Planning perspective
What to consider before reaching out
A strong first conversation is about fit, not just availability. Share your date, approximate guest count, location, and the feeling you want the day to have. Ask what is included, what typically changes the final quote, and what decisions need to be made earliest.
For a entertainment partner, confirm how communication works, who will be present on the day, and how the team handles changes. Pricing was not included in the supplied research, so request a current, itemized proposal directly from the business.

Boston Common played for our wedding in late May 2026, and they were all-around exceptional!! From the start, Emily was communicative, easy to talk to, organized and charismatic. The musicians (we did cocktail hour + 9-piece for our reception) are all talented and have broad palettes and abilities. BC's portal for planning and song selection made the process easy and kept everyone on the same page. Emily was a fantastic MC for the night and went above and beyond to make sure we were on schedule and feeling good. So many of our guests commented on how great and fun our band was and were asking for BC's contact. We had some scheduling changes given rain and yet they rolled with changes seamles...

Boston Common Band was amazing at my son and his husband’s wedding !!!! The dance floor was full all night! Amazing energy and talent ! We also had a guitarist and vocalist from the band for the ceremony and cocktail hour which was also amazing. You will not be disappointed with this band at your event !!!!!! We received MANY compliments from our guests on the band! Also impressive was the band lead finding me at the end of the reception thanking me as I reached out to her for event. Emily was super professional and organized!!!!! Thank you to them for a memorable night ! 😊

Boston Common Band was by far the best decision we made for our wedding day! They came highly recommended by several friends, and now we completely understand why. From the very beginning, they were the easiest vendor to work with. Their online planning platform was user-friendly and stress-free, and Emily was always quick to respond and incredibly helpful throughout the entire process. The band’s energy was unmatched—our dance floor was packed all night long! They were so good that my husband and I even kept dancing outside during our sunset photos. Guests are still talking about how amazing the band was, and many asked for their information to follow them and attend future events. If you...

We are incredibly grateful to the Boston Common Band for making our dream wedding day a reality. From start to finish, Emily was an absolute delight to work with, meticulously handling every detail of the planning process. She provided invaluable suggestions when needed and ensured everything was perfect before the big day. On our wedding day, the Boston Common Band truly made our celebration unforgettable.

Emily's energetic announcement of our first dance made us feel like celebrities, prompting everyone to stand up in excitement. The dance floor remained packed all night long, thanks t...

If you’re getting married on the Cape…the only right answer is Boston Common Band. They came highly recommended by everyone we talked to and for obvious reason. They’re extremely organized which is always appreciated, and they don’t just sing your typical wedding songs. They do it ALL. Our dance floor was packed the entire night…no one could leave because they would play one hit after another. There were times when people would just stop on the dance floor to watch them perform…that’s how mesmerizing they are. (I think I have a picture of myself in awe of their talent that I’ll post with my review). You HAVE to book them it’s really that simple. Thank you BOCO for the BEST night ever!!!
