Encore

Good Morning Katlin,

I just wanted to reach out with my sincerest gratitude to you and to Encore. The band members were incredible and made our wedding beyond fun! So many people said that it was the best wedding band they had ever seen!!! From the Hora dance, to the Bruno Mars dance/scream off, to Benny and the Tretts remake, letting me scream my heart out while singing Mr Brightside… the list goes on and on! Every single person had the best night – and Encore was instrumental in that (pun intended)! Not only did you make the process on the day of the wedding so easy, but you made the 3 year process feel like a breeze. After working with us to push back our wedding date by one year due to Covid, I have become incredibly grateful for all of you.

Thank you again from the bottom of my heart!

With Love,

The Newlyweds

Encore was AMAZING! We really appreciate all your help and will be recommending you to anyone and everyone!

Hi Tim,

I just wanted to let you know that we had the BEST time at our wedding on Friday night. Encore was amazing and every guest was commenting on how great they are. They are all fantastic musicians, so talented, and so much fun!! They brought so much energy to the dance floor, I can’t imagine our night without them. Our friends and family are still talking about them and will be for a long time!

Thanks again for everything!

We absolutely loved the Encore band, they did a phenomenal job! Have had multiple people asking for their information to potentially book them for future events! Thank you so much!

I wanted to again THANK YOU for a wonderful event together for Liz & Derek. I so appreciate all the help you were in this process. From the emails through the day of, the band made it easy to make the weekend that much more special for this sweet couple. Everyone had such a fun time with them!

I look forward to working with you again soon.

Hi Cheryl,  We can’t say enough about Encore at our son’s 12/31 wedding event! You folks are absolutely incredible! What is the best way for us to leave a comment about our experience with Encore and Wilson Stevens in general?

Thanks again for everything!

Hi Katlin,

We wanted to circle back and let you know how thrilled and blown away we were by the band, the staff, and our entire experience with Wilson Stevens. Encore was spectacular for our daughters wedding. The energy in the room was perfect, the music excellent, the voices superb. Wow!

All our dealings with you from the 1st call were so easy and professional. Our guest were equally stunned at how terrific the band was. Encore truly made the night a hit.

Thank you!!!!

Just want to let you know that our daughter and now son-in-law were married last evening at the above mentioned venue and all I heard (as the bride’s mom) was how fabulous the band Encore was. I could not agree more! The band members could not have been more receptive and accommodating and polite and kind, and just overall great to work with. Not only were they fantastic musicians, playing all kinds of music but very polite individuals. I cannot say enough about this band – if there’s any doubt in anyone’s mind as to hiring them for their function, put your mind at rest, you’ll have the BEST with this band. We made an excellent choice hiring them. The dance floor was full to capacity (with a 225 guest wedding), all night! Thank you to ALL of them. You guys are just great.

Thank you SO much for executing the perfect evening for me and Pat. Everyone was raving about Encore and how awesome the tent looked. It was so perfect and I cannot thank you all enough for all of your efforts. Our photographer has already asked for the band’s information to recommend them to another couple.

THANK YOU AGAIN!!

Hi Tim!

I just wanted to send a quick email and say just how much we loved Encore and Fantasia Strings. I have to tell you that all night guests kept coming up to me and commenting on how great Encore was! One of my friend’s moms even asked for their information and if they travel to NY for her son’s wedding! We are so pleased and honestly this was the best wedding band! The DJ was also great! I know I have mentioned just how nice and easy your company was to work with before and I really do just want to mention how great Katlin is.  Very sweet, prompt to reply and very on the mark. Thank you so much in helping to create such a great night for us. It was perfect!

Thanks again, Encore was SO great!! Everyone danced all night  & they were so high energy. I cried when it was over 🙂 haha thank you for everything!

We had Encore play at our wedding and I couldn’t recommend them more! They had the dance floor packed all night and Wilson Stevens was such a pleasure to work with leading up to the wedding.

At one point during the reception, I was very eager to get the dance floor going and knew we still needed to have the MOH and BM speeches. The band lead came out from his break to help to introduce them so that we could get the party started as soon as their break was done (they only take two, short breaks the entire night). Thank you Encore for going above and beyond to help get the dance floor rocking!

I hope you are well! This is a bit delayed, but we wanted to reach out to say thank you to you and Encore for the most amazing experience. They absolutely made our wedding. We were married in September and everyone still talks and asks about our band! They were truly amazing –professional, fun, gracious, and super talented. We can’t thank you enough! Also wanted to share this picture that we got back from our photographer!

Thanks again for everything. We will definitely be recommending Wilson Stevens Productions and especially Encore to anyone who will listen!

From my initial inquiry to Encore’s performance, I couldn’t have picked a better company and band to perform at our wedding. Encore’s performance was top notch and they had the dance floor going all night. Our guests ranted and raved about the band and kept asking where we found them. They truly made our celebration memorable.

Also side note, we LOVED the Showcase Wilson Stevens put on at the Seaport last winter!

Encore,

Thank you all for playing such an important role in making our wedding so special! You are all incredibly talented and really know how to bring the party! We are so thankful and how special to include my sister! Thank you for making our wedding so much fun!

Hey all,

Thanks to your Katlin, and Encore of course, for being the greatest wedding band we could have asked for!!! So many positive comments from friends and family about you all. Great healthy mix of oldies and modern stuff for all crowds. We danced the whole night, ripped dresses, broke shoes, and destroyed feet— huge signs of music SUCCESS!

Thanks again for making this night so special! Music is one of most important things for me and you guys slayed.

Hi Katlin,

Just want to send a thank you to the Encore band – they were absolutely unbelievable and surpassed any and all expectations!!! We loved them and everyone was talking about how amazing they were (and still are). They got into the crowd and were the life of the party!!! Thank you again!

The band was absolutely amazing! Had all my guest up dancing! I got so many compliments after the wedding! Just WONDERFUL! Thank you Encore!!

Overall from start to finish working with Wilson Stevens was extremely easy. Everything was done in a professional manner and we were updated and followed up with through out the year before our wedding. ENCORE was excellent – all of our guests commented on how great the band was. They were energetic, got the crowd going and they played exactly the right music. I would recommend them for any event!

Encore delivered the best music ever for our daughter’s wedding! We are still receiving compliments about the wedding…especially the music!! All the band members were very professional, talented, upbeat and fun!!! Look no further….this is your band!!!!! Book them…NOW!

I wanted to send a BIG thank you to Encore for making our wedding night!! We were so blown away by their talent and energy, and felt so lucky to have them play for our wedding! We hope they had just as much fun as we did. I have heard from over a dozen guests as well who said Encore was hands down not only the best wedding band they have ever heard, but one of the best live bands they’ve ever heard. Jake and I couldn’t agree more – they were absolutely fantastic. Thank you again, and a big thank you to Adam for the ceremony music!! 

We can’t wait to continue recommending to our friends for any and every event in the future.

Hi Tim,

I just wanted to follow up with you to let you know we had an AMAZING time with Encore. Everyone absolutely loved it was a pleasure to meet every single band member.

If there’s anything we can do to offer a positive review please let us know. We will share the contact info with anyone looking for a band and again thank you for being a part of our celebration.

Best,

Chris

Encore performed at our wedding on June 30th. They played alongside a Greek band at the Four Seasons. They were absolutely AMAZING! Encore was full of energy, had the entire room on the dance floor, was on the dance floor interacting with guests and ensured that everyone had a fabulous time! They were even bopping along to the Greek music when the DJ was playing and a few of them even joined guests on the dance floor to partake in some Greek dancing. They were absolutely fabulous and made our wedding an absolutely amazing party! I fully recommend them and would hire them again in a heartbeat. We loved them as did our guests. Thank you for making our wedding the most fun and memorable experience possible!

I just wanted to comment on what a fantastic job Encore did at my daughters wedding a few weeks ago. I have gotten so many compliments during and after the wedding of people that were just blown away by their performance. I personally Encore was one of our very best investments as they really rocked the house and every person was dancing the entire time they were on stage!…..truly great job!! Thank you

Justin & Katlin,

Thank you to you both and Encore for one insane wedding. Encore seriously rocked it – They did this one song, I think it was Havana, and then they morphed it into something else, but it’s STILL in my head. When I say they were off the charts, I mean it! So, so good!!!

You are always a fabulous partner…thank you again!!

There is nothing like a live band and this band sounded amazing. Encore was fabulous, we loved them..Everyone loved them!!!The dance floor was packed all night. With so many choices to make when planning a wedding, deciding on Encore was one of our best decisions. Thanks as well for accommodating the special requests.

As usual, Encore made our client extremely happy. Katlin and all the folks at WS are very helpful and on top of it. Thank you!

To be honest, I never saw Encore perform live before our wedding. Wilson Stevens was recommended so I decided to wing it. They blew my expectations out of the water. They had our 170 person wedding singing, dancing, sweating, twisting and shouting all night long. Everyone is still talking about them. I can’t say enough about this group! Thank you Encore!

Encore truly set the tone for the celebration throughout the afternoon and evening. I can’t say enough about Encore’s performance and value — the band’s versatility provided music in three different spaces we used at the wedding venue. The keyboardist’s jazz added elegance to the cocktail hour in the gardens, while the instrumental trio who came out to the Carriage House offered delightful background music during dinner. But the party really kicked off when the full band came together under the tent and filled the dance floor until the last call.  All night long, guests were beaming and singing Encore’s praises — they especially were blown away when the vocalists joined everyone on the dance floor!  

I will be sending an email in the future about the experience, but in summary, Encore was one of the BEST decisions we made for our wedding. They were amazing!

To the entire Wilson Stevens team,

Thank you all so much for your professionalism leading up to our wedding and for making our wedding so entertaining. We’ve received so many compliments about Encore and we are so thankful!

Thanks again!

Encore was amazing. They were exemplary professionals. Even though the power went out for 20 minutes, they kept the energy of the party going (playing acoustic, leading “sing-alongs” with popular songs) and it made for a really memorable experience. They also didn’t take a break to make up for the lost time, even though they kept playing. We would recommend them to friends in an instant.

Amazing!  Our wedding was perfect and Encore was a huge part of that! We can’t thank you enough.

Performance Review:

1) Quality of Music: Excellent. GREAT music. Great sound. Everything was perfect! All the musicians and vocals were fantastic! Super talented group!

2) Choice of Music: Excellent. We let Encore read our crowd and play what they thought was appropriate and they completely rocked it!! The dance floor was packed all night and everyone had a blast! I’ve had numerous guests come up to us during and after the reception telling us how much fun they were having because of the band!

3) Grooming & Attire: Excellent. Encore looked great!

4) Emceeing: Excellent. Quiana from Encore was great! She was flawless with all the announcements and did a great job keeping all the events of the reception flowing! Super nice and energetic! Couldn’t have asked for more!

5) Break Schedule: Excellent. Not sure how many breaks were taken, but I felt like they were up there for most of the night.

6) Use Wilson Stevens again? Yes. Super easy communication from the very beginning. Dealt with one person, Justin, from beginning to end and he was extremely easy to get in touch with and very accommodating. He answered all my questions and gave me very honest answers to help me feel confident about my decision to hire my wedding band. Super convenient conducting business with Wilson Stevens. Everything went smoothly!

7) Use artist again?: Yes. Very convenient talking with Encore and their client liaison, Katlin through emails and on the phone. She answered all of my questions in a prompt manner and discussed all the details of our first dance, groom/mother dance, and bride/father dance songs. She was very organized. She listened to all our requests and executed them perfectly during the reception!

I can never have enough words to describe how special Encore made our wedding. It was an unforgettable night!

The cocktail hour music with sax/piano duet was perfect. The music during dinner was also wonderful with great song selections, a lot of which were our favorites. But when the dance floor opened up and Encore got down to business, that’s when the night really got fun! They absolutely killed it! Never a dull moment as they had the dance floor packed all night with our guests singing, dancing, and jumping up and down all night. I love how they came off the stage to sing and dance with our guests on the dance floor! Extremely energetic and fun group of vocals! They even let my best man sing the final song on stage with them!

So many of my guests were asking me where I found them and telling me that it was the most fun they had dancing at a wedding! Hands down best band ever. We were so lucky to have booked them! Can’t wait to refer them to other weddings!

Good evening Katlin,

Thank you for all of your help in organizing Encore with us. They did a knock out, hands down, amazing job!  Our members said they were the best band they had ever heard!  One of our members had Encore play their daughter’s wedding at the club and we booked them shortly after the wedding because we thought they were the best band we had ever heard as well. Please pass along our compliments to them.

Thank you again!

It was a pleasure doing business with you again! I didn’t think another band could match the artists from my daughter’s wedding three years ago, but Encore was just as professional and entertaining for this second daughter’s wedding. Your bands really understand the guests’ dynamics and adapt to the groups. We’ve heard rave reviews and guests of all ages enjoyed the music and the interaction with the artists.

Thank you!!

The event was great and Encore was fantastic — everyone is raving about them and don’t be surprised if you get a call or two for them from some of our guests.

Thanks again,

I would never use another group or another company and I can confidently say that because I have two more daughters! There are truly no words for me to express how I feel about my ENTIRE experience with ENCORE and Wilson Stevens…just unsurpassed talent, professionalism

Thank you Encore, I couldn’t have asked for a better wedding band!

We got married last month at Linden Place in Rhode Island and booked ENCORE for our wedding. Let me just say, THEY ROCKED IT! Best wedding band hands down. We were absolutely thrilled with their performance. Our guests are STILL talking about how amazing they were. Talk aboutenergy…this band is electric. They played everything from motown to pop and even country (per our request). They were constantly out on our dance floor, rocking it, dancing with us, letting us take the mic. I’ve been to my fair share of weddings and I’ve never seen a wedding band like this. Their lead singer has such a soulful voice — we were blown away at everything she sang. We wanted our guests (young and old) to party and that’s exactly what they did. We had guests who literally didn’t step off the dance floor because the band was so good. We would recommend Encore over and over again.

There was not one complaint we had. Encore was amazing! Their song selection was perfect, they learned the song we requested and they brought so much fun energy! Literally the best wedding band we’ve ever heard!

Performance Review:

1) Quality of Music: Excellent. Encore was the best wedding band we’ve ever experienced!!!

Performance Review:

1) Quality of Music: Excellent. Great singers and musicians! Each song (new or old) sounded amazing!

2) Choice of Music: Excellent. Everyone was on the dance floor the whole night! Their music selection was perfect – slower songs during dinner/buffet and faster songs after dinner. They also read the crowd really well and played music that they knew everyone was going to dance to. No one wanted them to stop when the night was over!!

3) Grooming and Attire: Excellent.

4) Emceeing: Excellent. They were so professional and engaged even during the speeches.

5) Break Schedule: Excellent.

6) Use Wilson Stevens again? Yes.

7) Use artist again?: Yes.

I would highly recommend Encore to anyone for future weddings! They were extremely professional and friendly! We couldn’t have been happier with them!

We booked Encore through Wilson Stevens for our wedding this past weekend at the Ritz. Before we get to Encore (who KILLED it) I want to write a bit about Wilson Stevens. We worked with Justin and from the time of booking through the wedding itself we couldn’t have been more impressed. Justin was always attentive to our emails and ensured any questions we had were answered in a timely fashion. He was so easy to work with and we couldn’t have been more appreciative.

Encore – may be the best band in the city. We have been to numerous weddings and seen many of the Wilson Stevens bands and although they are all great, there is something special about Encore. Their passion and energy MADE our wedding. They were so engaging throughout the whole wedding and really made a point of ensuring they were on the dance floor with our guests for most of the night. We had so many people complimenting the band during the night and post wedding. We had a unique first dance song that we requested to be performed instrumental and not only did the band learn the song, they played it for us before our guests came in to ensure it was perfect.

Encore will always have a special place in our hearts and we are so grateful for the work they did during our wedding.

Hi Justin and Katlin,

I just wanted to let you know that Amanda and I had the time of our lives at our wedding last Saturday, and Encore was a huge part of making the night a success. We’ve received nothing but amazing remarks from guests. We made the best choice going with Encore. Thanks for all your help along the way.

When we get back, we’ll make sure to complete reviews so the band gets the recognition they deserve. In the meantime, please pass along our sincere appreciation to the band for making the night a huge hit!

Regards,

Encore was absolutely outstanding. Guests were up and dancing from the first song to the very end. Loved the band and wouldn’t hesitate to use them again.

This year’s holiday party went great! The sound for the speeches went well and Encore was, once again, amazing! Our group was very excited to have them back another year and they did not disappoint. Everyone had a blast.

I’ve truly enjoyed working with Wilson Stevens. The event would not have been a success without your team’s hard work! Thanks again and we look forward to working with you again in the future!

Have a wonderful holiday season,
