    What incredible talent!

    I have seen Stardust several times as they also play at a yearly event I attend. So having them as my wedding band was not even a question. I was thinking of hiring them 2 years before my husband and I were even engaged! They are an extremely talented group of musicians who play a large variety of music and their energy really fuels a crowd.
    When I tell you everyone at my wedding was up and dancing I mean EVERYONE! People are still commenting to me how good they were!

    They are also very responsive. Keith responds very quickly to emails and makes sure each question is answered. I would 100% recommend them to anybody for their wedding!

    Amazing band!

    Keith and the Stardust band were fantastic! They brought life to the party on our wedding day and had everyone raving. I had several guests approach me afterwards reiterating how amazing Stardust was - even the other vendors. They really had amazing range across every genre. Keith was great to work with, super prompt in communication leading up to the event and helped give us some valuable suggestions to improve the flow of the wedding. Would 100% recommend!

    The Stardust Band's reply:

    Thank you so much for your kind words. It was such a pleasure working with you, and we hope that you enjoyed the band as much as we enjoyed performing for you and your wonderful crowd! All the best to you and your family, and I hope our paths cross again down the road...!

    Fantastic!!!

    Keith and the band were so fantastic to work with! The energy for our wedding was so perfect. Keith was great with communication leading up to the day; he was very proactive and checked in frequently to make sure we were on the same page. The band learned a new song for our first dance which was really special. Everyone absolutely RAVED about the music. They also helped us book strings for our ceremony and cocktail hour which was so awesome because we didn't have to set up a separate contract for strings. We're so happy we booked Stardust!

    The Stardust Band's reply:

    Thank you so much Charlotte for your kind words! It was such a pleasure working with you and your family and being part of your special day. What a beautiful night - we had so much fun being there with you. – All the best of luck to you and Colin!

    Amazing Band!

    The Stardust Band is extremely talented and Keith is a pleasure to work with. He even helped us to coordinate a flow for the evening always with a focus on what was most important to us. Everyone was raving about them and I'm so glad we went with Stardust!

    The Stardust Band's reply:

    Thanks so much for your kind words! It was a pleasure working with you, Jon, and all of your family. The band so enjoyed performing for your wonderful crowd - such a wonderful venue and a beautiful night! All the best to you and Jon, and please don't be a stranger...!

    Stardust - Incredible Wedding Experience!

    Hans (Best Bands Mgr.) and Keith (Stardust band lead) were exceptional to work with. They were patient and responsive with our questions and flexible about the experience we wanted to provide our guests. Keith worked with us post contract up until the evening of the wedding and was as kind as professional as it gets! Stardust knocked it out of the park between the ceremony trio, cocktail hour trio and 9 piece band at the reception! They were also flexible when we didn't want the party to end providing us with an OT option. Incredible sound and engaging performers.

    I researched A LOT of bands throughout our planning process and signed with Stardust after speaking with Hans and Keith as they instilled trust in us receiving the experience that was advertised. The band you see in the videos is the band you get the day of. They deliver on what they commit to and brought incredible energy to the dancefloor.

    Stardust band played a pivotal part in the most joyful and fun day of our lives! As the bride, the only song I didn't dance to the entire night was the mother/son dance =). Highly recommend Stardust!

    The Stardust Band's reply:

    Thanks so much for your excellent review, Natalie! - We are so glad to have been part of your special day. - It was such a pleasure working with you and your terrific crowd - wishing you and your family all the best!

    Outstanding, Professional, Fun Band

    This band was outstanding from beginning to end--the music was absolutely outstanding and they kept people on the dance floor all night. The music also was so fantastic for all generations--they really found a way to connect with everyone so we didn't see anyone dwindle from dancing all night. Also, they collaborated with other musicians we had that evening and really made an effort to play our special songs! Additionally--Keith (my point of contact) was like a wedding advisor to me. He really helped me to structure the reception for the best flow, the best guest experience, and to eliminate some of the fussy traditions that weren't my style. I couldn't have been happier and every guest came back to us saying "Wow! That band was unbelievable!" Thanks, Stardust Band!

    The Perfect Wedding Band!

    Keith and the band were fantastic!! It was a pleasure to work with them throughout the wedding planning process. When asked to learn a particular song that was not in their repertoire - they were more than agreeable and performed it beautifully. Our guests were thrilled!!! They were a critical component of what turned out to be a magical wedding. I only wish I had another daughter so that I might book them once again - I wouldn't hesitate

    The Stardust Band's reply:

    Thank you, Lyn, for your kind words! It was such a pleasure to work with you and your family. Indeed, I agree, a magical wedding - beautiful venue, weather, food, and a wonderful group of people! - All the best to you and your family!

    Book The Stardust Band Right Away!

    Do NOT wait - book the Stardust Band right away for your wedding or next big event! I have always dreamed of having a large wedding band, and the Stardust Band did not disappoint! They kept the dance floor packed and the energy up the entire night - the guests were raving about them. My family loves music and enjoys dancing, so we knew we had to select a band that could entertain everyone, young, old & everyone in between - and this band brings it! Not to mention, Keith Kostick was a joy to work with! He's attentive, responsive, and knows what he is talking about! You absolutely trust him to deliver first class entertainment from start to finish. He understands a good wedding flow, and will assist you with something that works perfectly for your reception. He was accommodating when we wanted to work in some Persian dance music, as well as when we asked him to play overtime (the guests did not want them to stop!). Keith and his team are the very best, and we can't thank them enough!

    The Stardust Band's reply:

    Thank you so much, Taylor-Marie, for your wonderfully kind words. I so enjoyed working with you and Aryan through the planning process - I had a great time too! The band loved performing for your fantastic crowd - such a lovely evening - thanks again, and all the best to you and your family!!

    Stardust was the highlight of our event!

    Stardust was the highlight of our event. I cannot say enough about them. Keith Kostick was organized and made the preparations easy, and the players were the ultimate in professionalism. Stardust plays a range of music, and we had asked for dance music from the 1980s to the present. They had our guests on their feet from beginning to end, encouraged by Charles Clark leaping off the stage and interacting with the guests while he was singing. Cecila Colucci was the lead femail vocalist, and it is easy to see why she has such a stellar reputation in the Boston area.

    Because of the size of the venue and the 500 guests, we had the full 8-membe band. Musicians Brian, Michael, Lionel, Bill and Adam (not sure I have all the names correct) played beautifully together. Very impressive to have sax, drums, keyboard, guitar, bass, et al: exceeded the organizers’ and guests’ expectations. I highly recommend Stardust, and look forward to working with them again in future.

    The Stardust Band's reply:

    Thank you so much, Stephanie, for your kind words. The pleasure was all ours! - It was wonderful to work with you and your team, and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves performing for your terrific crowd!

    A wedding reception we will always remember

    Band for our wedding

    We’re so happy we chose Star Dust as our wedding band! Their talent and energy made the celebration so amazing, and our guests were blown away. Keith was a pleasure to work with and to help us with planning. They even surprised us by performing our favorite song that they had learned specifically for us! Would highly recommend!

    The Stardust Band's reply:

    Thank you so much, Candace! We had such a great time performing for you and your amazing crowd, and it was such a pleasure working with you and your family...! All the best of luck to you and Andrew and please don't be a stranger!

    Amazing band!

    Stardust is absolutely the best band out there! They made our wedding so extra special. Right from the start the band was so accommodating. They even learned some new songs that I wanted played. The reception was so lively and the band was amazing at getting the crowd going. We are still getting compliments about how amazing the music was. I would HIGHLY recommend Stardust for your wedding, you will not be disappointed! Thank you Stardust for helping to make our wedding perfect!

    The Stardust Band's reply:

    Thank you, Jenn, for your terrific review! I so enjoyed working with you and your family, and it was our pleasure to be part of your celebration - the band had so much fun with your fantastic crowd...!
    All The Best of Luck, Keith

    Incredible

    If I could give them 10 stars I would! From the pre-planning calls and emails with Keith to day-of vocals, instruments and all around vibe, I cannot say enough good things about The Stardust Band. They were extremely professional and responsive on the front end and truly went above and beyond to make our wedding day the most memorable, fun, perfect experience we could have ever hoped for. Aside from all of that, they sounded AMAZING! We had countless guests tell us it was the best band they had ever heard at a wedding. The only thing I can say is that I wish they could have played for longer.

    We actually used them for all phases of our wedding. There was acoustic guitar at the ceremony - where they played all the songs we wanted ("I Get By With a Little Help From My Friends", "Isn't She Lovely?" and "Here Comes the Sun"); there was a jazz trio during cocktail hour; and there was a full band for the remainder of the night. They made sure to play all the songs we wanted, including the specific versions that we had requested (duet version of "You're All I Need to Get By" - which we had as our wedding song - and "Your Love" by the Outfield which was a massive hit). They perfectly judged the crowd and played everything from Frank Sinatra to Bon Jovi to Whitney Houston to Walk The Moon. I would recommend them to anyone and everyone.

    Side note. A friend of my mom's who is a professional jazz singer recommended them to us. We trusted her, and actually booked them without seeing them in person first. After we had booked them, we went to see them in person with my parents. We then all came to realize that the main female singer was the same female singer that was in my parents wedding band (over 30 years ago). Complete coincidence! I say this only to reiterate how respected this band is in the industry. The only way you have staying power like that is to be incredible and they definitely are.

    The Stardust Band's reply:

    Thanks so much for your kind words, Christina! It was such a pleasure working with you and Tom - Congratulations and all the best of luck - I hope our paths will cross again soon...!

    Blown away!

    My husband and I found Stardust after researching bands for our wedding online. We could see how fun and talented they were from the videos we saw and we felt assured that they would be great based on all of the amazing reviews we read. Booking Stardust was the BEST decision! We wanted a wedding where everyone, young and old, was on the dance floor all night. Our family and friends have not stopped RAVING about the band – so many people told us that they have not been to a more fun wedding and haven’t danced as much as they did at our wedding. Keith, the band leader, was extremely helpful in the planning process. He was so genuine and friendly and he provided useful suggestions, but also ensured that our requests were met and favorite songs were incorporated throughout the night. Keith and the band know how to set the tone and the flow for a night that keeps everyone up and having a blast. It was a perfect mix of oldies/classics and new hits that appealed to the whole room. We had a fairly large wedding of over 200 people and I will never forget looking around throughout the night and seeing the dance floor overflowing. We decided to add a half hour more at the last minute because everyone was having so much fun and Stardust accommodated without batting an eye. The band also learned a song that wasn’t on their song list for our first dance and completely nailed it. Stardust is 100% worth the money; we have no regrets and would not change a thing. We hope we have a reason to throw a big party again someday so we can hire them again!

    Stardust absolutely killed it at our wedding! It was great working with them from start to finish. There's obviously a ton of planning that goes into weddings in general, but working with Keith and the rest of the Stardusters was easy and stress-free throughout the entire process. Their actual performance at our wedding was all-time, an exceptionally talented group of true professionals!

    We love Stardust Band!

    I would 100% recommend The Stardust Band to a friend. They eased all of my wedding planning nerves. We talked through everything multiple times before our wedding and were super flexible (considering we lived across the country)! They were friendly, professional and even were willing to learn new songs that we wanted played that weren't on their song list. Everyone had a blast dancing the night away at our wedding and I owe that to the band! They were high energy and even let the father of the bride get up there and play a song himself : )

    Best wedding band out there

    It's almost limiting to say this is the best "wedding band" out there. They are simply one of the best bands on the scene today - period. I'm a professional musician with over forty years experience. That's why my daughter gave me the green light to pick the band for her wedding. The Stardust Band has the most extensive song list in the business. But for me, the best thing about them is that each and every musician in the band is a high level, highly accomplished professional. No prima donnas here. Just solid players who are eager to please. Basically, they are a band of all stars.

    My wife, Catherine, and I had seen Stardust perform in a non-wedding event and knew they were good...but WOW!!!!...they blew us away at our wedding. Keith handled the pre-reception meetings with such professionalism we had one less thing to worry about. During our reception they played the right song at the right time every time. Having a male and female vocalist truly opens up the playlist...unlimited song choices!! Our first dance song choice...Amazing!! The father daughter dance...Incredible!! The mother son dance...an ABBA song by the way...Blew us away!! Your guests will dance the night away with so much fun and energy if Stardust is playing your event. Five Stars Indeed!!

    Stardust was an amazing band. All of our guests approached my wife and I and exclaimed how great the band was. We originally saw Stardust at another friends wedding, and we loved them there. The band had many great suggestions on the flow of the evening, and they made every effort to accommodate all of our requests. And most importantly they are all extremely talented musicians, and very entertaining!

    The Stardust Band is the BEST in Boston! They entertained our large group and had the dance floor packed the entire time. If we are in Boston again and need entertainment, the Stardust Band is first group we will call! Don't pass up the opportunity to have them at your event.

    Keith who manages the band was fantastic, All the musicians and singers were extremely versatile.
    Nobody was sitting down from the first note they played. Kept everyone on their feet the entire night. They played multiple genre and the horns definitely make a big difference. I would highly recommend them.

    Incredible night thanks to Keith and the Stardust band. Easy to work with, incredible musicians, and kept the dance floor moving and grooving all night! Excellent band with rave reviews from all our guests. Thanks!!

    Keith Kostick is an amazing bandleader--the charts are extensive and the talent in the band is showstopping extraordinary. Stardust made it the best night ever in our family life.
