New England Wedding Band: Live Music, Aisle to Dance Floor

Yes. We play weddings in all six states: Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, Vermont and Maine. Newport is about 1.5 hours from Boston; Stowe and the White Mountains about 3. A Gilded Age mansion in Newport, a lodge in Stowe, a clifftop at The Cliff House: the drive changes, the dance floor doesn't. Wherever you marry, we're set up before your guests walk in.

Ceremony music for New England venues starts from $620, and reception music from $2,220. Travel to your venue is included. Book both together and a package discount applies. The price you see in the Package Builder is the price you pay.

As soon as your venue is confirmed. We're often booked up to 12 months ahead, and June to October fills fastest. Saturdays and fall foliage weekends are always snapped up first. Across six states, that's a lot of fall weekends in demand at once, from Stowe to the Maine coast. Build your package, and your Band Manager confirms your singer is available for your date.

It depends on your guest numbers. A Violin + Cello Duo suits up to about 50 guests, a String Trio about 80, and a String Quartet around 100. For vocals, we bring our own sound system. Our instruments can't play in rain, cold or storms, so give us a covered spot and a backup plan.

Yes. Tented receptions are very common in New England, and we bring our own sound system. We need power within 10 feet of where we set up, and a flat, covered spot to play. Under a tent at Shelburne Farms or on the lawn at Castle Hill Inn, the band stays dry and the floor stays full. Strings and harp need the same shelter from rain and cold.

Yes. One booking can cover your ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner and dance floor. Many of us play more than one role, and booking your ceremony and reception together gets a package discount automatically. Your ceremony violinist might join the band later, or your acoustic singer might become your DJ, so the feeling of the aisle carries right through to the last song. One Band Manager looks after all of it.

Rarely. Most venues don't need anything beyond your Package Builder price. For the farthest corners of New England, say a late finish in Stowe or on the Maine coast, we may need somewhere to stay. If your wedding does, your Band Manager tells you before you book, and nothing gets added after your deposit.

Yes. Choose songs for your key moments and we'll play them live. Our strings play from almost 1,000 arrangements written exclusively by us, and new ones can be added with enough notice. A new String Quartet arrangement may involve a small music preparation fee.
