  Wonderful experience!

  My husband and I prioritized hiring a band for our wedding. We knew it would be a bit of a splurge, but we also knew it would change the atmosphere of our reception and would 100% be worth it. And it was. When we came upon Silver Arrow Band we were shocked by how affordable it was in comparison to other bands we had inquired about. The quality, professionalism and talent did not disappoint and was exactly what we were looking for. We would absolutely use them again!

  Amazing band!

  Silver Arrow was an amazing band to work with from start to finish! From our prospective client calls to any questions that came up throughout the planning process, down to the day, our producer Neil was amazing - responsive, flexible, and SO helpful! Day of, the band was just fantastic - talented, reliable, and totally brought the energy!

  Amazing wedding band!

  Silver Arrow was AMAZING!!!
  I cannot express how great they were and how much all our guests LOVED Silver Arrow! They 100% brought the party and brought the house down!! We did not stop dancing all night. The singers were amazing. The musicians were amazing (special shout out to the horns section!!). They made sure to play some of our favorites, and also threw in some songs that we were not expecting and they absolutely killed it! They also learned & performed a wonderful rendition of our first dance song (and got the timing perfect! We were a bit worried that the song we chose was too long, but they cut it down perfectly)
  Silver Arrow also ran the sound for our ceremony and cocktail hour and did so perfectly!
  You will NOT be disappointed with Silver Arrow Band!! Several weeks later, all our guests are still talking about how much fun they had dancing with the band! And the cherry on top is that Silver Arrow was much more affordable than all other bands we inquired about.

  Super funky!

  This band is LEGIT. We booked them for our wedding last month and they totally delivered! We ended up doing a 9-piece ensemble, with smaller groupings for the ceremony and cocktail hour. Loren and the crew made it so easy for us, chatting about our style and what we wanted to hear - mostly funk and 80s. They even learned a few songs for us to truly customize our day. As music nerds ourselves, my husband and I couldn’t just trust our wedding to anyone - we both HIGHLY recommend booking them for your wedding!

  One of the best parts of our wedding!

  My husband and I had Silver Arrow Band play at our wedding in January and we strongly recommend them! Having a live band was so important to us because it made our reception more lively and more people were on the dance floor. Silver Arrow Band was incredible!! They were affordable and I loved that there was a range of options with a trio vs 10pc band with a horn section (we had a 8-piece band with 2 vocalists, drums, bass, keys, guitar, sax, & trombone). Our singer was an absolute star, she used the whole stage and danced on the dance floor, our guests were raving about the music weeks after the event. Our producer, Neil, was responsive, honest, and a pleasure to work with. We wanted to have our choreographed 1st dance song to live music, but our producer advised us that it would be risky with the music timing, so we compromised by having a recording play our song for the 1st dance, and then the band ended up performing a cover of our song as the last dance, which ended up working perfectly. Their prices can’t be beat compared to other live bands and they have such a large variety of music. They made our special day so much more memorable and I strongly recommend Silver Arrow Band to anyone who wants a live band for their event or if you just want to pop in to watch them at their showcases they offer for free for a fun night out! We’re definitely going to watch them live again in April at the Burren!

  My feet still hurt from dancing

  Silver Arrow Band are actual rockstars! We hired them for our wedding and it was one of the best decisions we made. They were amazing to work with, even with some out-of-the-box requests. We got SO many compliments from our guests on how incredible they were all evening and for days after. They had our guests on the dance floor all night, crushing it song after song. I am so grateful for their energy and talent - BOOK them and you will not regret it!!

  Your search for a wedding band ends here

  Wow wow wow, where to start. We absolutely loved our experience with Silver Arrow, they provided MC services and oversaw our ceremony music as well as playing live at our reception. Every member was friendly, flexible to the changes of the day, and extremely professional. They are highly talented, and every single guest had something wonderful to say about them. They will learn two new songs as part of the cost of hiring them, and the number of band members can be adjusted to your budget. We hired a 7 piece size to have a saxophonist and an additional singer, and they did 4 sets of 45 minute performances throughout our reception. We used one of those sets to have a jazz band style performance during our cocktail hour, and the three remaining sets after dinner were the perfect amount of time for dancing (and everybody was dancing). My husband is a musician, and he was able to play with the band at one point as a surprise for our guests. It was one of my favorite parts of the evening. To top it all off, they are not overseen by a management company, so the cost of the band goes directly into the pockets of the performers; there are no exorbitant upcharges as a result. They also have so many performers on staff that the number of pieces you buy is guaranteed, if one performer gets sick the night before they can easily call in a replacement. There aren't many vendors that can provide that level of security. In conclusion, I would recommend this band for any wedding or special occasion. We might have to hire them again in a few years for an anniversary party.

  Best wedding choice!

  As we began planning our wedding, we decided that the one non-negotiable was live music and we are SO HAPPY we chose Silver Arrow Band! Tyson (manager and drummer) was so helpful in coordinating logistics leading up to the day and the band successfully got all of our guests (including my 97-year-old Grandmother) to the dance floor for the entire evening. The whole band was also incredibly kind and flexible to adapt to the needs/energy of our day as they arose. They were wonderful in coordinating with our other vendors as well to ensure the day ran smoothly. Our guests have not stopped talking about the great time they had and Silver Arrow Band's music is certainly a big reason why!

  The MOST talented band!

  If you are debating a band, look no further because you absolutely will NOT regret hiring Silver Arrow Band for your event. My now husband and I attended one of their wedding preview events and immediately fell in love. We were connected with the band's producer, Liz, and we really can't say enough amazing things about her. She is a rockstar (no pun intended!). She helped us making so many important decisions, created the most perfect timeline, and picked THE MOST INCREDIBLE musicians to play on our special day. I really don't know if I've ever been to a wedding where people were dancing the entire time the band was playing - no joke, they were THAT GOOD. Each band member was so talented!! We had a 9-person band and they were all just WOW. They were extremely friendly too, which always is a major plus. We also had the best MC, she really kept the party going with her outgoing and cheerful personality! If you want the best night of your life with top notch talent and the best songs, Silver Arrow Band is your band. Thank you so much for making the best day of our lives so FANTASTIC!!!!

  Excellent wedding band

  My husband and I worked with Silver Arrow Band for our October '23 wedding and we could not have been happier with their service. We hired them for ceremony music, a jazz trio at cocktail hour, and a 7-piece band during the reception (inclusive of an MC). We were absolutely blown away by their performance throughout the night and so were our guests. We had a lot of asks (and do not plays) and the band seriously delivered. Having the acoustic guitarist for our ceremony was also so special. The MC was an absolute must, kept the energy and kept the timeline in check the entire night. We saw Silver Arrow Band at one of their showcases just outside of Boston, and this was the perfect way to see just what they were able to do. They did not disappoint!

  Terrible communication ahead of time and musicians fell significantly short of expectation.

  Unfortunately hiring this band was the one let down/regret at my wedding. Terrible communication ahead of time and musicians fell significantly short of expectation.
  
  We knew upfront that unlike the other wedding bands we had looked at, we wouldn't be able to pick or even know who the musicians comprising our wedding band would be ahead of time. However, decided to take the chance given the band's great reviews and wedding showcase performance we attended, as well as assurances from the producer/coordinator we were connected with that singers with voices well suited to the style of music we wanted would be selected. The producer also assured us that we would be able to be very involved in the music selection as the band was one of the most important aspects of our wedding for us.
  
  A couple months ahead of our wedding we pulled together a list of all of the songs we wanted played and sent it to our producer asking him to confirm which of the songs the band would be able to perform. We didn't receive a reply. We followed up a couple times, again with no response. We ended up setting up a call to talk live, hoping this would be a better way to engage him. On the call, he looked at the email for the first time and told us that it was highly irregular for the couple to create a set-list for the band and that instead the other couples they worked with only supplied a "do not play" list. He told us that the band could read the room and knew what was best to play. This was very different to what we had previously been told and would have guided us to select a different band initially. Music is really important to us and we didn't want to be on the dance floor at our wedding and have songs we didn't know or particularly like come on. After pushing a bit he told us he would review the songs and let us know which the band could play. His list ended up being extremely limited and didn't include songs from our list which every other wedding band we had looked at could play and even songs included as song examples on the band's website....
  
  We were also told that we owed more money even though we had paid the full balance. Our successive emails on music selection and money were not returned and I ultimately reached out to the head of the company, who confirmed we did not owe anything else and that the band could play many of the songs we had been told they couldn't. We were told to supply a set-list of confirmed songs and the band would play from it.
  
  On the day, disappointingly the band ended up playing some songs not included on our set-list. Additionally, the quality of the singers was very poor in comparison to the singers we had heard live at the showcase. I received multiple comments from guest about how off key they were. Overall, very disappointing experience given how much we paid and how important the live band was to us.
  
  Of note, unlike other wedding bands you cannot communicate with anyone who will be there on the day of the wedding. Everything goes through a producer who then passes things along to the band, which in our case could have driven a lot of miscommunication as our assigned producer was easily confused and very unresponsive. Even a couple weeks out from the wedding we were unable to get email responses from him.
