The Connection

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.

Hi Justin,

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

Thank you!

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

I am THRILLED that I chose The Connection to play at my wedding. Having a good band was a priority of mine and they totally exceeded my expectations. They were FUN and ENGAGING without being cheesy. Their dance moves were awesome 🙂 and they played my requested songs which was really fun. Thank you thank you to The Connection for being an absolute BLAST!

I cannot begin to thank Wilson Stevens enough for making our wedding day absolutely SPECTACULAR. It has always been my dream to have a band at my wedding day, and you all exceeded my expectations and then some. The Connection was amazing and did not miss a beat. My wedding guests can’t stop talking about the performance. My husband and I are beyond overjoyed at the outcome. You absolutely made our wedding day without a doubt. We want you to play at all our family events!! 🙂

The band was so interactive and personal! Everyone was engaged and the band kept up all night! Joey was awesome and The Connection outdid themselves!!! Super pleased!!!

We and all our guests were so thrilled with The Connection!! Thank you for making our day magical!

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

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

We couldn’t be happier… constant comments on the quality of band. The lead singers connected with the audience, you could tell they enjoy it, they were not just “doing a job”. If only I had a 5th daughter we could do it again! Thank you!

Tim and Katlin,

I want to thank you for such a wonderful event from The Connection and Fantasia Strings. The compliments we’ve received are amazing. The Connection exceeded all expectations. Fantasia Strings were incredible.
Please let them both know how wonderful they both were.

We wanted to extend a HUGE thank you for being so wonderful to work with. You and The Connection helped make the day more perfect than we could have ever imagined. The flow worked perfectly and transitioned nicely from the theater to the party downstairs in the lobby.It was so much fun following the band members downstairs & immediately opening up the dance floor.From that point until the end of the night, I don’t think TJ and I left the dance floor because we were having so much fun. We loved how interactive the band was – it was the best dance party! We had a number of our guests that came up to us and said that The Connection was the best wedding band they’ve ever seen.Not only did you guys do such a wonderful job performing, all of the band members were so sweet.

The Connection exceeded all expectations and was the highlight of our wedding reception! They were high energy, interacted with the crowd, and knew exactly what songs to play to get everyone on the dance floor. The dance floor was packed all night and our guests are still talking about how amazing the band was! Wish we could do it all over again!

Just wanted to thank you again for such an incredible night. So many people have told us this was the best wedding they have ever been to, and each time the band is one of the main reasons why! The Connection really killed it. Every song was fabulous, the guests were entertained and dancing all night!< I was also very happy with how me and Shea’s first dance turned out. We will always have that first dance as an incredible memory, so thank you! Thanks so much again!

Apologies on the delayed message here, we are just returning home from our little post-wedding Nantucket getaway. It gave us some time to reflect on everything, and we wanted to thank you, and the whole band again for all the hard work you guys put in at our wedding. You guys were ABSOLUTELY AMAZING…. you killed it all night long and kept that dance floor packed… people keep calling us and raving about how good the band was. The party most definitely wouldn’t have been the same without you guys. Just thought you should know that you were an absolute pleasure to work with. we will most definitely be recommending The Connection to friends in the future. Again, thank you so much…we are so grateful.

Let me just start by saying that we had never seen The Connection in person before our wedding day, nor had we met anyone in the band. All of our expectations were met and then some! Everyone’s first comment at our brunch the next day was, “That band! They were awesome, where did you find them?!” We asked for energy and boy did we get it. The dance floor was full the entire night and they nailed every song they played. We even asked them to learn a song for our first dance and it was so good we thought that it was a recording! The best part of our party was at the very end. The band called all of our guests to the dance floor and got us surrounded by love. They were absolutely everything we could have ever dreamed!

Their music made the wedding! I cannot thank you enough. WS was a pleasure to work with and my wedding would not have been the same without The Connection. Everyone kept asking me where I found them. The ceremony was perfect, the emceeing, the energy, everything!!

Katlin, thank you for an AWESOME night at my daughter’s wedding!  Your band made the wedding better than I ever imagined!  Wish we could do it again…I might have to become a wedding crasher!  I wanted to thank you and the rest of The Connection personally at the end of the night, but I was whisked away in the mass exodus, to catch the trolley!  You guys were stellar!

We were so so so so pleased with The Connection at the wedding. Everything was perfect from their load in to load out. They were extremely talented, approachable, fun, and just great humans – and exceptional performers too. We would hire them again in a heart beat for any event. Tell them I would give them my first born child for another show! The comments from our guests were overwhelmingly positive. “Best wedding band I’ve ever seen”… on and on. And they let us sing Wagon Wheel which was just so much fun and a great memory.

Thanks a million!

Every single guest who spoke with us told us that The Connection was the best wedding band they have ever heard. Because of the band, people told us our wedding was the best they had ever attended and some even said it was the best party – “hands down” – they have ever been to. Everybody was on their feet the entire night because the music was THAT good. Thank you for giving us a dream event!

Katlin,

We just wanted to say thank you so much for such a fantastic band performance this past weekend.  It was such an incredible day for us and the band was the hit of the reception!  All our guests loved the band and couldn’t stop raving about how great they were.  Thank you so much for orchestrating everything and making the reception stress-free for us, it truly meant a lot.  It was so special for us to have Ed sing our first dance song – we appreciate all the extra time and effort that went into rehearsing for that special part of our night!

It was such a pleasure working with you.  If there is anything we can do regarding referrals, please let us know as we would be more than happy to provide a glowing review.  Thank you, again, for absolutely everything you did for us to make everything so memorable.

I would recommend Wilson Stevens and the Connection to anybody. The Band was fantastic, everybody raved about them they had great energy and professional appearance. People would not get off the Dance Floor and they kept going full out. Great selection, played everything the people wanted. You are The BEST. 

It was a great experience. They say “THE BAND CAN MAKE OR BREAK A WEDDING’..well, these guys CRUSHED IT.

Our event encompassed guests ranging in age from early 20s – through their 70s and the dance floor was full the entire night. The selection of music by The Connection was fun and most definitely spanned the decades. There were no breaks which was so awesome as sometimes that breaks the momentum of the evening – this band just rocked through the entire event. We loved how members of the band joined guests on the dance floor.  We have never received so many compliments about the music at this annual alumni event – many asking the name of the band. We will most definitely be booking The Connection in the future.

I want to thank you so much for everything that you’ve done to make Sarah and Justin’s wedding a great success this past Saturday. Your music was phenomenal and it was an absolute pleasure to parter with such gifted professionals.

It is my hope to collaborate with The Connection in the future. Until then, I wish you the best in your endeavors.

10 out of 10. Kimberly and I thought the quality of the music was fantastic. 10 out of 10. We had many guests who mentioned to us that they loved the band. They certainly kept people dancing throughout the night. We would like to mention that the artist who sang our first dance song (which was learned specifically for our first dance), was excellent!

I hope you are having a great weekend. We just returned from our honeymoon, so please pardon the delay on this email – we are reaching out to offer a huge THANK YOU for throwing us the absolute best party of our wildest dreams!! We had an amazing time dancing and singing, and the band was beyond fantastic – people are still raving about The Connection and the professionalism of each band member several weeks later 😀 We so appreciate all of your efforts to ensure an over-the-top fun night that ran so smoothly. We only wish we could do it all over again!

The Connection was fantastic at our wedding. You all really connected with the crowd and exceeded our expectations (though we knew you were the best from the moment we heard you all at the WS showcase!). Our guests loved the performance and couldn’t say enough about how wonderful the band was. Beth danced the night away.

The Connection is ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL !! The band members are so incredibly talented and I just LOVE how their personalities shine through in all their songs. They were so engaging and each song was better than the next. The dance floor was packed from the minute dinner was over until the end of the wedding. In fact some guests never sat down. 

We chose the Connection because of the various genres of music they played. We wanted music from the 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s and top 40 but all in moderation. The Connection delivered just that and so much more. All age groups were on the dance floor all night having a blast. Not only would I highly recommend The Connection to future brides, but I’m sure all our guests have already spread the word, everyone loved them. 

Thank you, thank you, thank you to The Connection for making our wedding so special and one that our family and friends will remember for years to come.
