The Carmine Band

ndemic, he had to play outside, under some space heaters. And he did so without objection. Would have no reservation recommending him. Can't go wrong with Carmine

of Whitney Huston's classic "The Best" for our first dance. This band is the only way to go!

ur guests are still talking about how much fun they had with the band. Carmine also have us great ideas to involve everyone in special moments, which helped to make our day so great. Highly recommended, amazing musicians! Thank you, Carmine Band! - Taryn & Jonathan

ted us with Carmine, and right off the bat he was a friendly, fun, cool person to talk with and had an easygoing but incredibly professional approach. We had a couple of calls with him before the wedding and just hung up each time feeling like we had a great conversation; we never had to stress about the details. They have a sound person who was phenomenal at setting up everything and also was able to do the mic our officiant needed for our outdoor ceremony. When the band's lead guitarist had an emergency, Carmine stepped in to play keyboard alongside our wonderful venue owner/coordinator and cellist, Molly, to make our ceremony music wishes happen. The band learned a song for our first dance, and it was so special for us. Their stage presence is something people are STILL talking about, over a year later. The songs they picked fit in so well with the vibe and they knew how to tailor things as the night went on. They got everybody up and moving, for sure. I will never forget watching one of our little flower girls lose her mind when they played Michael Jackson for her; she was completely over the moon. The whole night felt like we had our own personal concert - could there be anything better? If it's not already apparent, I would recommend The Carmine Band in a heartbeat!

a great repertoire and an incredible stage presence. Highly recommend. Super easy to work with and very flexible. Book now - you won't regret it!

, my husband's 90 year old grandma was getting down on the dance floor. His band played a variety of hits for all listeners. As a type A human being, I sent Carmine a spreadsheet of all of the songs/ artists we hoped to hear that night. It didn't even phase him, he thoughtfully used our requests to plan the music for our big day. He went out of his way to make sure our favorites were included, ending the night with "This will be" by Natalie Cole. He made sure our special dances were learned and executed tastefully by the band to ensure we felt connected in those moments. We had a smaller dance floor, Jones' Landing/ Harbor View on Peaks Island. Before our big day, Carmine shared how he envisioned setting up the space. He arrived hours before our wedding started to make sure they were prepared and ready to go. My husband is a HUGE Star Wars nerd, and Carmine went out and bought us a light saber star wars cake cutter to celebrate. He EVEN played Star Wars themed songs through out the night. Compared to other bands, Carmine was VERY reasonably priced and the quality was worth so much more. We really wish we could get married again as The Carmine Band created the most magical evening ever. Stop what you're doing RIGHT NOW and book them! You will be so glad you did. You can thank me later :)

t value!

m the day that we reached out, The Carmine Band was so easy to work with, extremely communicative, and flexible. The evening before our wedding, the bride's grandfather put in a request for a song for the two of them to dance to and the band happily coordinated among themselves to make it happen. The night of, the sets were perfect and our guests didn't want the music to end. Even after the last song, the band took one more request, which was such a fun note to end on. We highly recommend hiring the Carmine Band for your wedding or event!

e night depending on what everyone is enjoying dancing to and overall just did a stellar job.

ted to do was get up on the dance floor. Carmine had to ask our guests to sit down to eat dinner because everyone just wanted to dance. Carmine was also so amazing to work with leading up to our wedding, talking through our songs for our various dance, ceremony, etc. He is so organized and made the night PERFECT!

ooking for something. When I was looking for a wedding band I was reading tens of profiles thinking a lot of bands seemed great, how was I going to choose the right one for us? We went with the Carmine band and are so grateful that we did. The music was amazing. Every time someone talks to us about our wedding they always mention how great the band was first and foremost. They can play pretty much anything and if they dont know a song, they’ll learn it. What amazed me was they don’t come with a specific set list, they read the crowd and play what keeps people on the dance floor. We got to sit down with Carmine before the big day and go over the vibe we were looking for and he took those notes and made it the most amazing night for us. I really can’t recommend this band enough, book them for your wedding / event, you’ll be glad you did!

layed music from at least 4 or 5 different decades. The number one reason we hired them was their expertise in reading the crowd to get everyone on the dance floor, and man, did they DELIVER!! Perfect flow of the evening- they knew just how to organize it and what to play. Can not even count the number of people who asked us about this band!! If you want a fun wedding with great music, and everyone dancing all night long, hire The Carmine Terracciano Band!!!

e festivities, The Carmine Band made it a priority to meet with us to discuss our needs, and made the whole planning process a breeze! They were receptive to our ideas, and offered suggestions that would make the big day the best it could possibly be for everyone. On the day of the wedding, the band arrived on time, and setup quickly and efficiently. The introductions were smooth, and the dinner music provided a relaxing atmosphere. The Carmine Band even went above and beyond in learning songs that we specifically requested for the traditional dances, which added a memorable touch to the reception. As the evening went on, the band played an excellent mix of modern and classic songs; intertwining upbeat dance music, and songs that we know and love to slow dance to! The dance floor was packed from start to finish, and by the looks on guests faces, it was clear that everyone was really enjoying the party! From start to finish the Carmine Band provided a top notch experience, at a reasonable price. Almost a year after our wedding, when we visit with folks and reminisce about our special celebration, it's not the flowers, the dinner, or even the home made beer that they talk about...it's the band!

and and could not stop praising the musicians and female singer. Carmine is great to work with and does all of the announcements like a champ! They played an hour of cocktail music while the wedding party was taking pictures (think Frank Sinatra, Etta James), did the exact songs we picked out for the traditional dances, and kept the dance floor packed all night!! I highly recommend the Carmine Terracciano band for anyone's wedding or special event!

ect mix of instruments and vocals but Carmine was also great to work with leading up to our big day! He had great suggestions on details to add to our dances and also learned a few songs for us so we could make the evening extra special! I would highly recommend this band to anyone and will absolutely look to use them again!

guys when we met with Tony and Carmen last winter. They are so fun and dedicated to making your night great. They patiently stood through 4 long speeches and smiled/sweated through the room being close to 90 degrees (broken air conditioner at the venue). My father re-wrote the lyrics to a song for our father daughter dance (amazing) and the band nailed it. We could not have asked for anything more!

t if you have them at your wedding you will not have to worry about a thing. They have the timing, all the sequences of events DOWN, and Tony will make sure everything goes smoothly. The thing is, if you are a micro-managing bridezilla, it won't work out. They do not take requests, except for the big events (first dance, father-daughter etc). They will read the crowd, and choose the perfect songs to make sure everyone is on the dance floor. If that bugs you, it won't be a good fit. But trust me, leave it to the band, and they will give you an amazing wedding.
