As a wedding planner with over 15 years of experience I was blown away by Boston Common Band - and this was before they even played ONE note! They were well organized in all pre-event communication, answered emails, requests and confirmations at lighting speed. On the day of the team (including DJ Shyne and Emily) were BEYOND helpful, professional and team players. The music and emcee talents are simply the best.

The band had the dance floor PACKED from the jump and even though I was on my feet for a solid 15 hours that day -- I didn't want them to stop playing! Thank you for making this a DREAM day for the client and vendor team!

Boston Common Band was an absolutely incredible at my wedding. Months later and we are still getting compliments. They played a variety of music that everyone loved and did a phenomenal job engaging with the crowd. They helped us have the time of our lives and were so fun to work with along the way.

WOAH. We found Boston Common Band while attending a friend's wedding and knew on the spot that we they had to be our wedding band. We actually picked our wedding date based on BCB's availability! Having seen them perform in person previously we knew they were going to be great, but wow did they exceed our expectations. They had all of our guests dancing for hours. Literally. So many of our guests are still talking about our band and how they didn't leave the dance floor once all evening.

The energy that this group brings and maintains all night long is honestly impressive. They're dancing, interacting with guests and truly trying to throw you the party of your life. Not only did they bring the fun, but the process of working with them leading up to the main event was amazing. They answered all of our incessant questions very promptly, accommodated all of our custom requests, and scheduled video calls with us in the few weeks leading up to the wedding to ensure they had all the details laid out. If you're considering a band for your wedding, just stop looking now and book these guys.

The Boston Common Band and Josh (DJ J-Boogz) were outstanding, and even that might be an understatement. From the moment we booked, we had clear and timely communication with various band members and coordinators. Everyone was always on the same page and the planning interface was simple and easy to use. The video chat with the DJ about a month prior to the wedding was very helpful and made us feel 100% confident in their ability to coordinate an event and put on a show.

Now for the music.the Boston Common Band is not your typical wedding band, they are insanely talented musicians and performers who bring a concert to your wedding. The number one comment we have received since the wedding has been how incredible the band was, and we could not agree more. This band is worth every penny and more, hire them ASAP. Thank you BCB, we love you!

From the planning to the last song Boston Common was professional and certainly met all expectations. My Husband wanted a DJ and I was looking for a Band. Having the combo really made the night and was able to give us the variety we were hoping for. Prior to booking they ensured there was a time for us to see them play. They were the hit of our wedding and everyone has been talking about them!

We worked with Boston Common Band for an industry party we threw and they were AMAZING! The event was for Boston's Wedding Industry which meant they played for other wedding bands and wedding professionals and everyone loved them. There was synchronized dancing, killer instrumental solos, and the vocalists were out of this world! The crowd never wanted it to end! The energy, attention to detail and level of commitment was incredible.

In addition to an amazing performance they were awesome to work with leading up to the event. They were responsive over email and very communicative. (not always the case with wedding bands speaking as a wedding planner) I would recommend Boston Common Band to all our couples who are looking to throw a great dance party with amazing music!
