My husband and I recently got married at On The Marsh in Kennebunk, ME this summer. In my whirlwind of wedding planning I asked my then fiance what he wanted most for our day - his answer "A really good live band." In my effort to find just that, I searched from Newport, RI, to Boston, MA, up to Bangor, ME and beyond. Most reviews came up short or just weren't quite what we were looking for until I found Wavelength. Wavelength showcased a great selection of classic songs, along with rock, blues and even some more recent hits. Lead vocalist Kathleen did a spot-on rendition of Etta James' At Last for our first dance and it was beautiful. And during dinner while the band was setting up, one of their gutarists played solo for our dinner hour - a wonderful bonus! The band has amazing vocals and great energy. They did a perfect job at reading the crowd all night long and playing accordingly. Manager Johnna Dionne was amazing to work with through all the planning and always so quick to respond with either email or phone call. In short I would HIGHLY recommend Wavelength to all newly engaged couples in the Maine, NH, & Massachusetts area!!

Have you ever seen an encore from a wedding band? Wavelength was one of our favorite vendors to work with for our wedding. Johnna is professional, organized and enjoyable throughout the process. Wavelength easily mastered our ceremony just as we imagined, perfectly accented our cocktail hour and then rocked it at our Barn/Dance party. Many of our guests sent US thank you notes for the wedding and specifically called out our awesome band. Thanks, Wavelength!!

Working with Johnna and Wavelength was so effortless. She was in constant communication about our needs and how they could make the event better. We chose Home by Michael Buble as our song. Wavelength did an amazing job on their rendition! We were so happy at how it turned out. Their collection of songs is diverse and covers many eras of music. They were very professional and did a wonderful job with announcements to keep the party rolling smoothly. The music changed according to the crowd which really set the mood throughout the night. We couldnt have asked for a better band to celebrate the night with us. We even recommended them to the local Newagen Inn as a regular band. We have a summer home in Newagen, ME, because Johnna, Kathleen and Wavelength far exceeded our expectations, they will be our band of choice for any event in that area in the future. We loved them and highly recommend them to any couple getting married from ME to Mass and beyond!

Thank you so much for all of your time and energy you put into our wedding. We are now a week after the wedding and are still getting compliments on the band we chose. Wavelength inspired a full dance floor the entire night and those who chose to sit really enjoyed listening. Dana and I couldn't be happier. You all played a big part in making my wedding such a magical night. Thank you again!

The band was unbelievable and really made our reception. They are so talented, were so organized, right on top of everything and to top it all off, on one of their breaks they went out to the car, learned the song Georgia by Ray Charles and sang it. I am from Georgia and most of my friends and family who were there are and it was amazing. The sign of a great band is that the dance floor is full all night and it was!!!!!! Not one person stopped dancing the entire time. Thank you again for everything you did to make our wedding day so special and so perfect. Rob and I feel very lucky. You really were like my wedding planner when it came to the timeline of everything. You made it so easy on me and I really mean that. If there is anyone I know getting married in Maine you will be my first recommendation.

Sebasco Harbor Resort Wedding

Sandra and Kevin, Sebasco Estates, June 2010

We just wanted to extend our most sincere appreciation to Wavelength who played at our June 13th, 2010 wedding. From day 1, Johnna, Wavelength's manager was on point with our vision for the wedding music and never lost touch. she was outstanding with details throughout the wedding preparation, which we really appreciated because there are just too many things to keep track of. Our experience with the band was nothing but the best. They were all super friendly and really flexible. They outdid themselves by learning our first dance, the mother-son, and father-daughter songs! Paul, the guitarist played at our ceremony and cocktail hour and he was just so good! My husband and I danced pretty much all night, and a lot of people kept commenting on how good the band was. One of the best moments in our reception was when my 4 yr old niece got on stage to sing a Taylor Swift song in the spur of the moment! The band just played along, Kathleen so sweet accommodating her so well, it brought tears to my eyes! Don't hesitate. They are so good you will have a great time. They just make having a good time so easy! Again, thank you Wavelength!

We wanted to let you know how happy we were with Wavelength as our wedding band. From beginning to end you were TOP notch. Your response time, level of organization, thoroughness, wiliness to learn new songs, attention to details, were all amazing. You were everything and more than you promised. You made our wedding day; by playing the songs we wanted but also reading the crowd and playing songs people wanted to hear. You keep everyone dancing…. just what we asked for. Our guests were dancing and enjoying themselves and that’s what a wedding should do. Thank you for truly fullfilling all our requests and being so much fun!!! We appreciate all of you!!! I also wanted you to know that I have told everyone that you are the most organized vendor that we worked with which makes the planning easy and stress free. As my grandmother always says, "I give you the gold star."

Meg and Pete, Peaks Island, September 2009

We just had the absolute best time and everyone raved about the band! I knew you guys would be fun, but it even exceed my expectations. They had the dance floor crowded from the first song till the last. And I know Max Hodes had a blast singing with you guys. It made for an incredible evening - and a ton of fun! We had a great group of people, great location, and wonderful weather, but Wavelength really put it over the top. I had so much fun on the dance floor that I didn't even realize my feet were sore till the very end of the evening - I was too busy dancing to notice! Thanks again for everything.

First Dance

Beth and Rich, Peaks Island, September 2008

The band did an awesome job, they were more than we could have imagined. Everything was perfect, even though we did get a little rain towards the end. I appreciated the band even more seeing them break down the equipment in the pouring rain. Wavelength was awesome, simply put. Beth and I enjoyed working with you and would be glad to provide more recommendations in the future. We will definitely make it up to Portland for the next cruise. See you next year. Thanks so much.

Dunegrass Wedding

Tom and Alexa, Old Orchard Beach, July 2008

The band did such a great job. We had so much fun and all we've heard for the past two weeks is how amazing the band was. They sounded great, and did such a wonderful job with our first song. They exceeded our expectations and we could not have been happier. If you ever need a reference, please don't hesitate to use Alexa or myself.

Sebasco Harbor Resort Wedding

Laura and Joe, Sebasco Harbor Resort, June 2011

Wavelength Rocks! After listening to their demo cd we were thrilled to have Wavelength play at our wedding and couldn’t wait to see how they would engage the crowd. Needless to say, we weren’t disappointed. The dance floor filled up so quickly! All of the band members were courteous, cooperative and very talented. They played an extremely versatile, engaging and fun group of songs for everyone at our wedding. Our main concern beforehand was that a five piece band might be too over-powering for the room. We couldn’t have been happier with how they handled the volume throughout the entire reception. Wavelength made our night an unforgettable one!

Dartmouth College Wedding

Kaitlin and Tim, Dartmouth, May 2011

This band really made our wedding spectacular. From the minute we began communication with Johnna and the band they made it an easy, enjoyable experience. Johnna walked me through the process from start to finish, her expertise really made a difference. We had the bands guitarist play at our ceremony and he did a wonderful job. The band made all of our special dances very memorable and kept the guests dancing all night! They did a great job of playing music that catered to everyone's tastes as well. Our guests are still talking about how great they were!

Wedding at Laudholm Farm

Kristin and Todd, Laudholm Farm, September 2011

Thank you so much! The band was AMAZING at the wedding, everyone had such a great time and loved the band. It was an incredible day and it couldn't have been done without all of our great vendors, especially the band, who really made the reception and dance party the best part of the day (well maybe except the vows and such :) lol ).

Maine Wedding

Anna and Bryan, July 2011, Ellsworth

Best wedding band!!! When we were planing our wedding we said we want our guests to remember what a good time they had and to us that meant to have a live band. We were trying to find local vendors and after some research I came across Wavelength. All the outstanding reviews are so correct! Working with the manager Johnna was a breeze, she was always helpful and always responded quickly to questions in emails or phone calls. For our ceremony we had acoustic guitar music and it was perfect for our outdoor event. Paul did such a great job and everyone enjoyed the music. With dinner started the music of the band and it was so nice to have live music but still be able to hold a conversation without having to scream at each other over the music. The band learned Happy Together for our first dance and even played 99 red balloons for me since I am from Germany. After dinner the real party started and from that point on the dance floor was packed the whole night. Everyone was on the dance floor even the great aunt at 92!!! We added another hour that night because we didn't want the party to end. For the last dance all guests were dancing and cheering: One more song, One more song!!! So the band played one last song for us and it was the best band I have ever seen at a wedding! Guests still keep on telling us how much fun they had dancing and everyone raves about our wedding band!!! I would recommend this band without a doubt to anyone who wants to have a night to remember and wants to see their guests dance the night away.

Kathryn and Sam, Grace Restaurant, October 2011

We could not have been more pleased with Wavelength prior to or during our event. Johnna was extremely responsive and the band even learned a song for our first dance. The band set the right tone for the entire evening from cocktail hour to the last dance. We wanted to be sure that everyone, from my Grandma to our friends, was on the dance floor and Wavelength successfully fulfilled our wish! Would recommend them to anyone!

 

 

Boothbay Harbor Wedding

Katie and Chris, Boothbay Harbor, August 2007

We couldn't have been happier with the band and were so excited that they played Freebird at request!! Everyone was so impressed with the band and had a great time!! Our wedding was perfect and we are so thankful to have had Wavelength.

Samantha Warren Weddings

Martha and Tom, Scarborough, June 2007

Thank you all so much for your hard work in making the music for our wedding simply perfect! From our first meeting, I knew that we had picked the right group. In your planning, details, learning new music and making everything seamless on our big day, it was all perfect. With over 10 years of event planning experience, I have come across many bands and performers and you were all so professional, down to earth and made my life very easy. I never in a million years dreamed that my friends, parents, grandparents and nieces and nephews would be danicing on the same dance floor together! I think the only break they took was the break that the band took. Thanks again and I look forward to working with you in the future.

Kristen and Denny, Auburn, August 2006

I just wanted to take a minute to let you know that the band was phenomenal. We had a really great time and I know that all of our guests did as well. They did a great job learning the song for our first dance and Kathleen was fabulous at getting people moving. We are very, very pleased with their performance.

Spruce Point Inn Wedding

Kathy and Nate, Boothbay Harbor, June 2005

Thank you! The band was wonderful! They did an amazing job learning our first dance song,'I Love You' by The Climax Blues Band. Both Johnna and Kathleen were so easy to work with. Thank you for making our wedding day so memorable!

Stefanida & William, Boothbay Harbor, June 2004

We just wanted to take the time to thank you for the incredible performance at our wedding celebration. We loved the rendition of our Otis Redding song and the dance music was outstanding. The dance floor was full the entire night thanks to you all. We heard many wonderful comments from our guests and will certainly recommend you!

Thank you so very much for your very special role in making our wedding reception so memorable and fun. We felt honored to have such a talented group of musicians play ‘our song’.

First Dance

Allison and Mike, Peaks Island, September 2009

Mike and I thoroughly enjoyed our wedding on Peaks Island this past fall and a large part of the energy in the room can be attributed to the band. A couple of people actually noted that the female singer, Kathleen, had a great stage presence. You were truly helpful in the process that can be overwhelming and sometimes scary. The suggestions you made and the extra trip to the island with me put my mind at ease and gave me total confidence that the day would go off without a hitch. This speaks a lot to your professionalism and excellent management of the band business. I know that we had the band announce a congratulations to several anniversary couples but I did ask if you could play “It had to be you” which was my Matron of Honor’s song with her husband.The band played it and they were so thrilled. Correct me if I’m wrong, but I think the band actually learned this song too!? This illustrates the true talent of the band members and the commitment to making an event truly special to all involved.

Alissa and Nathan, Auburn, February 2008

The band was amazing--just amazing. We had the greatest time at our reception. We both agree, our wedding day was truly the happiest day of our lives. You have been an absolute pleasure to work with, and the band was a huge hit. Our guests have all been asking about them and complimenting them. Thank you for a perfect night.

Hilton Garden Inn Freeport Wedding

Peggy and John, Freeport, May 2010

We could not have asked for a better band. We heard them on a music cruise in casco bay before we booked them and moved our date so we could have them play. Our guests LOVED them. They are still telling us how great they are. They learned Jack Johnson's 'Better Together' for our first song and I totally recommend 'Wonderful World' as a parent song. Amazing job and such a professional band. They are top notch. They set the tone for the night with announcements and every single band member looked like they were just having FUN.

Red Barn at Outlook Farm Wedding

Jennie and Eric, South Berwick, October 2010

My husband and I were thrilled to have Wavelength play at our wedding! We were recently married at the Red Barn at Outlook Farm in South Berwick. I can't tell you how many of our guests raved about how fantastic the band was! Johnna (manager) was fantastic to work with, as well. Just a fantastic overall experience! We can't thank them enough!

Lucerne Inn Wedding

Casey and Nate, Lucerne Inn, June 2011

"Wavelength was incredibly professional, talented, affordable, and friendly. I met with their manager Johnna, and had many email conversations with her before the wedding. She was very calming and helped alleviate any fears I had. The band arrived mid-reception, and they were quiet and didn't do any sound checks to interrupt dinner, and they sounded fantastic. At 7:00, during the first song, the dance floor was relatively empty. At 7:05, during the second song, the dance floor was PACKED. And it stayed that way for the rest of the night. They read the crowd incredibly well, and played upbeat fun dance music all night long. They interspersed some slow songs, and those also filled the dance floor. I couldn't have asked for a more perfect wedding reception, and that is in large part due to Wavelength. They made the evening WAY more memorable than a DJ would have, and they had great energy throughout the night. If you want to make your wedding memorable and an absolute blast, definitely hire Wavelength!!"

New Hampshire wedding band

Taryn and Matt, New Hampshire, September 2011

Fun memorable night! All of my guests raved how wonderful the band was!! Everyone had a great time on the dance floor. The songs they learned were beautiful and they played all the right ones to keep the party going. I believe the dance floor was full from the first dance to the last. Johnna was magnificent to work with. She helped answer all my questions and made wonderful suggestions!! I recommend this band for anyone who wants to have a memorable night that you and your guests will be talking about long after the last song is played.

Wedding at the Landing at Pine Point

Denise and Adam, The Landing, August 2011

5 Star Wedding Band! We live in Boston and initially had gone to see some wedding bands in the city while deciding on the best fit for our wedding. We were about to make our decision when we heard about a local Maine band- Wavelength. After listening to their samples and reading reviews we decided to go with them. We're so happy we found them at the last minute- they were everything we were looking for and more! Their talents allow them to bring good and fun variety to a wedding to help keep everyone happy. We loved how they interacted with our guests and made sure the dance floor wasn't empty once the entire night! We even used one of the band members, Paul D, to play our ceremony and cocktail hour music- that also went so well and we were very pleased! Johnna, the Manager of the band is so accommodating and easy to work with, which is a huge plus. We had experienced some not so responsive Managers while looking at other bands before we found Wavelength. I knew on the day of the wedding I didn't have to stress or worry about anything band related, thanks to Johnna. I would definitely recommend Wavelength to anyone looking for a fun, interactive band for your wedding!

Harpswell Wedding

Kelli and Conrad, Harpswell, June 2011

A highlight of our wedding! Both my husband and I agree that Wavelength exceeded our expectations. We wanted to have a fun, live band that played a variety of music, and they surely did all of that and more. People of all ages were on the dance floor all night, and after the party, everyone told us how much they loved the band. They were flexible, fun, and very talented. I would highly recommend them for anyone looking to have a good dance party at their reception.
