Soho was amazing, they made my wedding absolutely incredible. The energy they had was electrifying and the dance party went strong all night long. Communication with their team was great, they were very responsive and helpful in planning ahead. They choose awesome songs to play throughout the entire night and I couldn’t recommend them enough if you’re looking for a fun dance party with a killer playlist. Every single song choice was perfect and I will definitely be keeping them in mind for future events.

District 21 played at our wedding and they were incredible! Everyone was on the dance floor having a blast. They just rolled right into each song and were able to handle all of our requests. Highly recommend! So easy and fun to work with!

Completely unreliable and caused unnecessary stress on our wedding day. The band showed up late, causing an awkward silence as the band continued setting up when live music was due to start. Despite the band's talent, ongoing sound issues created a constantly stopping / restarting throughout the night. Band was also very strict about scheduled breaks, and pushed back to ongoing requests - no flexibility. Band was nearly impossible to reach ahead of time to facilitate planning, song requests, etc. and as a result were unprepared to play some of the songs we'd requested (claimed they "

SOHO performed at our wedding at the Park Plaza Boston and they were nothing but AMAZING! Talented, professional, well dressed, on time and on budget. They're song list met our liking, but the sound of the band is what really blew us away! They even let my husband sit in on a song to serenade me! My husband and I are so glad we worked with the staff at Nightshift. They were Excellent! Five Stars!

My wife and I had Night Shift perform at our wedding at Castle Hill Inn, RI in October 2015. Hands down, the best band/entertainment at a wedding we have ever attended. Our guests continue to rave about how great they were. Non stop dancing from start to finish. A perfect addition to an amazing day.
Not only was the band amazing, but the service provided by Karen Garside was top notch. Always readily available and very responsive. Made the entire process extremely easy for us.

NightShift Entertainment gives you 5 star service + 5 star performance all in one package. Working with Karen leading up to our wedding was seamless - and the execution from the band was flawless. TRUST that your guests will be talking about how fantastic your band was for weeks and months after your wedding. Joshua made our ceremony EXTRA special with his solo performance. KUDOS TO HIM!

SOHO ROCKS!
We are so pleased that we chose your services for our daughter's wedding on 8/15/15. Soho is by far the BEST live band we have come across (and we have been to a lot of weddings the past two years)! Our guests danced the entire night! The photographer commented he could not even sneak in for a few photo ops because the dance floor was that crowded! Soho created the atmosphere we wanted for our daughter's wedding. I know guests will be talking about the fun time they had because of Soho! Soho's friendliness, professionalism, and talents surpassed our expectations. Karen was a pleasure

District 21 played at our wedding and was absolutely fantastic. The singers were incredible, and the whole band knew how to read the crowd and keep everyone high energy. I recommend them without hesitation- you won't regret it.

If you need anything music/sound related for your wedding in the Boston area these are the people to talk to.

They made planning our wedding a breeze and delivered on every level.

The Night Shift band Hudson played at our wedding last month, and they were absolutely awesome! Karen was very responsive over e-mail in the months leading up the wedding, reporting back to the band as they learned a new song for our first dance. Karen also visited the venue with me and my wife beforehand and ran an extremely efficient and informative meeting.
On the day itself, the band was phenomenal. Both of the lead singers can really wail, and the drums, bass, and saxophone were all on point. They played a faithful but also very memorable rendition of our first song. It was the perfect accompaniment

In April, we booked Night Shift for a very large and sophisticated corporate function in New York City. The band was superb! Because it was an event with a keynote speaker, they were extremely flexible with our requirements and everything went off without a hitch.
I highly recommend NS and I look forward to planning our next function together.

We had Nightshift play at our wedding on June 1st in Boston. To say they were outstanding would be an understatement. Our guests thoroughly enjoyed Ray and Lena and the other members of the band. The dance floor was packed from the start until the end. In fact, having already extended our reception by an hour and the band as well, we extended it another half an hour. I think guests would have kept dancing beyond that if they could. The band is a true group of professionals and know how to read a crowd. The band manager, Karen, was a positive delight to deal with leading up to the wedding

District 21 recently played at a graduation event we hosted for a business group. We hired them sight unseen based on recommendations by their booking agent Nightshift Entertainment. We are a mixed age group of adults, aged 30 to 55+ and they did a fantastic job reading the crowd, the mood and played awesome sets from dinner service through the end of the night! They successfully got people up and dancing and their lead singers were fun, happy and engaging.(One of our single members wanted to take the lead female home!) We felt that we got great value from the band and we would recommend to anyone

Soho (part of Night Shift Entertainment) is excellent. At our wedding (at a private club in downtown Boston), everyone danced, the dance floor was full the entire time, and the band showed a talent for choosing appropriate songs: the college kids and the grandparents both enjoyed themselves, and the mix between fast and slow dances was great. Numerous comments from guests along the lines of "so-and-so deserves a recording contract." Or, "I thought it was actually *insert name of famous musician* playing." This is a group of total pros: even the set ups for speeches were great

This band was absolutely amazing. From Karen, their manager, down to every last member of the band, they absolutely know how to "bring it" the way you expect them to. We had been hiping them up for quite some time prior to our wedding, and they exceeded all expectations we had set forth for them.

Night Shift played at our friend's wedding party/reception this weekend in the Boston Public Library. Whoa! These are some incredibly talented musicians and singers! They completely kicked it on every song from rock to funk to R&B and every song sounded better than you'd have expected had the original artists been performing their own hits. Everyone danced the night away, it was a total treat. I would definitely recommend them for any event - they were total pros across the board! All guests were raving about them!
