"WOW…that’s about all I can say about Unity. They were absolutely spectacular!! The lead singer got our entire crowd dancing. He was extraordinary. The band was just awesome…great voices, great enthusiasm and played the perfect music sets. Our holiday party was complete because of Unity. Several employees came up to me asking for their contact information. Thanks again for setting us up with them."
Lori Connolly, Marketing Director, Lyon-Waugh Auto Group Holiday Party, Peabody, MA 12/3/11

"The event was fabulous and the band was terrific. Everyone there could not stop praising the band. Thanks a lot for everything!"
Ghazai Kalia, "All Bright World Night" Fundraiser Allston, MA 11/4/11

All I can say, simply, is UNITY BROUGHT THE HOUSE DOWN The band was a delight, every single person has commented on how wonderful they were...nothing run of the mill about the talent! Please, please thank all of them for Tony and I, It was truly the best night of my life!
Laurie Reid, Wedding 8/20/11 Carnegie Abby-Portsmouth, RI
We were delighted with Unity for the event... they were really good! The type of music they played was most enjoyable - lots of numbers that the guests recognised. I would have no hesitation in booking Unity for another event in the future.
Catherine Leydon, Pioneer Global Investments event, 3/17/11 State Room, Boston
Just wanted to send a quick note to thank you for making our wedding one that will be talked about for years! Ron provided the perfect ceremony music for us and the band was absolutely phenomenal. We were so happy to see everyone on the dance floor; from our friends to our much older relatives. Our guests kept asking how we found such a great band! As you know a band can really make a wedding and Unity made our wedding amazing! It was a pleasure working with all of you - many thanks again.
Amanda & Rob King, 8/21/10 wedding, Barn at Gibbet Hill, Groton, MA
I want to thank the band for an outstanding performance at my son's wedding this past Saturday, July 24th in RI. People were on the dance floor from song one. We have many young people in our family that have already declared Unity our family band for future weddings. I enjoyed every minute! It was a perfect night!
Deborah Landry, 7/24/10 wedding, Squantum Association, Providence, RI
The band was unbelievable last night! Absolutely killed it! Everyone danced the entire night. Please pass along all my praise, they really made the night. And "Don't Let Go" set it off perfectly, they nailed it!
Jeb & Lisa Burrows, 7/10/10, Private Residence, S. Dartmouth, MA
I cannot thank you enough for totally rockin our wedding . Our family and friends are still talking about how great you guys were!! Everyone had a blast, and it was in great part to you and the other band members. Thank you so much!!
Rachel Sanders & Christian Wiese, 6/5/10, New England Aquarium
Unity had our guests on the dance floor until the hotel turned the lights on! Our guests ranged in age from elementary school to grandparents and everyone enjoyed the variety of music and energy Unity provided. Our guests are still talking about how great they were!
Jennifer (Sandler) Slemrod, 10/24/09 Renaissance Hotel Boston
Unity was fantastic – they kept the dance floor packed all night and we heard so many rave reviews from our guests. We live overseas, so we booked the band without having seen them live (we chose based on their song list, online reviews, and video), so we were hoping they would live up to our expectations. They definitely delivered, and then some -- their energy was amazing, and they played a great range of music! Overall, we were thrilled with Unity’s performance, and their performance made our reception!
Elise & John Borrelli, 9/26/09 wedding, Ocean Edge, Brewster, MA
We found the agency online and were impressed with the rave reviews as well as the clientele. The dance floor as packed from the moment Unity started playing! You really set the tone of our wedding and even managed to keep my husband dancing the ENTIRE night. Thank you for helping to make our day absolutely perfect.
Tina Conarroe, VH1, 9/6/09 Regatta Place, Newport, RI
The band was great and kept people dancing all night, I think that the band really "made" our wedding! They sounded wonderful and the band themselves were great to work with. The agent himself was great and always helpful during the planning process.
Amanda & Peter Lawrence, 7/11/09 Museum of Science, Boston, MA
The event was terrific. The band was great -- the dance floor was packed from the moment they took the stage until the last song. We asked the bandleader to make several announcements and he was very obliging.
Amy Rudnick,6/27/09 Jacob’s Pillow Dance Theater - Season Opening Gala 6/20/09
I wanted to let you know that Unity was AMAZING!!!! They were so much fun and the dance floor was packed all night!!! They definitely made my night and I am still receiving compliments on how great the band was!!! I can't thank you enough for making my wedding PERFECT!!!! Please let them know that we are so grateful!
Jeramy Johnson and Jeff Thomas, 10/24/08 Wedding, Ocean Edge Resort, Brewster, MA
Unity was the perfect band for our wedding. Everyone had a blast (including our minister)! Great vibe! Everyone has been asking who they were or saying how great they were.
Annelise Sorensen, 8/16/08 wedding, Sippican Tennis Club, Marion, MA
John and I wanted to thank you all and especially Unity for such a fabulous performance at our wedding on July 13th in Groton, CT. Since we've returned from the honeymoon, we have received numerous calls and emails telling us how spectacular the band was. Our guests had a blast and didn't want to leave the dance floor. This was exactly the point and definitely the kind of atmosphere we were after. Thank you again for making our wedding one for the books!
Kristen & John Spytek, 7/13/08 wedding, Branford House, Groton, CT
