We SpeechLess to play at a fundraising event for our non-profit. We had them play jazz music in the background during our reception and more upbeat music with vocals during dinner. They were incredibly flexible and easy to work with from start to finish--even leading up to and after the event. All of the musicians were friendly and professional with our staff and guests. Our guests loved the music and we would definitely hire them again in the future!

Thank you for your kind words, Jennie. It was great working with you, and we look forward to more in the future! -Julie
Choosing Speechless to provide a DJ for our wedding was an absolute game-changer. From our first meeting, their team demonstrated professionalism and an incredible understanding of our musical preferences. The entire experience, from personalized playlists to seamless transitions, exceeded our expectations.
One thing that truly stood out was that it felt like the right balance between classic and current hits was spot on. It was important to my fiance (now husband!) that our parents felt involved without our friends getting bored with oldies and Speechless made it a memorable celebration for everyone involved. The dance floor was always alive, the energy was electric, and it never waned throughout the night. I wholeheartedly recommend Speechless.

I can't stop thinking about the party we had and speechless truly made it happen! This band knows how to play to a crowd, everyone keeps talking about THE BAND a month later!
Party Band
Literally, SpeechLess blew me away! The horns were the highlight of the night at our company gala, it was what everyone was talking about the next day. They knew when to be background and when to kick things up into an appropriate "corporate party mode", not over-the-top, the perfect amount of energy to elevate the atmosphere to facilitate a fun night for employees. Highly recommended!
Jazz Band
Speechless was an amazing addition to our wedding! They mastered the custom songs and were such a fun part of the cocktail hour. I highly highly recommend them!

Thanks a ton Emma, we had a great time on Martha's Vineyard playing for everyone!!!
I wanted to find an amazing band for my company's holiday party and SpeechLess went above and beyond what I could've hoped for! I really can't say enough about how professional and easy to work with Scott and the rest of the band members were, especially because this was a semi-corporate setting.
Besides choosing low-key music during the dinner hour of our event, we asked them to go ahead and play what they felt was best. Scott checked in multiple times to see if everything was going well and whether they should change up the tempo, but they really just read the crowd so well that I didn't even have to worry about it. We had two incredible vocalists, a bassist, guitarist, saxophone and drummer. The vocalists and sax player joined the crowd a couple times and it really encouraged more people to get up and dance.
Our employees range from early twenties to sixty plus years old, and everyone was dancing at some point and complimenting the band constantly. I can't say enough good things about them and plan to recommend them to anyone I know who is looking for a band. Seriously amazing! Thanks to Scott and the rest of SpeechLess for making our holiday party one to remember!

Speechless performed at my husbands recent retirement celebration and they were awesome! I requested a number of tunes and not only did they accommodate my ecclectic interest, but they also did a great job performing. We were so pleased. Thank you to Scott and crew for their flexibility and for enhancing our event.

Response from SpeechLess:
Thank you for the kind words, Nancy! It was our pleasure to be included as part of the event and to help make it so successful. I hope he's already enjoying retirement! -Scott
We had two Speechless performers at our Wine and Whiskey tasting and they were perfect. The selection of music was just what we were looking for and they were such a pleasure to work with. They are able to be so flexible which was exactly what we needed since the space we had available was small. I highly recommend them and will be booking them again in the future! Thank you!

Hi Molly,
Thank you for the kind words! I'm so glad you enjoyed the performance. We look forward to working with you again!
-Julie
Scott and the folks with SpeechLess were absolutely terrific. They were very quick to respond to our request for a quote, willing to adapt the number of musicians to fit out budget, and incredibly easy going the day of our fundraiser. While the business end was easy, and the guys were all very friendly and interacted with our guests, the actual musical talent was the star. The music selection was perfect for the setting and the volume fit the room. Even more than the location, food and auction items, we received a lot of compliments on the music. A job well done. We will definitely hire SpeechLess again if the need arises.

Response from SpeechLess:
Thank you, Nikki! We look forward to working with you again. -Scott
Speechless recently played at my wedding (ceremony, cocktail hour, AND reception) - they are incredibly versatile musicians, playing a beautiful classical duo processional for the ceremony, creative and enjoyable jazz music during the cocktail hour, and funky, fun party tunes for our reception, getting the crowd involved and making the event a great success. Scott, the band leader, was very accommodating, and worked with my wife and I to make sure that he understood exactly what we were looking for. The results were beyond what we could have hoped for. They even learned some songs for us, and allowed me to come up and play drums with them onstage for an Earth Wind and Fire medley. We have consistently been told by guests that Speechless was the best band (not wedding band...Band!) that they've seen live. Additionally, we've already had requests from guests and friends looking for their contact information for future engagements. Speechless is truly excellent and were a pleasure to work with. We cannot recommend them enough for any event. Thank you Scott and band!

We hired a jazz duo from Speechless to play at our SongEat - a meet and greet/rehearsal dinner the night before our June 7th wedding. It was such a gift to have them with us. They provided such energy and movement to our event -- with guests swaying to their tunes while enjoying delicious food/drinks + conversation. We are so happy with Speechless and would recommend them without hesitation!
Jazz Band
With timeless classics and crowd favorites SpeechLess had the Fenway Faithful rip and roaring before and hits were generated in the Sox game. Consummate professionals, I recommend SpeechLess to any and all promoters.

Speechless Jazz put on a fantastic show for our members! their song selection was great, and i've been hearing nothing but positive reviews ever since they performed.
Pop Music, Saxophone Player, Jazz Band
Speechless Jazz played at my gala fundraiser last week, and they were a huge hit. It was the perfectly fun vibe that we wanted to add to the event. One guest, who uses a walker, was dancing to the music at one point. Scott and his band were very professional and nice, and were great about communicating back and forth with me both before the event and during.
I hope to work with them again soon!
Jazz Band
SpeechLess performed classical pieces during the ceremony and fun music for the cocktail hour. Our friends and family were dancing up a storm during the cocktail hour before the reception even started and the guys were having a great time interacting and playing all requests. They were the most talked about part of the whole wedding. Our only regret was that we had to take photos during the cocktail hour!!!!
Classical Duo
Thank you SO much for playing at our wedding. The guests absolutely loved you guys...it added such a wonderful touch to our beach wedding ceremony. The violin and guitar combo was absolutely perfect and everyone was amazed at how you transformed the songs we wanted for the procession and recession. We had nothing but compliments on the background music during the cocktail hour as well. Can't wait to hear you play again in the Boston area!!
Violinist
Scott and the band are consummate professionals. Leading up to the wedding Scott was attentive and accommodating, willing to learn new songs (some of which were very difficult) and most importantly, he was excited. Not only does the band portray extreme talent and technical professionalism, but it is clear they were having fun while playing, and their excitement made a huge difference in the atmosphere of the night. They were able to perform several different sets, an acoustic trio/quartet during the cocktail hour, during dinner, and through the post dinner reception. The set list they were able to play was the widest range I had ever seen at a wedding; ranging from contemporary pop/dance anthems and funk tunes to classic ballads. Scott and the band brought their own ideas to the table that complemented what my wife and I wanted, and everything fit perfectly. After the wedding the feedback I've gotten from every attendee was that this was easily the best group of musicians anyone had ever seen at a wedding, and it's absolutely true. Watching them perform together it was clear they were excited to be there, were having fun, and were passionate about what they were playing. At one point during one of the slower numbers there were two folks who were without a dance partner. Two of the band members took it upon themselves to ask the girls without a date to a dance and it completely made their night. Again, not something required or expected, but showed them once again exceeding expectations.
A good portion of my family are involved in music either directly or indirectly; several play instruments, several are in bands etc...and for a good portion of the evening there was a good amount of people just watching in awe at the technical skill and raw talent of the band. Watching closely you can tell they are all classically trained, and you'd think they would have been playing together for 10+ years at least.
Again I want to reiterate how special this band is, and how incredibly happy we stumbled upon them. They made the night unforgettable and special in a way that any other band could absolutely never do.

We hired a string duo from Speechless Music for a corporate cocktail party at the beginning of June. This was an event for our clients, so we wanted everything to go perfectly.
From start to finish everything involving Speechless Music was terrific. They responded quickly to our request, included all the relevant information about their prices, song list, and the available musicians. They answered our questions quickly and provided links to example of their playing for us to review.
I was an hour early to the venue and Scott and Jacob from Speechless were there before I was. They handled the set-up and were professional throughout- even answering questions from our clients during one of their breaks. They were dressed professionally.
Last but not least- the music was spectacular. These are talented musicians with the ability to read the room and provide the music and the sound level that was needed. We had spoken only briefly about what I was looking for, and yet every time I looked up, they were playing another perfect song. The room was set-up so that the music was one of the first things our clients heard as they came in, and it was a perfect introduction to our evening and set the stage for a relaxed but fun night.
I would absolutely hire Speechless again and I would refer them without hesitation.
Classical Duo
Speechless did an amazing job at our corporate event. They played the upbeat, recognizable songs we requested and had a great time while doing it. They arrived on time in an organized fashion and even continued playing when our next entertainer was having some sound issues. Speechless is composed of incredibly talented musicians who are also very nice, easygoing people to work with. I would highly recommend this group for future events!!

I'm so happy we went with what we wanted, because you guys were able to execute it perfectly. The different vibe and talent was recognized by our guests. Thank you so much. My only regret is I wish I heard more, as I was hiding away for some of the time! Thank you!”
