July 6, 2019 Wedding (Isabel gave the following review on The Knot):
HIRE THEM!!! Do it! Every single one of our guests raved about how amazing the band was. We had such difficulty getting our guests to sit during dinner service because all they wanted to do was get up on the dance floor. Carmine had to ask our guests to sit down to eat dinner because everyone just wanted to dance. Carmine was also so amazing to work with leading up to our wedding, talking through our songs for our various dance, ceremony, etc. He is so organized and made the night PERFECT!

Rachel & John sent the following via snail mail (yes, people still write!)
"First off, you guys were amazing!! I can't even begin to tell you how many people came up to me and were raving about you. You read the crowd perfectly and played songs that were great for all ages. I loved looking around the dance floor and seeing my grandparents dance along with younger kids. Thank you for making our wedding day so memorable!"

Liz said on Wedding Wire in December 2016... We first saw the Carmine Band play up in the Portland area. They were so much fun - lively, a range of skills and instruments given it's an 8 piece band, with music for all generations. We are excited to party with them for our wedding next fall! And Dan, now her husband, added today (Sept. 5): "Carmine, I want to thank you on behalf of Liz and I for the terrific evening. Everything was perfect and let me extend the compliments of the many wedding guests who talked about how fantastic and fun the band was. Thank you again, Dan" |

"Hi Carmine, I know we said this the other night, but we want to tell you once again how fabulous you and your band were. It was by far the best wedding reception ever. You'll be happy to know the Long Islanders, and other New Yorkers were equally impressed with all of you. Many of them had never been to Maine. You topped off their experience. Also, I have to say our bar bill came in far lower than expected. That has to be because you kept everyone on the dance floor. LOL Thank you, thank you over again for the wonderful entertainment you provided. Colleen and Tim, and Dave and I, will always remember it." Thank you Becky & Dave! [parents of the bride] |

Carmine and his band are the best! He bent over backwards to accommodate our schedule, and played a wonderful mixture of oldies and contemporary tunes. Our party was at 5 and the band was at the venue early in the day setting up and getting ready. There is a wonderful camaraderie among the players, the horns are outstanding and the female singer was a delight. Book 'em!

Having a live band truly makes a difference and it was my wedding "must-have"! The Carmine Terracciano Band is THE BEST around and worth every penny. All of the guests loved the band and could not stop praising the musicians and female singer. Carmine is great to work with and does all of the announcements like a champ! They played an hour of cocktail music while the wedding party was taking pictures (think Frank Sinatra, Etta James), did the exact songs we picked out for the traditional dances, and kept the dance floor packed all night!! I highly recommend the Carmine Terracciano band for anyone's wedding or special event!

I can't say enough about how amazing The Carmine Terracciano Band is! They played our wedding and helped make it absolutely perfect! Not only are they an amazing band with the perfect mix of instruments and vocals but Carmine was also great to work with leading up to our big day! He had great suggestions on details to add to our dances and also learned a few songs for us so we could make the evening extra special! I would highly recommend this band to anyone and will absolutely look to use them again!

The Carmine Band was perhaps the best part of our reception! The dance floor was packed from start to finish and they played a great mix of genres that had multiple generations partying together (even my Wife's 92-year-old Grandmother!). They have a feel for the crowd and know what to play in the right moment to keep the party going. Very talented crew with a really full sound (loved the horns), we had so much fun and I would highly recommend them to anyone considering having a band play their reception.

Carmine went over what specific music we wanted. They provided cocktail hour background music and when dinner was done, they got the dance floor hoppin'. Carmine really listened when I told him we didn't want to be "stranded" during our first dance. He had our guests surround us for the first bit, and then invited all of them to join us partway through the dance. It was perfect!! I guess the best compliment came from my 31 year old daughter. She wished we had hired a DJ until she heard the band. She couldn't stop raving about how the singer made her voice sound "just like the original artist." I give the Carmine Band my highest praise. Just so you know, I am a professional musician myself. This band rocked!!

One word says it all. ENERGY! The Carmine Band brings it! We hired the Carmine Band to provide music for our wedding reception, and the experience was unforgettable. Even before the festivities, The Carmine Band made it a priority to meet with us to discuss our needs, and made the whole planning process a breeze! They were receptive to our ideas, and offered suggestions that would make the big day the best it could possibly be for everyone. On the day of the wedding, the band arrived on time, and setup quickly and efficiently. The introductions were smooth, and the dinner music provided a relaxing atmosphere. The Carmine Band even went above and beyond in learning songs that we specifically requested for the traditional dances, which added a memorable touch to the reception. As the evening went on, the band played an excellent mix of modern and classic songs; intertwining upbeat dance music, and songs that we know and love to slow dance to! The dance floor was packed from start to finish, and by the looks on guests faces, it was clear that everyone was really enjoying the party! From start to finish the Carmine Band provided a top notch experience, at a reasonable price. Almost a year after our wedding, when we visit with folks and reminisce about our special celebration, it's not the flowers, the dinner, or even the home made beer that they talk about...it's the band!
