The number of people who came up to me saying that Steve and his band was one of the best wedding bands they'd ever seen was too many to count. Their ability to read the room and m...
ake it so people literally couldn't leave the dance floor was amazing and made for such an incredible party that we wish we could relive over and over. We also had him the night before along with his trumpet player, and they even just the small duo was an incredible addition to the vibe of the night. Steve is also such a pleasure to work with and is really an expert in the wedding game, so you're in great hands working with him. I cannot recommend him enough!
Steve was communicative and very helpful in the planning stages. Ryan is a beautiful pianist and did a wonderful job during the ceremony. The band is fantastic and had everyone dan...
cing all night. They played old and modern hits and learned new songs for the first dance and parent dance. Multiple people complimented them throughout the night and days following the wedding. I cannot recommend them more highly!
My husband and I both knew we wanted a band for our wedding. We went to several showcases and local bars to listen to bands that friends recommended with no luck. We were super pic...
ky and really didn’t want a classic wedding band. We were two hours away when a friend recommended Steve Memmolo & Classic Yellow to us and told us that they were playing in Boston that night. We made the drive and it didn’t take long for us to realize that they were exactly what we were looking for. We booked the eight piece band immediately and we could not have been happier. Everyone danced all night and we could not recommend Steve and the Classic Yellow anymore… best decision by far!
Steve Memmolo & the Classic Yellow performed at my wedding in September 2019. They were absolutely stellar as I knew they would be having seen them many times around Boston. The da...
nce floor was packed all night and everyone continues to rave about how amazing the band was. The range of music they can sing is awesome, and they did a great job learning our first dance song. My husband and I couldn't be happier with our band choice - they really made the party and we had SO MUCH FUN!!
Steve Memmolo & Classic Yellow is the best wedding band out there! All of my wedding guests never stopped dancing and two brides at my wedding already booked them for their wedding...

g the excitement in the room. Some great classics as dinner was being served, and then each song built on the next as the all our guests were drawn to the dance floor experiencing this amazing band. Steve Memmolo’s lead and vocals and his incredible talent, and that of the band ensemble, provided for a flawless event. The day goes by fast so you want your special day to stand out to family and friends with something they always remember about your day, Steve and The Classic Yellow Band delivered these great memories.

Steve and the rest of Classic Yellow literally ROCKED our wedding. We are so happy! Steve was attentive and timely in responding to any and all questions/emails leading up to the b...
ig day. They showed up, set up, and carried out the ceremony, cocktail hour, and MC duties without any issues. The reception is when the real fun began. All our guests buzzed with how amazing they sounded and how awesome the music selection was. People stayed late to keep dancing and singing along. We'd pay the money and do it exactly the same way 100000 more times if given the choice. Hiring Classic Yellow was the best decision we made.
We loved our wedding band!! They did a great job with the set list and Steve new exactly how to get the crowd up and dancing. After the wedding, everyone raved about how good our...

ers wedding reception 3 weeks ago was one of our best decisions! It was a blast!
Steve and the band had the dance floor filled all night. He reads the crowd beautifully, fulfills all of the bride and groom's requests (and communicates really easily and professionally before the wedding), and makes everyone smile from beginning to end. They are a group of extremely talented musicians, and I am so, so glad we found them and hired them. Every, single, song was AMAZING.
I can't wait until the next occasion we need a band. No research will be necessary - Steve Memmolo and the Classic Yellow can't be beat. Thank you so much!
This month marks my wife Christina and I’s 2 year wedding anniversary. While looking back at videos and photos I realized the night was made by having the incredible band The Class...
ic Yellow , lead by Steve Memmolo.
We had 285 guests, each and every one of them said it was our band and the excitement they brought that made the night so special.
Planning a wedding is stressful, you are spending a lot of money with the hopes that the product will impress. When I found Steve, (playing out in Boston years before) I knew he would be my wedding band. When the time came to hire a band, it was the easiest decision of the entire process.
I asked for 8 piece, Steve said ok. I wanted horns, Steve said fine. We needed to incorporate traditional music, Steve and his band was accommodating. His archive of songs was phenomenal, especially with newer songs we wanted.
We can’t thank Steve and the amazingly talented musicians enough for making our wedding an event people still are talking about.
If you are currently looking at other wedding bands, just do yourself a favor and stop right now. You won’t find anyone better than Classic Yellow. All of our guests are STILL talk...
ing about how incredible they were. They had our guests dancing the entire night - people even commented to us that they’ve never seen such a packed dance floor at a wedding. Steve and the rest of the band were so accommodating, and learned some of our favorite songs, which made the day even more special. Picking Classic Yellow as our band was the best decision we made!!
Steve Memmolo and the Classic Yellow Band was the perfect band for our wedding! We had the most amazing time because of their high energy, amazing vocals and song selections. We a...
re still getting compliments today on how awesome our wedding was because of them! You will not be disappointed booking them!
Hiring Steve Memmolo & Classic Yellow was one of the best decisions we made. The process in the planning phase was EASY, we asked for Van Morrison and Lake St Dive for some of the ...
special dances, and they CRUSHED it. The band was respectful, fun, and Steve had a really nice leadership style (we had a lot of nerves, and really appreciated his cool and calm approach). The dancing crowd was happy and engaged through out -- if you need a wedding band, these guys are a no brainer.
I have worked with Steve and Classic Yellow a few times at Glen Magna Farms the Wedding Venue I am a coordinator at. They are extremely professional and fabulous to work with. Th...
ey have guests up and dancing from Introductions to the last song of the night. I would highly recommend them!!
What a great, fun and energetic band Steve and the group were. We were married July 4, 2017 in Newport, RI and were debating between a DJ or a live band. I can't believe that was...
even a debate for us. Steve and his band were able to engage the audience and get people up and dancing. Voices were beautiful, they all looked amazing too.
Steve Memmolo & Classic Yellow definitely enhanced our wedding day. We would highly recommend them. A live band with so much talent is the way to go!
Steve and Classic Yellow are fantastic performers! They are always well received. I've hired them multiple time for events and they are true professionals. Steve is often mistaken ...
for Ben Affleck, which has its own additional entertainment factor!

n the dance floor and our guests could not stop talking about how great they were and how much fun they had. Worth every penny!
My husband and I were married in July and hired Steve and his band to play our wedding. From the beginning Steve was helpful and professional in answering questions we had and draw...
ing up the contract. We hired Steve about a year before our wedding and he kept in contact throughout the year, and let us know when it was time to take action in choosing a no play list, sending over the agenda, etc. At the last minute Steve was not able to attend our wedding, which at first was devastating for us. In the end, Steve hired two musicians to replace him, and the night was perfect. The band played together seemlessly, and the dance floor was packed the whole night. People came up to me and raved about how perfect the band was, and said how they made the night. The band learned two songs for us and killed both of them. At the last minute we requested the Congo line to be done at some point in the evening. Steve mentioned they didn’t really have a dedicated Congo line song, but would try his best to have the band pull something together. Not only did the band “pull it together,” they absolutely crushed it. They played ‘Call Me Al’ and since 136 out of 139 of our guests were in the Congo line, the band read the room beautifully and kept extending the song and even started a new song with the same beat so we could keep going. It was a highlight of the evening. 3 weeks later I am still getting snap chats from my friends listening to the song and doing the Congo line in their living rooms. Everyone at the wedding will forever associate that song with our epic Congo line.
In a similar situation, we did the hora at the wedding and the band was able to read the room and extend it for as long as guests were into it!
On a personal note, one of the band members (maybe the drummer?) came up during one of the breaks to congratulate us on our special day. I expect that from the MC and lead guy, but it was really nice to hear from one of the band members. He also seems really genuine, and it didn’t seem forced or like an obligation.
I told Steve the week of the wedding that after Thursday he would not hear from me because once we started the weekend festivities all of my planning was going to be over. He respected that, and I didn’t hear from him either. Everything worked out really well, without me overseeing a single thing. As I walked down the aisles, I wasn’t even sure anyone had told the person running the music where to be or stand but honestly it was seemless without getting me or my husband involved. They worked with our wedding planner and took care of everything on their own without consulting my husband or I which was amazing because it allowed us to enjoy our day to the fullest.
The band also traveled to Burlington, Vermont for the wedding.
I would highly recommend this band for your special day!
We LOVED having Steve Memmolo and The Classic Yellow play at our wedding. My husband and I saw the band play at Lucky's Lounge on one of our first dates, and we've loved them since...
then. When it came time to pick a band for our wedding, Steve was the first (and only!) person we contacted. He was incredibly accommodating and easy to work with throughout the planning process. He even learned a few of our favorite songs for us, which we really appreciated. At the wedding, Steve and the band were amazing. They played a mix of contemporary music and wedding classics -- there was truly something for everyone. It was clear that our guests had so much fun dancing and singing at the wedding! Steve was also a great emcee throughout the wedding reception. One of my biggest complaints about wedding entertainment is the cheesiness of it all, but Steve is the exact opposite of cheesy. He's classy, funny, and got the job done in the best possible way. I HIGHLY recommend Steve Memmolo and The Classic Yellow for wedding entertainment. I also highly recommend going to see the band at one of their local gigs -- once you see them live, you'll know how perfect they are for weddings!
Steve Memmolo & Classic Yellow played at our wedding at the Boston Harbor Hotel in June of 2016. They were awesome! Two years later and I still have guests comment to me about ho...
w amazing the band was. Steve is a really nice guy and was super easy to work with. The band has a great repertoire of classics and new songs that they mixed up well to keep all of our guests--young and old--on the dance floor all night. We could not have been happier with them! We also used Classic Yellow for music during our cocktail hour. It was a smaller subset of the band (Jazz Trio) and they were perfect for what we were looking for.
Classic Yellow performed at our daughter’s engagement party in April. We had never see them perform edited that night but my daughter and her fiancé had seen them on bars and sai...
d Steve and the band really knew how to get the crowd going! They were so right! Everyone was on their feet dancing the night away. From slow and sultry to current and some older dance hits, they played it all! Not only are they talented but they were a pleasure to work with all the way through the process. Highly recommend them!!
Easily the best money you can spend on your wedding day.
Some of the best live music any of the guests have ever heard and had every single guest on the dance floor. Would hire a...
gain 10/10.
If you are not hiring these guys you are missing out.
Steve and Classic Yellow played at our August wedding. They were so accommodating, easy to work with, took song requests ahead of time, and made our dance party an absolute blast. ...
Steve and the band are able to move seamlessly from one genre to another, adjusting based on our preferences and the crowd. They are so talented, so fun, and I am so, so glad we chose them to play at our wedding.
Steve and his band are absolute pros. Steve has been performing for so many years, his professionalism, and comfort commanding a performance is awesome to watch and be apart of. H...
e always gives 110% and focuses on making sure your wedding is full of life energy and great memories. Highly recommended!!
The Classic Yellow is AMAZING. I really wanted a live band because I just feel it gets the crowd going more. I appreciate that this can be a gamble, as most of my friends and famil...
y tried to warn us, but it was really what I wanted. My husband’s only stipulation was that he wanted to be able to hear the band first. Luckily, at the time TCY was playing weekly at Lucky’s Lounge in Seaport. So we went. They opened up with their own rendition of Big Poppa and I looked at my husband and said, “Yup, that’s them. We’re booking this band”. Long story short—boy was I right. Two years later, people STILL ask us about the band at our wedding. Steve and the band are completely professional. They played a little bit of everything for every age. My ONLY regret is that we didn’t extend the night and book them for another hour. I HIGHLY recommend this band. And you can still go hear them play ahead of time at Capo. Go have a date night and get a preview of what your big day will be like!
When people bring up our wedding, The Classic Yellow is all they want to talk about. They had everyone up in their feet the entire night. So many of our friends have tried to book ...
them since seeing them at our wedding. Incredible band, can’t imagine what the night would have been like without Steve and the crew!
The Classic Yellow played at my best friend’s wedding last summer, and was by far the best part of the day. Steve is so versatile and knew exactly how to feel the crowd. Everyone f...
rom her grandfather to her youngest niece was on the dance floor until the very last song! It’s also incredible that you can catch them playing around at some great bars in Boston, they are just not your typical wedding band. I would highly recommend Steve and the Classic Yellow for any event or wedding.
Above everything else about our special day that my wife and I look back on, having our parents and every single guest, regardless of age, dancing and singing along with Steve Mem...
molo and his amazing band are the memories that we cherish the most! Steve, along with Vincent and Lindsay, brought so much positive energy to our wedding and I'm still touched by the memories of all of the smiles and laughter. I've heard from so many wedding coordinators since, that the band is one of the most memorable parts of any wedding. We received SO many compliments about the band, even though we actually spent way more on the catering. Steve, first of all, is an INCREDIBLE vocalist, guitarist, and overall front man. He's hilarious, fun, and he's great and keeping the momentum moving throughout the evening. We were worried about a wedding band/singer looking like a wedding singer, especially for photos and for the guest's perception, but I can assure you that Steve and his band have so much class in their performance and presentation. Hiring Steve was the best decision we made for our wedding day -- hands down!
One of the most important things you want at your wedding is people on the dance floor having a good time. That is exactly what Steve Memmolo and the Classic Yellow will bring for ...
you. Hands down the best decision we made was hiring them. I can’t count how many people have told me it was the best wedding they’ve been to and I truly believe a huge part of that was because of this band. Anyone that was engaged at our wedding asked us for their information. Book them now, you won’t regret it! And if you do, I’m jealous I won’t be at that wedding....
Booking Steve & The Classic Yellow for our wedding day was one of the best decisions we have ever made. They made the night 10 times better and are the best wedding band I have eve...
r heard to this day. They can play anything, and I mean ANYTHING. From classic rock, to Frank Sinatra, to R&B, their song list is extensive and they will even learn a song for your big day if you request it ahead of time (we had them play Pony by Ginuwine and everyone went crazy). All of our wedding guests couldn't believe how amazing they were, and we can't thank them enough for making our night so much fun. BOOK THEM!
Steve Memmolo and the Classic Yellow played our wedding recently and I can't recommend them highly enough. Steve was easy to work with from the beginning, was up front about pricin...
g and availability, and followed through on everything we discussed. Their playlist is wide ranging, and the performance they gave at the wedding was flawless. The dance floor was packed the entire night. You won't regret hiring Steve and his very talented band.
Just 3 years ago Classic Yellow played at my daughter Meredith’s wedding in Mystic Ct. As someone who is in the hospitality industry....Classic Yellow is the most incredible band ...
and just so talented!!! Can a good band make your function? Steve and Classic Yellow will have everyone talking for years to come!
Steve Memmolo is the best wedding front man of all time. It also helps that his band is unreal as well. Hiring them to play our wedding was by far the best purchase of our wedding....
They absolutely crushed it! I would pay double what we paid them they were so good. HIRE THEM FOR YOUR WEDDING!!!
Steve Memmolo and the Classic Yellow made our wedding and everyone involved agrees it was the best purchase we made. It would have only been a fraction of the fun without them. The...
y're not an ordinary band that plays the same old playlist. They'll play unique songs that you want to hear and they'll even learn a few for you. Steve also has a natural ability to feel out the crowd, knowing just the right stuff to play. Next big party I have, I'll be calling him. He was worth every penny.
We couldn’t have asked for a better band for our wedding! I first saw The Classic Yellow perform at Lucky’s Bar in Boston. At that time I wasn’t engaged, or even in a relationship!...
After their set was done I went up and asked if they’d play at my wedding. A few years later it became a reality! Our guests loved them and Steve couldn’t have been easier to deal with. I’d recommend them a thousand times over.
