The Boston Premier Band has been part of some amazing weddings throughout Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut. There's nothing that makes us happier than to celebrate one of life's most significant moments with special couples like you. Over the many years we have been performing at weddings, we’ve developed the perfect wedding timeline with a signature style that newly engaged couples continuously hire us for.
Planning a wedding is a big deal, and it's unlike any other party you've hosted before. While some presume a fantastic wedding reception happens by chance, we know all too well that the best celebrations are carefully planned and crafted.
Boston Premier has a dedicated coordinator that works closely with our couples to ensure they experience the celebration of their dreams!
It takes a special team of professional musicians to be the very best in the wedding entertainment business. We are a group of close musical friends that are energetic, creative, polished, and fun – and we want nothing more than to give our couples the best day of their lives.
Performing in Boston Premier is not something we do just for a paycheck. It's part of who we are, it's our chosen profession, and we're very proud of that.
This is your day - your special moment in time, and we're the wedding band that will give you the musical experience you want! No matter if you are holding your wedding in Boston, Newport, or Hartford, rest assured in knowing that we will be with you every step of the way in creating an unforgettable wedding celebration for you, your family, and your friends.
Most couples we speak with have never hired a band before, so we're sure you must have a few questions about the band and our processes. Feel free to reach out if you have any additional questions that need answering.
Sure! Occasionally, our clients will have a "must play" song or two not in our repertoire. As long as the song request is within the band's instrumentation capabilities and general style, we'll be happy to learn it. We must receive your song request at least six weeks prior to the date of your engagement to prepare the song for performance adequately.
Yes! We have a very well-organized planning process that we will go through together. Weeks before the event, our coordinator will collect all of the necessary information we'll need to orchestrate your event. We want you to enjoy every moment with your family and friends on your special day. The band will take care of it all, getting everyone in order and lined up, announcing the wedding party, and guiding you through each segment of the reception.
Typically, the band's sound engineer and manager will be the first to arrive on-site to set up the majority of the equipment (speakers, wiring, mics, and lighting). The musicians and vocalists will report shortly after to get their instruments, monitors, and amps ready for the event. We will have everything set up with cases put away before any of your guests arrive.
Yes! If the party is going strong and you feel you would like to extend the reception by an hour, we will be happy to accommodate your request. Our overtime rates vary according to the size band you reserve. The rates will be listed in the performance agreement. Please keep in mind the band may need a 15-minute break before the additional hour begins. Our DJ will "spin" while the band is off.
We can supply an 18 piece up-lighting package for the ballroom. We can also provide two confetti cannons that will shower your guests with a blast of confetti at the end of the final song of the night.
Yes. We carry a general liability insurance plan. A certificate of insurance (COI) can be made available if required by your venue.
Absolutely. Having guests join the band creates the best memories!
6-piece: 2 vocalists, guitar, keyboards, bass, and drums
7-piece: 2 vocalists, guitar, keyboards, bass, drums, and sax
9-piece: 2 vocalists, guitar, keyboards, bass, drums, sax, trumpet, and trombone
Boston Premier does not require a stage. However, raising the band on a stage is a nice touch, and does give the band a bit more visual presence. If you decide to rent a stage, the recommended size is 12′ deep by 16′ wide for the six and seven-piece bands. If possible, the nine-piece band should really have a 12' x 24' stage.
