My daughter recently got married in Newport, Rhode Island, on September 14th, 2024. She choose to have her reception in a tent on the lawn of the Eisenhower House. The venue was stunning and the woman at EH recommended Clockwork as we were looking for a local band with horns to play at the reception. We were not able to hear them in person, but all the video's posted online more than helped our decision making process and we quickly booked the band 20 months in advance, It was our second decision in the wedding process after the venue -with many, many more to come, but without a doubt - IT WAS THE BEST DECISION!!!! Booking was easy - we sent a check to reserve the date. the catalog of music they are capable of playing is extensive. But we had a tremendous comfort level with Clockwork New England as the contract states YOU GET THE EXACT MUSICIANS you see on all the website videos. There are no switches, or long lists of band members they slot in on any given day. Everyone we saw and loved are the people that showed up for our event. From start to finish - the band rocked the night away - the dance floor was never empty. They sang the bride and grooms song 'You are the Best Thing" and it was spectacular. And every song after that just got us up off our feet. The horns added so much - we keep hearing from friends asking us who they were, because they LOVED the music. The interactions with the crowd also made the night so memorable - and some of the best videos of the night. The band worked well together - and we just cannot say enough about how much they added to the party. Patrick joined a zoom call we had w our planner a week or so earlier than the event - and went over every detail - completely putting our minds at ease. 5 stars are NOT ENOUGH!! They truly made our event the best it could have possibly been! I want to do it again!

Thank you Brick Park Entertainment and Julian for taking the trip from Boston Massachusetts to Western Connecticut to play at my daughter’s wedding. From the first email to the last song played working with Julian was a pleasure. He was accommodating, kind and very informative. The process of picking out songs, working on the timeline and introductions was very simple and straightforward. Everything we asked for was accommodated, even our special guest singer. Brick Park really brought the fun, so talented, it was more like a concert than a typical wedding. I would highly recommend getting the DJ to spin songs while the band takes a break.

Vibrant was fantastic for our March wedding. They brought amazing energy and class to our event, and guests are still raving about them a month later. The dance floor was packed for the entire evening. Lauren and Marlon are a dynamite lead-singing duo, and the instrumentalists are each incredibly talented. Justin was very responsive and easy to connect with leading up to the day, and accommodated all of our requests and needs with ease. They were also very helpful with recommendations based on extensive experience, and even allowed the bride's sister to play their keyboard for the ceremony, which was an over-and-above request they did not have to agree to. Overall can't recommend this group enough!

Hiring CC was one of the best wedding decisions we made! From the beginning, Dan was super responsive and clear about the band’s style, availability and price. After booking, Dan was great about answering questions and keeping in touch about song requests, timeline and other important wedding items. If you’re looking for a band that you would want to dance and sing along with at a fun bar or party, on top of being extremely talented musicians, these are your people. They also understand weddings and are willing to take on fun challenges. They took the time to successfully pull off many requests such as: - My requests and timing for the ceremony music which included acoustic renditions of Harvest Moon, With a Little Help from my Friends and Here, There, and Everywhere. They also take care of the sound systems and mic set up for the ceremony. - An amazing live rendition of Touch Me by The Doors for our reception entrance - Another amazing live rendition of Come Sail Away by Styx for our first dance which transitioned into open dance floor for all guests - Helping me pull off a surprise outfit change/re entrance into the party which included allowing me to join the band to sing Just A Girl by No Doubt. My guests had nothing but great things to say about CC and applauded their crowd work and musical talent. I also highly recommend paying to add on the sax player. They were AMAZING and added the perfect touch. Overall, Champagne Casanova is completely worth it for your wedding. I would hire them again in a heartbeat!!

Atlantic Shake was absolutely unreal - the band itself was incredibly talented and the music was amazing, but even beyond that, the organization, meetings, coordination, and all Atlantic Shake members were so helpful, understanding, attentive, and supportive. The emceeing made the whole night go smoothly and kept everything exciting and fun. The ability to curate your wedding music to exactly what you want (e.g. full band for reception but acoustic guitar only for cocktail hour, etc) was so lovely. We cannot speak more highly of the whole crew. We looked forward to our meetings with the team in the months leading up to the wedding and had so much fun talking through ideas with them. They offered appropriate opinions and advice when requested to help guide our decisions and preferences using their experience. We wish we could give them 10 stars and would recommend Atlantic Shake to everyone!

You’ve seen wedding bands before. But you’ve never seen one like us. Our wedding nights are, in a word, unforgettable.

Book us for your event and you'll get our award-winning Boston Wedding Band & DJ combo, PLUS our professional sound and stage lighting system at one simple rate, with absolutely NO overtime charges. We travel all over New England and beyond, so when you’re ready for our industry-leading talent and a game-changing event package all at one affordable wedding band price, we’re ready to celebrate with you.

We are still on a high from the most fun night of our lives all thanks to BeachNights band, Chris and DJ Connor!!! If you want to have music at your wedding that everyone will be talking about for years to come, book BeachNights for your reception and the DJ combo for your other music needs (ceremony, cocktail hour, afterparty). Booking BeachNights for all our music needs was the best decision we made for our wedding day. BeachNights far exceeded our expectations. Chris is so professional, organized, and easy to work with. They have so much experience in all types of venues; you will be glad you have a band who knows exactly what they need to do to put on a seamless performance. They keep the music process worry-free so you can focus on other aspects of wedding planning. A piece of unsolicited advice if I may, book BeachNights for everything: ceremony, cocktail hour, reception, afterparty. It was so much easier being able to talk to ONE person and coordinate all music through ONE group rather than having 4 music vendors involved in the planning process. They take time to learn about you as a couple, your music wants and needs, likes and dislikes so that every single song is exactly what you want and how you pictured your music on your wedding day. THANK YOU Chris and team for making our wedding dreams come true!

They dressed appropriately for our wedding theme and many of the guests at the Hawthorne Hotel wanted to take pictures with Karlea in her Twenties attire.

Their communication was exceptional - Nick went above and beyond by essentially acting as our wedding planner and therapist during the planning process! He asked thoughtful questions and cared deeply about making sure the music and flow of the reception were tailored to us as a couple. His attention to detail really showed the night of the event. The band put on an incredible performance - the song choices and setlist they curated had our guests dancing all night long. We especially appreciated how they wove in special musical touches that reflected our taste and personality. If you're looking for a band that will take the time to understand you as a couple and translate that into an unforgettable night of music and memories, we can't recommend American Midnight highly enough.

Awarded Best of Zola
Business Time didn’t ask us to write a review, but we’re so excited to write one and want everyone considering booking them to know how amazing they are (understatement). They’re not a typical wedding band, and we knew their style and songs were the vibe we wanted. Easily one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. We had planned a 200 person wedding but had to pivot to 25 because of COVID. Mark and the guys were the kindest humans alive, accommodating us and being flexible with every phone call and change in plans. They never badgered us about making decisions, were super responsive, and went with the flow. We looked forward to every call with Mark. They made it so easy and it was one less thing for us to stress over during an already emotional year of planning. From the cocktail music to dinner music to the main performance, they were a huge reason the wedding was so fun and memorable. In fact, my husband and I (and our guests!) begged them to stay an hour past their scheduled stopping time - we were willing to pay whatever they wanted they were so good!! We just didn’t want the night to end. (For those wondering, they so kindly did and it was the best money we ever spent!) I literally lost half my voice that night and left the dance floor *maybe* once. Even days later all our guests are still raving about how amazing Business Time was. We legit would get married again just to have them perform again. SO FUN!!! Honestly more fun than a lot of concerts we’ve been to, and not just saying that because it was our wedding. Book them now before they get famous and on the cover of Rolling Stone! Thank you Business Time - your kindness and willingness to go the extra mile could make me cry (and actually has). You’ve now got the biggest fans from Chicago!! Anne & Johnny

Heyday by C&BPRODUCTIONS was a standout choice for our wedding entertainment. As versatile professionals and brilliant musicians, they brought incredible energy to the dance floor all night. The quality of their work and value was pure excellence - they kept our guests dancing with their fun Spanish-inspired sound. I wanted the most extravagant settings, and every part of the wedding was different, but Heyday delivered a seamless and cohesive experience. The great team of musicians and technicians, led by their fantastic vibe manager, created a truly memorable celebration for us and our guests.

The Glorious Unknown is a 5 piece, female fronted, guitar driven *PARTY* band. Our biggest goal? To help make your big day the event all your guests will brag about being at for decades to come! We are The Glorious Unknown, and we want to party with you!

I can't speak highly enough of The Glorious Unknown! Not only did they sound amazing but they made sure the party energy was there the whole wedding and everyone had such a good time. Many times throughout the night my guests asked me how I found such a good band! Also, Rick was so good at staying in contact with me leading up to the big day and making sure all details were perfect. They were very professional, safe, and flexible with us planning a wedding during a pandemic. They worked with us as we changed our date and venue and made sure their set-up allowed for safe distancing between them and guests. You have to use them for your wedding or event!
