After having seen the band perform on numerous occasions.. we knew the quality of music was going to be spectacular..but the band exceeded our already high expectations! The sounds, blends, and vocals were all top notch! I also have to give so much respect and thanks to Guilty Pleasure for learning and performing our wedding song "By Your Side" by Sade. With much anticipation, my wife was worried about the quality of the song and was debating for quite a while whether we should just play the original recorded version...but I made the decision to have Guilty Pleasure learn the song for our first dance and it was one of the best decisions I've ever made…not only did they do an incredible job...but the sound from the band sounded like the album. In fact, it sounded BETTER than the album! We were both incredibly impressed…and it only got better from there!

The dinner set was incredibly well put together and the mood was perfect for the big day. In terms of the song selection, this band GETS IT! They understand what the crowd needs, they accommodated requests, and spanned the ages with songs ranging from Motown, R&B, and top 40. They have an incredible range. The bandleader Chris accommodated our time constraints due to a late start and even extended the dancing segment of the night, and he was a pleasure to work with. And I can't say enough about Mikel. He was an incredible emcee for the night, made the entire reception incredibly personal, and did an brilliant job getting the crowd into the party!

We can't thank Guilty Pleasure enough for making our day incredibly special. We still have friends and family who are continue telling us how wonderful the band was. I'll be sure to forward all their fan mail to you directly and we can't wait for your next performance.

With much love and praise,
Ralph and Kimberly Tavares (July 16, 2011 Wedding)

Guilty Pleasure helped to solidify the perfect wedding day that my husband and I were hoping for. From the moment he first saw and heard them play we knew we HAD to have them at our wedding. Chris was so easy to work with in preparing for the big day. He has a great personality and attention to detail which really put my mind at ease and helped me trust that things would flow perfectly once the day arrived.

We didn't think it was even possible, but the music the day of the wedding was spectacular!!! All our guests loved the music, array of instruments and the dancing didn't stop until the night ended. The singing was absolutely beautiful and the vocalists sang moving performances to make those romantic dances all the more special.

Guilty Pleasure made our wedding day amazing, they stood out, yet never stole the thunder from my husband and I. If anyone is ever looking for a band for any type of event I would highly recommend you. A million thanks to you for making our wedding day a day we'll truly never forget!

Hi there! I was a guest at Ralphie's wedding yesterday, and I just HAD to send you a quick note to tell you how much I enjoyed hearing you guys!! I was just blown away by how great you are, that was the most fun I've ever had at a wedding. Not many people have live music at weddings, and it makes ALL the difference..Incredibly impressive, all around! I will for sure be calling you up for my wedding!

Thanks!

Emily Letourneau (wedding guest at the July 16, 2011 Tavares wedding)

Guilty Pleasure was awesome last night - thank you so much!!!! Great way to start our summer concert series!

Fabre Sanders (June 28, 2011, Holliston Arts Council's Summer Concert Series)

"We had a great time and the night seemed to fly by… because we were on the dance floor for most of it! The band kept it upbeat and grooved all night. Many of our guests said it was the best wedding reception they had been to in a long time. It was truly a great celebration…thanks to you guys."

Jeff & Allison Conelius (July 31, 2010 wedding at the Biltmore Hotel in Providence, RI)

"Guilty Pleasure was perfect for our wedding. They were incredibly helpful in the planning when they helped my fiancee choose our final music for certain parts of the reception when we couldn't decide and they let us customize our night to fit our vision. They had a great array of music that kept everyone from my boss to my aunt to our best friends happy and dancing all night. One member even provided our ceremony music and two of their members provided cocktail music, which made our day that much more special."

Aaron Kravitz & Emily Ladd (July 24, 2010 wedding at the Fairmont Copley Plaza Hotel in Boston, MA

"Guilty Pleasure was terrific…you helped make Emily and Seth's wedding just perfect! The music was great, and the band really helped pace the whole evening. I can't say enough good things. Also…the Aquarium events staff is adding you to their preferred vendor list…Thanks again for everything".

Jane Wolfson - VP, Marketing and Communications - New England Aquarium (September 6, 2009 wedding at the New England Aquarium in Boston, MA)

"We wanted to send you and the whole band a huge THANK YOU for the amazing entertainment you provided at our wedding at the Peabody Essex Museum. We knew you would be great, but you really exceeded all of our expectations. Between the fun party songs and the slower songs...I think it's safe to say that you blew everyone away! We don't think we've ever seen our friends and families have more fun than they had dancing the night away...we all had a blast! Thanks so much for playing such a big part in making everyone have a fabulous time at the wedding. We'll definitely recommend you to anyone looking for an awesome band!"

Kaitlin & Chris (August 1, 2009 wedding at the Peabody Essex Museum in Salem, MA)

"We had to write to thank you for your exceptional performance at our wedding reception! Our search for the perfect wedding band ended when we booked Guilty Pleasure almost a year ago! We had seen tons of cheesy wedding bands without any soul or the ability to make people really FEEL the music. When we first heard your band, we both were up out of our seats dancing. Obviously, our wedding guests felt the same as they were all packed on the dance floor for EVERY song!!! We really believe that a band can make or break a reception, and we want to thank you for making ours the most memorable party we could have ever hoped for! Many of our friends have already said they will book you for their future weddings! Thank you so much for bringing such an amazing element to our reception!".

Jessica & Chris Gallagher (June 27, 2009 wedding in Hyannis, MA)

"We just wanted to thank you for everything... we received so many compliments about Guilty Pleasure, and you were exactly what we were hoping for... we had the most wonderful wedding day and you were such a pleasure to work with."

All of our best,

"Thanks so very much for being such an amazing band...moving the party along with your awesome energy…you guys really made our wedding day unforgettable!"

"We just wanted to thank you for everything on our wedding day!  The music was absolutely perfect and we couldn't have had more fun!  The energy you guys bring to the room is incredible and you really do keep people on their feet the entire time! We had the time of our lives and huge part was knowing the band had the music covered! Looking back we know we made the perfect choice...you did an amazing job!"

Tom & Allie Been (July 5, 2008 wedding in Harrisville, RI)

"Guilty Pleasure was absolutely amazing! They kept the crowd out on the dance floor all night long with their energetic presence and mix of dance music. Its’ been over a month and people keep commenting on the band and how much they enjoyed our reception. Guilty Pleasure made our wedding a night we will always remember, we couldn’t have picked a more fun, lively, and entertaining band!"

Jeremy & Amy Corriveau (June 9, 2007 wedding in Westport, MA)

"Just wanted to send you a short note thanking you & the band they were absolutely incredible! You guys were, by far, the best choice we made for the whole wedding! The dance floor was filled the entire night! Our wedding was truly everything we wanted it to be & Guilty Pleasure was a very big part of that! We still get emails from friends and family telling us how much they loved the band... It was truly wonderful! 

Thanks again,

Lauren Heather & Darryl Drevna (Fall 2004 wedding in Easthampton, MA)

"I just wanted you all to know how much we appreciated your band at our wedding.
Everywhere we go, whenever we see any of our guests that were at our wedding, the first thing they say is, "Where did you find that band?....they were so great!" It's always a topic of conversation & why we truly believe our wedding wouldn't have been as special without your band!  Being a wedding photographer myself I see & work with bands at receptions all the time
...but I knew after having seen Guilty Pleasure..that was the band we wanted! Teresa and I danced so much that night… I think we danced to every song... it felt as though we never sat down…ha...ha!

Thanks again so much!
