Steve and his band are true professionals and even better musicians! Hiring Brandy Band to perform at our wedding was one of the best decisions we've ever made. Steve was easy to work with and incredibly professional from the booking to the creation of the song list. With of all their years of experience singing together, Steve was able to make suggestions for the reception that we never would have, and they turned out to make such a huge difference in how the night went.From the guitarist and vocals at the cocktail hour, to the introduction of the wedding party and keeping the dance floor packed all night long, Brandy Band was absolutely superb!

I offer the below as a first hand recap of my experience with the band, Brandy - in particular, the band's manager - Stephen. Stephen blatantly failed to honor our contract. In addition to telling us that we shouldn't have canceled our wedding & that we made the wrong decision (which is always nice to hear when you've had to cancel your wedding because of a global pandemic) - he claims Covid is not a real thing & "the truth will soon be revealed." I literally cannot make this up & would be happy to share additional detail if helpful.
This should serve as a warning to anyone considering working with Stephen ---- DO NOT. March 2020 - Original contact with the band/Stephen for our late August 2020 wedding. As covid had already exploded, part of our contract was a clause (exact text: "In the event the date needs to be rescheduled due to corona virus, the full deposit amount will be transferred to a new date in which the band is available.
If the Purchaser chooses a date that Brandy is not available, the full deposit ($2,000) will be refunded".) July 2020 - inform Stephen that we'll be unable to have our wedding in Aug 2020 & that it's been rescheduled to the same weekend in 2021. Stephen sends a new contract omitting our covid clause AND upping the price of the performance!
After many back & forths - Stephen finally agrees to stand up to what the contract says & rescheduled the performance for the agreed upon price, WITH the covid clause. painful. Late Feb 2021 - We write & call to inform Stephen that due to Covid uncertainty - we will be canceling our plans for August 2021 & will be having a small family only mini-wedding in Boston in March.
Due to this - I ask for our deposit back. -- Stephen claims that we're not due the deposit back because we picked a date that they cannot perform. The reason they could not perform was because the Massachusetts State Govt was not allowing more than 10 people to gather indoors, nor permitting any live music performances at the time (mid March 2020). -- Stephen also calls our original venue behind our back to check if we really cancelled. -- Stephen claims we're "using covid as an excuse to get a refund." -- Stephen claims that WE are breaching the contract. -- Stephen asks us to change our wedding day. literally, he says we should have the wedding in May since that's when indoor venues can open & this way they can perform. ***note; I would be happy to share these emails with anyone. you literally cannot make this stuff up! March 17 - We finally get $1500 of the $2000 deposit back.
Note the 1 month turn around, and likely ~ 5 hours in total arguing on the phone with him.painful. -- Stephen claims: - No other weddings canceled - People have 'the time of their life not wearing masks & feeling free." - That we 'jumped the gun on canceling our wedding' - 'All of the corruption going on will be revealed and the truth will come out" I'll leave it to you to form your own conclusion - but if you can. RUN.It's a shame because the band looks great (.unfortunately it wouldn't surprise me if the band doesn't even know this saga existed). Fortunately this is the ONLY $ we lost on the wedding.
I say that only to highlight the fact of how great everyone else was to work with & how immediately they offered to refund given the unprecedented times (our venue even encouraged Stephen to do the same!).Poor form, Stephen. Poor form.

The Brandy Band did a great job at entertaining the guests at our wedding. The dance floor was packed most of the night. The manager Steve was great to work with. He was very friendly, professional, and helped answer all of our questions. I'm also grateful that he told us people usually love the Hava Nagila song regardless of their faith - that song was incredibly fun and practically every guest was up dancing!
The band made our wedding incredible and we would suggest the Brandy Band to anybody planning a wedding. People are still talking about how great the band was. They are totally worth it!

Brandy Band played our wedding at the Essex Conference Center & Retreat in September and they were amazing! I will be honest and say I was really pushing for a DJ to save money on the wedding but my husband insisted we have a band and I'm so glad he did! Aside from how happy they were for us, the number one thing that people said to me the day of the wedding was "the band you hired is amazing!" They were incredibly professional, kept the reception flowing properly and got everyone dancing all night. I really can only think of positive things to say!

Simply the best band in Boston! I was thrilled with the performance they gave at my wedding - UNBELIEVABLE! Very diverse, very talented! Steve is the greatest MC you could ever have - everything right on time all night. Steve also DJ's when the band goes on break. Since our wedding, a number of our friends have booked Brandy, so I have been lucky enough to see them in action several times. From the first note to the last note - the dance floor is packed - all night! I can't say enough - these guys are great! Book em now before someone else does!
