Hired on Thumbtack

We have a holiday party for our 200+ employees each year. The ages range from 20 to 90+ years old (it is a difficult mix) and everyone loved them! They played holiday music during dinner and dance music afterwards. They were engaging and delightful, and were the highlight of the evening. I would highly recommend them for your event.

Details: Holiday party • 201 - 250 guests • 31 - 50 years old • Office coordinator • Piano • Band • Vocals • Strings • No preference • Variety • Banquet hall / ballroom • Indoors • Yes, but equipment is limited and professional should bring their own equipment • $$ (standard) • Need some more information before hiring

Brandy did a great job performing at my wedding. I received so many compliments from my guests about them. They heeded all of my requests ranging from song selection to sound volume and vocal style. Perhaps the biggest testament to their performance was the sight of my 4 year old nephew rocking out to the band's music, despite never having expressed any dance inclination previously. It was an astounding revelation, even to his parents.

I did not meet Steve until he was about to introduce my new husband and I to our guests and I already couldn’t stop thanking him for going above and beyond what I had hoped for. From the start Steve was a pleasure to work with and Brandy delivered more than was promised on my wedding day. They put on an amazing performance and kept everyone dancing right up to the last song. I highly recommend Brandy to anyone planning a wedding in New England who wants main stream music played live for a reasonable price. While searching for vendors, a manager of a band that I had not chosen due to their price recommended another band he worked with that was within my budget. When I told him that I was leaning towards hiring Brandy he quickly replied that if I liked Brandy I should go with them. Not only did this competitor have many positive things to say about Steve, but he guaranteed that I would be happy if I chose Brandy. And so I did. Selecting a band without hearing them play is difficult; however Brandy made the process simple. Their website has plenty of sound clips and videos of them performing to show exactly how they sound. These videos are not altered to look like a music video or dubbed, they are real. Also it is clear from the amount of time the band has been together that the same members of the band from the videos would be the ones performing at my wedding. This was comforting because I read so many bad reviews of other vendors who hook you with a great lead vocalist at a wedding event and then trade them out for someone different at your wedding (even when brides specifically write that person into the contract). Sure enough, I recognized the whole band from the website when I first saw them. The venue where my reception was held was complicated in that cocktail hour was outside, dinner was in a tent and dancing was inside. Most vendors would only offer one set up location, but Steve happily modified the contract to have Brandy provide speakers outside and have a piano and guitar play in the tent (due to noise restrictions of the neighborhood) before the full band performed on the dance floor. Not only was music clearly audible outdoors as we drove in but I noticed that there was a full band set up in the tent. I was floored. Steve was able to convince the site owner that the full band could play outdoors without exceeding the volume levels he was concerned about and Brandy was willing to set up all of their equipment twice. I was so happy that my first dance could be to a live performance rather than a prerecording as I had anticipated. Despite the full band needing to move after dinner the transition was seamless. Once the party really started, on the dance floor, it never stopped. Most weddings have lulls where everyone sits down to take a breather, but this did not happen. Partially due to my family’s love for dancing, but mostly thanks to Brandy’s ability to keep everyone on their feet. Brandy also provided lighting which really set the mood. The amount of tears in my wedding gown at the end of the night was a testament to how much fun I had dancing. I literally slid across the dance floor on my knees during the last song wanting the night to continue. After the wedding everyone was raving about the band. Even the site owner shared how much he enjoyed them and plans to recommend them to future couples. If you read this far you must be seriously considering Brandy for your event, in which case go book them, you won’t regret it.

I got married in late October and Brandy was the entertainment at my wedding. They were AMAZING!!! Steve was the guy I was in contact with and he was so very helpful right from the start. He was very professional, friendly and clearly knowledgeable about how to proceed in making a wedding run smoothly. He was maticulous about having every step of the way covered starting with the first song up to the last song, making sure each of the names of the members of my wedding party were correct and followed up on each of my calls and or many requests. He made my wedding run smoothly and I could not have been happier. The band sounded so great that my friends and family still can’t stop telling us (me and my husband)what a BLAST they had at our wedding which was evident by the packed dance floor all night. I’m very thankful that Brandy literally made our wedding a huge success!!! We are so happy we went with a live band, specifically “Brandy” rather than a DJ. Thank you Steve and the other members of the band Brandy for making our wedding so wonderfully memorable. I seriously have no doubt that besides saying “I do” to my love, choosing Brandy was the best! Priscilla Levesque
