Wedding band in Boston:
a Motown revue every generation knows

The best wedding band in Boston for a mixed-age room is one that plays a songbook every generation knows. The Velvelettes bring a staged Motown and soul revue: three voices, live horns, choreography and an MC, priced from $3,400 to $12,500.

We have played a Back Bay ballroom, a Seaport loft with the harbor behind the stage and a coastal estate up on the North Shore. Boston is a fly date from Detroit; we arrive the day before and walk the room that evening, because historic buildings reward a band that has already seen the staircase.

New England's wedding season is short and fierce; September and October Saturdays book 12 to 18 months out, and June is close behind. If your room has a neighborhood sound cutoff, tell us early and we will chart the night backward from it.

The advance, in plain terms

How a Boston date runs

Travel

Boston is a fly date. We arrive the day before and walk the room that evening, load-in route included.

Setup

90-minute setup, 30-minute soundcheck, two 20A circuits and about 16 by 12 ft of floor for The Revue.

Good to know

Historic rooms mean narrow doors, stair load-ins and early sound cutoffs. We advance the access route and end on time, on purpose.

Before you ask

Boston questions, answered

Is there a travel fee to Boston?

Yes. Boston sits beyond the 150-mile no-fee radius, so travel is quoted per date. Check availability with your date and the figure comes back alongside it.

Do you know Boston venues?

We advance every room with your venue contact and request the floor plan and power spec ahead of the date, along with the load-in route, which matters in buildings older than the songbook.

Do you play both weddings and corporate events in Boston?

Yes. New England gives us weddings through the season and corporate events in the city year round, one contract either way.

Everything else a host asks first lives on the FAQ page.
