumentalist is top-tier – and their setlist is perfectly curated to get people of all ages up and dancing. They read the room flawlessly, played a great mix of classics and crowd-pleasers, and created an energy that was absolutely contagious.
Also, a huge shout-out to Emily, who was amazing to work with from day one. She is the epitome of professional – responsive, organized, and truly invested in making our day perfect. She walked us through every detail, welcomed our input, and offered great advice that helped us shape the musical vibe we envisioned.
They are truly THE BEST!!!
We cannot say enough amazing things about Boston Common Band. They were everything we could have wanted and more. From the moment they started playing, the energy in the room was e...
lectric. They had everyone on the dance floor and kept the party going strong all night long.
Not only are they incredibly talented musicians, but they also know how to read the room and create the perfect flow throughout the evening. From our first dance to the final song, every moment felt unforgettable. The vocals, the instruments, the stage presence—everything was top tier.
What truly blew us away was the reaction from our guests. Everyone was raving about them and could not stop telling us that they were the best band they’ve ever seen at a wedding. And we couldn’t agree more! Their performance elevated the entire night and made the celebration feel truly one-of-a-kind.
If you're thinking about booking Boston Common, do it. You will not regret it. They are beyond amazing, and we feel so lucky and grateful to have had them as part of our special day.
Boston Common Band was by far the best decision we made for our wedding day! They came highly recommended by several friends, and now we completely understand why. From the very be...
ginning, they were the easiest vendor to work with. Their online planning platform was user-friendly and stress-free, and Emily was always quick to respond and incredibly helpful throughout the entire process.
The band’s energy was unmatched—our dance floor was packed all night long! They were so good that my husband and I even kept dancing outside during our sunset photos. Guests are still talking about how amazing the band was, and many asked for their information to follow them and attend future events.
If you're looking for a band that will keep the party going and give your guests a night to remember, look no further than Boston Common Band. Truly unforgettable!
If I could give more than 5 stars to Emily and her team I would. She created an amazing wedding experience for my daughter and her new husband and all our guests. She went well bey...
ond any traditional DJ, providing an additional guitar and sax as well as vocals (Emily has a sultry alto tone) that augmented the music at the cocktail hour and dance party. She also arranged a custom bagpipe (yes - bagpipe), DJ, vocal and instrumental Jewish Hora that had us all on our feet. Every song that she played during the dance party was chosen based on conversations and planning with the bride and groom and there was never an empty dance floor. BEST PARTY EVER!!!!!!!
The Boston Common Band was incredible to work with from the moment we had an initial consultation to the last dance on our wedding night. Emily (owner/lead) is an absolute master o...
f party throwing and vibe setting. We had a variety of guests to attend to—from 80s loving moms, to rap-favoring twenty somethings. All of our guests raved about how amazing the band was, and also how they loved to hear some DJ’d songs. I can hands down say it was the best decision ever to hire the Boston Common Band, in particular, because they cater EXACTLY to your unique wedding needs and offer a band/DJ combo!! You don’t have to pick and get the best of both worlds.
Boston Common Band was phenomenal. Where to begin?
From my first meeting with Emily, where she met us over video chat to talk about our wedding and what we envisioned, I knew we w...
ere in good hands.
My husband and I had a combo wedding with Hindu and Western traditions and Emily and her team helped us host the most magical reception, killing every song they played in homage to the music and bands my husband liked and including an Indian DJ, Shrey, who did an amazing set that got my entire family and all our friends on the dance floor.
Boston Common Band offers the most bespoke entertainment: from performing with my younger cousin who sings professionally herself to the learned song they performed for my husband and my first dance as a wedded couple, to the... drumroll... karaoke session (Chop Suey by System of a Down!) they allowed us, they both curated the evening as only professional musicians can and incorporated our unique vision for the evening.
Our family and friends said we had the best wedding and we know it's in large part thanks to Boston Common Band. Our guests couldn't stop raving over how talented Emily and her team were.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you!
There are not enough words to express how great our experience was working with Emily and the Boston Common Band. From the beginning, Emily was super communicative, personable and ...
highly organized. We had several meetings to discuss our priorities and overall vision for the wedding day and the band executed everything perfectly. We had them provide music for the entire wedding, from the ceremony to the end of the reception. By the end of the night, everyone was raving about their incredible performance. Music is very important to us and choosing this band was the one of the best decisions we made for this special day.
Emily and the Boston Common Band exceeded all of our expectations. Our guests cannot stop raving about them being the most INCREDIBLE band they have ever seen perform at a wedding....
They kept the energy going all night with seamless transitions between band and DJ and engaged with the crowd throughout the night - both me and my husband even got to crowd surf, twice. I couldn't recommend them enough to anyone getting married.
There aren't enough words to share how incredible Boston Common Band truly is. They absolutely brought the party to our wedding. Emily and her team have so much energy and really m...
ade our wedding feel like a live concert. All our guests were on the dance floor ALL. NIGHT. Even before the wedding, Emily herself was so great to work with. She set up various meetings to touch base and understand our timeline, as well as our vision for the day. I cannot recommend Emily and Boston Common Band enough. They will be the best wedding investment you make!
This Band and DJ Combo was amazing. Our guests danced the entire time the playlists were perfect. They accommodated our requests and gave great guidance through the entire process....
I would highly recommend them and hope to hear them again myself.
Emily and the entire team are amazing! So many guests came up to us to say how much the enjoyed the band! They were so easy to work with! Would recommend 11/10.
Boston Common Band played at mine and my sister’s wedding and they were incredible! Guest were in the dance floor the entire night. They’re extremely talented and know how to work ...
the crowd.
They were unreal. If you’re at all thinking “ I’ve never heard them, can I trust what these reviews are saying” PLEASE know I thought the same thing up until the first song. It was...
UNREAL they were out of this world. So good. Such a vibe. Such a party. It was AMAZING. I’m a planner so I had a million questions and they were so available and answered everything ( and were not annoyed with me ). Everything was amazing. The pre wedding planning the day of and then the event was 10/10. Best vendor at my wedding.
We had Boston Common Band at our September wedding and wow they really do bring the party!! Our guests are still raving about how wonderful they were! Book them for your event and ...
you and your guests will have the best time!
Boston Common Band performed at my brother's wedding in August 2019 and all 200 guests have been dreaming about seeing them perform again since that day. We reminisce on that party...
as the "last great event" before the global pandemic hit in early 2020. Despite perhaps looking at that evening through rose tinted lenses, BoCo lived up to the insane reputation we had built for them in our memories.
When my husband and I got engaged and began planning our wedding, Boston Common Entertainment was the first vendor we called. Because we planned to do a backyard wedding, we had a wide open calendar and planned our wedding date around the availability of the BoCo Band. Many had been told of the bands talent, but still marveled at how good they are. The vocalists, instrumentalists, and production quality were all top notch and people remarked all night and into the following days that they felt like they were at a concert.
One guest said she had been thinking about the band since 2019 and had been telling her cohorts at home how excited she was to see them again. Another me messaged afterwards saying that if she ever gets married, she wants them to play at her wedding.
Needless to say, I will be replaying videos from that night for weeks to come, and I can't wait until my next opportunity to see them perform! Thanks again for all the joy and entertainment <3
The Boston Common Band rocks!! Working with Emily, Jeff and the Boston Common Band was a fantastic experience, and I cannot recommend them enough. In the months leading up to our w...
edding the entire team was highly communicative and great to work with, giving us peace of mind that they were on top of everything and would make it an unforgettable day. Despite the high expectations going in, the band exceeded them on the day of. They performed for our ceremony and cocktail hour, both of which were perfection, and when the real dancing began the band's incredible sound matched with an energy that never waivered made for a truly unforgettable night. The setlist was constructed beautifully, and they did some of the best covers of songs I've heard at weddings or otherwise. You absolutely will not regret hiring this group. Thank you BCB!!!
We had a June 2023 wedding in Newport - and the Boston Common Band was by FAR the best band that made the evening the most fun night of our lives!! Our dance floor was PACKED from ...
start to finish, and we've had countless guests come up to us after our wedding telling us that was the best band they've ever seen. They brought the ENERGY and set the tone for the most memorable night. In the days leading up to the wedding, their entire team was so organized, communicative, and stress-free. Not to mention, they truly care about the couples they work with. Since my dad had recently passed away, I chose to do a non-traditional mother/daughter/sister group dance in lieu of a father/daughter dance to my mom's favorite song, "Ain't No Mountain High Enough." The band wound up surprising us with an INCREDIBLE live rendition that got the entire room on their feet - it's a memory I will always remember. Book Boston Common Band and you won't be disappointed!
We had our wedding July 2023 at Hotel Commonwealth and Boston Common Band, brought it! Emily and the entire band were amazing. We had them for our ceremony, cocktail hour, and rece...
ption.
Every single person was so nice and so fun. We wanted everyone up and dancing the entire reception and they killed it. The songs were great, the interaction with the crowd, their dancing. LOVE them so much.
DJ Mike helped us navigate the run of show and kept our nerves at ease with speeches, and timing, and first dances. He was amazing.
The entire group kicked major ass. I want to have another event so I can see them again!
Boston Common Band is the best wedding band, PERIOD. We saw them at a wedding in June of 2019 and knew we had to have them at our wedding (June 2023). The lights, the song choices,...
the sound, everything about them was perfect. They are the best to work with leading up to the day. So easy to communicate with and quick at responding. No one at our wedding left the dance floor the whole night and all our guests told us that we had the best wedding band. If you have the opportunity to book Boston Common Band DO NOT WAIT... BOOK NOW!!
Best band! All guests complimented on how great they were.. 1000% recommend
If I could give them 10 stars I would. The Boston Common Band absolutely ROCKED our wedding at Newport Beach House last weekend. From the ceremony to cocktail hour, dinner music an...
d the party, they simply crushed it. All of our guests keep telling us they felt like they were at the best concert ever and the dance floor was packed all night long. They even coordinated with my husband and let him jump on the drums to play a song. We can’t even wait to see them in action again at our friends wedding in August. If you’re looking for a wedding band, Stop reading reviews now and just book them! Thank you so much you guys! You made our wedding the celebration of a lifetime !
The Boston Common Band was AMAZING! We hired them for both ceremony, cocktail hour and reception and the music was perfect. They had great suggestions for guitarist ceremony music ...
which was really helpful and took some stress out of planning. They also are the "full package" meaning they come with all the mics, speakers and light show you need to have a ceremony everyone can hear (sometimes a struggle at other weddings I've been too....) and a dance party your guests will rave about! Hire this band, you'll have so much fun - they are worth it!
This band is AWESOME. They had our guests dancing all night long! Seriously, almost all of the guests were dancing the entire time and that's hard to achieve. It's been about a mon...
th after our wedding and the band is still talked about! In addition to the great music they played, they also entertained exceptionally well and kept the crowd engaged..from dancing with the guests, to allowing us to participate in singing, etc.
What adds to this bands' solid 10/10 is that they were very well organized and communicative throughout the entire process. We received the guidance and attention we needed the entire time and they were truly a pleasure to work it.
Highly, highly recommend this band. You will not be disappointed!
Hire Boston Common Band. Just do it. We had seen them perform at a friends wedding a couple of years ago and they were literally the first vendor we booked because we HAD to have t...
hem. They are a legit blast and so incredibly talented. Our dance floor was packed the entire evening - my dream come true! They play a perfect variety of new songs and old, and even have choreography to go along with it (literally died the first time I saw this happen). Our guests told us it was the best band they had ever seen. Let me repeat myself - BOOK THEM NOW!
We LITERALLY planned our wedding date around the band! We saw them a few years ago at a friend's wedding and knew immediately once we got engaged we would be hiring Boston Common B...
and. They were our first call (after family) when we got engaged and used their 2021 availability to plan our day. They DID NOT disappoint.
From start to finish, DJ Shyne, Emily and band made us feel 1000% with our decision. They even helped us with our venue decision. When we met with DJ Shyne, he caught our vibe and that continued to our wedding. Even with no masks, perfect weather and a perfect venue (literally could not have asked for more), our timeline day of shifted (longer than expected speeches), the band still shined as the "event" everyone is still talking about. No one got off the dance floor, including us. We danced the night away and sang along, which was our whole plan.
If you're debating your budget and the band is a tbd, go with the band. Everyone remembers the band, and they are the best around! They are not your typical stand on a stage band. They are in the crowd, catching the mood, letting you sing along, dancing with you, etc.,
Thank you again Boston Common! You exceeded every high expectation we already had!
My best wedding planning advice would be hire Boston Common Band ASAP! My husband and I got married at the Popponesset Inn and Boston Common Band was the highlight of the reception...
. They kept the dance floor packed the entire night and all of our guests raved about how great the band was. No video will do them justice either - they are absolutely incredible live and worth the $!!
The Boston Common Band and Josh (DJ Boogz) took our reception to a whole new level! They were incredible! Everyone keeps telling me what a great time they had! The band had everyon...
e on their feet the whole night! It felt like we were at a concert, they are excellent performers. They were all so easy to work with and the planning was effortless. If you want to have the best time evah at your wedding, book these guys!
WOAH. We found Boston Common Band while attending a friend’s wedding and knew on the spot that we they had to be our wedding band. We actually picked our wedding date based on BCB’...
s availability! Having seen them perform in person previously we knew they were going to be great, but wow did they exceed our expectations. They had all of our guests dancing for hours. Literally. So many of our guests are still talking about our band and how they didn’t leave the dance floor once all evening.
The energy that this group brings and maintains all night long is honestly impressive. They’re dancing, interacting with guests and truly trying to throw you the party of your life. Not only did they bring the fun, but the process of working with them leading up to the main event was amazing. They answered all of our incessant questions very promptly😊, accommodated all of our custom requests, and scheduled video calls with us in the few weeks leading up to the wedding to ensure they had all the details laid out.
If you’re considering a band for your wedding, just stop looking now and book these guys.
The Soul Estate Band was amazing!! They kept our party up and dancing the entire night! I am so thankful we went with their group for our wedding, they could not have been more per...
fect. I am so thankful to the band, and their whole team. Thank you!!!!
In looking at music options for our wedding, we couldn’t decide whether to go band or DJ, and I stumbled across the Band/DJ combo offered through Boston Common. We had Soul Esta...
te/DJ Manolo for our wedding, and it was one of the best choices we made! Music and sound were high up on our priority list, and the talent and energy from Soul Estate and DJ Manolo exceeded our expectations in every way. In addition to going above and beyond on the day-of, the planning process with these guys was a breeze from start to finish - they are truly rockstars in every sense of the word!
The Boston Common Band and Josh (DJ J-Boogz) were outstanding, and even that might be an understatement. From the moment we booked, we had clear and timely communication with vario...
us band members and coordinators. Everyone was always on the same page and the planning interface was simple and easy to use. The video chat with the DJ about a month prior to the wedding was very helpful and made us feel 100% confident in their ability to coordinate an event and put on a show. Now for the music...the Boston Common Band is not your typical wedding band, they are insanely talented musicians and performers who bring a concert to your wedding. The number one comment we have received since the wedding has been how incredible the band was, and we could not agree more. This band is worth every penny and more, hire them ASAP. Thank you BCB, we love you!
I cannot say enough great things about Boston Common Band. My husband and I got married in August of 2017 and this band/DJ combo was fantastic!! Jonathan, DJ Rolling Rick and th...
e entire band were professional and extremely talented. From the planning process to the last song of the night, Boston Common Band did not disappoint. Our dance floor was packed the entire night!

Boston Common Band is absolutely the best band you can have for your wedding day!! The band was the most important part for us as we knew that we wanted to have an amazing party. W...
e knew we wanted Boston Common Band as soon as we watched one of their youtube videos and they were the first vendor we booked. They did not disappoint! Our guests were up and dancing all night. The transitions between the band singing and the DJ playing were seamless. They played our first dance song so beautifully and that is a memory we will have forever. They were so interactive with us and our guests as well which made the experience much more personal. They really are top notch! We are still getting compliments from our guests on how great the band was. You cannot go wrong with Boston Common Band and should absolutely book them for your wedding!
The Boston Common Band is amazing! They were one of the first vendors we secured for our wedding in October. They catered so well to the diverse age ranges of our guests, performin...
g a mix of Motown and Pop hits. They also learned and performed a song for our first dance. We received so many compliments from our guests about how impressed they were with the band. The band manager was also very professional and very easy to coordinate with throughout every step of the planning process. Highly recommend!
BOOK THIS BAND. You cannot underestimate the importance of an amazing band at your wedding and Boston Common Band delivered on every level. The number of people that have approac...
hed us since our wedding specifically to say how incredible the band was has been unbelievable. The dance floor was packed the entire night, the setlist was the perfect mixture of older classics mixed with modern hits, and the fact that the band is clearly having an absolute blast the whole time brought an energy to our wedding that could not have been topped. We would book them again 1000x times over - thank you so much Boston Common Band! You guys rock.
By far the best decision we made in planning our wedding! From the pre-wedding planning to the end of our reception, Boston Common Band and DJ Shyne were a thrill and joy to work w...
ith. Our dance floor was absolutely and truly packed the whole night and numerous guests commented on how amazing our reception was. (In addition, some of our guests could not even tell the difference between the band performing the song live and the original artist!) The band is not only extremely talented, interactive with the crowd but also the textbook definition of high energy. DJ Shyne was integral to the success of the night, seamlessly guiding the reception events, providing endless hype and excitement, all in addition to spinning some fantastic tunes! We also spoke with DJ Shyne during our pre-wedding logistical meeting and the man is a true professional, knowing our questions before we asked them and offering creative and logical solutions to issues we brought up. All in all, Boston Common and DJ Shyne far exceeded all of our expectations and we could not ask for anything else. If you have any doubt in your mind about choosing a band for your wedding- pick this one.
Park Street Band and DJ Nate were exactly what we were looking for when searching for our wedding band! We didn’t know a band/DJ combo existed; we took advantage of that package an...
d we are so glad we did. DJ Nate was the perfect emcee for the evening. We don’t live in Boston anymore so we didn’t have a chance to hear them live before booking, but they absolutely exceeded our expectations! They are extremely thorough and easy to work with - we had a FaceTime session with DJ Nate where we just talked through the timeline together so we were all on the same page (he gave some great tips, too!). The online portal was simple to use and very useful if you want to request or deny certain songs. We chose to defer mainly to the band for song selection because we assumed that since they play every weekend that the band would know what songs to play and when to keep the party going! We assumed correctly; the energy was insane - I think everyone was on the dance floor the ENTIRE time. We also made a request towards the end of the wedding to have one of our guests sing Shout with the band and it capped off the night in the best way possible! Couldn’t recommend them more!
If I could give Boston Common 6 stars, I would! We absolutely loved our wedding, and Boston Common played a huge role. Guests are still raving about their performance weeks after t...
he wedding. Through the planning process, we knew we were in good hands. We heard from the band leader, DJ, and manager regularly and they ensured that nothing fell through the cracks. We went into the day with a solid timeline, knowing that between DJ Rolling Rick and the band, the music at our ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception would be exactly what we wanted. These guys exceeded all expectations!
Words cannot describe how amazing The Boston Common Band was from day one of talking to them up to our wedding day! They were our first vendor we booked once we had our wedding da...
te confirmed because we knew that we wanted a band and were ecstatic that they were available. We first saw The Boston Common Band at our friends’ wedding and LOVED them! Jonathan and Emily were so professional and very responsive throughout the whole process. We even became groupies going to see them play off-season at The Lansdowne Pub in Boston and at The Thirsty Moose in Porstmouth, NH. For our wedding day, they played jazz during our cocktail hour and then delivered an outstanding performance for our reception. Another amazing part was having DJ J Boogz working with them and us to create a great playlist of songs when the band was on break. They worked so well with our wedding coordinator at The Westin Copley Place and the uplighting looked fantastic in the ballroom. Their passion and energy shines through to each member of the band and we loved how they interacted with our wedding guests and us. Everyone at our wedding has been complimenting The Boston Common Band since our wedding this past April and we would highly recommend them to anyone that is thinking of having a band for their wedding. Thank you to all the members of The Boston Common Band and DJ J Boogz for giving my husband and I an unforgettable wedding reception!

The Boston Common Band was honestly the BEST decision that my husband and I made when it came to our wedding. We both have large, crazy families who love to dance and we knew we h...
ad to deliver the party of the year, and with Boston Common Band, that's exactly what we got! Their energy was absolutely incredible and infectious, and literally everyone was on the dance floor from the first song to the last (no joke)!! The band wasn't only energetic but also SO SO talented. From the vocalists to the drums to the horns, every member was a truly a rockstar. It was also so amazing to have DJ J-Boogz spinning songs when the band took their break. We requested a few must play songs but didn't have a set play list, but the set that he put together was a mix of exactly what we were looking for! Every single person I talked to after the wedding said Boston Common Band was THE BEST wedding band they've ever heard and we couldn't agree more!!! They were also THE BEST to work with leading up to the wedding. Both Jonathan and Josh were so responsive and knowledgeable, answering all our questions and making the whole process so easy and seamless from start to finish. Really just everything about the Boston Common Band is incredible and we couldn't recommend them more!!
You only get married once. Don't mess this up. I'm sure there are other great bands/DJ's out there, but Boston Common Band was absolutely, undeniably the best decision we made in t...
he wedding planning process. With almost zero input, BCB crafted the perfect set (and playlist) to keep our party going.
What you can't find anywhere else is this group's ENERGY. They had the party JUMPING the entire night. I looked up during the second to last song and the old folks -- who I thought would've been in bed hours before -- were still kicking it right next to the wedding party. Nails did. Hair did. Everything did. It was a night my husband and I will never forget, and our guest will never forget either! Immediately after, several months after, years and year after--we will continue talking about Boston Common's Band Performance.
Last thing: we also had the band play during our ceremony and cocktail hour....and every performance outdid the last. It was flawless. I couldn't pick a favorite part because it was all done beyond our requests. They may be pricey, all good bands are, but it's worth every last penny. I promise!
