You must book EBS! They were such a bargain for what we got. Fil was so helpful leading up to the wedding, answering our questions and making sure we had all the details worked out ahead of time. He was a great emcee as well for intros and speeches. Our guests were on the dance floor all night thanks to the great vibes provided by the band, can’t recommend them enough!
We used them for both our cocktail hour (with Fil doing an acoustic set) and our reception (full band with a Saxophone). THey brought the house down and everyone had so much fun! Fil was also a very organized and professional MC and made sure that all of the music coordination went seamlessly from Ceremony to Cocktail Hour to First Dances to Reception. They communicated well throughout the planning process to ensure the setlist and all music was to our liking. It couldn't have gone any better and we would highly recommend them for any wedding or private events!
EBS was AMAZING at our wedding!! They were extremely easy to work with and our guests had an absolute blast! Fil was very professional and organized, and helped us throughout the whole process of selecting music. They truly know how to keep the crowd engaged, our dance floor was packed the whole night! You will be in good hands!
If you're considering a wedding band, look no further than The Emergency Broadcast System! Phil and his band were incredible every step of the way. They were so easy to work with—responsive, super accommodating, and dedicated to helping us curate the perfect set list for each part of our wedding: from the pre-ceremony, ceremony, and cocktail hour, to the reception. They truly captured our vibe and made each moment feel unique and special.
Phil and his band are not only a talented musicians but also an amazing MCs. They helped us pull off the best dance floor opening ever, making a fun and complex drinking game easy to play with all 150 guests. His energy was infectious, and he got everyone out on the dance floor right from the start. And it wasn’t just the younger crowd—everyone of all ages danced the night away!
The vocals and musical talent were out of this world, and the lighting added a stunning ambiance. The energy was electric from start to finish, including an unforgettable dance floor closer that left everyone buzzing. I honestly feel bad it took me so long to write this review, but we’ve been flooded with calls from friends and family telling us it was the most fun wedding they've ever been to.
If you want your wedding to be unforgettable, hire them, hire them, hire them!
We'll be traveling back to Massachusetts when we can to catch them play live at Carrie Nation or Landsdowne to relive how amazing it all was.
Thank you so much EBS!!!
EBS was absolutely fabulous and kept the dance floor packed all night! Fil was incredibly helpful during the preparation, making it easy for us to communicate our vision for the wedding. One of the best aspects of their service is that they’re not just a live band—they also offer full MP3/AV capabilities and performed live keyboard music for our ceremony. Our guests were so hyped up on the dancefloor at the end of the night that an encore was demanded.
I can’t recommend them enough! If you want your guests dancing all night long, look no further!
We had the pleasure of having Fil as our wedding singer, and he truly exceeded all our expectations. From start to finish, Fil was incredibly easy to communicate with throughout the entire process. Our wedding took place outdoors on Nantucket, which presented some logistical challenges, but Fil handled everything seamlessly. He communicated with us, and directly with the venue to ensure everything was in place.
He performed beautifully during our ceremony, cocktail hour, first dance, and dinner. The sound quality and vocals were absolutely perfect, even in the outdoor setting. His performance set the perfect tone for each part of the evening, and we received so many compliments from our guests about how fantastic the music was.
If you're looking for a talented, professional, and reliable wedding singer, we highly recommend Fil! He put on an excellent show and helped make our day unforgettable.
We used The Emergency Broadcast System for our wedding in Martha’s Vineyard September 2024. Our dance floor was non-stop, our compliments from guests on ALL the band members were outstanding. The sound quality was truly amazing, guests could talk, they could dance, and truly had the best time the entire night thanks to this band. The genre and variations of music played was so impressive you can tell they are all extremely talented musicians who love their job. Amazing amazing group of people, highly recommend their services.
I’ve danced the night away to this band twice now! The first time I heard them was at a wedding in Rhode Island and then at a big party on Cape Cod. They are so fun and lively, and their repertoire is wide! So much fun!
The EBS Band is 11/10! Booking and securing them for our wedding day was literally on the top of our "to do" list. We actually even made sure they were available before we even found out venue. Their electric energy, talent and professionalism was an absolute pleasure to work with. They were so receptive to any special requests we had. We had a very unique line up of things to ask of them. For example, a pre recorded speech from my father, a picture slideshow, mother daughter dance, a few special family requests, and a live last dance for my husband and I that the band actually learned specifically for our special moment. Fil learned the song for us at my surprise engagement and it was beyond special to us. The tunes kept flowing all night and the dance floor was constantly full of people litereally having the time of their lives. We cannot thank EBS enough for their appearance and dedication to our wedding. I know people will remember our wedding and the fabulous music we got to jam to!
Fil and the EBS band were incredible, and I am so glad we made the perfect decision for our wedding. Live music is a big part of our lives and relationship and we knew we wanted the vibes and energy of the Boston bar scene cover bands at our wedding. Of the many band leaders I talked to in the lead up, Fil was for sure the most easygoing and flexible in regards to our unique setup and what we wanted on our wedding day. While many other bands wanted to nickel and dime us for every little extra ask (e.g. having two sets of speakers inside a building and in a tent, lighting, special songs etc.), Fil was so flexible and ensured everything included in the base price. The ultimate kicker was EBS letting my new husband get up on stage and play 2 of our favorite songs together with the band, which absolutely made the night for us and required a great amount of work and planning that they graciously included for us. At the end of the night all our guests were chanting for an encore and did not want the music to stop. 5 stars all around and would recommend them to anyone who wants a hard rocking great time.
Whether you are planning something local, or doing a destination wedding like us, I could not recommend Fil enough. He is so easy to work with, extremely responsive and just an all around great guy!
We had seen Fil perform at a few breweries in the area and were blown away by his talent. We were planning our wedding in the Virgin Islands and hadn't booked a performer yet so we approached Fil after one of his sets and asked if he had ever done a destination wedding - to our surprise he had not but was totally on board with the idea. Fast forward to March 2024 where he put on an amazing performance for us on the beautiful island of St. John, USVI. All of our family and friends commented about how incredible he was, the staff at the restaurant and our photographers were blown away by him, and he absolutely nailed all the additional requests that we had him learn to make our perfect day even better.
Thank you for everything Fil!
This Band was beyond our greatest expectations. Fil was always so easy to talk to or text from the moment we booked the band. He met with us about a month before our wedding to discuss details. He gave suggestions that were helpful and learned a few songs that meant a lot to us. We barely sat down once the band started. Our friends kept saying they were going to sit down when they didn't like a song, however all the songs were amazing so many of our guests were on the dance floor most of the night. The band played starting at our ceremony, on to the cocktail hour and then the reception. They guided us when we needed it and were flexible with letting our son get up and sing. It was nice having a Woman in the band as well. She had an amazing voice! All of our family and friends commented on the Emergency Broadcast system Band on how they were fantastic! We would highly recommend them to anyone wanting to have a fun , dancing , professional Band. We owe so much of our special day to the Band. Thank You EBS

We hired Fil solo for our intimate backyard wedding after party and he was absolutely perfect. Every guest we had commented on his talent and he made the experience so much more lively and fun. He was professional in all communication we had with him and not to mention a cool guy all around. Wouldn’t have changed a thing. Without knowing about the band at first we realized Brooke (our incredibly talented wedding cake/cupcake designer) and Fil knew each other and had this great band. Hire them….for everything. Plain and simple.
EBS made our wedding night! Utmost professionalism, while super chill, fun and easy to work with. We like kind people and Fil is one of them for sure. He helped us plan out the evening's schedule (which is way more important than you might think!) and that made for a flawless and awesome party. We highly recommend The Emergency Broadcast System for any event and if we are planning anything else like it, we will certainly be reaching out to him.
The Emergency Broadcast System is a MUST book. Don't wait to book them for your next event. Fil was a breath of fresh air to work with, not overcomplicating the booking/contracting process one bit, and was very communicative. We sent him a few of our preferred songs for the evening and he built a setlist that perfectly mirrored the vibe we were going for. Cannot say enough good things about their performance that night, so effortlessly talented! Our personal favorite was their take on "Africa", incorporating many different sound elements into the song, which made the rendition that much more creative. We can't wait to work with EBS in the future and recommend them to all family and friends.
The Emergency Broadcast System played for our wedding Summer of 21’. They were exactly what we were looking for and appealed to all ages at the party. They were loud enough to enjoy and dance but we could still have conversations with our guests. Fil was so easy to deal with during the planning process. We can’t wait to hear EBS play again soon! Thank you Fil for help making a special night perfect.
