The Common Good

band, what a fun group! The Common Good was the band at my sister’s wedding too so we obviously already knew they would be fabulous. They didn’t disappoint the second time around either and I would highly recommend. Jess actually did my sister’s wedding, but Ray Ray (Jess’ backup) was the lead vocalist at ours since Jess was out. Both are honestly amazing, you can’t go wrong!! They are also very reasonably priced. Book early to get your date since the deposit amount is reasonable too. Then they typically handle all the details close to the wedding date so don’t sweat getting request lists together early or worry if they are slow to respond etc.

ved them--even our grandparents loved them. Working with them was incredibly fun, easy and accommodating. They were very good at reading the crowd and playing the right tunes; they learned our first dance song and even let us pick out the songs we wanted during their break. They also let us use their microphone/stand for our ceremony; and Jessica was our MC. I would recommend them in a heartbeat.

on Good had people up on the dance floor before the salads were even served and had to urge people to sit down to eat! Jess was great to work with and extremely accommodating. She was an excellent emcee and really helped keep the flow of the evening. We didn't have to worry about anything. We are glad that we can continue to hear them rock out at the East Bay Grille in Plymouth!

NG. My guests can't stop talking and asking me who I hired. From first speaking to them to the end of our wedding they were fantastic. Jess was so easy to work with and had so many suggestions about song choices when I had no idea what to do (entrances, processional, recessional, cocktail hour). Jess kept the party moving along and catered to everything we needed and wanted. Even during the breaks the dance floor was packed with their song choices on their ipod and even some Portuguese music they downloaded for my family to dance to. They got the crowd into every song no matter what it was. I was on the dance floor all night and my feet paid the price in the morning. They played so many different types of music because they have so many different people that sing. They played everything from old school, rap, country, rock, etc. People told me they requested songs that got played too! We also hired them to play the ceremony and cocktail hour and they did great. If you are looking for a band and want a group that knows how to party and keep the dance floor full, look no further! Thank you Common Good, you made our wedding a great time!

got engaged we immediately knew we had to book them for our own wedding. I booked them first and then chose my wedding date based on the bands availability, haha! These guys (and lady) are true professionals. I let the band decide what they were going to play based on what they noticed about my guests and the mood of the night. The Common Good did not let me down. All my guests danced all night long until the very last song. It was so much fun and 5 months later I am still getting compliments on our wedding band. If you want your wedding to be a blast, HIRE THEM. You will not be disappointed, I promise!

as on emcee and made sure everything moved smoothly. The band had a great rapport with our rowdy crowd and I would recommend them to anyone. Many of our guests were commenting that the Common Good was one of the best bands they had ever heard at a wedding. Thank you, the common good, for an AMAZING night.

end! They played everything! I cannot express how much fun they were and how they made our wedding awesome!!

nd almost 5 mins long) and they were able to edit it down to the time length we wanted and it was seamless. My husband and I were so amazed at how absolutely perfect it sounded. They also learned my dad and I's first dance song and pulled off a perfect transition to a flash Thriller dance we had planned. We had people telling us and my parents that they never dance at weddings, but after ours they were sore for days and couldn't get off the dance floor. Their transition music was 100% what I requested and again just seamless. We saw them play once at a showcase at Kings and we loved them. All 3 of the singers have their own unique sounds (1 female, 2 males) and they are able to cover such a huge variety. We got endless compliments on how much everyone enjoyed The Common Good. I can't wait to see them perform live again around Boston!

were ready to book. The booking procedure was painless and Jessica was immediately available to speak with us about our preferred setlist, the general feel of the wedding, and anything she could do to help. The band was able to provide amplification for our ceremony, an audio feed our videography team described as "bomb," and perfect emcee services during the reception. Nothing, though, was as impressive as their sound, with guest after guest asking us how we found the band and remaining on the dance floor for hours. The Common Good was able to read the room and keep the tunes flowing until the venue shut down. We couldn't be happier with the band and highly, highly recommend their services to any couples looking for a kickass wedding band guaranteed to rock all night.

modern day hits. We even hired one of the members to play at our ceremony and, same as the reception, he did a beautiful job. They took the time to listen to our requests and kept everything on schedule from the speeches, to the father/daughter & mother/son dances, to the cake and the rest of the party. They even took the time to learn to play our wedding song for our first dance (not a common hit) which made our debut extra special. Highly, highly recommended. A band will always cost more than a DJ, but relatively speaking, this group is affordable and well-worth the money. You won't regret hiring them!

ng for a band to get people out of their seats book them. I never left the dance floor.

up/replacing members 2 months before the wedding - stressful to say the least, but as soon as we saw The Common Good and found out (amazingly!) they had our day open we knew it was meant to be. Although it was stressful at the time, I am SO happy that it happened the way it did or else I might not have had this awesome band at my wedding! They were fun, energetic, and were so so so easy to work with. By the time I got to talk to Jessica on the phone, it was only 2-3 weeks before the wedding. I told her that our first dance, father/daughter, mother/son dances all weren't on their song list, but playing them on an iPod or whatever would be just fine if that was okay with them. Well, they blew me away and learned every single song, and sounded like they had been playing them for years. We were so impressed with them in every way. Everyone from my 6 year old nephew to my Grandma were on their feet and loved these guys!! Our guests kept talking about them and how great of a time they had at our reception!!

rs before the wedding season. They learned new music to play at our ceremony and met with us to go over details of the day. Jess and her band mates are not only talented musicians but also incredibly kind and so easy to work with. Our wedding was on an island in Maine and they travelled all the way there for us. They helped to create a fun atmosphere during the cocktail hour and played music that all generations enjoyed dancing to at the reception. We have received so many compliments on the Common Good since our wedding! My husband and I are looking forward to getting to hear them play again in Boston this winter!

easy to get in contact with, beyond helpful with planning and even more amazing on the actual day. Literally everyone I have talked to about my wedding has mentioned how great the band was. They played to the crowd with a variety of music and got EVERYONE up on their feet dancing. They were the best part of the night. I would HIGHLY recommend them!!!

lanning music really fun. So many guests told us this was the best wedding they have ever been to because the band was so amazing. They played non-stop dance music that kept our entire wedding going all night. My thighs still hurt from jumping around in my wedding dress all night! Their breaks were smooth and they played great DJ dance songs to make the breaks unnoticeable. Most importantly, this band prefects "Shout" a wedding staple that was amazingly executed by The Common Good. :)! 10/10 BEST BAND EVER!

d helped with the overall flow of the day. Awesome job. We were on our feet all night. All of our guests were very impressed. Highly recommended!
