Night Shift Entertainment LLC

2019 and Night Shift was the first vendor we hired. Words truly cannot express how incredible Night Shift was at our wedding. Never in my life have I seen a room come more alive than that evening. The energy so high and electric until 2am. We had 224 guests at our wedding and when I say the ENTIRE DANCE FLOOR was packed to the brim dancing to Night Shift, I truly mean the entire dance floor. From 23 year old guests to 85 year old guests, everyone was dancing all night. I cannot even count the number of compliments we received from our guests of all ages, from all places, who could not stop raving for months (and to this day) about how incredibly the band was. Often noteD as the best band they've ever seen. Night Shift also performs an out of this world Hava Negila/Horah sung IN HEBREW! Karen was a true pleasure to work with. We left the set list completely up to band and everyone raved about the songs played... The classics and MoTown mix was a HUGE HIT among the entire crowd.. It couldn't have been better. People were singing, hootering, hollering, engaging with the band/mic, breaking into dance circles. It was out of this world. The energy stayed high and the room packed until 2am. Many, many, many guests (our aged to our parents' and grandparents' friends) raved about Night Shift being the best band they've ever seen. We've heard this over and over and over (still do). One of my favorites was my father in law's 75 year old friend coming over to us at breakfast the next morning "It's been decades since I've danced like that or stayed up that late!" Hiring Night Shift was the best decision we made in our wedding planning process. Thank you Karen for being so easy and incredibly to work with and for making our wedding the biggest hit.

o make sure the band we had would still be available on our new date. I can tell you not ever vendor has been this flexible or kind, but in the worst of times, Night Shift has shown how much they care about the couples they work with. Honestly, I can not give a higher recommendation to the Night Shift team. They are talented, and as we've seen as previous weddings we have attended where they played, get the party going and keep it rolling all night long. But most importantly, they had our backs when we needed them and that is why when you are looking for a band, your search should start, and end, with Night Shift.

t! Karen was absolutely amazing from the first time we spoke. We were late to the planning game, so we were really lucky that Night Shift was available on our date! We signed with Karen in December & met her in person in February - she is a gem. She was transparent about the whole process - she told us what to expect, gave us guidance regarding our song list, told us what not to waste our time or money on, etc. We were already so excited about Night Shift & after meeting with Karen we were so happy to be giving such a fun-loving & kind person our business! Unfortunately, we are cancelling our wedding because of COVID19. Even through our cancellation, Karen was so supportive and direct. We are so hopeful that we will be able to work with Karen in the future. I highly recommend Night Shift Entertainment for your next event!

mmunication (we had added an additional half hour a few weeks before the wedding, but the band wasn't told) they were great and kept the party going with just as much energy, if not higher! Definitely recommend!

talent they bring to the stage is amazing. Literally, a large number of our friends were asking for the band's card to get them to play other events at the end of the night. Nightshift is a "must have" band for any occasion. They instantaneously turn a good party into a great party!

We also hired ceremony and cocktail hour musicians from Night Shift Entertainment, and they were excellent and accommodated all of our song requests and played them perfectly. I would highly recommend working with Night Shift as you are planning your wedding. You will be happy you did!

ed to give them a call. Karen was so friendly and easy to talk to. We bonded instantly. She was nice enough to hold several dates for me until I finalized the wedding date. About a week after I held the dates, she called and said several people were looking for some of my dates to book the band. I said to myself, if people are booking the band this far in advance they have to be good. I went ahead and decided to book them without ever hearing them in person. Well,...this past weekend was unbelievable. They were FABULOUS. I can't say enough about their sound and their voices. They selected several songs based on the crowd and they hit it on the nose...everyone was up dancing and having a great time. I had several guests who are in the music business and they commented on how great the band was. Not only did the band play exceptionally well, but they also announced important events happening throughout the night (ie, cake cutting, father/daughter dance etc). I can't say enough about this band. They showed up on time, set everything up in a timely fashion and had a lot of energy. Thank you Night Shift for a job well done!!!

loor for a solid 5 hours. We added a brass section to the core group and it was well worth it. The sound was amazing. The lead female vocalist flawlessly performed the function of master of ceremonies for the night. She is a very talented professional. The band also worked with us to have two family members sit in with the band on a few songs, a real highlight of the evening. They are among the best bands in New England and a pleasure to work with. Don't hesitate to book them!

hift even arranged a second line band to walk us down the aisle and play during the cocktails! Now onto NSE- Once the guests picked their jaws up off the floor after hearing the lead vocalists belt Hava Nagila, the dancing never stopped! I'm not exaggerating- my husband and I planned to go from table to table to say hello to guests during dinner, but we joined everyone on the dance floor instead! They played incredible songs that everyone from Grampie to the flower girl knew, and their energy was high all night. If they performed concerts, I would pay to see them. The party never stopped thanks to NSE!

hift, who took the time to get to know our style, and then we started looking for our venue! At first we thought we would get married in Maine (where my fiancée and I are from), but once we established exactly what our vision was, we knew the right venue was in Massachusetts at Tupper Manor. We loved the vibe and working with Edna on the vision was key to pulling everything together. Next came Kasie who worked with us on every detail. There was so much to cover and Kasie had our back. There was a million details, things we never even considered, but Kasie was on top of everything. Thank you both for making our pre-planning experience and wedding perfect!

ding where everyone danced from beginning to end. It was amazing! People are still talking about what a great band we had and the great energy in the room. Best time ever! Karen was so helpful and patient, and gave great advice. True professionals! They also provided music for the ceremony and the cocktail hour. I would never have thought to put a mic on the minister, but so glad we did. Experience counts!

available dates and planned the venue and every thing else around them--they really are THAT good! From start to finish, Karen was so insanely helpful in planning--she is awesome!! Day of, the band was absolutely insanely awesome! SO much talent! On time, professionals, and they truly made our night great. We received so many compliments and rave reviews--SOHO, WE LOVE YOU!

them too! Highly recommend them!

ve and amazingly talented - our guests cannot stop raving about how they were the best band they have ever heard at a wedding! We feel so fortunate to have had them as a part of our big day, and we truly cannot thank them enough!

all night. Hudson exceeded our expectations and absolutely crushed it! David and Caroline were amazing and the entire band interacted with the crowd and knew exactly when to slow it down and turn it up. Many guests told me it was the best band they've ever seen! We didn't leave the dance floor all night.

from beginning to end. Everyone we talked to said that Night Shift was the best band they have seen at a wedding. Karen was excellent to work with. They were able to specialize some of our songs. Definitely book Night Shift!!

m the time we booked them with Karen until the very last song. True professionals!!! Best decision ever!!!!

!

tions to enjoy themselves. The band played many songs that were important to my husband and me, mixing them with hits that we didn’t even know we wanted (This is how we do it… who knew my husband’s cousin knew every SINGLE word). Additionally, we really appreciated that the band listened to our requests. I come from a Hispanic background and they were able to find a way to play a few Latin hits! They provided us with a party we will never forget.

to Night Shift that were really important to us. (things like pronunciations, introductions, song requests, etc.) They didn't do any of these things. I also confirmed many times that they had received the document with my notes because the info in it was THAT important to me. You can imagine my disappointment when they clearly hadn't seen it. I'm not sure if this was the responsibility of the band or the person organizing everything for them, but I was disappointed that arguably the best entertainment company in Boston couldn't get small details right. As I stated before, the performance was AMAZING and they impressed all of our guests. I just was let down that they missed many small details that were important to us.

as packed all night. These guys are professionals through and through. We also added a horns section which was phenomenal!!! If you do nothing else "big," book Nightshift.

e loved how the lead singers came onto the dance floor. It blurred lines between the stage and dance floor and took the experience to another level. Our guests were raving and asking where we found such an amazing band! Karen and her team were great to work with - easy to communicate and very organized. Anything we needed they made happen. Highly recommend!

made it possible!! Cannot recommend this group enough!!

hat night and at brunch the next morning. They did a great job interacting with the guests, getting people to dance, MCing the evening, and all together throwing an amazing party. If I wasn't sold on a live band at a wedding before, I am now! You can't miss these guys, 10/10 the best hiring decision!

really is. No gimmicks and down to earth. There was more than one occasion when her guidance during planning stages was invaluable. During our wedding, the band was amazing. We had a different singer than what we were expecting, but it didn't matter because they crushed it all night long. All the transitions, announcements, and getting everyone to dance to the last song of the night was what we planned and what we got. If your goal is to have a fun wedding then hire District 21! Thank you again for making our night so special.

Thank you Nightshift for making our daughter's wedding an evening we will cherish and remember for the rest of our lives. Great job guys. Two daughters in 12 months. Outstanding, You are simply the best.

e gave us a price, which was more than we wanted to spend on a band, but we were willing to do it because they were so awesome when we had seen them at our family weddings. We went to see the band at a bar in Boston before we were going to finalize the booking. Little did we know, the entire band had changed since my brother's wedding three years ago. Karen was not transparent about this. We spoke specifically how we had loved the lead singer and how she lead a great wedding, but she did not mention that she is no longer part of the band. Also, this means that the band is completely different than the one they are advertising on the website. I find this to be really concerning since many people book a band after watching videos on the website. To make it worse, I found my brother's invoice when he booked the band three years ago, and they had raised the price by 6,000 dollars. Before you book, make sure to confirm the band members if you are particular about the band being what is actually advertised on the site.

gy to the room. They had the dance floor packed all night, and even came down from the platform to interact with my husband and I and our guests. The music they played satisfied everyone from grandparents to 20-somethings. If you're looking for a wedding band, I highly recommend Night Shift!

ave older systems: download, sign by hand, scan and email back, and then mail a paper check or wire funds. But, at the same time probably wouldn't have found them without NSE :). BPO was amazing, I'll review them separately!

band ahead of time and on the day of was fantastic, and they performed our first dance songs exactly as we discussed. If there is one thing everyone kept coming up to mention, and is still talking about a month later, it was the band!!! They really got the party started, and came off stage so many times right into the crowd. Not a single person was in their seat. Everyone was dancing and had an absolutely amazing time. We gave them little guidance on the songs (we trusted them to play the best songs), but the few songs we did ask for were played. We didn't want the night to end. We'd recommend any of the NightShift bands to anyone. Thank you for making our wedding an absolute blast, a night we'll always remember!

ed working with Night Shift and would recommend them to any couple who wants their guests to dance the night away! Every guest said that Hudson was the best wedding band they’ve ever heard. Thank you!

found this amazing band! Couldn't recommend Soho enough!

r our wedding – they did NOT disappoint. Nearly a year later I still have guests reaching out to me asking who my band was. The dance floor was PACKED from start to finish, each song just getting better and better. The entire band was beyond talented – but the lead singer Jermaine was truly a show stopper. I felt like there was a live concert at my own wedding 😊 Thank you to the entire Night Shift team – the experience was seriously one we will never forget!

the singers were especially phenomenal. Could not recommend Soho more; they truly made our wedding!

epth of each band members’ talent is very clear. And having both solid male and female vocals brings a range of songs beyond many other groups we looked at. From a logistics and organization point of view, Karen and the team are the utmost professionals. We knew we were in good hands from the get go." I would Highly recommend them!

ple dancing and interact with us and our guests. On all of those points and then some, Night Shift did not disappoint. From the lighter music played at dinner (by the pianist and saxophone player) to getting the party started after our first dance and our dances with our parents. The vocalists came out onto the floor with our guests and played an incredible selection of music. Our guests are STILL talking about them. While they're definitely pricey, they are worth absolutely every penny. Thank you, Night Shift!

hey are that good ! I am hiring them again to my son's wedding for May 23,2020

eption! All of the musicians were fun, energetic, talented, and interacted with the crowd so well. For each of the moments of the evening (cocktail hour, entry/toasts/special dances, dinner, and dancing), the music was perfectly appropriate. There were a mix of classics and pop music; all were crowd pleasers! Everyone, from my 8-year-old cousin to 91-year-old grandfather, was jamming to the music. Our guests were blown away and people were asking for Hudson’s information so that they could book them for upcoming events! Their performance at our wedding was truly the perfect addition to our special day!

People were amazed by the way they preformed. We received so many compliments on them. A guest said they wanted to book them for when their girls get married and they live in PA! The band was extremely friendly and so much fun! My family was thrilled with hiring Hudson. I wouldn't pick any other vendor or band for the job!

nded with Karen from NSE and she assured me that what you see online is what you get. No one informed me at all of the change and although the man who subbed in was awesome, I just thought it was kind of a deceitful move to pull and they probably hoped I wouldn’t notice. We had a signed contract and they broke that agreement. The band was very talented but be careful for the company they work for.

uple's first dance, the father daughter dance, every detail was perfect. Can't wait for our second daughter's wedding next July. Of course Nightshift will there. Best regards, The Weinsteins

nergized. Music was the most important part for us and we couldn't have made a better decision on our band.

the day they were getting all booked up! After seeing the band we hired perform at another wedding we realized that they didn't really play much of the music we wanted. We spoke to Karen who was able to pair us up with another band who was also part of the company. We ended up LOVING our band Big Party Orchestra! We spoke with Peter, the band manager, who made many helpful recommendations for our timeline and musical choices. The Hora was fabulous!! We had such a great time and our guests kept telling us how talented the band was too!

gh energy and super engaged!! They are so talented. Everyone kept asking us about them and how we found them!! They had a great mix of songs; some classic slow songs during dinner then switched to party mode after dinner was served.We all danced the night away and my husband and I couldn’t have been happier!! Even our friends who don’t usually dance were out on the floor. They are 1000% worth every penny. Seriously, book them.

ormance! Karen at NSE is also wonderful, she’s super easy to work with, efficient, and very friendly. Overall I just can’t rave enough about how wonderful our experience was with NSE!

k to book Hudson a year and half in advance, I got raving reviews from their past clients and everyone had amazing things to say. Hudson was DAMN AMAZING. I was a really shy bride and was very intimidated to dance in front of a room full of people since I had nothing prepared. David Fuller (lead singer) knew and cut the song short from first dance and father daughter dance. It was perfect. During cake cutting segment, he freestyled a cake cutting rap song to a totally comical beat that had me laughing so hard. Everyone was laughing and had a great time with David and I wish I had that song recorded on the radio. My crowd was difficult, there were some stiff Asian people that would not get up and dance, but David really paid attention to ones on the dance floor and made sure they had a good time. I noticed the band also read the room perfectly by testing new types of songs and settled in a lot of the oldie dance classics that all ages enjoyed. I noticed the transition to those songs and it really got the room engaged. David also got my shy dad to dance and copied his silly moves and really made him happy. Thank you, I could not have asked for more engaging performer. Hudson really made my wedding memorable and songs still been lingering in my head for the next 2-3 days after the wedding. It’s really something I will never forget. This goes without saying that everyone had voiced the band was amazing, but you already know that!

- they are great and our guests were dancing all night long!

ter than we remembered. They were super engaged with the guests and kept everyone dancing all night long. The energy the band brought was fantastic. And the two members of the band who performed on the keyboard and sax during our cocktail hour also were wonderful! Perfect way to kick off the evening. Booking Hudson was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding.

last song no one could resist getting out on the floor. The singers waded in to the crowd several times, which only served to amp up the energy level. Dealing with the Management company was easy, too. We recommend them without reservation - thanks!

is or her own flare and uniqueness that is incomparable to any other band I have seen at a wedding. The band coordinated well with the other musicians we had (e.g., my Uncle, who sang our first dance song and Neshoma). Jacob Sound, the DJ at our after party, was a highlight for so many people at our wedding. We’ve never seen a DJ with such incredible dance moves. Karen Garside, the manager, was very responsive and easy to work with. She was genuinely happy for us and wanted to make the night so special. Everything about Night Shift Entertainment is seamless and professional. 5 Stars!

nderful evening. We received so many calls from our guests asking where we found the band and they could not believe how incredibly fantastic they were. Our family highly recommends Night Shift!!

the wedding, because of timing and schedules, we never had a chance to hear Soho live. I did a bunch of research and read every review imaginable, but as you can imagine, as the bride I always was a bit worried in the back of my mind that I didn't know what they really sounded like live. If you are reading this and have any hesitation, trust me, they are incredible and I would not worry one bit if you can't hear them live in advance. Thank you so much Soho and Karen at Night Shift Entertainment!!

band they had ever heard. Months after the wedding, we still have people asking about our wedding band. District 21 nailed our first dance song and learned a couple of additional songs at our request. They had everyone old and young on the dance floor the entire night. They were absolutely awesome and I would highly recommend them to all future brides. My only regret is that I wish they could've played for longer - didn't want the dancing to end!

Their energy, their voices, their song selectoin - everyone was one the dance floor the entire night. Karen was also a pleasure to work with leading up to the wedding. She was extremely responsive to all of my emails, so nice, and very patient. Our friends are still commenting on how great the band was! Thank you all!

blown away by how talented the band was and our guests couldn't have been more pleased with their performance. I would highly recommend this band for your upcoming wedding, they were beyond GREAT!

We had Night Shift and it was one of the best things about our wedding. We knew we'd made the right choice when, during our cocktail hour, they played an instrumental version of "Despacito." Everyone at the wedding loved them and can't stop talking about them. They were so talented and high-energy, coming out onto the dance floor, engaging with the crowd, and keeping the party going.The main thing we wanted at our wedding was to have a lot of dancing, and they delivered on their promise to make that happen. If this band is available for on your wedding date, don't hesitate to book them—you will definitely not regret the decision!

as! Thank you for making our wedding a memorable event, both for us AND our guests!!

ith the guests, and made sure everyone was having the best time. Months later, people still keep commenting to us that they are the best wedding band they have ever seen. We could not be more thrilled and feel so lucky that they were at our wedding. Karen made the booking process extremely easy and ensured all of our favorite songs were played. HIGHLY RECOMMEND this band, you will not be disappointed!!

r desired song for our first dance and it sounded perfect. Thank you so much SOHO- you guys rocked it!

or. My only suggestion would be to work out breaks so that the band is eating/ breaking at the same time as guests. Overall they did a great job!

at a TERRIFIC band this is. The quality of the music is nothing short but phenomenal. From beginning to end, they had such an extremely high energy level and were constantly keeping our guests entertained. They interacted with the crowd by bringing their performance onto the dance floor and they played a diverse mix of songs from Frank Sinatra to songs of today. I wouldn't hesitate to book them again for any future event. Karen is the owner, and she is extremely accessible, kind and professional. You will definitely not regret your decision to have them at your wedding. I can promise you. Thank you Karen, Carole and David for making the day such a memorable event!!!

continue to compliment the band and say they have never danced so much at a wedding before! I HIGHLY recommend them for a wedding!!

heir list (which is nearly 500 songs) and did an amazing job. Our friends and family could not stop raving about them and the dance floor was packed the entire night. We are so grateful for District 21 and Karen and would recommend them to anyone! Thanks so much guys!!

was the best band they'd ever seen! Thanks to Night Shift for making our event one that we'll never forget! They really made the entire night! Just incredible!!!

eantime so we don't have any additional worries in preparation of the date. The talent level of this band is unlike anything I've seen before. They cross over many genres and styles and our event is always a blast. I highly recommend them for your wedding. Check out their videos on youtube, you will not be disappointed the day of.

hey were truly so incredible and really made the whole wedding! The band interacted and performed on the dance floor with our guests which truly blew everyone away. The selection of music they played was truly incredible and we literally could not be happier. Everyone in the band could not have been nicer or more accommodating. We had very high expectations after listening to their songs on the website, but can honestly say they exceeded every expectation they had and completely blew us away! I can't wait to have the opportunity to plan another event so I can hire them again! I could not recommend Hudson any more, they truly transformed the wedding and I would 100% recommend them to anyone looking to ensure their wedding is the party of the year! Karen was also such a pleasure to work with and could not have been nicer!!

first dance, parent dances, type of music, etc.). She relayed all of that information to the band members and they executed it perfectly. There was a slight glitch at one point, causing the microphone to not work for about 3 minutes, but the band didn't skip a beat and instead continued playing and we continued dancing anyway. My husband and I even got on stage at the reception venue for a few songs and the video honestly looks like it was a concert. My only disappointment was that we weren't able to continue the party longer - we could have listened to them forever. At the end of the night our guests were chanting "one more song, one more song!" - they were amazing!

ng was to be 'Shut up and Dance' and our most favorite songs to dance to...everything was all spelled out. They didn't get/use what we asked for. The bride had to stop partying, find her phone and bring up the playlist for the band. They said they never got the list but yet they played the 3 songs that were on the playlist that they leaned specifically for us. The band members were wonderful, nice, talented but if you go to a concert to hear Bruce Springsteen but get Frank Sinatra you are upset. We can't stand Michael Jackson music which they played but never heard Journey which is a highlight of every event we go to. Their answer to the problem was an apology from Karen. Bottom line...if music matters to you and you want specific music...be prepared to hand a list to them the night of the event because they really disappointed us!

d a half in advance!), and we had never seen D21 live, but read reviews and trusted we had made a good choice. Now that the wedding has passed, we have been told by a number of guests that our band was the best they've ever seen at a wedding, and we definitely danced a lot later in the night and enjoyed their music, so there is no question of talent. We worked closely with Karen throughout the year after booking, and the week before our big day we provided a playlist for our "must-play" dance music, as well as some specific requests: playing Shut Up and Dance for the opening song to kick off dancing, cutting our organized dances at certain marks, birthday shoutouts + how to pronounce each person's name, since we happened to have a bunch of birthdays that weekend. Karen and I had a long phone chat and several emails back and forth, and she confirmed which of our must-play songs the Band could accommodate (plus pointed out which songs they would learn for us), and said it wouldn't be a problem. She also responded + confirmed about the birthday shoutouts and thanked me for the level of detail I provided regarding pronunciation. Our first hiccup was with the organized dance songs: our first dance had no intro music [it cut right to the words], which we weren't expecting, and unfortunately we had taken lessons and choreographed to the song, so that made for an awkward start. Then on the father-daughter dance I was told by Karen that our song would fade at 2 minutes, so we had loosely practiced (not choreographed) to that, however the song played in full. Which in retrospect I'm fine with since it's such a special moment, but again there was clearly a miscommunication. The moment that really caught us off guard was when the band opened up the dance floor to everyone - I couldn't even tell you what they played, Black Eyed Peas maybe? It wasn't the specific song we had asked them to open up with. So at that point the groom, my mom and myself, who had all worked extremely hard putting together the playlist, tried communicating with the band, and ultimately had our wedding planner get them a copy of the playlist (which she had never seen nor heard of). At that point they started to go off of the list, and they had clearly still learned our 3 song requests - but they said they had never heard of our playlist until that night. Our wedding planner told us later on that she hadn't felt like Karen was on top of things regarding schedules and other requests, which I wish I had known earlier as I would've questioned harder. What is confusing is that she comes across as extremely professional and helpful over the phone, but there was obviously a major disconnect on the actual day. We also realized the next day that the birthday shoutouts had never happened either - another request that Karen had confirmed with me but our Band had never heard of. What is so sad about the whole thing is that we all lost a good hour of the night due to being focused on solving the playlist problem. The Band is undoubtedly talented, but if you are booking them and have specific requests, I highly urge you to have someone speak with the actual Band day- or weekend-of to make sure your requests made it their way.
