I don't even know where to start. I cannot say enough AMAZING things about this band. They are by far thee best wedding band I have ever seen. They are not only incredible musicians, but put on quite a show when on the stage! Each member has such a unique personality they bring to the overall performance, and several times throughout the night the band got down on the dance floor to entertain and teach different dances. Not to mention the DJ that comes with it! It truly is the best of both worlds... My husband wanted a DJ and I wanted a band so this was the PERFECT compromise. I HIGHLY recommend them, they sound EXACTLY like the artists who actually sing the songs and the musicians are incredibly talented. Hire them, it's the best decision you can make to ensure that your wedding is a blast!

"Best of Boston" is an understatement! The BCB was one of the best decisions my husband and I made during our planning process. From the beginning, they were very professional and absolutely wonderful to work with. The wedding itself was a blast and my guest are still raving about them! All I keep hearing is "your wedding was amazing", and I can honestly say that a lot of it had to do with the BCB. They are more than musicians - they are entertainers! Our wedding was like a live concert and everyone had front row! I look forward to recommending them for year's to come, and I feel lucky to have had them part of our big day!

Each member of the band, the manager, and the DJ they brought with them were FANTASTIC - they read the crowd, played a great mix of new hits and classic favorites and kept the guests on their feet. Even after they performed their requested encore song, everyone kept chanting 'one more song' - we couldnt get enough of them! The entertainment can really make or break and event, and if youre looking for a talented, professional, kick-ass band, Boston Common is for you!!

We just had our outdoor wedding a couple of weeks ago and had Boston Common Band at our event. They were AMAZING! I honestly cannot say enough about them. From the minute I contracted with them to play at my wedding, they were nothing but professional and easy to work with. They called me/emailed me plenty of times before the wedding just to "check in" with me. They were quick to respond to any questions that I had prior to the event. Right before the big day they spent a long time giving me suggestions on song choices..which were all perfect by the way! The band even learned to play the songs for my first dance and the dance with my father!
And during the wedding, they did not disappoint! Sometimes we couldn't tell if it was the Band signing or the actual song. Other songs they put their own great spin on it. People from the wedding are still coming up to me and asking "who was that great band" and that "the band made the wedding!". I couldn't agree with them more. The dancefloor was packed from dinner until the last dance.
So to any bride to be out there that is wishing for the perfect band to add fun, excitement and great music to their night, book The Boston Common Band. It will be the best decision you ever made.
Wedding date- August 13, 2011

BOSTON COMMON BAND IS THE BEST BAND EVER! The band had everyone up and dancing...even people who I thought for sure would be stuck to their seats all night. We continually heard comments from guests throughout the night, "this is the best wedding band I have ever heard", "i have never had so much fun dancing", " all the musicians are really talented." We decided to add in two horns (trumpet and sax), and wow...absolutely amazing! Even our photographer commented that they were one of the best bands he has ever heard (and I can only imagine how many wedding bands he hears). Bottom line - you can't go wrong with Boston Common Band, they will not disappoint!

The Boston Common Band was an INCREDIBLE wedding band! Prior to the big day, the were extremely professional and attentive to work with, and they had everyone dancing from start to finish during the reception. I had so many people come up to me after the wedding to let me know this was the BEST wedding band they had ever heard. Boston Common Band exceed our expectations, and every bride/groom should feel confident this band can carry the party from start until finish.

We can’t say enough about this band!! They were reasonably priced, included a DJ (DJ Josh Boogz was awesome!), and also provided cocktail hour music. We had some fun/creative requests, and they were so accommodating. The dance floor was packed all night, and our guests are still raving about them! You cannot go wrong with Boston Common at your wedding!

Boston Common Band rocked! Not only were they easy to get in contact with, they were so flexible with song choices, and just a lot of fun.

We heard of the band from a friend who had been a guest of a wedding they performed at and said they were awesome. From our first consultation with the band, we knew we had made the right choice. They are absolute professionals (musicians and DJ) and helped us manage every aspect of our special day..... making it absolutely stress-free. DJ Shyne was a great MC and such a pleasure to deal with as was Jonathan and the rest of the band..... just awesome people!!!
The music was great and they kept folks up and dancing for the entire evening. We got so many comments afterward about how great the band was. They certainly helped make our wedding memorable.
Finally, we really feel this was such a good value. We got so much for our money (piano music during cocktail hour, a DJ during dinner who also served as MC and an unbelievable band with spectacular lighting and equipment!). We would recommend Boston Common Band to anyone.

5 stars is not even enough to rate how great Boston Common is. They were so amazing at our wedding. They learned three songs for us one of which was a super old song and they played it like it wasn't even a challenge. It sounded better than the original. Everyone was up and dancing the whole time, including the older folk!! I couldn't wish up a better band than Boston Common. I HIGHLY recommend that you hire this group for your wedding you will NOT regret it.

The Boston Common Band was absolutely fantastic! We were nervous because we were planning the wedding remotely and have never seen the band live before. Based on some YouTube videos, we felt the band fit the bill and signed them. Boy were we pleasantly surprised on our wedding night! The band was incredible and all of our guests talked endlessly about how great the band was. Everyone in the band was very professional and the entire night went smoothly. I can't remember a moment when people weren't out there dancing.

One special thing the band did was learn the First Dance song even though we had no idea they were playing it live. We only told them what the song would be about a week before the wedding! Thank you guys so much for doing that and for making our wedding a very memorable one!

We are delighted to have made the decision to use the fantastic Boston Common band and superb DJ Josh Boogz for our wedding and encourage anyone to do the same for any event that you might be planning. Their performance can be described in many superlatives, but only one is really necessary...PERFECT!

When you still have people mentioning that the band and wedding were the best that they've ever attended over three weeks after the event and asking for the band's contact details for their engaged friends to use, then you can see the kind of incredible impression and wonderful memories that they left with our guests.

We thought that trying to decide upon which band to use for our wedding would be a difficult and long process, but after having attended one of their open shows listed on their website http://www.bostoncommonband.com/, it was immediately clear to us that we knew we wanted them to be our band for the wedding. They had perfect sound & volume control of the venue they were operating in and their vocal range on both current and classic songs was perfectly executed. They performed excellent covers that left no one wanting for the original, and no one sitting in their seats, when we saw this in the bar where we viewed them, we knew that if they could command this stage like they are, they would surely be perfect for our wedding, and they were.

Manager Jonathan Wiegratz was extremely helpful and professional throughout the entire process and answered all our questions and requests very quickly and Dj Josh Boogz ran our event smoothly with tremendous organization, enthusiasm and great skill. It really helped to have both a DJ and band working in tandem throughout the night, as the night continued to flow without any interruptions and energy, and they coordinated seamlessly with our caterer/event manager to make the event roll on without any pauses. The band was able to fulfill our request to learn a song for our first dance and the two lead singers were showstoppers throughout the night. Their lighting was a lifesaver as we hadn’t really planned for much of it ourselves and people commented on how cool the effects look on our outdoor tent.

The Boston Common band were great fun, very friendly and provided us with an atmosphere that we could only have dreamed of at the start of the planning stages. They really are an exceptionally talented group of musicians and when you are able to maintain people dancing from ages 5 to 80 (often at the same time) in over a 4 hour period, and have the guests still dancing and demanding more, then you know that you are in the presence of greatness. Even more than being able to get all age ranges of people onto the dance floor, a true testament to their talent was that they were able to get our group of 30 folks from the UK (who don’t listen to the same popular artists on their radios) dancing alongside the US residents, to our classic songs such as Journey’s ‘Don’t Stop Believing’ and to Black Eyed Peas ‘I Gotta Feeling’. And I don’t mean they were just trying to get the beat and shake their waist around to the rhythm, I mean they were jumping around & fist pumping along with the locals, trying to bring their own kind of sexy back from England. This band was so good, the whole night long, that our very expensive and delicious selection of dessert items went relatively untouched as everyone was on the dance floor instead of idly mingling around the food. THAT good.

The band had been highly recommended to us when we were looking around Boston for a group to use for our wedding and we feel that we owe it to them to provide them with as glowing a testimonial and as positive a recommendation as we can provide, as they really surpassed our expectations and made our wedding an incredible and unforgettable experience for us and our guests!

The Boston Common Band made our wedding complete. They are all such talented musicians not to mention amazing people. They made our planning for our wedding day completely stress free. We didn’t want your typical wedding where there is a first dance, people are announced, a set play list, speeches etc. We wanted this to be a true party with no interruptions. We told this to the band and also to the DJ and they totally ran with it. All they needed to know were a few musicians who we loved and they took it from there. Every song they played was better than the one before. Both the DJ and the Band made our wedding so unforgettable not only for us but also for our guest. So many people asked me where I found them and that they had never been to a wedding where they actual loved the band and DJ. The care takers of the sea side retreat that was our wedding venue told us the next day that so many of his neighbors had stopped by to ask about the band and to say how amazing they were and how they danced on their own porches that night because the breeze carried the music to their homes. It’s so rare to find a band that appeal to the bride and groom and also to the older guest and the younger guest. We were a hard crowd to please as we had a mix of Bostonians, New Yorkers and Europeans and yet they hit the nail on the head with a perfect night!!!! I would recommend this band a million times over and if I had to do my wedding over again I would pick them and all their choices of music every time!!! Just outstanding!!

These guys are really wonderful-SO organized, responsive, easy to deal with and sincerely nice people. The combo of the band + DJ REALLY makes the night so much fun--they are really talented and you never have any down time at all with DJ Shyne there to mix beats between sets! The entire wedding was up and dancing and having a BLAST the whole time--they were sincerely awesome.

The Boston Common Band and DJ were fantastic at our wedding. We had piano playing during the cocktail hour which also offered great entertainment. We couldn't have asked for a better band to play our wedding. Everyone raved after the wedding about how fun, professional, and exciting Boston Common Band was. The band was exactly how we imagined. Highly recommended!!

We heard of this band through word of mouth. We live out of state and viewed many of their video's online. After speaking with the band, I knew we had made the right choice. We booked this band even before we booked our wedding hall. During and after the wedding we continue to get complements on how good the band was. DJ Shyne as DJ and MC kept the party moving all night and we cannot say enough good things about them both. If you're in the New England area and looking for a band. Look no further, book them before they're booked up. Thanks again Guys!! - Chrissy and John

Absolutely fantastic! We were absolutely thrilled. Very easy to work with.

great band. kept the placing dancing all night long. when the band took breaks the DJ took over so there was never down time. everyone had a great time.

EXCEPTIONAL! My husband and I spend a lot of time and energy to find the "perfect band" for our wedding. We contacted several agencies, and invested a lot of effort including many painful hours of watching wedding bands on youtube! Don't waste your time...these guys are hands down the way to go! I am a wedding photographer and attend an increadible amount of weddings each year. I have seen and heard wedding bands all the way from the Carolinas to New England and feel that without a doubt these guys are of the highest quality. From my first conversation with Jonathan on the phone I knew there was something different about this band. He made a few simple suggestions that obviously came from experience and had a unique insight into how a wedding should smoothly flow. This is what caught my immeadiate attention, then I discovered how talented the band is. Jonathan very much focused on the small details which in the end are crucial to a successful party. There wasn't a moment at our reception that people weren't dancing and fully entertained thanks to the well thought out timeline. Jonathan informed me that his dad was also in a wedding band and his exposure to the industry and profession came at an early age, and it was quite apparent. Boston Common Band has plenty of experience and a fresh and energetic vibe! These guys are VERY talented and full of knowledge about sound quality and also their wide variety of genres. Jonathan was very accomodating and at our initial meeting at our venue he was checking the acoustics in the room(our reception was in a large atrium that had a ton of glass and marble-not an easy venue to play) and making sure that everything would be of highest quality. I was given a few simple suggestions as to what I could do in a cost-effective way to make the room more music friendly! I was then introduced to DJ Shyne who was an absolute delight to work with! I consider myself to have very vast and specific taste in music. If I had a request (from Biggie to Talking Heads) it was played, even mixed! DJ Shyne spend a lot of time customizing our playlist and giving me excellent suggestions that were very appropriate to our tastes. I was that bride that didn't hesitate to ask a ton of questions and get very specific with my needs, and they were all satisfied and exceeded by Boston COmmon Band and DJ SHyne. I was even changing things up until cocktail hour! They nailed it all and didn't miss a beat... Our first dance was Jason Mraz's song "lucky" and it was absolutly on point. These guys are worth far more than they charge. I considered bands that were much more expensive and found that they don't even come close to the quality experience you get with these guys! I know that my guests were blown away because my phone hasn't stopped ringing with rave reviews about our party! Do yourself a favor and hire this band. I couldn't have asked for a better person to work with than DJ SHyne- this guy has got it going on....polite, knowledgable, and very talented. If i was doing it all over again, I would undoubtedly be having Boston Common Band at my event! My wedding ROCKED!

Awesome band and awesome music

This band was incredible!!! Everyone loved them. Just don't go through Boston Event Works. That agent was terrible.

My wife and I were married last September in CT and could not have been happier with The Boston Common Band. What's amazing about them is that they really function as a great band, not just a great wedding band. We had ask them to learn three songs which they did perfectly and had also asked explicitly that our guests got up and stayed up dancing through the whole party and Boston Common kept the party going strong all night. I can't count how many guests commented on the music. Our friends were covered in sweat by the end of the night from the non stop dancing. They play great contemporary songs and are a pleasure to work with. We would recommend them to anyone getting married in the Boston region! Boston Common made our wedding the great and memorable party we hoped it would be and then some. It was incredible. -Adam, Hartford wedding

When my husband and I were planning our wedding the music for the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception took top priority. Quality music was especially important for us since some my husband's family and some of our friends are musicians - tough critics. We wanted the music to be lively and fun - songs that young and old know, but that aren't dated or cheesy; songs that would keep everyone on the dance floor all night; songs that would make the wedding a real party.
Because neither of us are from New England, all of our planning was remote. We never heard the Boston Common Band live before our actual wedding, but we did listen to them on YouTube. The clips don't do them justice. Simply put, the band and DJ were AMAZING! The dance floor was packed the entire night! They are all truly gifted musicians. One month later, our family and friends are still raving about it. According to everyone we talk to, the band was "out of this world,"and "an incredibly tight band" We agree! The band and DJ stuck to exactly what we wanted and created the most amazing playlists ever. They were so receptive to our thoughts and concerns leading up to the wedding. The lead singers learned Adele's version of "Make You Feel My Love" for our first dance and it came out so beautiful that a couple guests actually cried. They have an unbelievable level of talent for a relatively young group of individuals.
I would highly recommend to anyone and everyone that they book the Boston Common Band for a wedding. They really made our party wonderful and are a great value.

I could not recommend Boston Common Band more highly. We knew we wanted a band that was hip and fresh and energetic, and they were all those things and more. People were dancing all night long, which is just what we wanted, and tons of compliments were paid to the band. Moreover, the band listened to all our requests and adjusted to some of our particulars without a problem. They even did a fantastic Hava Nagila. :) You cannot go wrong with Boston Common Band!

Boston Common was amazing! They took great care in understanding what we wanted for our wedding. Not only was the music fantastic, they made sure that the events of the wedding went smoothly, nothing was rushed and everyone had a fabulous time. The band sounded wonderful and our DJ was entertaining AND efficient. Boston Common is the perfect wedding entertainment!

I cannot stress this enough - Boston Common Band was absolutely out-of-this-world FANTASTIC. They were above and beyond our expectations on a wedding band. I would hire them again in a heartbeat for any event in the future. Some comments to highlight: They were young, professional, REALLY talented musicians/singers who really got the guests of ALL ages involved and dancing. Everyone commented how they were the BEST wedding band they have EVER heard. I loved how the singers would give shout outs to our flower girl and ring bearer and even got my dad on stage singing and dancing! They accommodated the groom to play his guitar with them for one song. All the music that was played was present-day dancing music for all ages. The singers interacted with us and made our wedding even more memorable. They are SOOOO worth every penny spent. I was so happy with their performance - they are one of the BEST vendors we went with.

Folks - you will NOT be disappointed. BOOK THEM NOW. They are amazing!!!

Boston Common totally MADE the wedding for me! They were energetic, fun and extremely professional! I would hire then again in an instant! I HIGHLY recommend them to anyone planning a wedding or special function. All of our guests raved about them. They were outstanding!!!!!

The Boston Common band performed at my outdoor wedding, under a tent at my parents home, this past June. Aside from being gifted musicians, they were professional, responsive, and a complete pleasure to work with from researching, to booking, to the performance. At the reception, they interacted with the guests from beginning to end, had everyone dancing, from 3 years old to 70+; I can't count the number of compliments and raves that they received that night and after from family and friends. Additionally, they helped organize the reception festivities to ensure we stayed on track.

We researched quite a few bands, and hands down the Boston Common Band are a top-notch, talented group of passionate musicians that helped my wedding turn from a good time to an unforgettable celebration and a total party.

Boston Common Band was great - guests are still talking about them! They were exactly what we were looking for: they are young and fun, yet talented beyond their years. They sent us a lengthy questionnaire before the wedding to ensure they covered all of the things that we wanted. They helped us make our wedding a fun party!

The professionalism, energy and fun that this band (and DJ) brought to our wedding, was like nothing I had ever seen. Our guests were truly entertained and we heard nothing but praise.

The band is high energy and quality and really kept the party going from the minute they began, to the second they ended!

Boston Common made our wedding unforgettable not only for us, but for all our guests! Everyone kept asking us all night where we found them, and the truth was they were the first band we found and as soon as we listened to them we knew they were the ones! We loved the energy from the entire band and how they interacted with our guests. They played all our favorite songs at just the right times to get everyone involved. Thank you Boston Common!
Heather and Louis Calcagni

This band was truly wonderful. The vocals and instruments were perfect. They worked nicely with one another and I couldn't believe how well they honored our requests. The party ran very smoothly, their MC/DJ was great. Everything seemed so fun, relaxing and easy with this band. I made some random requests through out the night, and they just went with it. The DJ couldn't have been better, I spent a lot of my wedding feeling thrilled with how awesome Boston Common is. The guests are still giving my husband and I compliments and asking how we found them. They are awesome!

Don't waste your money on an any old wedding band. Boston Common provided all the good things that you would expect from a regular wedding band, traditional music etc., but also showed up with a set list that kept the entire party dancing for the duration of the reception. No need for the us to make our rounds to visit with each table as everyone could be found on the dancefloor.
New music, even tunes that came out in the last month, were delivered with a very high level of quality. Simply put, after very careful review of our options, Boston Common was the clear choice with probably the best musical talent of any band in New England.

Very good musicians
Very good vocals
Very enthusiastic
High energy level
Very friendly

All I can say is The Boston Common Band was amazing. My wife and I got so much positive feedback from there performance. Everyone said by far the best band they have ever seen at a wedding and I agree! We had to hire Boston Common unseen do to my demanding graduate school schedule. Based on the information on there website (including videos) and the fact they are Berkley grads we decided on them. Their attention to detail during the preparation of our event insured us we made the right choice and we never had to worry. Then on the day of the wedding their performance just proved we made the right choice. I would highly recommend them to anyone.

Boston Common Band was the perfect band for our wedding reception! We hired their pianist to play for our cocktail hour, and he did a wonderful job. From there, the DJ took over during the dinner, and he did a great job setting the mood for us. He even came up with a unique idea to do instead of having everybody clink glasses to get us to kiss. You'll have to ask them about that, as I won't give away their secret. After dinner, the band got to rocking! They were amazing, and had every one of our guests on the dance floor for the entire night! We didn't want the evening to end we were having so much fun, and we weren't the only ones. Ever since our wedding everybody has been telling us how much fun they had, and that was in no small part thanks to Boston Common Band and their excellent performance.

What a gem this band is. Everyone raved about them for weeks after our wedding. They are also an exceptional value. We received quotes from other bands for over $5000, they came in at $3750 and blew everyone away. Admittedly, we were a little hesitant at first because they're so young. (Recent Berklee grads I remember them saying) But Jonathan (the manager) is completely professional and handled every request of ours. They only are a reception band, but do provide a DJ to play music during cocktail hour, dinner and during the band breaks.

Let me add my wonderful review! I planned my wedding from 3000 miles away and never met the band members or DJ in person until the day of the wedding. They were absolutely amazing. They set up conference calls to work around my schedule with the time difference on the West Coast, and they were very thorough to get all the information they needed. I must say that even though I gave them a long list of requests, I didn't hear any of those for the first hour of the dance party, but I had several people come up to me to compliment the band and the young lady singing especially. I was also a little annoyed that they waited an extra 15-20 minutes than scheduled to announce the cake cutting and play our special "cake cutting song", when we had gone over the timeline very specifically several times, (and my videographer had to then stay late to capture that moment) but overall, I was very happy. They seem to really know what they are doing with getting people on the dance floor!

Boston Common Band was outstanding! They totally made our reception a success. We have had multiple guests call us and mention how much they enjoyed the music and how much they enjoyed dancing. Everything worked out perfectly. If you're deciding on music for any type of reception, Boston Common Band should be your choice.

These guys are great. They played our wedding 2 weeks ago in Boston, and people keep telling us how great our band was. I was really happy with the mix of songs they played, how amazing they sounded, the fact that they were flexible with some of our requests, and mostly that the entire wedding was dancing the whole time. We had a really great time with them and I would recommend them to anyone.

Also, they did an awesome job with our first dance (stay with you-john legend), especially since it was a song they had to learn. It was spot on!

Our guests had a fabulous time and had wonderful things to say about them.Everyone remembers them and we will reccomend them to anyone who ask about a band!

They were awesome. Very talented musicians, the music was spot on. They worked the crowd very well and the male vocalist came onto the dance floor to show us a few Michael Jackson moves, so much fun.
They were professional and great at what they do. My only complaint was that a few songs we had asked them to play ahead of time did not get played.

Just worked with this band again last night. Awesome! Sound system was incredible, Talented, professional band members. Had the room rocking until midnight on a Sunday! It just doesn't get any better than The Boston Common Band.

Keeps the dance floor packed all night, so it makes my job as a wedding photographer easy! Boston Common Band is really the ideal mix between professional yet personable.

This past Saturday I worked with Boston Common Band (Jonathan) and their master of ceremonies DJ (Josh). I cannot even express to any brides, mine or anyone reading this post what an awesome experience this was. Josh had all the requests from the bride and groom under control and the band was rocking! The oversized dance floor was absolutely packed the whole entire night! I am not kidding. From the second the parent dances were over until the very end of the night. The guests and the band were having such a great time that when the event was supposed to be over, the band had stopped and everyone started chanting "one more song".... and that they did! I couldn't believe it! There were two lead singers, a girl and a guy. Both had amazing energy and voices! I could go on and on. I will tell you that as a wedding planner, this is my new favorite band and will be recommending them to everyone! Enjoy!

Over Memorial Day weekend, I coordinated a wedding at the Wellesley College Club, and had the honor of working with the Boston Common Band. They were prompt to respond over email when confirming details with them the week before, arrived on time to setup, and were FABULOUS on the day of the event. This group is young, energetic, talented, and are truly performers. The wedding guests had a blast, and forced the band to do a double encore at the end of the night!

I would highly recommend them, and hope to work with them again many times in the future!

Boston Common is one of the hottest wedding bands out there right now. Why settle for a wedding band that's been playing all the same material for 20 years? Theses guys know what it takes to get *TODAY's* party started!

As a professional in this industry, one has the opportunity to interact with numerous individuals from interior decorator to band leader. Over time, some of those individuals leave long lasting impressions, while others impressions just don't last long. I fully endorse those individuals from the Boston Common Band. Professional, skilled, and most of all easy to work with...these talented musicians deliver a night that will truly be, as Nat King Cole might sing...Unforgettable! The atmosphere a band brings to a function is unlike any other, but it is so vital to choose the RIGHT band to deliver those good times. Boston Common has an extensive song list for you to choose from, they've got a crisp demo for you to preview, and they play showcases around New England in order for you to see them LIVE! Once the first note drops, you will undoubtedly get your groove on ALL NIGHT LONG! From Brides to Grandmothers, Boston Common keeps a crowd engaged from start to finish. With strong leadership and a keen ability to read the crowd, the Boston Common Band is sure to be perfect for you!
