What our customers are saying
Sincere thanks for providing this wonderful band! Bill O. Seaport Boston Hotel Wedding - October 28, 2023 - Boston, MA

Hello Cheryl and Katlin;

As you know “The Connection” played at our wedding last Saturday Oct. 28. I’m struggling for the superlatives that we received from our family and guests as there were many. “SPECTATCULAR…BEST EVER… MADE THE WEDDING… GREAT MUSICIANS AND MUSIC…OMG INCREDIBLE MUSIC”…and on and on.

A terrific group of professional musicians and great individuals that absolutely hit the grand slam in front of 200 guests.  As I told the band leader and trumpet player, if I had another daughter, I would reserve the band immediately.

Sincere thanks for providing this wonderful band!

LOVED The Connection Jenna and Yannick S. State Room Wedding - October 21, 2023 - Boston, MA

I look forward to working with you again soon!

nothing but praise Scott S. Kittansett Club Event - August 12th, 2023 - Marion, MA
The Connection was truly great. I heard so many members remark that the band took the dress code request and nailed it, that they came out to the dance floor and joined the members – they were just upbeat and positive all the way through.  Please pass on my thanks to them. We have nothing but praise for the job you all did for us.

awesome from start to finish Kate M. Chatham Bars Inn Wedding - July 15, 2023 - Chatham, MA

Justin!

The Connection was WONDERFUL!!!  I lost count of how many times I heard that they were the best band ever. They did not disappoint and we are so grateful for their efforts! I will not hesitate to recommend them and your company to anyone who will listen. You have been awesome from start to finish and we are so appreciative.

Thank you again!

I cannot thank you enough Hector A. Onteora Mountain House Wedding - June 3, 2023 - Boiceville, NY

Justin,

I cannot thank you enough. The band knocked it over the Green Wall. Everybody loved them. Thanks for the extended special request song. My Brooklyn boys and I danced to it right in front of the vocalists and sang each and every verse with them. Please make sure to let them know I appreciated them. With all the guest goodbyes at the end i did not have time to go over to them and express my gratitude.

Thanks again for making Isabel and Rainiers day so very special. Regards to your father, Tim. Please know that Wilson Stevens will be recommended whole heartedly to everyone I know!

honestly amazing! Kathleen R. New Haven Lawn Club Wedding - December 30, 2022 - New Haven, CT

Working with you was seamless and The Connection was honestly amazing! The most talented band I’ve ever heard at any event (all of our guests were saying the same), and also great, personable and charismatic people. Everyone was dancing all night!!!

an A PLUS operation Marci B. Alden Castle Wedding - November 19, 2022 - Brookline, MA

We are so grateful that we booked The Connection for Lisa & Kevin’s wedding this past weekend. THEY WERE AMAZING and exceeded our already high expectations!  They had everyone on their feet the entire night. Every song was perfect and sounded like the original artists. The band was our number one priority for the night and boy did you deliver!!!! 

Our guests came from near and far and have heard many wedding bands and I can’t tell you how many people told us they wished they had them in their areas. 

You run an A PLUS operation!  When my other daughter gets married you will be the first call we make. 

Thank you for making my daughters dream wedding come true!

Best regards.

INCREDIBLE Elizabeth B. New Haven Lawn Club Wedding - November 12, 2022 - New Haven, CT

We just wanted to touch base and thank you both for your help throughout the entire process leading up to our wedding. The Connection Band was INCREDIBLE and every person couldn’t rave about them enough. Please share our thank you with all of them! Be well, happy holidays and thank you so much again for everything!

we could not be more grateful Elliot & Taylor S. Southern Vermont Arts Center Wedding - October 15, 2022 - Manchester, VT

Hey Justin!

WOW – I’m not sure that we (or our guests) will ever stop talking about The Connection. Talk about exceeding expectations in every way possible. The dance floor was PACKED the entire night, and everything ran incredibly smoothly. I seriously have not attended a wedding where the dance floor was filled the entire time. It was AWESOME!

We seriously cannot thank you and your team enough. You were an absolute pleasure to work with, and we could not be more grateful. Based on the number of people who asked about our band, we expect to be attending MANY more weddings featuring the Wilson Stevens crew. 

Again, we sincerely thank you and your team for bringing the perfect energy to our celebration. Wishing you all the best and thanks again!!

AMAZING, OUT OF THIS WORLD Annette and Tony R. Mayflower Inn and Spa Wedding - October 8, 2022 - Washington, CT

Dear Justin,

We would like to thank you for sending us the most AMAZING, OUT OF THIS WORLD, INCREDIBLE, PHENOMENAL, and EXTREMELY TALENTED band!!! Once the music started the dance floor remained packed the entire night. Even the non dancers stood on the sides clapping and stomping their feet. It was nonstop fun!!  As mother of the bride my biggest wish was for people to have a great time. This band exceeded all expectations as the musical talent could not be ignored. It was just TOO GOOD!!!!  I cannot count how many people asked us who the band was and where they were from. Each performer in the band was so uniquely talented!! Even the Spanish songs the bride and groom asked the band to learn were outstanding!!!!

Throughout the evening and even the NEXT DAY hotel guests were asking who the band was, saying they sat out by the fire pits and just loved the music. This is one quote from a fellow who stopped both my husband and me. He said “where did you ever find that band? I have been in the music business for over 20 years and that was one of the best I’ve ever heard.”   We couldn’t agree more!

In closing, thank you personally for being so helpful and accommodating throughout the entire process and a final thank you for making Alexandra and Juan’s wedding so AMAZING and memorable!! We will continue to recommend you and hope that our paths will cross again one day!!!

THE BEST Luca M. New England Outdoor Center Wedding - October 1, 2022 - Millinocket, ME

Thanks to all of youl!!  THE CONNECTION WAS AMAZING!!!!!  Everyone was saying they were just THE BEST wedding band ever!!

Just back from our mini-moon, but we wanted to acknowledge all of you and just THANK YOU SO MUCH!!

absolute pleasure Brenda C. Connecticut Convention Center Event - September 24, 2022 - Hartford, CT

Absolutely love doing business with Wilson Stevens. Year after year the entire team never disappoints. Everyone goes above and beyond and is an absolute pleasure to business with.

knocked it out of the park! Julia and Dan T. Ocean Cliff Resort - September 18, 2022 - Newport RI

Hi Justin,

 Wow!!  The Connection absolutely crushed it at our Wedding!  They had everyone dancing all night long!  Everyone kept coming up to us to tell us they were the best wedding band they had ever seen, and many of our friends and family asked us for your contact information.  The Band has tremendous energy, love to interact with people, going out on the floor during numerous songs, they knocked it out of the park! Also, we were very taken with how genuinely kind the entire band was.

Justin, you were a real pleasure to work with in planning the Music and logistics.  You are a consummate professional!

Thank you so much for making our Celebration a truly memorable one!  We hope to be fortunate enough to experience Wilson Stevens and “The Connection” band again in the future!

better than we could have imagined Heather L. Kennebunk River Club - September 10, 2022 - Kennebunkport, ME

Hey Justin,

Sorry for the late message, we just got back into town. We just wanted to thank you so much for all your effort with our wedding celebration! The Connection was amazing! “Everyone” raved about the band!! Pretty much everyone danced all night and it was better than we could have imagined.

We can’t wait for another night out with The Connection 🙂

beyond our wildest dreams Sam and Hannah K. Museum of Science Wedding - September 4, 2022 - Boston, MA

Justin,

You were amazing to work with. It was beyond our wildest dreams – everything was absolutely perfect. We can’t stop talking about how beautifully everything came together. We are so grateful. 

The Connection was unbelievable!! Beyond our expectations! Everyone was talking the entire night about how they’re the best band they’ve ever seen. 

THANK YOU SO MUCH!! 

incredible performance Anthea L. Valley Rock In Wedding - August 20, 2022 - Sloatsburg, NY

Hi Cheryl, 

We just wanted to write to say a HUGE thank you to Wilson Steves & The Connection for absolutely crushing it at our wedding this past weekend. They absolutely brought the party with their incredible performance. We are so grateful to them & were blown away by their talent. Please let them know we said so. 

Thank you again!!

a fantastic wedding Dave P. Wadsworth Mansion at Long Hill Wedding - July 10, 2022 - Middletown, CT

Cheryl,

Thank you to Wilson Stevens and The Connection for a fantastic wedding. The weather and venue were perfect and the band had the guests dancing the entire time. As my daughter and Luigi have told me many times, it is all about the music!! 

You were all wonderful to work with. Please give my thanks to the band members as I was not able to thank each one personally.

genuinely invested Kevin and Grace S. Newagen Seaside Inn Wedding - July 2, 2022 - Southport, ME

Hi Justin,

Thank you so, so much again for everything that you and the whole Wilson Stevens team did to make our wedding so much fun! The band was everything we could have possibly asked for in our wedding band. On top of that, Wilson Stevens was our favorite – and easiest – vendor to work with. You were responsive, super flexible, and it felt like you were genuinely invested in making our wedding a success. 

We intentionally made our dance floor “oversized” for the size of our wedding, but there still wasn’t a single moment of the night when every inch of the dance floor wasn’t packed! The Connection did a perfect job balancing its set list between older songs that everyone knew and newer top songs that kept all our friends excited to be out on the dance floor. In fact, at one point several family friends and older members of the wedding formed a separate dancing section near the tent, and that was just as lively as the actual dance floor (we have video of an uncle jumping off a bench perfectly timed to the beat of the song). 

I can’t tell you how many people – many of whom have been to countless weddings over the years – come up to us and rave about our band, telling us it was the best wedding band they’ve ever seen. We’re so grateful to The Connection and the entire Wilson Stevens team for helping to make our wedding such a special and fun night. 

Thank you so much again!

The Connection was perfect! Mindy R. Wolfeboro Inn Wedding - June 25, 2022 - Wolfeboro, ME

Justin!

The Connection was perfect! The crowd LOVED them!! You were all so accommodating and we cannot thank you enough!!

I can’t give you enough compliments Regina D. The Galley On Cliffside Beach Wedding - May 28, 2022 - Nantucket, MA

Hi Cheryl,

Regina here. I just want to tell you how thrilled we were with THE CONNECTION. They were spot-on with their music choices engaging all guests. Kudos to the band, they were awesome and perfect. We couldn’t have expected anything better, and I can’t give you enough compliments.

absolutely unmatched Gillian D. Granite Links Golf Club Wedding - April 23, 2022 - Quincy, MA

Genuinely, our wedding guests keep saying The Connection is the best band they have EVER seen at a wedding and we completely agree! The song choices and band talent and energy are absolutely unmatched!

completely incredible! Danielle D. Beauport Hotel Wedding - November 13, 2021 - Gloucester, MA

I just wanted to thank you for all of the work you put in with the band for our wedding at Beauport this past weekend. The Connection was completely incredible! All of our guests have been raving about them and saying it was the best wedding they’ve ever been to- the band was a HUGE part of the success of the night. Please extend our thanks to each of them!

Thanks again!

absolutely masterful Caitlin F. Winslow Estate Wedding - October 9, 2021 - Orleans, MA

Dear Justin and Katlin,

This weekend was hands down the most fun we’ve ever had. Nathan and I had the biggest smiles on our faces SATURDAY ALL DAY AND NIGHT AND THE LAST TWO DAYS. We’re still dancing around the house. We truly had the most incredible wedding celebration on Saturday, and our hearts are full. The Connection was AMAZING. You have no idea how many people told us that they were the best wedding band they’ve ever heard or they’ve never seen a dance floor packed all night long. They were absolutely masterful – from the song selection to getting the crowd going, to their thoughtfulness- likely playing cake by the ocean as we were dancing with plates of our funfetti cake, literally steps away from the ocean. I am extremely grateful that they learned XO for Caroline to sing with them. And then we were all shook when they played sweet caroline right after, and she was serenaded by the horns on the dance floor. The singers got the crowd going when they got on the dance floor – my father in law hates dancing in public and he was spotted doing the air guitar at some point! Truly, if you said that I could only leave a 500-word review, I’d have to go over the limit.

Justin and Katlin, you were so patient with me and understanding when we had to postpone our party twice and change dates, but also from last minute emails I sent, like please play party in the USA for my husband the day before the wedding (Thank you for that – I’ve never seen him move his hips like that before). From the bottom of our hearts, thank you. I can obviously go on and on.

blown away with the band Kara & Andrew Artists for Humanity Epicenter Wedding - October 12, 2019 - Boston, MA

I cannot begin to thank The Connection enough for being such a BIG part of our wedding day at the AFH Epicenter!! As a family who has extremely high expectations for dancing, I can say we were blown away with the band as were all of our guests! We’ve already gotten several people asking us to share the name for their own events! The electric piano during the ceremony was EXACTLY what I pictured – I didn’t get to tell him myself (I was too busy dancing) so please pass along a HUGE thank you! I know I had very specific requests and you accommodated all of it.

Also, thank you to Katlin and Justin who have helped so much along the way! You have been beyond responsive and eased my nerves going into the day.

Please pass this along to everyone involved!!!

"One more song, one more song!" Cyndee and Charles R. Boston Harbor Hotel Wedding - August 10, 2019 - Boston, MA

Dear Katlin and the entire band/sound technicians from The Connection,

I wanted to take a moment to ensure that you were properly thanked for your work for our daughter’s wedding at the Boston Harbor Hotel. From the music at the ceremony, the musicians at the cocktail hour through the band at the wedding – You all did a GREAT job!

My guests LOVED the band and it showed, especially at the end when the whole dance floor chanted “One more song, one more song!” Even some guests who couldn’t join on the floor said they were singing along every song from their seats. We loved when you joined in the crowd on the dance floor – this made the party! We had a tough crowd too – there were many professional dancers as guests who didn’t hold back!

We loved your musical selections, the sound was rich and the vocalists were fantastic! Thank you again for making our kids wedding day so special.

#thatbandthough Jessica R. Black Swan Country Club Wedding - August 3, 2019 - Georgetown, MA

The band was the best part of the reception. People are still talking about them and will continue! The instruments were amazing, the singers’ voices were amazing and the songs were perfect for the crowd! Our friends who posted after the wedding put the hashtag #thatbandthough which says a lot! I cannot say thank you enough to the band and Wilson Stevens. A lot of our friends are getting married within the next couple years so if they were smart they would have The Connection 😉

They topped off the event perfectly Barbara and Steven L. Seacoast Science Center Wedding - August 2, 2019 - Rye, NH

they were absolutely fabulous Libby J. Beauport Hotel Wedding - July 12, 2019 - Gloucester, ME

Hi Justin,

I was wondering if you could let me know where the best place would be to leave a review for The Connection. I want to make sure to leave one ASAP…they were absolutely fabulous at our wedding this past Friday! I never had a chance to thank them personally, but I have had so many people already tell me that our wedding was the best wedding they have ever been to and that the band was the best band they have ever seen and the best entertainment they have ever had at a wedding by far! Everyone was so impressed by them, and I truly believe they made our wedding. I just wish I could have had more time to dance but got caught up talking for too long! I hope they end up playing at another wedding I attend as a guest. 🙂

Thank you!

It was the perfect playlist! Marcie and Jeff J. Boston Harbor Hotel Wedding - June 30, 2019 - Boston, MA

We had a wonderful time and we are so happy we chose The Connection for our wedding. They worked with us for off-repertoire songs that we wanted. The music was exceptional- the choices were appropriate for our multigenerational crowd and had the dance floor packed all night! It was the perfect playlist!! Our guests are still raving about the music! Thanks for being the best band ever!!

better than I expected Caitlin B. Mountain Top Inn & Resort Wedding – March 30, 2019 - Chittenden, VT

I booked this band before I even booked my venue. I saw them once before and knew I needed them at my wedding. I had great discussions with Tim, Katlin, Joey, and the whole gang. Everything was amazing! The Connection performed better than I expected and all the guests are still talking about how awesome they were. We have all lost our voices from singing on the dance floor — SO WORTH IT! Thank you SO MUCH for everything!

the entire band was just phenomenal Nicole H. Royal Sonesta Hotel Wedding – November 3, 2018 - Cambridge, MA

The entire band was just phenomenal. I honestly cannot say enough about how great they were from start to finish. We heard from many of our guests that the band was by far the best they had ever heard at a wedding. We completely agree.
