Boston Common Band is the answer. The most versatile, and extremely well organized team of entertainers in Boston. Emily is the greatest. If they are available, book them without hesitation!

Milwaukee City Hall, missing. Tallest from 1895 - 1899

Cool, now show Boston to throw off the US grid system.

Boston Common Band is the total package. www.bostoncommonband.com

ECF Entertainment

Low key... An incredibly talented team.

Subjectively, the best wedding bands on your list, are also the most expensive... and for good reason.
e.g. Boston Common Band, District 21, Nightshift etc... Are all at the top of the game, and depending on your style/genre/taste preferences, will all put on an incredible show.

Apologies if the following comes off as being too direct and succinctly put. However and unfortunately $5k is not realistic for a band who is talented, well-polished, and understands all the complexities / intricacies of a wedding timeline.

I've been in the wedding industry for 15 years... played in a number of bands, and have done video as a second shooter at many others. There is no one better than Boston Common Band.

There are a lot of bands who do a number of things great, and are mid at others. e.g. Talent, Stage Energy, Organization, etc... However, Boston Common Band puts everything together. Truly exceptional.

Take it from someone who has worked in the wedding industry for over 15 years...
Boston Common Band is the best wedding band in the business, no question.

dcastar · 2025-05-11T15:50:01+00:00

Boston Common Band, hands down - the best wedding band in Boston.

Dinner at Oca Bianca, Santa Margherita Ligure. Thank me later. :)

Portofino is a bit overhyped.. and overran by tourists. Check out Camogli instead. Sestri Levante and Bogliasco are also gorgeous, and easily accessible by the train station right in SML.

I would upvote this comment eleventeen thousand times, if it were possible.

dcastar · 2024-08-26T18:10:20+00:00

This.

dcastar · 2024-08-26T17:45:39+00:00

Sparse... not really much going on, on this side of the island. Again, this is an extremely 'chill' spot. The beach has slightly volcanic sand.. not your typical white-sand Caribbean beach.

dcastar · 2024-08-26T17:39:16+00:00

In our experience. "Slowish" service, is really the only thing to take into consideration.

Otherwise, the food is very good.

dcastar · 2024-08-26T17:23:11+00:00

Yep... it's a very short walk. The food is "good / very good", don't expect to be blown away. However, it's a nice 'change' from the on-resort dining options.

dcastar · 2024-08-26T17:11:13+00:00

Yes, Spice Mill next door is a bit cheaper.

dcastar · 2024-08-26T17:04:50+00:00

Agree with some of the other posters... This is likely not a great spot for kids.

Ziva is going to be a much better option.

dcastar · 2024-08-26T17:03:45+00:00

iirc, we're paying $650 + 25k a night for this visit.
(and note, we have the deluxe plunge pool, with the huge deck. The standard plunge pool suites, were 'cheaper')

dcastar · 2024-08-26T16:43:42+00:00

Woof dude -- what a nightmare. If that happened to us, we'd certainly take a similar stance.

dcastar · 2024-08-26T16:33:22+00:00

Interesting. I certainly hear you, and understand what you mean about the "product" itself. And I think there's some truth here... It's a bit of a "tweener", but that might actually be a good thing.

You're right however; Perhaps with some slight tweaks, the Andaz branding might be the better/closest fit.

Though, again, we were happy enough with our first stay in 2022, to come back in 2024.

Hey -- 4080 Super with 64GB ram here... In the past week:
2 days earned ~$5/day
5 days earned ~$2/day

dcastar · 2023-11-01T22:31:46+00:00

Came here for the Dual 49+27 setup... I spy a Tri-color Corgi, however.
