We can’t thank you enough for all your help in the process of booking, choosing our band and planning the event. We have been getting endless compliments. The music was perfect and they were so talented and entertaining. We’ve seen a lot of wedding bands this year and they were the first that really engaged with the audience and everyone loved it. They were also so great with the MCing during dinner and the first dance. 6 out of 5 stars! We literally didn’t stop dancing the entire night! Our wedding was truly a dream come true and so much fun. Max and Kristin G.

I had a few people tell me they didn't know when the band had taken a break, because they sounded so much like the original songs. Everyone loved them! Courtney Wallack

November 19th, 2022 Alden Castle Brookline, MA The band was our number one priority for the night and boy did you deliver!!!!

When my other daughter gets married you will be the first call we make. Thank you for making Lisa's dream wedding come true! Marci B.

July 30th, 2022 Dexter’s Inn Sunapee, NH Wilson Stevens staff were organized and great communicators throughout the process ensuring that the band was prepared for their performance to cater to our personal music tastes, wedding schedule and our wedding’s unique needs. They have clearly done a lot of weddings as their song list, wedding reception schedule recommendations and communication planning were super helpful as we built out our schedule for our wedding day.

Thank you so, so much again for everything that you and the whole Wilson Stevens team did to make our wedding so much fun!

January 15th, 2022 The Intercontinental Hotel Boston, MA I simply cannot say enough. When we booked you 3 years ago, we did so because we heard you perform a year earlier and my niece's wedding. Who knew what was coming down the pike...Throughout all the postponements and changes, you made everything easy. I have heard so many stories of bands gouging people for re-bookings and difficulties organizing, but each time I called you graciously accommodated me.

I cannot thank you enough for making our dream night come true! Be well and I hope to have you playing at future events! Susan D.

December 18th, 2021 The Intercontinental Hotel Boston, MA We had to reschedule multiple times because of COVID. Justin and his team were so fast to respond, and WS was definitely our most accommodating vendor by far! Ben S.

October 10th, 2021 The Starting Gate at Great Horse Hampden, MA Katlin was really easy to work with and extremely responsive. Even on the day of the wedding, we had a question about whether or not we needed a stage set up for the band, and Katlin called almost immediately after I emailed her.

We were so impressed with Wilson Stevens throughout the entire process. Thank you for being great communicators and letting us know what we needed to do to have the best experience. Reagan T.

September 25th, 2021 The Wequasett Resort Chatham, MA It has always been a pleasure working with you and your bands over the years. Anytime a client tells us that they have contracted through Wilson Stevens, we know that is one less thing we need to worry about on the day of the wedding. Thank you for maintaining that level of confidence through the years. Kalson P., Director Of Catering and Conference Services

Sept 25th, 2021 Wentworth Lodge Portland, ME A big shoutout to Wilson Stevens. They are an incredibly professional and trustworthy company. We had to reschedule our wedding due to COVID, and they seamlessly helped us navigate that process. This is the company I recommend to any of my friends or family getting married now. Reliability is such a key part to the wedding process and we felt such peace of mind knowing that we had Wilson Stevens backing up our band on our wedding day Jory K.

June 19th, 2021 Wadsworth Mansion Middletown, CT Justin, Katlin, and Cheryl were all incredible! Very responsive, and incredibly flexible throughout the pandemic, FOUR different wedding dates, and many changes to the contract. We are so grateful that they were so easy to work with. Laura D.

June 6th, 2021 The State Room Boston, MA WS was amazing! With all the COVID restriction changes they were so supportive and understanding. Tim Wilson told us not to worry they would accommodate anything we needed, a smaller band, a DJ or cancel the contract and they would refund our money! They are a company of integrity, honesty, and professionalism and we highly recommend them. Walter M.

June 5th, 2021 Waterfront Pavilion at Bristol Harbor Bristol, RI It was SUCH a pleasure working with your team - Justin has been exceptional as we navigated the pandemic and Katlin's thoroughness and organization enabled the day to go off without a glitch! The team was responsive and answered every question we had along the way. Working with your team was one of the easiest and worry-free parts of our wedding! Addie D.

June 5th, 2021 Tarry A While Resort Bridgton, ME Hands down would recommend Wilson Stevens to any and everyone who is looking for the perfect wedding band. I don't think you'll find another company who has perfected both the service and talent aspect in the way that they have. Probably the most accommodating and responsive vendor we worked with! Even amidst the craziness of COVID & rescheduling, they made the process seamless and were so supportive along the way. I can't say enough about the fabulous team. Kelsey G.

May 2, 2021 Valley Rock Inn and Mountain Club Sloatsburg, NY As always your company is wonderful to work with. Thank you for helping make the wedding spectacular! Andrea S.

April 24, 2021 New England Aquarium Boston, MA Thank you so much, Tim. You and your company have been so accommodating throughout this covid ordeal. We can't tell you how much we appreciate it-- we will recommend you far and wide, whenever we have the chance. Lindsey A.

February 18, 2021 The Sagamore Bolton Landing, NY We had such a great experience working with the Wilson Stevens in planning our 2021 wedding. Due to the Pandemic we are unable to have our dream wedding as planned and had to cancel our band. Justin was beyond accommodating and understanding of our situation and immediately answered us upon our cancellation request. Throughout the entire planning process they have been the easiest vendor to work with by far. I would highly recommend their services to any future couples. We are looking forward to hopefully working with them in the future! Kaitlyn C.

December 5, 2020 Osterville Historical Society Osterville, MA Working with the Wilson Stevens production company was the easiest and most enjoyable process while wedding planning! Justin and his team made everything from picking bands to booking easy and seamless. Unfortunately, I was not able to have the wedding I had originally planned due to the COVID-19 Pandemic. Justin was so easy and quick to respond to my emails with concerns and eventually my cancellation. I would always recommend them and hope maybe in the future to use them again! Elisabeth W.

October 7, 2020 Newport Vineyards Middletown, RI I knew when I hired Wilson Stevens that I would be getting fantastic entertainment as all the best events I’ve attended have always been with one of their bands, but what I didn’t know was what a first class company I would be working with. It is a family run business and that’s exactly what they make you feel like, one of the family. Tim, Justin and Cheryl always made themselves available and responded to each and every question or concern expeditiously and with compassion. Unfortunately our event had to be postponed multiple times because of Covid but they were always there to do whatever they could to make things work. When we had to finally cancel there were no questions asked and they sent a refund the next day. I would highly recommend them to everyone and look forward to booking them in the future. Margie L.

September 27, 2020 Crane Estate Ipswich, MA The entire Wilson Stevens staff was a pleasure to work with as we had to rearrange our wedding plans due to COVID. Everyone was supportive, collaborative, and understanding as we had to make changes and we felt fully supported throughout the entire experience. Rachel L.

August 22, 2020 Inn at Mountain View Farm East Burke, VT You guys were so helpful and professional and friendly. The easiest part of planning a wedding in a pandemic! I’m sure a few of my engaged friends will be contacting you…hopefully we’ll see you at a few 2021 weddings. Thank you!!! Hanna W.

August 14, 2020 Belle Mer Newport, RI We didn’t have the opportunity to have one of Wilson Stevens’ bands play at our wedding due to the pandemic, However our experience with them has been so easy throughout the planning process. They were compassionate and genuine when we had to pull the plug on our wedding, making the refund process fair without hesitation. Highly recommend, very important to work with people when planning big moments. Shoutout to Justin and Cheryl!

August 7, 2020 The Bohlin Newport, RI I don’t often leave reviews but felt inclined to share our experience with Wilson Stevens. We booked Groovin’ You to perform at our wedding – originally scheduled for October 2020. Once COVID hit and it gradually became clear that our October date wasn’t going to happen as planned, we started reaching out to our vendors. Wilson Stevens could not have been easier to work with or more amicable – truly class acts through and through. In the middle of a stressful time for all parties, it was heartening to see a company conduct itself with such compassion. Not sure when we’ll get a chance to reschedule the wedding festivities, but when we do, we’ll be going with Wilson Stevens for our entertainment. I’d recommend them to anyone and everyone – world-class folks. Brendan M.

July 25, 2020 York Golf & Tennis Club York, ME Wilson Stevens has been phenomenal to work with! We were originally supposed to get married in July 2020 but had to postpone to July 2021 due to Covid-19. Tim and his whole team have been so helpful during this stressful time, and made it so easy for us to switch our date. No questions asked and no additional fees. We're so looking forward to having Encore perform at our wedding! Sara Z.

June 18, 2020 Saltwater Farm Vineyard Stonington, CT COVID-19 really made this wedding tough to plan. Wilson Stevens was one of the easiest vendors to work with throughout the process, which really took the stress off of us. A few days before the wedding we realized that we couldn’t have all five band members perform until 10 PM so we jumped on the phone with Justin, and made an adjustment on the fly based on his recommendations. It worked perfectly, and our guests were still talking about how good the band was the next day. Chris & Paige C.

June 7, 2020 The Bohlin Newport, RI I cannot recommend Wilson Stevens enough!! I am a 2020 bride dealing with the headache of moving our wedding to 2021 due to COVID19 and Wilson Stevens has been overly helpful and understanding during these difficult times. I'm so glad to have Wilson Stevens on my vendor team because not only did they move our wedding date without any fuss or issues, they were consoling and sympathetic and expressed their support and sympathy for 2020 brides who are dealing with the frustration and anxiety of having to move our weddings to 2021. You will not regret having Wilson Stevens on your side, they'll go above and beyond to accommodate no matter what issue you are faced with! Lindsey T.

June 3, 2020 Cliff House Cape Neddick, ME Wilson Stevens have been great! We had to reschedule our June 2020 wedding twice, and both times they were extremely understanding and helpful in moving our booking. We originally booked Splash!, but they weren't going to be available for our first reschedule. Justin was extremely supportive in finding an alternate available option that would give us a similar vibe. Unfortunately, we had to reschedule again and were able to rebook Splash! All of this was at no cost and we were able to roll over our deposit. Marc N.

May 29, 2020 Bourne Farm Falmouth, MA THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!

Honestly of all the vendors we have running - you all have been the most prompt / responsive / willing to work with us through these times.

Can't say how much I appreciate it - keeps me sane. Laura Shen

May 13, 2020 Linekin Bay Resort Boothbay Harbor, ME Hi Tim,

Thank you again for everything. You’ve been by far the best vendor we’ve worked with. And you restored our faith in businesses/vendors during this trying time for our family. Carlen Rowan and Mike F.

April 8, 2020 Welch Allen Lodge Skaneatlis, NY We signed a contract for The Wilson Stevens company to provide the band for our daughters wedding this May 2020. Unfortunately due to the pandemic we had to cancel. Despite the typical cancellation policy they have, they did not even blink an eye and immediately offered to return every dollar of our deposit. That just reinforced that we are dealing with quality people. We have attended functions with their bands that we were really impressed with and that is how we got started with them initially. Great company, great bands! Jeff M.
