The Connection

Hi Cheryl,

Thank you for encouraging us to hire The Connection for our daughter, Shira Gladstone’s wedding to Brian Boutiette. Everything you did was superb, from all the planning, to the piano background music during the cocktail hour to the ceremony music to the reception! The individual members of the band were exceptional on their own and masterful together. Everyone told us how they enjoyed the music! We especially loved when the band members interacted with those who remained later in the evening.

This band was just perfect! Thank you!

Hi Cheryl,

The Connection was truly outstanding!! A great time was had by literally all!

Thanks you so much for everything:)

Hi Emily, I wanted to send a huge thank you to you and The Connection who played for our daughter’s wedding this Saturday at The Cliff House. It was an incredible performance – the dance floor was packed the entire night and the energy they brought made it an unforgettable celebration. Their interaction with the crowd and the fun music; they really made the night come alive. Our guests are still talking about how amazing they were – many said they were the best band they’ve ever heard at a wedding. They truly made the night so special and we couldn’t be happier with the experience.

Thank you!!!

Hi Emily,

I hope you’re doing well!

I just wanted to reach out and say a HUGE thank you again for the incredible performance by The Connection at our wedding. Everyone was absolutely raving about the music, the vocals, and the overall experience. You truly made the evening unforgettable!

Thanks so much for everything last year and for making our celebration so memorable!

Wilson Steven’s band The Connection played our August wedding. They covered all ceremony music, cocktail hour music as well as the entire reception. From start to finish the MC, the band and all aspects of the music were phenomenal. Our guests were blown away! From making sure the music kept guests out of their seats and on the dance floor, to the selection of songs they melded together for us, we cannot recommend this band in enough words. Our wedding day with The Connection was both amazing, and magical. Thank you so much Wilson Stevens for the wedding of a lifetime!

Hi Katlin,

I wanted to reach out to you personally to let you know what a great job your band did Saturday for Storey and Jon’s wedding.

Your tech team arrived early to make sure everything went smoothly. Your crew was right there making sure everything was ready to go. They did not miss a cue and the entire band were great!! The Connection sounded amazing and had the crowd going the entire night.

Thank you for everything. Truly, a GREAT time was had by all.

We had The Connection at our wedding and they were incredible! Everyone commented about how amazing they were and how great they sounded.

Thank you!!

Everyone from age 3 to 83 had a truly wonderful time celebrating with The Connection. Our family & friends are still raving about them. We may have to do it again next year. Thank You so much to everyone involved at WS for helping us celebrate life!

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!

Hi Katlin,

Thank you for everything. We absolutely LOVED The Connection at our wedding. Truly, they made our celebration so so much fun!!!! 

Thanks again!

This was a truly over the top experience and the best vendor decision we made. The feedback from our guests was unanimous and so many people have asked for the bands info since our wedding. Thank you to all in The Connection and WS!!

Hey Katlin, 

I wanted to thank you and the entire team from WS & The Connection for being part of Gaby and Matt’s wedding this past weekend.You kept the dance floor moving and everyone was complimenting the entire band.

I look forward to working with you again soon!

Justin!! What a wedding!! I am still flying sky high and just wanted to thank you and The Connection for being such an amazing part of the best. day. ever. You guys rock!

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!

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!

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!!!

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.

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!

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!!

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!!!

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!!

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.

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!

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 🙂

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!! 

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!!

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.

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!

Justin!

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

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.

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!

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!

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.

The Connection are incredibly talented, energetic fun artists! INCREDIBLE.

THANK YOU!!

The connection far exceeded all expectations and made our celebration so special and fun. All of our guests would not stop talking about how incredible the band was and the dance floor was packed all night – so big thanks to you and your team at WS!

The band did a phenomenal job, our guests are still raving about them. They especially loved when the artists would go out into the crowd. Chels and I were really happy with The Connection.

Thanks for all your help and for being so accommodating throughout the planning process over the past year. WS was undoubtedly the easiest vendor to work with.

So many people said this was the best wedding band that they have heard!! Made our night SO much fun!!

I can’t thank you all enough:)

Hi Katlin!

We had a fabulous wedding many thanks to the Connection!! Our guests were just raving about them. Thanks for all of your help and preparation for our wedding.

Hi there! I wanted to send a quick but BIG thank you for an absolutely incredible performance on Saturday. I can’t tell you how many people came up to me saying it was the best wedding band they have ever heard. A band can make or break a party – and The Connection helped make this the best night of our lives. I hope you had as much fun as we did.

Thank you so much – enjoy the holiday season!!

Our wedding was truly incredible thanks to The Connection they made our wedding unforgettable. The music was top notch and for weeks after people could not stop complimenting how amazing our band was!! Thank you so much!

Nothing but fantastic! I can’t thank you enough for everything your company did to make our Gala a huge success. You were beyond phenomenal and I would highly recommend The Connection to anyone

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!!!

AMAZING! I cannot say enough good things. You answered all of our questions and helped us work through any issues we may of had. We loved everything about The Connection. Our guests are still talking about how good the band was. Our dance floor was packed all night long. A very good mix of old and new. Absolutely unbelievable. We had the best time, and all of our family and friends are still talking about how fun the wedding was. It was truly the best night of our lives. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!

We couldn’t have been happier that The Connection was part of our wedding day — from start to finish, the whole Wilson stevens crew was incredibly easy to work with, communicative, and professional. Night of, the enthusiasm and talent the band brought were amazing!! We’re still getting compliments from our guests even after the weekend is over!!

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.

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 😉

The band was phenomenal!! They interacted with the guests and the dance floor was full all night. Everyone commented on how great the band “The Connection” was. Wonderful band for our wedding, We would recommend them to everyone! They topped off the event perfectly!

Just wanted to reach out and say thank you so much for making our wedding day special. Everyone, including myself, LOOOVED the connection. That’s all I heard all night.
