Elise was our contact throughout the process and she was so helpful from day 1. She helped us to really hone in on how we wanted our wedding to feel musically and vibes wise from ceremony, to cocktail hour, through end of the reception, took so much time to explain the whole process to us, handled all of the coordination with our venue and planner, and ultimately made sure music day of the wedding ran completely seamlessly. The Limit themselves are the most amazing band. They had so much energy the whole night and were all so incredibly talented. They engaged with the crowd throughout the night and all of the guests are still talking about how much fun they had because of the band. Would HIGHLY recommend to any couples looking for a band.

They provide what most bands don't - song mixing. They mix songs like a nighttime radio DJ would, so they have custom mixes that blend Beyonce into Bruno Mars into Jackson 5, seamlessly. Most bands play a song, it ends, people clap. Maybe it transitions into the next song - but they truly go in and out of songs and blend them and ohhh it's a party! They played a lot of pop / club songs perfectly with traditional "band" songs. Not to mention, the members were so positive, high energy, joyful, and rocked their instruments till the last dance. For speeches and dancing, there were no mic malfunctions, static, amplifier pops, etc. Want the best 9 piece band you could ever find? Hire them now!!!

SO. MUCH. FUN. We…read morehad the pleasure of working with Young Love and the Thrills in May 2014 for our wedding at Brooksby Farm in Peabody, MA. Honestly, there is nothing more you could possibly ask for in a wedding band. My fiancé and I love to check out local cover bands, so choosing one for the wedding was going to be a feat. But once we saw YLatT... They truly blew the competition out of the water. They are operating on a whole separate plane from any other group we've seen in the area. YLatT is comprised of incredibly talented musicians. This is no fly-by-night cover band. They have been playing together for years (the keyboardist and drummer were in a band prior to this, dating back I think 15 years?) and it shows in their chemistry and synchrony. Each member of the band is unbelievable. They also have a dedicated sound tech who stayed all night, so they sounded great in the reception space. They had an amazing range, from classic wedding tunes (At Last) to 80s favorites (Don't Stop Believin') and modern hits (Blurred Lines). Any genre, they were all over it. They sent us the full song list a few months before the wedding and let us have a lot of freedom is choosing the songs we knew our friends and family would love. And like I said, you can't go wrong. They are experts at all of them. Importantly: FUN! In addition to being excellent musicians, these guys knew how to work a room. They were just having a blast the whole time, and their enthusiasm was contagious. We also had the guitarist, Sean, play for our ceremony as we walked down the aisle. It was way easier than trying to coordinate yet another musician(s), and he did a great job. The band was also able to lend us a mic and an amp for our outdoor ceremony. All of our guests raved about the band, and it's still the most mentioned part of our day. Really, we couldn't have asked for a better group. We totally recommend them to anyone looking for a super fun, talented band!

They came as a recommendation from a good friend and did not disappoint. They provided the audio system for our ceremony, too! We had a flute and keyboard for our ceremony and were able to pick great songs from their selections as we and our bridal parties walked down the aisle. For the cocktail hour we had a jazz combo that was just delightful. Bryan was a joy to work with and I would highly recommend choosing them for your wedding needs! Planning was a breeze and they had every detail lined up when the day of the wedding came! Super recommend!

Our guests were really excited and surprised by all the contemporary selections, which we really loved as well. What a great touch to the perfect day - we feel really fortunate that we chose Occasional Brass and Strings. From the very first email, they were extremely helpful, flexible, and incredible to work with. On the day of the wedding, we were busy with photographs when the trio arrived. By the time we got to the cocktail reception, they were already in the perfect spot and playing for our guests. We really appreciated not only their talent, but the professionalism to take charge without us having to be there. That was such a luxury at the time. We hope they enjoyed the event and that sensed our satisfaction, even though we didn't have the chance to really meet with them before or after the ceremony. We highly recommend Occasional Brass & Strings. Several guests commented it was an element of the wedding that they most appreciated!

Every girls has the parts of her wedding that are the most important and personal to her- for me…read morethat piece of the wedding was walking down the aisle to Canon in D. My advise to you if you are a bride who also dreams of walking down the aisle to this song ---then DO NOT hire this quartet. They butchered the song. I was horrified listening from the back of the church as my bridesmaids walked down the aisle - almost to the point of tears. I recently got our wedding video and was once again horrified when I had to relive it. The violinist missed all of the important parts, skipped chunks - seriously my high school quartet played this piece better. I wish there had been a stipulation in the contract that I could get my money back if they screwed up. It makes me so sad that I made the mistake of trusting these professional "musicians" with the most memorable moment in my life thus far - and they messed it up. RUN AWAY FROM THIS GROUP!!

Extremely unprofessional sales tactics and poor communication…read more Working with this management team, Mike Amado especially, was a frustrating experience from start to finish. We experienced high-pressure sales tactics early on--including an absolute refusal to shift a consultation meeting by even 24 hours so both my fiancé and I could attend. We were told that if we didn't lock in immediately, someone else would take the date at a higher rate. We were repeatedly pressured with claims that we'd "never find a band for this price" and told we had to sign within a day or two. The most concerning part was what came next: after all that intense pressure to commit immediately, communication completely stopped. They went radio silent for three full months without a single follow-up. Given the total lack of professional communication and the aggressive tactics, we assumed the band was unavailable and booked our entertainment elsewhere. Event planning is stressful enough without having to deal with high-pressure sales followed by months of ghosting. I would strongly advise prospective clients to look elsewhere.

They played 2 hour-long sets and each had everyone dancing from start to finish. Every musician was very talented. But they really went above and beyond with how flexible they were! At a few different points in the night, we asked if someone could sing a song. They said yes every time. We have some very musical people in the family, and it turned into an incredibly memorable mix of dancing and an occasional karaoke performance. Our guests are still raving about the band weeks after the wedding! To sum it all up, we cannot recommend them highly enough. They have a great set list (and you can add a couple songs), their talent is top-notch, they're very flexible, and they're the best value... they check every box! We fully recommend them.

How do you sum up The Broken Heels? The greatest wedding band with extreme levels of talent,…read moreprofessionalism, showmanship, and passion. Having looked into almost 2 dozen bands, The Broken Heels quickly became our favorite. They are a 5 piece band that will rock harder than any 10 piece band, at a cost that will actually make sense for your budget. If you want a band that will deliver a high-energy dance party, this is the band you've been looking for. The Broken Heels rock all the hits from the 60's through present day. Our favorite part of their repertoire: the extensive list of hits from the 80's, 90's, and 00's. As a couple born in the early 90's, this band stole our hearts by playing all our favorites from our childhood. We also requested "The Bones" by Maren Morris for our first dance, and they learned it with no issues and absolutely NAILED IT! Every member of the band is a professional musician, and they all bring an immense amount of talent to the stage. They play the iconic hits with perfection, and they also know how to rock. The band leader, Brittney is absolutely amazing. We simply cannot say enough about her - professional, prompt, talented, and enthusiastic. She is kind, fun, and so easy to work with. We changed our wedding date twice, and The Broken Heels were able to make the switch without a problem. With increased safety measures for COVID-19, they remained professional and understanding of all the changes. Our "micro-wedding" was an absolute party because of them - our guests still haven't stopped raving about them! You need this band for your wedding!
