I cannot thank you guys enough for the awesome show on Saturday night! The band that was used last year was a favorite part of everyones weekend. Luckily I can say the same thing about my own class. Not only did I find the band to be a perfect mix of class and fun, but so did everyone I have talked to. I was thrilled that the dance floor was packed from the moment the band started until the last bus left the venue. Please send my thanks to every member of the band. I would love to work with Unity and Murray Hill Talent in the future.
We had Unity play at our August wedding. The band was AWESOME (everyone loved!) and working with Murray Hill was seemless. I cannot even begin to tell you how many people have raved about your performance at our wedding. We could not have asked for better. Your sound and repertoire is top notch, but you guys also know how to work a crowd together - unstoppable Your seem-less transitions kept the party going. I think you'll have about 50 future bookings! Thank you to Murray Hill Talent & Paul for arranging and being on top of everything!

" Thank you ! The music was brilliant, and you kept us all dancing the entire night away! Your band was such an important ingredient in making this wedding such a success!
Jordan & Cecilia - Newagan Seaside Inn-Southport, ME 8/11/12
"Thank YOU so much for making our night even more special. Max and I (and all of our guests) cannot stop talking about how incredible the band was. We had the most amazing time, and we thoroughly enjoyed working with you and getting to know you and the other band members. Max and I joke that someday we will have a wedding-reunion party and hire Unity again:) Will keep you posted on that!"
Amanda @ Max - Lyman Estate 8/4/12
"We used the Murray Hill band Unity for our wedding and it was one of the best decisions we made throughout the planning process. The band was so high-energy and talented and had the dance floor packed for hours. Communicating with them in advance was easy and they did a great job of anticipating the type of music our guests would enjoy and keeping everyone happy. The band learned a song for our first dance which sounded amazing - they are by far one of the better wedding bands we've seen. We also used a few different MH musicians during our dinner (it was in a different location than dancing) which worked out great as well. We just got back from our honeymoon last night and I had three emails/messages from friends asking for the name of the band/company to use themselves or forward on to friends getting married in the area. Unity and Cory, our contact at MH are all top-notch, wonderful to work with and sure to make you a happy bride!"
Boston Public Library , 2012
They were amazing" We contracted the band Unity to play our wedding last weekend through Murray Hill Talent, and they were FABULOUS. Literally all of the 175 guests at our wedding were dancing the whole night, even though it was amazing hot. The band was extremely tight, the singers were great, and the band was really good at choosing which song to play when. They really made the night!! Even many friends and family members who are notorious non-dancers were on the floor! Thanks again for everything, and although their audios speak for themselves, please let us know if Unity ever needs a reference"
David Horrigan, 3/17/12 Nahant Country Club, wedding
"Excellent !! Nothing short of excellent !! I've been meaning to drop Murray Hill Talents a note for a quite some time. We are three months past our holiday event, but to this day people comment on what a successful event it was. Top of the list for things they enjoyed most was the band Unity. The band did a marvelous job of sensing what the crowd wanted, providing it and then giving it all they had to keep people on the floor. It was a great night.
As for working with Murray Hill Talent generally, you made the planning easy and effortless. From the initial interaction with Tom to Corin's on-site presence (and music ! ) at the event. They showed the utmost in professionalism and certainly delivered in terms of customer satisfaction.
We have not yet started our planning for our next holiday party, but you can be assured that when we do, Murray Hill Talent and Unity will be (again) at the top of the list! Thanks, ever so much !!
P.S. and yes, were all spreading the word ! Feel free to pass on my name and number for references."
Jacki Cleere - The Monitor Group 12/16/11 The Taj-Boston, MA
"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!"

" We had used Murray Hill the previous year at our daughter's wedding. Murray Hill went beyond the call of duty as far as performing professionally, with enthusiasm and with the talent that we had wanted"
Ann Leaver, Wedding, Hamiliton Hall, Salem, MA 10/9/11
Unity was AMAZING. wed never seen them perform, so we werent sure what to expect, but they blew us away! Our guests could not stop raving about the band which kept everyone on the dance floor all night. The lead singer has a truly beautiful voice and the band is extremely talented. We could not have been happier with Murray Hill Talent !
Joanna Kuo, 10/8/11 wedding, Boston Public Library

Jenn Marcotte, 9/4/11, Charlestown Navy Yard-Charlestown, MA
“Everything about Unity was amazing. They literally made my wedding as fun as it could possibly be. The music was great and their interaction with the guests was fun yet not cheesy. They were everything I could have asked for from a band”

Lindsay L’Heureux, 9/24/11 Belle Mer-Newport, RI
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
They were great and we and guests are still raving about them today"
Kevin Sheppard, Wedding 8/19/11 Wequassett Inn-Chatham, MA
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.
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
We had an amazing time at our wedding. unity kept people dancing all night long! Thank you so much!
