August 31st, 2024 Barn at Flanagan Farm Buxton, ME Most importantly, a special thank you to Emily as you were incredibly responsive, patient, and detail-oriented which relieved a lot of pressure on our end.

May 18th, 2024 Woodland Golf Club Auburndale, MA I will forever be grateful and impressed by the team at Wilson Stevens and their talented band. We had every confidence in Wilson Stevens from our first meeting to the final meeting and then to the celebration itself.

We wanted to pass along our sincere thanks to you and the group for a wonderful Saturday evening, for helping things run smoothly, and for being so flexible with Nick's surprise song. We especially appreciated the help with the production schedule, working with our planner to figure out a rain plan, and on the day of, for coming prepared for all the little things (break music included)!

September 23rd, 2023 The Villa at Ridder Country Club East Bridgewater, MA Justin and the whole WS team! You guys alllll helped me so much with all of the technicalities and details that I wanted in order to really make it special. From the referral of the strings (who were AMAZING), to the sound stuff & the acoustic guitar, to scheduling it all out for my surprise for Shane…The whole night was perfect. Plus, as if Emily wasn’t already talented enough as a vocalist and human, she’s truly a perfect liaison- with incredible people skills and her amazing response time! She made me feel so comfortable and so NOT annoying as a bride :).

Wilson Stevens has always been, and will always be, so special to me for so many reasons. You all did NOT have to be so accommodating, and wonderful, but you were anyway. You really went above and beyond for me and Shane. I’m forever thankful. Sam D.

September 22nd, 2023 Herreshoff Marine Museum Bristol, RI Hi Katlin,

I just wanted to reach out and thank you so much for making my wedding the best night ever! Your company exceeded my expectations from the organization of the booking process all the way to the performance. I felt like I was at a live concert! Jessica G.

September 2nd, 2023 Cape Club Sharon, MA Best decision we made was booking with Wilson Stevens! Definitely the highlight of our wedding, and all the guests still talk about how amazing the band was! They kept the dance floor full and did a great job at reading the crowd on what music to play. I would definitely work with Wilson Stevens again and again! Christine C.

August 26th, 2023 Wandby Landing Kennebunk, ME Have not stopped receiving compliments about how good the band was at our wedding. Wilson Stevens was incredibly easy to deal with leading up to our big day and the band itself delivered an absolutely epic performance. Would highly recommend! Ryan B.

August 12th, 2023 Private Residence Newport, RI Don’t think twice. Book them immediately. I don’t say this lightly. I am terrible at decision making. I will research for weeks, sometimes months, and then get overwhelmed by all the choices. When I spoke to Wilson Stevens, I thought they were too good to be true. They were professional, talented, and kind. I listened to dozens of bands, in person and online, but something drew me toward Wilson Stevens. I am also a singer, so I felt a huge pressure choosing a band. I cannot tell you how happy I am that we went with our gut and hired Wilson Stevens. They were with us every step of the way. Harriet M.

August 11th, 2023 Hotel 1620 Plymouth, MA If we could have imagined the perfect wedding reception... this was better! From start to finish, Wilson Stevens was the epitome of professionalism. From initial email communications to the sound at the ceremony, to the absolutely incredible performance at the reception, we couldn't have been happier. Our friends and family are still raving about the reception... when was the last time you heard guests at a wedding call for an encore?! Kelsey R.

August 6th, 2023 Gotham Hall New York, NY The professionalism from the back-of-the house staff to the band, was extraordinary. The band was simply spectacular. 3 outstanding vocalists, backed by 7 professional musicians. They could handle every song you would want to hear. Even though Wilson Stevens is a Boston based company, they will have their bands travel. I'd put them up against any of the "big shot" NYC wedding bands. Lesley L.

July 8th, 2023 Wequassett Resort & Golf Club Harwich, MA We want to extend our heartfelt gratitude for your incredible performance on our wedding day, Saturday, July 8, 2023. Thanks to you and the band, our wedding was an absolute success, and we couldn't have asked for a more stellar event. From the moment we began planning our Cape Cod wedding from San Francisco, we were impressed by your professionalism and expertise. The months of research, vendor interviews, and backchanneling through wedding industry contacts led us to you, and we were absolutely thrilled when we secured your services. Throughout the planning process, Tim, Cheryl, and Emily's guidance put us at ease, and we could fully enjoy our entire wedding week, which was an invaluable gift. James and Jacqueline M.

July 1st, 2023 Ocean Cliff Hotel & Resort Newport, RI The band was polished, professional, and fun to be around. All of our dealings with Wilson Stevens were prompt, straightforward, and made the process as easy as possible. I will be forever grateful for you, the musicians and the management.

Thank you again!

December 3rd, 2022 Fairmont Copley Plaza Hotel Boston, MA I had a wonderful experience working with Wilson Stevens. So happy we hired you. You were always super quick to respond to any of my needs, emails or phone calls. And the band…what can I say...they were amazing!
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!!!!

October 29th, 2022 Blithewold Mansion Bristol, RI Over a year later, people still come up to Nicole and I to tell us how amazing the band was at our reception!!
