Radiance

COVID-19 really made this wedding tough to plan. Radiance, and Wilson Stevens were 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.

Marcus, and the rest of the band did an amazing job with our first dance song, Sanctuary. I’ve heard a few different versions, and that was my favorite one. All of the other songs they played that night were amazing too. They kept the energy up, and dialed it down for some couples dances in between.

I’ve seen Radiance perform at three previous weddings before I hired them for our wedding. Everything about the band, and Wilson Stevens is top notch. I would recommend them to anyone.

Sal and Katlin,

Words fail, so we’ll stick with AMAZING and THANK YOU. It was everything we all could have hoped for. Not only technically great,  but warm and engaging – and you and the whole band really felt part of the celebration.

We are most grateful to you and Radiance.

Hope the trip back was pleasant.

Thanks again!

We could not have been happier with Radiance – thanks!

We love Wilson Stevens!!! Great band, accommodating and easy to work with! Thank you Radiance!

From start to finish, the entire experience was wonderful!!! Wow. That is all I can say. All of my guests continue to talk about our wedding and Radiance nearly 2 weeks later. I’m positive that this is the best band out there! Everything was perfect – the songs played got everyone on the dance floor literally from the beginning of the night until the bitter end. My sister isn’t engaged (yet), but we know that we will 100% be using Wilson Stevens again for her wedding!!

Created exactly what we wanted, kept everyone involved and on the dance floor from start to finish. Don’t think I could have done any better with picking Radiance to be the band for my wedding. Thank you!

I could not be more happier with how Radiance performed at our wedding! Everyone who attended the wedding said they had such a great time and that is directly correlated to Radiance’s outstanding performance! They were fantastic! I loved them and I hope to see them perform again!

Hi Katlin,

I hope you’re well! I just wanted to send a quick thank you note to say THANK YOU to Radiance!!! They were absolutely amazing on our wedding day and we’ve received millions of compliments!!! Thank you x a million!!!

Hey Justin!

We had a FANTASTIC experience with Radiance. So many of our guests have told us that they are the best wedding band they’ve ever heard.

Thanks again!

Hi Justin and Sal,

We just wanted to say thanks again for Saturday night. We were blown away by the energy Radiance brought! You guys were the talk of the wedding the next day and Liz and I had a blast on the dance floor.

Thanks for everything!

Dear Justin,

Finally pulling all my thoughts together after my daughter’s wedding two weeks ago!

I simply cannot say enough about Radiance.  Each and every member of the band was so professional but at the same time warm and friendly… they seemed to be having as good a time as all the guests.  Every one at the wedding cannot stop talking about the band, their music, their dancing and their performing- unbelievably awesome.  And Sal was perfect at the ceremony!

I, as mother of the bride, never left the dance floor, and my daughter and her groom enjoyed every minute.

Thank you, thank you! Please express my appreciation to the band members… I know that guests at the wedding will remember and hopefully seek Radiance out if they are in need of a band for an event.

Now that things have started to settle down, Adam & I finally have the headspace to send the thoughtful thank you note that you deserve!

First off, we feel so fortunate to have you as part of our wedding team. While a lot of planning went into the wedding, I never for a second worried about you or any of my vendors. It was so comfortable knowing we had such professionals (and friends) on our side day-of.

Radiance was fantastic and our guests loved every minute of the performance. From the ceremony to cocktail hour until the last song, each artist was fantastic!

Thank you again for all your hard work and love you poured into making our wedding day so special. We hope you enjoyed your weekend as much as we did!

Please stay in touch and I hope our paths cross on event down the road!

Hi Sal and Sam, thank you so much for all your help and for the great performance on Friday. The guests loved it and you definitely kept them dancing all night. Was great working with both of you and I look forward to working with Radiance again in the future.

From our very first contact with Wilson Stevens they were amazing. Everyone was so kind and helpful. We had multiple conversations with Tim, even on his vacation!!! Wilson Stevens was extremely professional, and handled everything.

As for our wedding, well, there wasn’t a person sitting down in their seat the entire time the band was playing. We have heard nothing but wonderful reviews of Radiance at our wedding. They were fun, energetic and put on an amazing show. Best band we have ever heard at a wedding.

Simply put, We LOVE Radiance and the Wilson Stevens group. Our guest can’t stop talking about how wonderful the music was. The dance floor was packed and full of energy the entire night. We can’t say enough good things about Radiance!

We heard wonderful comments all night long about the band. They really made the wedding enjoyable for all ages. Thank you for everything!

It was extremely easy and convenient to conduct business with Wilson Stevens! Tim provided lots of information as we were looking at bands and the videos were great. Once we had selected our band, Cheryl supported us through the contract signing process. Finally Sam and Sal were absolutely amazing helping us pick our songs for the reception and for the ceremony. We couldn’t have asked for a more personal and supportive experience!

The quality of music for Radiance was absolutely unreal! All of our guests commented on how amazing the band was, and they had the party up on their feat dancing for hours. We were so impressed with each and every band member. You guys are simply incredible!!!!!! Thank you for making our reception so fun, lively, and unforgettable. We can’t thank you enough!

Everyone was so professional and helpful, from beginning to end. Working with Wilson Stevens was more than easy – it was a pleasure! Our band was amazing and everyone had a blast. In fact two of our friends are trying to get Radiance for their daughters’ weddings! Best night ever!!!

I can’t thank you enough for performing at Hilary and Chris’s wedding this past weekend at the Country Club. Radiance was just outstanding!  In the past two days, we’ve been hearing from MANY of our friends and family who have all said they were blown away by the band. Your level of skill and musical versatility is really exceptional, and you helped make the wedding reception so joyful and celebratory. Thanks again for being there and providing us with stellar entertainment.

Radiance was fantastic! Our guests kept commenting on how incredible they were. We all enjoyed them and they were super fun to have at our wedding. The talent in this band is truly remarkable. Thank you for making our wedding dance party the best it could be!

Dear Justin, 

My husband Michael and I just got married this past weekend at the Connors Center in Dover, and we had the Radiance perform at our reception. We’ve been holding off a bit on reaching out again because honestly, we have so much to say that we aren’t even sure where to start!

Suffice it to say that the top two comments we got throughout the evening (even after the reception was over) were:
1. Congrats, you’re married
2. How in the world did you find this band?! They are INCREDIBLE.

We were honestly hearing about how amazing Radiance was well into the next morning, and were even told by so many people that they hoped they could hire Radiance for their own weddings in the future, too. 

This meant so, so much to us… when our wedding planner initially asked us to rank the aspects of our wedding that were most important to us from 1 to 10, the only 10s we put out in the long list of things were for music, drinks, and photography. Making sure our guests had a great time at the reception was by far the most important thing to us about this most important day, and Radiance blew our wildest hopes and imaginations clear out of the water. 

So, we want to relay 100+ people’s highest praise to you and the members of Radiance, who I hope will see this too! People were caught up in dancing but would keep pausing to admire the vocals or the instrumental solos being played on stage, and our most music-obsessed friends couldn’t stop talking about just how amazing the band sounded. 

If there is anything we can do to help – perhaps a public review or rating anywhere that would be most beneficial to you, we would love the chance to share our experience with the world. 🙂 

Thank you for *making* our wedding night, and we hope we might get another chance to dance to Radiance’s music at one of our friends’ weddings in the future 😉

I have received compliments from just about every attendee at our wedding about this band. You were all incredible and we are so grateful you were there to make our day so wonderful and fun. You are so talented! Thanks again. I will recommend Radiance highly!

We truly do not have enough good things to say about Radiance and our overall experience working with Wilson Stevens. The band was incredible and we received so many comments from guests about how impressed they were. They had amazing energy and kept everyone on the dance floor all night long. When we decided late into the evening that we actually wanted to do a hora (after telling their manager no previously), they were able to do it on the fly for us and it was one of the highlights of the night. These are incredibly talented people and we would recommend them 100 times over. Thank you for an unforgettable night!

The band was OVER THE TOP FABULOUS. Everyone in attendance of our wedding as well as the hotel staff LOVED the band! Most importantly the bride and groom were incredibly happy with the band. It was such a magical and fun wedding. Also, the guitarist was superb for the ceremony as was the electric piano for the cocktail hour – perfect! Thank-you to each and everyone as they were magnificent!!!!!!!!!! We had several people ask us for the band information. I am certain you will receive many calls from our guests (some have weddings next year) Thank-you SO much!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Tim! The band was absolutely FANTASTIC, everyone is still raving about Radiance and I actually have had a few guests inquire about contact info who may be reaching out to book them for a few events in the next year! Working on the survey now with beaming reviews!

Thank you for the amazing recommendation and we hope to have an opportunity to book Radiance again in the future!

Thanks so much for everything, it was a pleasure working with you, Sam and the group- we have some great footage of the band at the wedding (my dad got on the drums for a few songs which was a hit!) let me know if you’d like us to send along! 

Radiance was amazing! They kept everyone on the dance floor and gave an amazing performance. I received so many compliments from wedding guests and so many people asking me for the band’s information. This band is worth every penny and was the best decision we made for our wedding reception! Everyone at Wilson Stevens was so kind and easy to work with. The band’s liaison was organized and extremely helpful. You can’t go wrong if you choose a Wilson Stevens band for your wedding!

Micheline and I would like to thank you for providing us with one of the best evenings of entertainment ever. All the music was superb from the ceremony through the cocktail hour and into the reception. The band was tight and perfect. The crowd loved them and even pulled them back for an encore. My nephew has been a music producer for 20 years and said he has never heard something like this ever before. Thank you again. Please pass these compliments to the Radiance band.

I booked Radiance, without writing a whole novel on my accolades. Simply put, the ENTIRE wedding was on the dance floor the entire night and two of my friends have reached out to book Radiance AND my sister as well. They were just unbelievable from top to bottom. The truly made my wedding

The night of, and for the many days following, all my guests were beyond complementary of the quality of the music and performance from Radiance. You guys set the tone for our wedding and it was a blast! Everyone was out on the dance floor.

Music was my single most important consideration outside of venue. I have pretty picky music taste and am usually the resident DJ amongst my friends, so I can be a tough critic. But you absolutely delivered. Everyone had such a time. I had a few friends say that we should pool our money for a part once a year just to have Radiance play it haha. Thank you for everything!

I don’t know where to begin… Wilson Stevens went above and beyond on ensuring we had the band of our dreams for our big day. The customer service was INCREDIBLE and we are both truly blown away by the support that we received from Wilson Stevens.

Our guests are still raving about Radiance and keep saying they were the best band they’ve ever heard. Ryan and I couldn’t agree more 🙂 One of our dear friends wants to switch their wedding band to Radiance because they are still blown away by the phenomenal performance. Not only was the quality of music incredible but the energy they brought to our wedding was insane. I still get the chills when I think back to our wedding day and I want to relive it over and over again and I know that a big reason behind this is Radiance. We couldn’t have been happier with our choice in band and I will continue to recommend them in the future! I cannot begin to tell you how many people have said it was the best wedding they’ve been to!

You guys were FANTASTIC!!!!! Thank you so so much for bringing the A game…I hope the “always-full” dance floor was clear enough proof that everyone was really digging the tunes. It was the party of our lives, and your role in that was so big. 

Sal, your renditions of Copperline and Wonderful Tonight were exceptional. The notes were ringing so clear that it brought the emotional powerfulness to a level that is burned in my memory. 

Thank you all for your part of making the whole day and night perfect. We fully acknowledge all of the time, organization, effort and day of execution that goes into it and you need to know it totally exceeded our expectations. Thank you RADIANCE!!!

Radiance was fantastic! All of our guests could not stop talking about how amazing they were. We could not have been more happy!

Hi Justin,

What a wonderful wedding Renee and Peter had. The band was superb. Dancing was a top theme for this wedding and Radiance certainly delivered. They were very accommodating to Renee and Peters’ requests. The song they danced their first dance to – Queen Bee – by Taja Mahal was played superbly even though they only had a couple of weeks to prepare. It was outstanding in every way. We had to add time onto the event because I knew no-one was ready to leave the dance floor.

Thanks for all of your help in making Renee and Peters’ wedding such a memorable event for everyone. Please pass this on to Radiance.

…from The Bride:

Radiance kept us dancing and grooving all night long! They were fantastic at reading the crowd. They are incredible musicians… very very talented.

We had the time of our lives because of them!!

Lou Coiro

Justin was always quick to respond to emails and provide answers to any questions. He often reassured me that I could never ask too many questions. Very accommodating to changes to the plan, which changed quite often. Thank you so much for working so closely with us to provide us with the most spectacular and memorable night of our lives!

RADIANCE IS THE BEST!

Just a quick note about Sal and the entire Radiance band.

In a word: incredible!

The band was on fire from start to finish. Playing the perfect blend of music for the occasion! Their rendition of “Ship it up to Boston” brought the house down. I can’t say enough good things about band! They are top-notch musicians and vocalists performing at a very high level. Everyone had the same opinion of Radiance…outstanding!

Thanks and please let Sal, Tim, and the band know how much we appreciate them. Our daughter absolutely loved the entire day and was so happy we picked Radiance.

Outstanding vocalists and a group of unbelievably talented musicians!!! The band even danced together (without being cheesy) and had excellent energy. The saxophonist performed a solo on the dance floor with our guests, as the vocalists did for another song!! The venue was prone to echoes but the sound engineer did an AMAZING job taking this into account. Zero echoes and the perfect sound level.

Radiance is an extremely talented band and I can’t say enough good things about them. Their performance throughout the night was flawless. Our guests raved about them and they truly made our wedding a special night!!

Thank you so much for making our wedding a dream come true, from the lovely keyboard music at the ceremony to our first dance and all the wonderful songs at the reception. Radiance was spectacular. We couldn’t have been more amazed and happy 🙂 All of our guests raved about Radiance!

Thank you for being a pleasure to work with and for making our day so special.

I knew I wanted our guests to enjoy their evening. Radiance made that happen. We started looking a year ago and found numerous bands in the Wilson Stevens group of interest. While the band experienced some changes I was always made aware and provided decision-making. Now that the night has come and gone, I would seek this group out just to re-experience their talented performance. Thank you for being a part of a day I will never forget.

We were very, very happy with Radiance! This is the 3rd time that I heard them at a wedding within the past 2 years and they were outstanding once again.

Thank you!

My husband and I are so happy with Radiance! They did such a great job with our first dance (which was not on the list of their songs). They got the whole crowed up and dancing. We couldn’t have been happier with their performance 🙂

AMAZING! We were blown away by how great Radiance was. Everyone was dancing all night! We loved that people were up and dancing even in between dinner courses! They played all the songs we wanted, and did a wonderful job engaging the guests! The only downside was our dance floor wasn’t big enough to accommodate everyone’s dancing! I wish I could hire radiance every weekend! Best part of the wedding! Thank you so much!

Everyone was amazed by Radiance! You kept everyone on their feet! Thank you for making our wedding perfect!

PS, I loved Sam and Cheryl 🙂

What can I say… Radiance was amazing, professional and talented!

Thank you!

Dear Radiance,

Thank you so much for making our wedding day absolutely perfect. The music was amazing and we heard nothing but good things from our guests. It was a pleasure working with you and everyone at Wilson Stevens.

Sincerely,

Radiance was great! Very professional and sounded amazing. They were also very accommodating with a last minute request to have my sister-in-law join them on stage for the last song – Whitney Houston “Dance With Somebody”. I would have informed the band ahead of time that we wanted someone from the crowd to perform but it was completely unplanned and they just went with it! I can imagine that could be a bit of a shock to have someone join them on stage and be able to play with a completely random performer, but I have to say everyone sounded amazing! We can’t thank them enough for accommodating this request as it just would not have been the same without her performing at the wedding 🙂

Every email was responded to usually within the hour. Everyone at Wilson Stevens was extremely knowledgeable and a pleasure to speak with.

The night was amazing, Radiance was amazing. So many compliments on them and guests asking name/company to use them. Thanks so much!

Hi Jen and Justin,

Frank and I just wanted to let you know how amazing Radiance was for Amanda and Josh’s wedding on Saturday June 4. They were everything you had both promised and more!

Jen; you were so patient and helpful throughout the entire process and I can’t thank you enough. Justin; you also put our minds to rest regarding the new additions to the band.

The band can make or break a wedding and Radiance definitely made the wedding. Sal was great as the MC, he went with the flow and was so accommodating.

So many guests came up to us and said how amazing the band was and that they would love to have them for their occasions. At the brunch the next day, people were still going on about how great the band was. Amanda and Josh had such a wonderful time and danced right up until the end.

We can’t thank you all enough for making the wedding a huge success.

Sincerely,

We got countless comments about Radiance, the lead vocals, the horns, the song selection, and the energy. They were spectacular.

They totally understood the vibe we were going for. The pre-wedding calls were very helpful and Radiance came through with exactly what we wanted.

I really can’t thank you guys enough!

We got SO many compliments on Radiance at our wedding. They were so accommodating and kept the dance floor packed all night!

Sal was wonderful and so easy to talk to. Radiance was professional, friendly, and spot on! They rocked it all night.

Radiance was fabulous and Kathy Wilson was very helpful.

All of our guests commented on what a great band it was. Everyone was dancing all night long. We could not have been more pleased. Thanks for making it a great evening.

What a great night! Radiance was awesome, the two singers fantastic, all was unbelievable! The dance floor was packed until the very last second of the evening….thank you Radiance!

Radiance was great and put on a spectacular, energetic and professional performance. Wilson Stevens was professional and courteous for sure. Our daughter Kara handled most of the communication with the band and she was very pleased and satisfied.

It was notable that the dance floor was full the entire evening of 20 somethings and us older folks too. It also helped that we had mid 80 degree temps with a blistering full moon. Yes, we would highly recommend and use you again. Thank you very much.

Radiance was absolutely amazing. They had everyone dancing all night long. We HIGHLY recommend them to anyone looking to have an awesome night! Not only were they a great band, but they are and kindest, most fun group of people. We had a blast with them even long after the wedding had ended!

I honestly cannot say enough good things about Wilson Stevens and Radiance! We had a fantastic time at our wedding, danced all night, and are still hearing from our guests about how much they loved the band! Thank you for making our wedding such a huge success and for being so easy to speak with and reach to ensure everything was ready-to-go. We are so happy we chose your company and Radiance in particular!!

My wedding was June 2015 at the Boston Harbor Hotel. Radiance was my band and I am SO glad we picked them! All my guests were raving about them! They were fun, energetic, played great songs (even learned some for us) and they invited us up on stage to sing with them! They added so much to our special night! We are blessed to have had them as our band! DEFINITELY would recommend!

Radiance did a phenomenal job at our wedding! All of our guests came up to us during and after the reception and raved about the band. We couldn’t be happier with their selection of music and the fun atmosphere they created at our wedding!

Radiance was amazing!!!! Everyone loved the band! Thanks for everything 🙂

Radiance was absolutely AMAZING. They had our dance floor full all night. Weeks later we still have people telling us they were the best wedding band they’ve ever seen! They played such a good variety of music to cater to all age groups and were open to taking requests from the guests.

We had a gloomy/rainy wedding day and were nervous it would effect the mood of the crowd but Radiance made sure that didn’t happen. Evans voice is unbelievable and Sal was a great MC. They were a pleasure to work with and we would 100% use them again–they were one of the reasons our wedding day was the best day of our lives 🙂

Radiance totally made our party! They knew how to work the flow of our event. I was so impressed with their professionalism and talent. They know what they are doing and how to work a party. Everyone was on the dance floor the entire night. I would use them again in a heartbeat.

Radiance was fun, engaging, professional and made our wedding reception. Many, many compliments from guests. Great variety of songs, very happy!

Justin,

I just wanted to reach out and let you know how much we loved Radiance. They really out did themselves!!!! We had such an amazing wedding and from the ceremony to the reception they just nailed it. We were extremely happy with everything they did for our special day.

Thanks again.

Everyone at our wedding said Radiance was the best band they have ever heard.  Some referred to the reception as a “concert.”  It was unbelievable that they allowed Caitlin and I (Chris) to sing a song on stage for Cait’s love of karaoke.  One of my friends fathers told the band he was booking them for his daughters wedding…..his daughter isn’t even engaged yet.

A+, 2 thumbs up.  We could not have been happier with Radiance.

You just can’t get any better than Radiance! They were so diverse and all so good!

Radiance was simply excellent!!! We had numerous guests asking us who was the band with rave reviews!

I can’t thank all of you enough. From the first moment I contacted Wilson Stevens and Justin answered the phone, I felt taken care of. He was friendly and personable and extremely helpful. A huge weight was lifted off my shoulders. All communications during the planning process were easy. And as we neared the big day, it appeared that the timing of our ceremony and photographs was going to push back the start of the fun stuff: dancing! With only about ten days to go, they agreed to stay 45 minutes longer and we arranged a new contract. Very, very appreciated.

They. Were. Awesome.

Radiance was fun, exciting, extremely entertaining, and everyone loved them. Leading up to the wedding, you all responded quickly to emails, always were there to help, and Wilson Stevens one of the highlights of planning our wedding. I would 100% recommend you. Well worth the money!

Radiance made our Christmas party the best its ever been in the 20 years we have been having them!

Fran and I just wanted to thank you guys, Radiance was awesome. It set the tone for the whole night. Everyone is still talking about the band. You guys appeased every demographic in the audience, which was our biggest concern. All age groups were dancing, and Sal’s italian was maybe the best part of the whole night.

Thanks for helping make out night so perfect, let us know where we can leave positive feedback and reviews!
