My wife and I got married at the Grafton Inn this past August. We were privileged enough to book the Miles Band for our reception, with Peter Miles performing solo acoustic guitar during our ceremony. Miles was a pleasure to work with during the planning process, taking the time to understand our needs and accommodating special song requests. It is difficult to overstate the level of talent, charisma, and positive energy that he and the band displayed on our wedding day. Miles performed beautifully during our ceremony and helped create the intimate and warm atmosphere that we hoped to cultivate. During the reception, the Miles Band performed our requested first dance song with feeling and grace, and then succeeded in immediately getting all of our family and friends on the dance floor. There was not a moment that the band was playing in which people were not dancing. Miles and the band showed not only top-notch musicianship, but developed an easygoing and jovial rapport with the crowd. Of all of the aspects of our wedding, we have heard the most feedback about the music, which has been universally positive. Many of our loved ones commented that they felt they were at a concert rather than a wedding reception. The setlist was a great mix of songs from various genres and eras, proving that the band has a remarkable range and can cater to any audience. Simply put, if you’re searching for a live band to elevate your wedding or event with incredible music and vibrant energy, your search is over!

Best wedding band to book! We were looking for a band for our October wedding and came across the miles band and instantly knew they were the one. Miles was very helpful and responsive throughout the process. Miles helped me with every request I had, even learning a new different type of song to walk down the aisle to. The band had every guest dancing and singing along all night! The guests are still raving about them! We couldn’t recommend the miles band more!

My husband, Stephen and I hired Miles to play acoustic guitar for our wedding ceremony and dinner reception this past November at Grafton Inn. He was amazing and exceeded all our expectations. He is incredibly talented and personable. Everyone could not stop talking about what a great addition he was to our wedding. Miles took the time to learn special songs for us which was so nice and thoughtful. He was so friendly and a pleasure to work with. 10/10! He is the best :)

Peter and the Miles Band were absolutely fantastic to work with - we hired them for our wedding at Scott Farm Orchard in Brattleboro in September. Peter was great to work with from start to finish, very communicative and took the time to hop on a few zoom meetings to make sure we got every detail right. The music was unbelievable, all of our guests kept telling us how amazing the band was. We hired Peter and his jazz trio for the ceremony and cocktail hour, and they did not disappoint! It made for such nice ambiance. I would highly recommend them to anyone, such a great group of professionals with an extensive song list that know how to sing and play!!

Peter Miles and The MILES Band were absolutely amazing to work with! Peter Miles was easy to communicate with, was very responsive to our requests/wants, and was a great emcee for our wedding!!! We hired just Peter Miles for the ceremony music, and he did a beautiful job - the music was just perfect. He was so flexible with learning any song we wanted, but also being able to provide suggestions and ideas when we were unsure what we wanted! The whole band played for the receptions (and you definitely want to include the horns!) and they had our dance floor filled - which is exactly what we wanted. Our guests raved about the band and had so much fun dancing to their wide range of songs. We had them learn songs for our first dance and our last dance and they absolutely nailed them - it was just what we imagined and the band was friendly and played the whole night - I highly recommend Peter Miles and The MILES Band! I would hire them again in a heartbeat!

We had Peter Miles do our ceremony music and we were absolutely blown away! He was very easy to communicate with and was so patient as we were navigating the specifics of the day. He has a large catalogue of songs and even offered to learn a song for our recessional. Peter is so talented and has a gorgeous singing voice - as the bride, I had the privilege of being behind our guests when he started to sing and got to see everybody’s reaction to his beautiful voice. It was a very cool memory to have for the day.

The MILES band was a great choice with a wide range of music.

Miles and his band were absolutely fantastic. Our communications in the months leading up to our daughter's wedding could not have been easier or more friendly. He was very open and willing to accommodate our needs, and gave great suggestions throughout the process. Most importantly, Miles and his band are fantastic musicians with incredible range and energy...they kept the party rocking from beginning to end! We are super grateful to them for helping make the wedding so much fun for all, and cannot recommend them strongly enough for your next function. You won't be disappointed.

We first heard Miles play at my sister's wedding in Manchester VT in 2022. They did such an awesome job it was a no brainer to hire them for our wedding in Stowe VT in September 2023. Yet somehow, they exceeded our expectations! Miles is so easy to work with and very responsive over email. They do a great job reading the crowd and playing music to match that energy. I know play pretty much every type of music, but know they really exceled with classic rock, alt rock, jam songs, pop rock, etc. We used their speaker/mic for our ceremony, and had them play some jazz during the cocktail hour, both of which went off without a hitch. Highly recommend!

We received so many compliments from our wedding guests; the band kept our guests on the dancefloor all night. Miles (lead singer & guitarist) played acoustic guitar at our ceremony, which was so beautiful. They did such a fantastic job. You will not have to worry about this group of professionals; they will provide an unforgettable experience. Worth it!!!!

We LOVED working with Miles & having the Miles Band at our wedding!! The music was great and everyone was on the dancefloor the whole reception! We received countless comments from guests about how much they all enjoyed the music selection & how much fun energy they brought to the whole night.
Miles was just as great during the planning process leading up to our big day too. As big live music fans, we knew we wanted a band over a DJ and we originally considered the Miles Band because of their different pricing offers & options. Miles was flexible about allowing us to change how many band members were included (ultimately we went with the full 6 piece band!) and even added on additional options for ceremony music and the Jazz Trio for our cocktail hour! The band was able to learn & play a few of our specialty dance songs as well, which added a special touch to the night! If you are looking for music for your event, you will not be disappointed with the Miles Band!!

My husband and I were married at the Grafton Inn in June. After hearing Peter Miles perform several times at the Phelps Barn pub, we asked him to sing at our welcome bonfire. What a talented musician! Our guests loved the relaxed vibe of the night and told us over and over how much they enjoyed the music, which ranged from vintage James Taylor to Ed Sheehan covers, and included some fantastic original songs as well. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, Miles, for helping to make our wedding weekend so memorable!

Miles and his band are absolutely fantastic. They are amazing musicians, have an extensive, varied repertoire (with music for all generations) and are very personable as well. Guests of all ages were dancing all night. People kept coming up to me to tell me how amazing the band was. I had seen them in concert a number of times over the years and was SO excited when they were available to play for my son's wedding. They did not disappoint! Miles was also a pleasure to work with. He was generous with his time before the wedding and not only helped us plan the timeline, but made sure he understood my son and daughter -in-law’s vision of the reception and was able to provide exactly what they wanted. He also provided the music for the ceremony and played solo for appetizers and that all was perfect as well. I couldn’t have asked for a better performance or band!!!

The BEST VT band for weddings & events!
I've fortunately had the opportunity to work with Miles and his band many times, as I'm the Event Coordinator, for a popular Inn that regularly hosts weddings in Southern Vermont. The Miles Band is always my go-to recommendation for couples or clients who are interested in hiring either a solo acoustic guitar player (Miles himself,) duo or trio for cocktail hour, or the full band to play for their reception.
When I began to plan my own wedding, hiring Miles and his band was a no-brainer. We asked Miles to perform solo for our cocktail hour and then his band joined him for the reception. We knew they were the perfect band for our wedding since we had guests ranging from young adults to elderly folks. They had everyone dancing and we still get so many comments about how great they were! Not only are they insanely talented musicians, they are professional, organized and always so accommodating to individual requests.
Thank you Miles for everything - we had the time of our lives dancing the night away at our wedding! I will continue to recommend you to anyone looking for outstanding music at their own wedding or event - always!!

Peter did a great rendition of "Forever Young" by Rhianonn Gidden and was flexible and supportive when my husband and I asked to sing a song in lieu of a first dance. The jazz trio was also wonderful. I couldn't say more positive thing about this band!

The MILES band was an awesome addition to our wedding day and I would recommend them to the highest degree. From our first communications months ahead of time to the day of, Miles was prompt, professional, and friendly. He performed solo acoustic for our ceremony, emceed our event and brought the whole five-piece band for our reception. The range of his performances was spectacular, from intimate and calm to full-scale party, the energy he brought was always perfect for the moment! Our venue had very strict decibel limitations and he was very flexible and willing to work with our coordinators to ensure he could deliver the very best experience. Days afterwards, the staff went out of their way to comment that the band was the best one they had ever hosted at the venue. My wife and I put live music high on our list of priorities and I can say with confidence that Miles and his band absolutely delivered on all fronts. We cannot wait to hear him play again and will be searching for any opportunity to do so!

We had the chance to see Miles play at Mount Snow before hiring him and loved the sound of his voice. Let me tell you, whether you hire him, the jazz trio or the band (we had all three throughout the day), you will not be disappointed. They played all night, keeping everyone singing and dancing. They played mostly classic rock hits and a few newer modern songs, which is exactly what we wanted. Miles nailed our first dance to "The Bones" by Maren Morris. All of them were extremely nice and flexible. You won't regret hiring them!

We are so happy we hired The Miles Band for our wedding day!! The band was so easy to work with from our first inquiries down to the very last song on our wedding day. I can't speak highly enough of the professionalism this band has both on and off stage. They were punctual, organized, and quite honestly put on an excellent show. The band covers so many genres of music, knows a ton of songs, and does all of them really well. It was so awesome to see people in their teens/early 20s all the way to 70s out on the dance floor enjoying the music. If you and your guests want to dance all night long, this band is the band to hire! We are already looking forward to when we can see them play next!!

Miles was the perfect addition to our outdoor welcome party - he is such a skilled musician and played lovely songs that were perfect for the evening - we are still getting compliments on how great he was. Communication was quick and easy and I am so happy we had Miles provide the background music for our event, it elevated our evening and so much better than no music, or an iPod.. Miles is DEFINITELY worth it!! He was so easy going during the event as well (as we had a delayed start to our speeches and his scheduled break) - I only wish we had more time for him to play and that the music didn't have to stop. I highly recommend Miles - either solo or with the band - you and your guests will love him! I searched for many local musicians in Southern VT and Miles was our top choice- so we were so excited he was available!

If you are looking for incredible acoustic guitar as a background for your ceremony entrance, and an acoustic guitar / singer for a great backdrop to your cocktail hour, look no further than Miles. We actually discovered Miles when he was playing at The Grafton Inn for a Friday night entertainment. His music was beautiful, relaxing, and he covers everything from The Beatles to John Mayer to Country and full spectrums in between. He was easy to communicate with, and we received many compliments on not only the music itself, but the sound quality during the ceremony / cocktail hour.

For our cocktail hour, Miles offered a fantastic jazz trio. They learned an impressive list of our favorite Bossa Nova tunes, and played them beautifully. For dancing, we enjoyed the full sound of their whole ensemble, including a fantastic female vocalist. They kept us all on the dance floor, all night long!
The whole band also looked great - dressed stylishly and appropriately. I was surprised that the band only took one short break halfway through the party - just long enough for our cake cutting. Miles learned a new song at our request for our recessional, and the band expertly modified our first dance song so we could make it last longer.
Corresponding with Miles was a delight. He is responsive, impeccably professional, and courteous. He answered our every question patiently and knowledgeably, and was willing to tweak our contract to fit our needs perfectly.
The Miles Band (in all its iterations throughout our special day) was our smartest wedding investment. We couldn't be happier with every moment of their performance, and our guests echoed that compliment in spades. They were a huge part of what made it our Best Day Ever!

We wanted a great band for the wedding and The Miles Band did not disappoint one bit. If you’re in southern Vermont and a little nervous about finding a band for your wedding, your search is over - book them today!
On a perfect Vermont mid-June evening outdoors under a big tent, The Miles Band played a flawless set. The thing that stands out with this band is how the front line of Peter (guitar), Molly (percussion), Tim (bass), and right behind them Sean (drums), take turns on lead vocals. This allows for an amazing range of song selections. The musicianship of all the band members was incredible. Peter Miles and The Miles Band transcend the wedding band category. They had the entire dance floor packed from the first song to the last. The amount of people that have come to us telling us how good the band were is unbelievable.
I think I’m going to gatecrash future weddings just to hear these guys play again and relive our amazing wedding night.

We hired Peter Miles and The MILES Band for our wedding day and they were amazing! They are all so incredibly talented and they made our day even more special than it already was. Their song list is extensive - I'm pretty sure they play almost every single genre. They even learned 3 songs for our first dance, mother/son and father/daughter dances! I gave Miles a little bit of direction about how we wanted them to sound and they were beyond perfect.
We also had Miles play for the ceremony. He played acoustic guitar and made the day so intimate and beautiful.
If you are looking for a band for your wedding, I highly suggest Peter Miles and The MILES Band! They are all so talented, friendly and performing is clearly their passion. You could tell that they truly enjoyed playing for our wedding as much as our guests enjoyed them!

Peter Miles and the Miles band were incredibly easy to work with and awesome to have as part of our big day! They covered music for the ceremony, cocktail hour and reception, all of which our guests raved about. We told them our likes and dislikes, and handled the rest- couldn’t have imagined it more perfect! The dance floor was packed solid the entire night- a total blast had by all! Looking for our next reason to throw a party so we can hire them again!

Thanks so much for your kind words, M! That was such a great party. That super-fun energy ...
your friends and family showed on the dance floor made it a blast for everyone in the band, too!
Hope all is well with you,

YES, YES, & YES! We had him play at an elegant dinner party after being in awe after hearing him at a friend’s wedding. It was truly a night I will never forget thanks to him! He’s incredibly talented, versatile, and well-versed in everything from James Taylor to Grateful Dead. His renditions were fresh and his passion for music is tangible. We had so much fun listening and singing along to his incredible song choices all night. He had the perfect vibes for our evening and I’m looking for an excuse to book him again for something, he was that amazing! Also, he is a pleasure to work with, great communicator, professional, and an overall awesome guy!

My husband often says that Peter Miles was one of the best and easiest pieces of our wedding. I don't quite know how to put into words how at ease he made us feel about learning the songs for our processional and recessional songs during our ceremony, as well as accommodating all our requests for the cocktail hour. This is on top of an already amazing song list he presented us with. Without fail, every guest we talked to was blown away by Peter Miles. We have already had guests from our wedding book him for future events. He is flexible, warm, easy going and beyond talented. We highly highly highly recommend Peter Miles.

Peter Miles & The Miles Band were beyond amazing. From our initial conversation, to all of my emails, to their performance at our wedding, they blew us away. Peter is such an awesome guy and is so easy to talk to. The guys in the band are also all great guys, you can really tell that they love what they do. I have had almost all of our guests tell me they were super impressed with the band and some even want to book them for their own events! They learned our first dance song for us, which is a bit different (Stick Figure - All My Love) and they killed it!! I really can't say enough good things about these guys. If you are looking for a band to get your people up and dancing book the Miles Band, you will not be sorry!! Thanks for helping make our wedding the best night of our lives.

Miles and The MILES Band are absolutely amazing! From the moment we initiated an inquiry with Miles he was prompt in responding to us. After chatting with him on the phone, hearing his music and seeing the list of songs they play we knew they were the band for us and we could not have been more thrilled with their performance. Through the entire process leading up to our wedding Miles was quick to respond, worked with us to accommodate our wedding timeline as well as learning special songs for us.
The music that Miles (solo) learned for our ceremony was so special for us to have and extremely well done, absolutely amazing! The music that the band learned for us for our entrance song, first dance and father daughter dance were outstanding.
The MILES band are a very talented group of musicians. They had our dance floor packed the entire time. We got so many compliments from our guests about our band! I highly recommend Miles and The MILES Band!

We hired Miles to play acoustic for our Friday night Welcome Party before our wedding. Hiring him and setting up the details was such an easy process. He sent us a song list to choose from which was just what we were looking for! During our welcome party he was set up to play outside, and when it started raining, he was very accommodating, taking his guitar and walking around the front porch of the hotel serenading our guests! Our guests loved him and he was such a fun addition to our party! I would definitely recommend him to anyone who asked, he was great to work with!!

Miles was the perfect addition to our special day! We had a very small wedding (<15 people) in Wilmington, Vermont, and he came highly recommended by our local event planner. We were lucky enough to meet him in the earlier planning stages of our wedding, as he was in town while we were visiting the area. Miles was very professional, and stayed in great communication throughout the entire process. His song selection was great, and he thought of every little detail when planning, as to avoid any potentially awkward song selections for us - or our guests.
Miles even accommodated a couple special requests. We were married outdoors, and then transitioned indoors for a cocktail hour, and he had everything set up to play both locations well ahead of time. While all the songs he plays are amazing, he specially learned our first dance request, and possibly performs it better than the original... We won't say who, to "protect the innocent." We could never speak highly enough of Miles, but it's also important to point out that his pricing is very fair, and worth every penny and more. We can't wait to be able to see a show out some time, or find another reason to have the Miles play another event for us!

The Miles Band rocked our Vermont barn wedding! We were very happy with the communication from Miles and together we were able to tailor a set list and schedule to fit our celebration. They had our guests on the dance floor from the first song to the last! We had some special requests, including learning a first dance song, letting the groom's band play a short set, and even a surprise musical toast from the father of the groom. They were extremely accommodating and flexible and this personalized approach really made a difference! We had guests ranging in age from 1 to 94, and the band was able to find a little something for everyone to get down to. Highly recommended!

We had a fantastic wedding reception thanks to Peter Miles and his band. I had hired them based on reviews and listening to their samples online, and I fully intended to make it to one of his regular public gigs to listen in person, but in the end I couldn't find the time to get there, so was the tiniest bit nervous never having heard them in person. I should not have worried--Miles and the band were amazing. We had a jazz trio playing during our cocktail hour, then the whole band on the stage during the dinner/dancing part of the reception. Both were perfect--they were able to read the crowd and pick the right sound for the right moment of the evening. Miles had our guests of all generations up and dancing. Hire this band!

The Miles Band was absolutely amazing! They made our wedding perfect! They were willing to travel to Lake George, NY from Brattleboro, VT for our event and I can't even put into words how professional and fun they were! They got everyone up and dancing! The Miles Band learned new songs for our wedding and they were perfect! My mom was high-fiving the whole band after they finished the song for our dance. From beginning to end they were fun, energetic, and great! Can't say enough good things about them!

The Miles Band was everything we wanted for our wedding day! Miles was extremely responsive throughout the planning for our wedding and worked with our venue as well so that everyone was on the same page come the big day. Miles himself played for our ceremony on acoustic guitar and then we had the four piece band play for the rest of the day. He was extremely professional in all of our communications with him and worked with other vendors throughout the day to make sure everything ran smoothly.
The staff at our venue said that they have never had a wedding there with as many people on the dance floor for as much of the night as they did when we had Miles playing! He and the band are fantastic musicians with a great set list that kept everyone dancing all night! People could not stop raving throughout the entire night and even after our wedding about how fantastic the band was. They were the absolute highlight of the evening and we cannot say enough about them. If you do not book this band you are missing out in a BIG way!

My husband and I feel so fortunate to have had the perfect wedding day for us - from the importance our family/friends' attendance and the beauty of the ceremony, all the way down to the elegance of the reception space and the clear, mild weather. However, of all of the components that went into the weekend we have heard the most feedback on the quality of the band. Without a doubt, Miles and The Miles Band were the highlights of the day.
We used Miles for our acoustic ceremony music and a solo acoustic cocktail hour; following dinner The Miles Band played two amazing sets that had the dance floor packed from start to finish. Miles and his band learned three new songs for us - two for the ceremony, and one for our first dance. Miles rightly reserves the right to build the set list for the evening, however he was very accommodating about taking our preferences and feedback into consideration. His song list is extensive, and he is very skilled at putting together a set list that increases in fun and intensity as the evening goes on (e.g. starting the evening with classic rock, and migrating more towards funk at the end). The value of Miles and The Miles Band is unparalleled.
Without sounding too much like an emotional bride, it should be said that Miles' voice can literally bring you to tears - the sincerity and clarity of his voice is unrivaled across all levels of the music scene. If you're looking for a communicative, professional, kind-hearted, and talented solo act/band I would suggest no one else than Miles!!
