Beantown

Wow! What incredible musicians, singers and performers you have in this Amazing band.

Thank you for making an extremely different wedding incredibly memorable and enjoyable.

Best wishes, and say safe in this very trying time. Thank you all so much. Wilson Stevens/Beantown was wonderful to work with!

There aren’t enough words to thank you for such an amazing night!!!  Beantown was absolutely unbelievable! People are still talking about the awesome music and what a great time they had dancing!  We never could have imagined how much fun they would be!!  We wish we had another daughter just so we could have another Beantown wedding!

Anita – thank you for an amazing night! Beantown is the talk of the office this morning!

While I assume we’re too late to book you for 2020, we look forward to working with you again in the future. You guys rock!

Hi Justin and Anita,

Wow-we don’t know any better way to put it. We were absolutely blown away with Beantown; they exceeded all of our expectations (and then some). Our guests were absolutely raving about the music. They sounded great, thanks both to their talent and the expert work of the engineering crew. We’ve been to plenty of weddings with music that is poorly balanced or just too loud (not to mention less talented and less engaging) and the experience is night and day. Our guests who were seated could still carry on a conversation (without sacrificing volume on the dance floor)-not that it mattered, as the vast majority were on the dance floor all night (right until the lights came on).

To be frank, our one hesitation with booking Beantown was price; there are, of course, less expensive options both within and outside of the Wilson Stevens portfolio. But, we banked on the band being the one piece of the reception that was going to make or break the experience and weren’t disappointed. No one will remember the flowers or table cloths, but they will remember the music. Beantown and the crew were worth every penny (and then some).

Feel free to use any of our comments here in promotional efforts or in discussions with potential clients (we will also be adding reviews on The Knot, Boston Magazine Weddings, etc). We’re also happy to act as a reference if needed.

I can’t say how awesome Anita and all of Beantown were. They were great to work with. They accommodated a bride who wanted to sing a couple songs with them. They were absolutely a pleasure to work with and I would recommend them so highly to anyone who asked. I had guests that were just in shock because they felt like the band never stopped! That is wonderful to hear. Every single person I spoke to said that this was the most unbelievable band they had ever seen at a wedding. I have to agree. The dance floor was packed all night, which was all we wanted.

The music and performance were absolutely fabulous. Our guests were raving about the band. Beantown was definitely the highlight of our event and the best decision we made (together with the venue) while preparing for this wedding. Also liked the lighting provided by Kevin very much. Such nice touch during ceremony and reception. Thanks so much to everyone!

You were all amazing! You made my daughter’s wedding something that she and I will treasure forever!!! I bet you have been hearing that for years.

You are all amazing musicians. I haven’t played in 20 years now, but as a musician and having had a small wedding band for 15 years, I know what it takes to make it sound so good. The arrangements were spot on and each vocalist was better than the next. Everyone came up to me and said how Beantown was the best band they had ever seen!!!  🙂

Anita,

On behalf of all those who attended (and danced the night away) at the President’s Gala, thank you to Beantown for being our entertainment. There was no better choice for our event. The energy, the song selection, the participation, and the incredible talent of each and every member of the group helped the night to be a huge success. We knew you would would be great, but, the performance was absolutely extraordinary. With guests in attendance from their early 20s to their 80s, Beantown made it possible for everyone to be involved and to enjoy the good vibes coursing throughout MGM Springfield. And, you personally letting President Cooper join you at your drums is a moment I’ll remember for a long time.

Thanks for being part of our event!

I wanted to thank you for a great night, I’ve been at 3 weddings including ours with Beantown and outside of these events Ive never seen a dance floor completely full and everyone dancing from start to finish. I believe that’s what makes a great wedding you are all great performers and I would recommend your band to anyone…Great performance with a lot of energy.

Id like to share this, whats the best way to share my review?

Thank you again!

Wilson Stevens & Beantown were the absolute BEST choice for our special day! Anita, and the whole crew were absolutely amazing! Our wedding guests haven’t stopped raving about how unbelievable Beantown was!! I will absolutely be recommending Beantown to anyone who asks for wedding band recommendations, if I could do it all over again, Beantown would be our #1 choice without a doubt!!!!

Fabulous! Can’t say enough. Everyone complimented Beantown and said they were wonderful. It was a pleasure to work with your business. You answered all my questions and emails in a timely manner and I truly appreciated it. Everyone was kind and helpful. Anita from Beantown was wonderful. She was patient and worked with Joe and Christina. Couldn’t have asked for more. Very happy.

Hi Anita,

Wow, I don’t even know where to begin.  Thank you so unbelievably much!!! That was Cody and I’s dream come true for our wedding. You guys rocked and kept everyone on their feet all night!  From the awesome intros, to the special tribute song you learned, to pulling off a super fun first dance!  We had an absolute blast and I can not thank you guys enough 🙂

I don’t think our guests will ever stop talking about how much fun they had and that is major thanks to Beantown!

Thanks times a million!

Having a great band made our wedding so fun and memorable. We loved every minute of it! Thank you!

Hi All – I just want to thank you for a truly amazing night this past Sunday at Gurney’s. Beantown is the best!!! You all are so incredibly talented and you really made the night. You had everyone up and dancing the whole time and the energy level was outstanding. And your voices!!!! And I live how interactive you are with all our guests.

I can’t thank you enough. Everyone was talking about how fabulous you all were. A+++++++++

Thank you again.

It was the most unbelievable night of all of our lives. Made everyone dance of all ages. Lit up the room all night long. Love Beantown and am sooooooo happy!!!! Thank you!

We enjoyed working with Wilson Stevens and especially enjoyed hearing Beantown play at our event. All guests enjoyed the band and commented how great they are.

Thank you!

Couldn’t have been better! Everyone danced all night. Many thanks to Beantown for making Erica and Ethan’s wedding magical. We couldn’t be happier!

We are almost one month since our wedding and not a day goes by where we don’t think about the dance floor/Beantown OR someone tells us how it was the best wedding they’ve ever been to. You guys were a HUGE part of that and we THANK you SO much for everything. I would do ANYTHING to relive that night over and over and over again. You all are phenomenal. I hope someday VERY soon to attend a wedding or event with you guys performing. YOU took the roof off the tent.

Two out of Two weddings have been Beantown for our family. All our guests say its the best band they’ve seen at a wedding!

Dear Anita, Kevin, & Beantown Band,

We would like to thank you for providing entertainment for our Dinner and Dance Function in Washington, D.C. Everyone was blown away at how talented the members of the band were and really enjoyed dancing the night away! It was a pleasure partnering with you to make our event a success.

Thank you again for all you did to entertain us. We really appreciate it and hope to work with you again in the future.

Beantown made the entire night!! They were just beyond amazing! Ceremony music was so beautiful, I was not only in tears from the joy of marrying my husband but in tears at how flawless vocal performance of “For Good.”

The reception was flawless. We are getting so many compliments about Beantown!! We spent the entire night on the dance floor with them, I love how interactive they were with us and the guests too!! Hands down, no questions, best part of our wedding was Beantown, they killed it!!

Thank you all!

You are all AMAZING and everyone loved you:) We even had wedding crashers flooding in to listen to your music. Thank you and talk soon!

LOVE LOVE LOVE these people!!!! They brought their talent to our daughters wedding and catapulted the party beyond everyone’s expectations. Ripped pants, pure fun, perfect music and an incredible sunset makes for a magical evening. Thank you so very much cheers to you all, Beantown. We may have contracted you, but you were part of a greater plan, no doubt about it. We will be booking you again!

Anita, You and the Beantown band were just terrific! You have a wonderful sound, beautiful voices, and are full of energy!

It’s true when they say that the band makes the party — you definitely were the highlight!

We heard from so many guests, including some “music aficionados” what an amazing group you were!

As Gary and I told you, if you ever need a reference for someone to RAVE about your group, please feel free to give out our email and definitely send us a place to post a review.

We can’t thank you enough for everything!

Beantown was absolutely AMAZING! We could not have asked for anything better, they had everyone on the dance floor the whole night! We would have danced for another 4 hours ! Thank you!!!

Beantown Band played at our wedding and truly made it a night us and our guests will never forget! We received so many positive comments the day after the wedding and everyone was in awe at how great Beantown Band was. I’ve never seen a dance floor full from start to finish but it was impossible to leave. We worked with Anita leading up to the big day and she was awesome! She took all of the pre-wedding stress away and it was great knowing that one of the major pieces of the night wasn’t something we needed to worry about. Beantown Band is awesome and extremely talented! We hope to see them again soon!

Thank YOU ALL so much. There wasn’t a single person who didn’t mention how incredible Beantown was. It is a huge reason the night went as smoothly as it did. Many people inquired about who you are and plan to tell everyone they know how great you are.

Take care.

I could not have been happier with our wedding!!! Everyone keeps complimenting Beantown and how it was the best wedding they have been to! Thank you SO SO much for making our wedding an absolute dream!!

Beyond excellent. A friend had recommended Beantown. They blew us away — the sound and energy could not have been any better! Once they began playing, the dance floor was packed all night. I have never witnessed a wedding where the dance floor was still crowded after a 6 hour reception and when the last dance ended, everyone stayed on the dance floor, chanting, “One More Song!”

I loved working with Wilson Stevens and even more I loved dancing for hours to their amazing music. The bride and groom, their families, and all of their friends had an SO MUCH FUN! Thank you Tim. Thank you Anita. Thank you Beantown musicians. And thank you lighting and sound crew. Everything was FABULOUS!!!

What can I say? The event was awesome. Anita….My new BFF, was professional and superb! She had her finger on the pulse of the evening all night long. Everyone had a great time. I received so many emails and texts the next day….I could not keep up. It was just perfect. Beantown rocks….Thanks again.

Hi Anita,

Thank you SO MUCH for performing at our wedding this weekend. Beantown was a hit and I don’t think the dance floor was ever empty. You made the night and it was seriously so spectacular. This was the best wedding we’ve ever been to and that’s in large part due to how well you guys played. 

For any future weddings or parties, we will be sure to recommend you!!

Thank you and all of Beantown for bringing your great talent, your collective energy and passion and your endless warmth to help to catalyze a spectacular evening!

Gratitude and warmest regards.

Thank you Anita! Beantown was INCREDIBLE. Everyone was raving about the performance and you did an incredible job getting everyone on the dance floor all night.
Thanks again!!!!!

Last night was incredible and I have heard over and over and over again today that Beantown was the best band people have ever heard and you kept the party alive! And I must agree. 

Thank you for making my wedding dreams way better than any fairytale! And for letting me take the mic to break it down during This Is How We Do It, my friend got a video and it will probably be the second thing I post on my insta after a pic of me and jay together.

I am going to post a million amazing reviews for you when Jay and I return from our honeymoon.  And of course you will be my first recommendation to anyone planning a wedding!

We cannot express our thanks to Beantown for making our daughter’s wedding one of the most memorable days in our lives! You seriously outdid yourselves!!! I have NEVER been to any wedding where I loved EVERY SINGLE SONG that was played. Your ability to read the crowd and create a playlist is nothing short of perfection!

Anita, you were kind, caring and so helpful throughout the entire process. So many people came up to me and were so impressed that not only did we have a female drummer but that you were outstanding!!! The energy that filled the room was amazing! All the members of the band were so enthusiastic, fun and professional – and CUTE!!!! I can’t tell you how many of our guests came up to us after the wedding and raved about the music. 

There is absolutely nothing I would have changed – Beantown was hands down the best band ever!

Beantown was amazing! Our guests were up dancing all night and we truly felt as though we were at a concert all night long! Thank you for making an already perfect day ever more perfect!

We couldn’t have asked for a better musical group at our wedding. Beyond the extremely high calibre of music and performance, all of the Beantown musicians and crew were genuinely nice people. We had a chance to chat with them at the end of the night and they were all very charming and genuine. We were also very impressed by the lighting and sound quality. It added another level of energy to the dance floor.

Thank you so much for everything. You were so amazing. I am so sorry I didn’t get to thank you all at the end of the evening. We were blown away by Beantown. Everyone we spoke to last night and today could not stop talking about how great you were. I am so happy I was connected to you through my friend Mary Cormier who had you at her daughter Katies wedding in 2016. If she had not called me after hearing of my daughters engagement I would have likely delayed getting a band and would not have the pleasure of you at my own daughters wedding. Thank you so much. I look forward to being in attendance at a performance by Beantown hopefully sometime in the near future. We may just have to crash a few weddings if we find out where you are performing.

So happy you guys were able to come up to Vermont and share our day with us.  We had an absolute blast and our guests could not stop talking about how amazing Beantown is.  Seriously, you guys MADE the party and we hope you had fun!

Finn and I can not stop saying how much fun we had last night.  Thank you thank you thank you!!!! You guys rock.

Beantown played for our Daughter’s wedding and it was the best part, by far. They are the best band we had ever heard. We took a leap of faith and booked them sight unseen. Take a look on Youtube, it’s very accurate. They were very interactive with the crowed and created an atmosphere where we all felt like we stopped the world and got off. A celebration no-one will ever forget. I recommend them with everything I am. You won’t be disappointed.

Many people have said it was one of the best weddings they have ever been to! The music selection kept everyone on the dance floor…exactly what we were looking for. I don’t even recall the band taking a break and all band members looked great. Many people have said it was one of the best weddings they have ever been to! We love Beantown!!!

AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING! The highlight of my wedding. Everyone commented about how perfect Beantown was. We loved them. They went onto the dance floor with the guests and sang and gave the mic over. Wow! Seriously cannot say enough. So fun! The dance floor was packed the whole night!!!!

We all enjoyed having Beantown for a second Wedding. Or course many of the guests had never heard your band and were blown away! Beantown always goes above and beyond. Susan and I can’t wait to have another family “event” to include Beantown once again.

Awesome is an understatement. They had the guests up and dancing the entire night. Band members were incredibly friendly and worked the dance floor with precision and fun. Really and truly, BEANTOWN made our party unforgettable.

You guys are absolutely amazing. We based our wedding date on Beantown’s availability and you didn’t disappoint. I’m a firm believer that music has the ability to bring different groups of people together and Beantown does an exceptional job at it. Just let me know if you need a back up singer and I’ll give my two weeks notice at work!!!

Beantown made our wedding so special. They could read the crowd and created the positive, fun atmosphere we were after. If I didn’t marry my husband, I’d have married Beantown. Anita, Tim, and Cheryl were amazing to us. I wouldn’t change a thing. Music was one of the major components of our wedding that we valued. Every song was fun and sounded amazing. The timing was great. The mix of old and new kept everyone happy. They nailed it! It’s only been a few days since the wedding, and we already miss listening and dancing. Thank you for being such an amazing part of our special day.

Tim, I wanted to reach and personally thank you and Anita for making Morgan’s wedding perfect! Beantown was beyond outstanding! Everyone is praising them. Great Horse Country Club said they were the most professional, cooperative musicians they’ve worked with. You made the event a fantastic celebration of love.  I can’t thank you enough!!!!! 

We had a terrific experience with Wilson Stevens and Beantown from start to end. My brother had worked with Beantown at his wedding two summers ago, so we had high expectations based on past experience, which were fully met and exceeded! Thanks very much to Anita & the whole team.

We had two requests – no slow songs & we wanted a party – Beantown delivered! They did a wonderful job selecting the music & taking our requests but also reading the crowd at the same time. Beantown made our wedding! The music was wonderful – they listened to our requests & ensured everyone had an amazing time!

We would highly recommend them to others & our friends that have upcoming weddings are asking for their name already!

Once again, I want to thank you and the entire Beantown Family.  You helped make the celebration of my daughter and new son absolutely FABULOUS!!! You guys are so talented, professional, fun, well…. THE BEST!!!!! Now I have to figure out another reason to host a party where I can have you all join us. Safe travels and hope you had as much fun as we did.  Bless you all!

Beantown made my daughters wedding magical. I can’t tell you how much we appreciate Anita and the entire Band and Crew. We have another daughter and my twin brother has 2 daughters so at least 3 more times we will get to enjoy Beantown. My wife and I cannot thank you enough for everything.

Our guests still cannot stop talking about Beantown and how much fun they had at the wedding. The band did a great job selecting the songs for the wedding, our guests were on the dance-floor all night! Thank you so much for such an incredible night!!

I can tear up thinking about it; how amazing the band made our wedding. It was so much more than I could have imagined!! I am forever thankful to the folks at Wilson Stevens and every single person involved. I felt a little guilty splurging when we booked but thinking of the wedding now, it was worth every single cent!!! So much love for the entire Beantown group! Xoxo.

YOU ARE AMAZING, ALL OF YOU! I’m trying to figure out how we can have another event for you to play…Beantown has made our two weddings perfect. Thank you!

PS- I love Anita.

As always, Beantown was the best part of the evening!! We wouldn’t do this party without you. Everyone had a wonderful time and literally everyone was raving about the band. You guys are really something else!!

Beantown was fabulous Saturday night. They were spot on and everyone had a great time. Thanks for following the time schedule so the kitchen was happy and everything worked like clockwork. You did such a great job and I always enjoy working with you. 

Thanks again for giving the Gilson’s a night of fantastic entertainment that their guests will long remember.

Have a wonderful holiday season. 

All my best.

Anita was very easy to communicate with before, during, and after the wedding. She was clearly receptive to requests, honoring multiple songs to be learned, including my fathers during his speech. Beantown was able to provide a variety of music that catered to our wedding guests’ interests. All the music sounded top notch and I loved the personalized touch to each song to make it their own. I love to dance and was very into it that night (clearly!) but the artists commitment to getting guests involved was truly appreciated! If you ever want to perform for any of my future parties, you’re so invited!

Anita and Tim – how can we possibly thank you?! We had the most wonderful, magical, perfect night – thanks to Beantown. Everyone kept coming up to us saying how fantastic the band was. You absolutely made the night and we are forever grateful! Also Ariel had so much fun playing with you!

Anita – it was so nice working with you. I’ll send some pictures when we get back from our honeymoon.

Thanks again!

You are THE best band! You made the wedding such a great experience. The vocals were perfect and the band was on point and never missed a beat.

In short, Beantown made my wedding perfect. I would not change anything.

Beantown an outstanding band for our wedding. All of our guests loved them! Loved working with the band and Wilson Stevens and would pick them again in a second if we had another event!

Simply amazing; all around. I cannot recommend Beantown higher or enough. Anita and the whole gang was absolutely terrific!

Great experience from beginning to end. Working with Wilson Stevens and Beantown was a pleasure and they went above and beyond to make sure everything went perfectly. We would definitely use them again and will willingly recommend to anyone looking for live music.

Everything from songs to the sound to the lighting was so amazing! Not once was that dance floor empty… it was awesome. All your musicians are so talented and made eye contact and had fun with us. We barely sat down all night.

If our youngest gets married I only can hope to be able to book Beantown for them! Thank you a million times over for making their day so special and rocking out the Weekapaug Inn!

We were so impressed with how easy it was to work with Wilson Stevens and Beantown. Everyone bent over backwards to make our event a success, including learning new music and working with an outside vocalist. While we were simply impressed with the willingness to please, we were even more impressed with the execution. We could not have asked for more!

I cannot begin to express how much we enjoyed Beantown’s performance at our wedding on Friday. The band was everything we could have imagined and more. I cannot even count how many guests were raving about you and dancing the night away. Everyone was on the dance floor!!! We had the most incredible time and can’t wait to see you again (hopefully at Andrew’s younger brothers’ future weddings!)

Thank you for making our reception perfection!

Anita Connerty was GREAT to deal with. Very knowledgeable on all aspects, answered all questions, helped with music selection. The band, Beantown, was fantastic, the band members were wonderful- made the event fun. They couldn’t have been nicer!

Beantown was exceptional. Best band I have heard, bar none. The musicians are fantastic – all of them.
We will never forget this party – it was incredible!!!

Performance Review:

1) Quality of Music: Excellent. They were amazing performers. The singers, string instruments, keys, horns, percussion, etc. were all excellent. They put a nice twist on some popular songs, and were dialed in across the board.

2) Choice of Music: Excellent. Beantown played what we requested that they play, and filled in the rest with music that they knew the crowd would love.

3) Grooming & Attire: Excellent. Everyone looked great. From singers to technicians.

4) Emceeing: Excellent. Announcements were excellent, they interacted with the crowd who felt like they were “a part of” the performance. Crowds love that!!

5) Break Schedule: Excellent. Perfect timing and length. We have been at weddings where the break is at a critical time in the performance. Everything was discussed with us up front, and they stuck to the schedule perfectly.

6) Use Wilson Stevens again? Anita and Tim were the best vendor that we dealt with. Responses were prompt, accurate, and detailed.

7) Use artist again?: Yes.

This was by far the best vendor that we dealt with, not even close. All of our guests raved about Beantown over and over and over again. We could not have been happier. We came in with very high expectations, and Beantown far exceeded them!!

The talent, chemistry, personalities and energy that is expended during a Beantown performance is unbelievable. If you are not on the dance floor when the band is playing, it is because you are physically unable to do so. Spectacular… Usually, when someone is that good, they are not that nice. Not the case with Beantown. The best – case closed.

As expected, Beantown was extraordinary. From the first song to the last we felt ready to party. Guests were blown away…bet you hear that a lot 🙂

The best part, though, was that we felt totally integrated with you – as if you know us, love us, and like our guests were there to celebrate with us. It was a night full of music and emotion and joy. I truly wish I could find a more articulate way to say thank you.

Hoping somehow we can find a reason to host a party with you again in the future. Keep spreading your magic to the lucky couples who get to share their wedding days with you.

Hi Anita,

Everyone said Beantown was by far the best band they have ever heard! Thank you for everything!

I could not have asked for a better performance. You were all simply amazing!

Beantown was the best!! Everyone at the wedding was raving about them!! People are still commenting about how great they were! The dance floor was packed from the first song until the last song. I would highly recommend them. The wedding was a huge success and they were a major reason why. Everyone had a blast. Thank you!!

I cannot say enough AMAZING things about Beantown. Our priority for our wedding was to have a band that kept us up and dancing all night and Beantown far exceeded that expectation. It has been 2 weeks since the big day, and people are still raving about them (and I think they will for years to come). They blew us and all of our guests away!

From the start of the wedding, they had the entire crowd up on the dance floor. I saw relatives that I’ve never seen dance breaking it down!! The singers even came out into the crowd and let us sing. Every single musician is SO talented and they make you feel like celebrities all night.

I cannot gush enough about this band. If you are even considering them, DO IT!! You will not regret it and they will make your wedding the best night of your lives, as they did for us.

Beantown, I only wish I could tell all of you in person how special and instrumental you were in making our wedding so perfect. Keep doing what you are doing and I hope to see you again someday soon!!!

All the best and THANK YOU again,

Best band ever; that was all we heard the entire evening. Thank you Beantown!!

Anita,

I don’t know where to start!!

It’s the dream of every father to walk his daughter down the aisle, and give her an incredible wedding. From the first time I saw Beantown on the Internet I fell in love.

I was worried about not hearing the band and just booking it. It WAS the best decision of my life!!!!

You are an unbelievable person….you made the process so easy and you listened to everything we asked for. The band itself was phenomenal!!!!….flawless!!!

Every single person asked me where I found you…..told them I knew you for years!! My mom who is 88 even loved it. I told my wife we have to have another affair just to have you there!

Again, I can not say enough about you and Beantown!!!

Thank you so much for being a part of our wedding.

Anita,

I wanted to tell you how wonderful Beantown was.  The energy from your band as well as the crowd was amazing. So many people have told us how special the band was and we completely agree. The Finklers heard you play at a wedding they previously attended in Boston and they really pushed to hire you and I now see why; we couldn’t have asked for anything more!

We look forward to partying with you again at my niece’s wedding in September. Please express our exuberance and thank you to the entire band! The wedding was perfect!

Everyone thought Beantown was so great! Our band was the most important thing to us so we’re thrilled we were able to have you at the wedding. It made our day that much more special.

We have never heard a band that good. Beantown could not have been more perfect. Some of our friends commented that they felt like they were at a concert. The wedding overall was truly beautiful but the band is what everyone is talking about. We truly can’t rave enough. Not only was the music amazing but all the band members were really professional and kind. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you!

Wow – Beantown was awesome!

People are still talking – those that are not still napping from the exhilarating time on the dance floor. Perfect band for what I think was a perfect wedding.

Thank you and everyone from Beantown! If I can ever be a reference, just ask!

Thank you.

Beantown was amazing!! Everyone had nothing but great things to say about their performance. Tim at Wilson Stevens even accommodated several special requests (featured soloist performances and a dance group).

I am so happy I chose Beantown!

Hi Anita,

Thank you; you guys were amazing. Beantown made our evening, we got so many compliments!

Thank you!

Performance Review:

1) Quality of Music: Excellent. So good!

2) Choice of Music: Excellent. We didn’t want it to end!

3) Grooming and Attire: Excellent. Everyone looked marvelous.

4) Emceeing: Excellent. Don’t ever change a thing.

5) Break Schedule: Excellent. Worked for us.

6) Use Wilson Stevens again? Yes.

7) Use artist again?: Yes.

Beantown was incredible. We are so thankful that you performed at our wedding!

Beantown was perfect and made our day so special. They kept everyone on their feet the entire night and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Thank you again!!

Beantown is a well greased wheel, no need to improve a thing. Excellent company and artist!

Where do I begin with Beantown?! They are AMAZING! We booked them over a year ago for our wedding in Newport and I can honestly say it was one of the best decisions we made! From the beginning, Justin was so helpful with the entire booking process. He was prompt with responses, honest, and totally willing to work with what we wanted. As the event got closer, we had the pleasure of working with Anita, and she was awesome!

Leading up to our wedding, we only had the chance to listen to Beantown on the videos they have posted. Let me tell you, they don’t do this unbelievably talented group of musicians justice. When they started playing, our guests immediately hit the dance floor. They had everyone up and dancing for the whole entire night and by the end, we were begging them to play one more song!! It took about 5 days for my feet to stop hurting from dancing so much!!!! Since our wedding, countless guests have commented on how amazing the band was, and how they look forward to booking Beantown in the future. If you’re considering Beantown as your wedding band… stop considering and DO IT! You absolutely will not regret it.

Our staff always enjoys Beantown and has so much fun with the band! Thanks again.

Tim & Anita,

Words cannot begin to describe how wonderful our event was because of Wilson Stevens and Beantown, truly magnificent!

We ALL had the time of our lives and it is the constant talk around the property and elsewhere before you arrived, while you were here, and all day today. Your talent coupled with the fun energy that you have all is so impressive. You all complement each other so well and it made for a magical night. We had a few employees at the event who are handicapped in various ways and the attention that the performers paid to them was priceless and gave them memories to last a lifetime.

Please be sure to thank the band and crew for everything, their performance, their genuine friendliness; they are just terrific people.

And lastly, I lived my dream… I sang (even just a couple verses) on stage with BEANTOWN! Thank you!

I have heard nothing but the highest praise of Beantown from all of our guests! Everyone danced and danced and danced. It was just simply the most wonderful time with a very professional, talented, amazing band.Thank you Beantown!!!

Beantown was awesome once again!!! Everyone loved them!

Thank you,

Dear Anita, Tim, and all of Beantown,

How can we thank you enough for the huge role you had in making Hillary & Adam’s wedding such a fabulous, warm, wonderful rocking party? From the moment you started playing, the dance floor was jammed and it stayed that way all night. Thanks to all of you for the musical magic you make. It was a night to remember for everyone there.

Anita- special thanks to you for all your patience with our questions and requests and for encouraging Jennifer to play drums with the band!! She had a once-in-a-lifetime thrill she will never forget and she gave her sister (and the whole crowd) a wonderful surprise. It was a great “moment” and your encouragement gave her the courage to do it. And she loved every second of it.

Everyone who was there told us how they loved the band and we have to agree. You should know how grateful we are for all your efforts. We can’t wait for another opportunity to have a party and dance to Beantown again!!

All the best,

Our guests continue to tell us how amazing Beantown was and how it was their favorite part of the night! Thank you for a phenomenal performance and making our night so much fun and so memorable!!

2) Choice of Music: Excellent.

3) Grooming and Attire: Excellent. Everyone in the band looked lovely for our Black tie wedding.

4) Emceeing: Excellent. Anita did a great job, keeps the speaking to a minimum, is clear and articulate and very professional.

I gave them a list of songs that I wanted for the break and they downloaded them and played them during dinner, client was thrilled and I didn’t have to worry about retrieving an I pod at the end of the night. The dance floor was filled all night. ALL NIGHT.

I can’t imagine a better band for a wedding than Beantown! The dance floor was rocking’ all night long! Many, many guests made it a point to tell us how much they enjoyed the band. Thanks for making our daughter’s wedding everything we hoped it would be, and more!

We just loved Beantown!! They exceeded our expectations in every way. They were so interactive with the crowd and kept the dance floor packed all night! They were so personable and made everybody very comfortable dancing (and singing) the night away with them! Just the best!

Dear Anita,

I am still dancing to the Beantown beat. I had heard from Paula Marrero about you. I checked you out on your web site and listened to some stuff there. I immersed myself in your playlist. I opened my heart and check book to the band.

And still I HAD NO IDEA. Even now, I still HAVE NO IDEA how you do what you do and did what you did. I do know that everything else about the wedding was superfluous. All that was necessary was Beantown. Please convey to the musicians my deepest gratitude for your music and your elegance and your generous heart. You are the soundtrack of my new life now. Thank you for your most extraordinary gift.

With so much appreciation,

Beantown definitely lived up to our expectations!! Guests filled the dance floor from the very first dance and the non-stop music kept people dancing all night. We received so many positive comments. We just love Beantown!

People will not stop talking about you all and how it was the very best band they had ever heard!

Thank you again for EVERYTHING!!!

Anita and Tim,

What can I say; Beantown CRUSHED IT at Jackie and Chris’ wedding!!!! I know this because We could NOT stop everybody from coming up and raving about you guys:

“Best band I had ever heard, “unbelievable energy and sound”, ” I found myself standing there just watching them like a concert and then remembered that I was at a wedding and had to go talk to the other guests”, “I got their card!!!”- said by one guest who acted like he had just scored a Springsteen autograph 😉

We received a whole second dose of the above the day after during brunch, folks could NOT stop talking about Beantown. There were many sore bodies for the next two days from all of the dancing!

Thanks!!

Beantown and Wilson Stevens – thank you so much for making Jake and I’s wedding so special. It was the best night of our lives and it was predominately because of the music, dancing, and laughter out on the dance floor. You were absolutely amazing and everyone is still telling us how incredible the music was. Some of our family members who don’t normally dance were even out on the dance floor! We are especially glad that we added the ceremony music and the cocktail hour music. It was such a beautiful and special touch that made our night that much better, filled with music and singing! That was all we wanted for our wedding and Beantown absolutely NAILED IT!!! We cannot thank you enough!!!!

Wilson Stevens made the entire process to communicate seamless. Email and phone calls were used and all were answered promptly and efficiently.

I knew the Beantown was going to be great, but they exceeded my expectations on every level. Anita was so professional, talented and all of Beantown made the night fantastic. The dance floor was packed from beginning to end and they had all of guests begging for more. I have never attended a wedding that went so quickly, and I am so thankful to have hired Beantown.

Beantown is the best band I have hired or seen at any other event or wedding. I would hire them and them only from now on.

Beantown exceeded our expectations in every way. We have used Beantown 5 times and look forward to booking them again!!! Simply the best!! Thank you thank you!!

Unbelievable. Beantown is literally the best. The dance floor was ROCKING, the band ended up playing extra sets because no one wanted to stop dancing to eat, and no one wanted to leave at the end of the night (chanting “One more song!”) If I had a dollar for everyone who said the band was incredible, it was the best wedding band they had ever heard, etc.

Beantown also made my husband and I feel like rockstars, pulling us on stage — what a rush! Hands down, one of the best decisions we made regarding our wedding was hiring Beantown.

We were so looking forward to the Beantown band and they exceeded all our expectations. Great fun, great personalities & fabulous performances. Everyone from the road crew, to administration and artists were unbelievably fantastic. Wilson Stevens was prompt, polite and professional.

Choosing Beantown was the best choice we could of made… they’ll be talking about the band for years. Thanks again Tim and Anita!

Thank you for a wonderful time! Beantown was amazing and it was a great day!

As always, we love having Beantown at the Evening of Hope Gala. The guests had a great time and Beantown is a wonderful addition to this event. Looking forward to next year!

We were SO thrilled with Beantown and could not recommend them higher. They are the best band we have ever heard. It made our night, and each guest we spoke to talked about how great the band was!

Thank you so much!

Performance Review:

1) Quality of Music: Excellent. The music was outstanding – we cannot stop getting comments from people about how awesome you all were! I think the main comment was that this was the best band anyone has ever seen!

2) Choice of Music: Excellent. Music selection was great! I enjoyed the variations that were played – some oldies, 90s/2000s and pop! Every song that came on just got everyone going even more than the earlier one!

3) Grooming and Attire: Excellent. Everyone looked so professional and awesome!

4) Emceeing: Excellent. The band really helped shape our wedding and turn it into one of the best nights of our lives! This was all attributable to the band and the emceeing done to help make the transition between the reception formalities and dancing so smooth!

5) Break Schedule: Excellent. With one break schedule just to eat, I don’t know how anyone could ever complain! I don’t think anyone even knew they were gone, which was great! We had a ton of people come up to us asking if you ever took a break lol! Thanks for devoting all your time to the music and making the party come alive!

6) Use Wilson Stevens again? Yes. Anita was fantastic to work with throughout the whole planning process. She was so responsive to my emails and made the whole process easy for me.

7) Use artist again?: Yes.

Beantown Band was absolutely fantastic and blew every expectation I had out of the water! I don’t think I have ever been to a wedding where 1) people had to stand on the side of the dance floor because there was no more room for everyone to dance and 2) everyone stayed until the last song that was played. Tom and I literally cannot keep up with all the comments we have been getting from our guests about how great you all were! I think that is a true testament to your musical and performance abilities to generate such a response from hundreds of people. Tom and I are already planning our one year anniversary or our next party so we can hire you guys again lol! Thanks again for everything – you all really helped shape our wedding into one of the best days of our lives and we are so thankful for that! Depression mode has already kicked in but we just keep reliving Saturday and the amazing time us and our guests had!

We couldnt have been happier about hiring beantown, they made our wedding night a huge success! Such a nice bunch of people and what talented musicians! Everyone was raving about the music! Thank you for a great night!

I just wanted to take a moment to say wow! I can’t tell you the compliments we have received from every one of our guests regarding Beantown last evening. Your music and your performance was fabulous! As you could tell, we had a crowd that spanned the age gamut. You captured everyone’s attention and enjoyment.

We succeeded in what we had set out to accomplish which was a great meal, an awesome band and a wonderful party for our guests. Thank you for being part of it!

All my best,

Hello Anita & Tim,

I wanted to send a huge thank you to you and all of the Beantown members! You truly are an incredibly talented group of individuals. Thank you so much for putting on an amazing performance for our staff. They cannot stop talking about how much they enjoy you all and how much fun they had. You truly made it a wonderful night. I look forward to working with you in the future.

Thanks so much for everything!

All the best,

Beantown was AMAZING! All night, guests were coming up to us and saying, “Where did you find this band?” and “This is the best band we’ve ever heard!” Beantown got everyone dancing and having a wonderful time. Their incredible sound, perfect song selection, ability to involve guests, and dance moves were outstanding. We feel so lucky to have had Beantown at our wedding. To top it off, the band members were extremely kind and inclusive to my brother as they let him join them on the electric guitar for a few songs. That was so sweet and it meant a lot to my family. Thank you, Beantown, for being an amazing band and a kind group of people. A+!

Great musicians, really got the crowd rocking, got down on the dance floor and really made it special. Our guests, all 343 of them, danced all night long to Beantown. The dance floor was always packed.

The light show was also incredible, although we’ve had Beantown before, didn’t remember it being THAT COOL!
