Our wedding packages start at $9,000 for reception with add-on options for ceremony and cocktail hour. This can vary depending on how far from Boston your wedding is, if we'll need overnight accommodation, and if we'll need to do things like put crew/cars on a ferry (what up Nantucket, Martha's Vineyard, and Block Island). That said, we're open to working with you as best as we can and truly think that we can "right-size" a package to fit your budget and event. We do offer discounts for retired/active military, first responders & healthcare workers, and teachers & educators.

Nope, we leave hidden fees to the airlines. We believe in being transparent and straightforward with you, and so your quoted price will be all-inclusive of the things that you request and need for your big day.

You absolutely do! We send you our extensive high-energy song list during the planning stages and you can pick any of the songs we've got on there. It's a long list that includes 150+ hit songs from the 70's, 80's, 90's, 00's, 10's, and 20's on it, so you'll have plenty to choose from and be able to add music that all of your guests will be able to enjoy!

We will learn 2-3 new live songs for your special day as our gift to you. If there are any must-haves that we don't play or aren't suitable for a live band, no worries! We'll fold those into your set break playlists so you can hear all the songs you want to hear. Just in case you reeeeally need "Sandstorm" and/or "Teach Me How to Dougie."

Unlike at our public shows, at weddings we generally don't take requests from your guests. We want to play the playlist that you selected and that features the songs that you chose. If a guest has a song request and we know how to play it, we'll usually have them check with you before we go off-script.

We go out with a band of five all-star players:

-Male vocals & rhythm guitar

-Female vocals

-Drums

-Bass

-Lead Guitar

We really try not to, especially when it comes to our male & female lead vocalists. But things come up and sometimes we need to have substitute players so that the show can go on. If we do need a substitute musician, we only partner with musicians that we believe meet our standard for being in the band. You won't be getting a "JV" musician by any means, just another awesome musician that doesn't play with us full-time.

Absolutely they can! Bring that up during our initial conversation and we will build it into your package. In addition to the fully plugged-in band, we can do solo, duo, and trio setups for other parts of the day as well.

We got you. We can MC the whole event for you, from introductions to specialty dances, speeches, cake cutting, announcements, etc. If it involves a microphone, we've got you covered all the way.

All wedding packages are based around a four-hour reception that begins when cocktail hour is over and includes introductions, speeches, dinner, and the dance party. We usually end up playing for ~2-3 hours (depending on how long dinner & speeches run) which typically equates to ~35-40 songs. If you think your reception is going to be longer than four hours, just let us know and we can strategize!

We will be legitimately sad if you don't. While our videos are great, we think the best way to get a feel for who we are as a band is to come and check out our one-of-a-kind shows. We also love taking care of our wedding couples and their squads. Depending on where the show is, we might even be able to get you onto our VIP guest list for the night and help you skip any line and cover charge at the venue, so let us know if you're coming!

You bet! Our wedding day team consists of not just the five-piece live band, but a professional A/V tech to make sure that the sound quality is absolutely perfect for your dancefloor to be elite all night long. We bring in all of our own equipment and then pack it up and take it with us when the night is over. No extra rentals, no hassles.

We ask for three dedicated 110-volt (20 amp) circuits to run our stage set-up. For outdoor venues, we prefer a 6000w generator that’s situated no further than 20 feet from the performance area. We do not own our own generator.

Parking: We travel with at least 6 vehicles depending on the services you want (at least 5 musicians + 1 A/V tech). We all live in different areas and we bring in a lot of equipment.

Meals: We require hot meals for all members of our team and we politely ask that our crew is served at the beginning of the dinner service. This way, we will be done with our meals before your guests and we will be able to start the dance party as soon as dinner is done!

Stages are cool, but not mandatory. We do require a level & hard surface to perform on that is covered from sun and the elements. In a perfect world, our five-piece band has at least a dedicated 12' deep by 18' wide space, but there's some wiggle room on that. But if you want a stage, lets do it!

We settle on that in coordination with you leading up to the event so that we can match the vibe that you are going for. You can rest assured that we're not going to show up dressed like we're going to spend the night in the pit at Warped Tour (unless that's what you want, of course).

No problem, let's chat about it! Feel free to text/call 617.595.6566 or shoot us an email at wearethestands@gmail.com.
