Wavelength has a new video

We have been working on putting a video clip together for some time now. With all of the weddings we do, Wavelength was in hopes of capturing bits of the band performing as well as some of our notorious dance crowds, however as luck would have it, we have not worked with many videographers during our wedding season so we've put together a short 2-minute video from our New Year's ball in Portland. In this video, Wavelength showcases a glimpse of the first four songs of the night to give potential clients a view of the band in action. We work with many out-of-state brides and grooms who are not able to view the band in Maine so we hope this helps you get a better feel for the band in this short clip. If you are looking for more videos from Wavelength, please visit our page on youtube by searching for TheWavelengthBand, contact us for more links or scroll down our blog for more information on videos.

More songs from live recording

Here's another sample of songs that Wavelength recorded live on New Year's Eve. Don't mind the popping sounds you hear. Some of these songs were recorded after the balloon drop at the stroke of midnight where hundreds of balloons fell to the dance floor among two hundred party goers. Sid Tripp's Black Cat Ball was a lot of fun! We enjoyed ringing in the new year with our fans, clients and many new friends. Enjoy the clips!

The Knot Best of Weddings 2011 Pick

Wavelength named top pick in The Knot Best of Weddings 2011 on theknot.com, the number-one wedding resource that's most trusted by brides.

The Knot Best of Weddings 2011 provides a “by brides, for brides” guide to the top wedding professionals across the country, and is a must-have when it comes to selecting the best-of-the-best wedding resources. From New York florists and Seattle bridal salons to DC makeup artists, engaged couples will find detailed feedback on local wedding businesses reviewed by thousands of newlyweds who had great things to say.

"My husband and I recently got married at On The Marsh in Kennebunk, ME this summer. In my whirlwind of wedding planning I asked my then fiance what he wanted most for our day - his answer "A really good live band." In my effort to find just that, I searched from Newport, RI, to Boston, MA, up to Bangor, ME and beyond. Most reviews came up short or just weren't quite what we were looking for until I found Wavelength. Wavelength showcased a great selection of classic songs, along with rock, blues and even some more recent hits. Lead vocalist Kathleen did a spot-on rendition of Etta James' At Last for our first dance and it was beautiful. And during dinner while the band was setting up, one of their gutarists played solo for our dinner hour - a wonderful bonus! The band has amazing vocals and great energy. They did a perfect job at reading the crowd all night long and playing accordingly. Manager Johnna Dionne was amazing to work with through all the planning and always so quick to respond with either email or phone call. In short I would HIGHLY recommend Wavelength to all newly engaged couples in the Maine, NH, & Massachusetts area!!" Kelly L.Boston, MA

Thanks to our wonderful clients for posting reviews. We are honored to have celebrated with so many amazing couples over the years and can't wait to kick off the 2011 season!

Review from Rachel and Matt

Rachel and Matt planned their Maine wedding from DC and what a wedding it was. Starting with beautiful Maine weather for their Labor Day weekend outdoor wedding in Southwest Harbor and ending with a fantastic dance party, it was truly a memorable day. Rachel shares a review of the band on Wedding Channel and The Knot: Have you ever seen an encore from a wedding band? Wavelength was one of our favorite vendors to work with for our wedding. Johnna is professional, organized and enjoyable throughout the process. Wavelength easily mastered our ceremony just as we imagined, perfectly accented our cocktail hour and then rocked it at our Barn/Dance party. Many of our guests sent US thank you notes for the wedding and specifically called out our awesome band. Thanks, Wavelength!!

Wedding at Point Lookout

It was Wavelength's first time at Point Lookout this summer. What a gorgeous location for a wedding! We were at Popham Beach Saturday August 21st and then made our way to Northport on Sunday the 22nd to celebrate the wedding of Abigail and Ezra. We were thrilled to have the opportunity to play at Point Lookout and even more excited to hear that Allison's sister Abigail wanted Wavelength to perform for her wedding when her Mom called. We performed for Allison's wedding in Camden two years ago. It was a pleasure to work with Russell Caron Photography again too. Although the weather wasn't perfect, the ceremony was held outside as planned. Wavelength kicked off music for dinner and dancing for the reception. We learned something new from Van Morrison for their first dance and had a blast with Hava Nagilia. It was a joy to celebrate with the Endl family again. Congratulations and best wishes!

Spruce Point Inn Wedding

Miranda and Mike had a beautiful setting for their wedding in Boothbay Harbor at Spruce Point Inn September 25th. The Spruce Point Inn is such a nice location for a wedding. We enjoy working with everyone at the Inn. Wavelength performed acoustic guitar for their ceremony and cocktail hour and then entertained for dinner and dancing. Their first dance song from Journey was included in our current play list so we were excited to learn something else to add to our repetoire from Lynyrd Skynryd and the Isley Bros. for them. Miranda, Mike and family were delightful to work with. We wish them all the best.

Jennie and Eric wed at Outlook Farm

Jennie and Eric were wed at the Red Barn at Outlook Farm last month. This was our last wedding of the season. It was a brisque fall day in Southern Maine with lots of color. Jennie did all of the decorating and it looked fantastic. It was Wavelength's first time at Outlook Farm. We performed for Jennie and Eric's ceremony with acoustic guitar and then setup the band in the great room for a fun night of dancing starting off with their first dance with a song from the Zac Brown Band. What a nice couple. We enjoyed celebrating with them. Thank you for chosing Wavelength!


















Here's a copy of their review on Wedding Channel:
My husband and I were thrilled to have Wavelength play at our wedding! We were recently married at the Red Barn at Outlook Farm in South Berwick. I can't tell you how many of our guests raved about how fantastic the band was! Johnna (manager) was fantastic to work with, as well. Just a fantastic overall experience! We can't thank them enough!

New Review on Wedding Channel

Dustin and Lesley were married this past August at the All Saints By The Sea Episcopal Chapel followed by a reception on their private property in Newagen. The view was breathtaking. This was the first trip to Maine for many of their guests. It was a wonderful day. Dustin shared his experience recently on the Wedding Channel in conjunction with The Knot. We wanted to share their story with future brides and grooms considering Wavelength for an upcoming wedding in Maine. Thank you Dusin and Lesley!












Working with Johnna and Wavelength was so effortless. She was in constant communication about our needs and how they could make the event better. We chose Home by Michael Buble as our song. Wavelength did an amazing job on their rendition! We were so happy at how it turned out. Their collection of songs is diverse and covers many eras of music. They were very professional and did a wonderful job with announcements to keep the party rolling smoothly. The music changed according to the crowd which really set the mood throughout the night. We couldnt have asked for a better band to celebrate the night with us. We even recommended them to the local Newagen Inn as a regular band. We have a summer home in Newagen, ME, becuase Johnna, Kathleen and Wavelength far exceeded our expectations,they will be our band of choice for any event in that area in the future. We loved them and highly recommend them to any couple getting married from ME to Mass and beyond!

On the Marsh wedding

We were thrilled to have the opportunity to celebrate Kelly and Jacob's wedding reception with them on such a beautiful day in Kennebunkport, Maine. It was August 28th, the last weekend in August before Labor Day weekend, at On the Marsh Restaurant. What a gorgeous location. It was a wonderful day for a wonderful couple. Kelly and Jacob were a joy to work with. From a solo guitar performance upstairs during dinner following their ceremony and cocktail hour outside to a fantastic night of dancing downstairs, their wedding celebration was picture perfect. They wanted to dance and they did. Thank you for sharing your special day with us and your wonderful review of the band. Many thanks to your photographer for allowing us to use your photos.

Kim and Alex in Freeport

Congratulations to Kim and Alex! We enjoyed a fantastic wedding reception with lots of dancing at the Hilton Garden Inn in Freeport. It was nice to return to the Hilton, they are wonderful to work with. We booked Alex and Kim's wedding earlier this year by phone and then had the opportunity to meet with them aboard Wavelength's music cruise in July. The cruise went by so quickly that they decided to book an extra hour of dancing for their reception in October so that they could enjoy the dancing and they did. What a great dance crowd! It was so nice to work with Kim and Alex, very nice couple. We wish them much happiness.














Kim and Alex'review on Wedding Channel:
We recently had Wavelength as our wedding band and the did an outstanding job. Everyone including my husband and I loved them. They are extremely versatile and very fun. Their play list is extensive and covers decades of music. The fact that they have a male and female vocalist is a huge plus. Each member was very professional and talented. We highly recommend Wavelength for any occasion. THANK YOU Kathleen, Paul, Alex, Paul, Garth & Johnna!

2010 Summer Concert Series

We haven't had much time to post lately but we wanted to start sharing some of our highlights from our 2010 summer season. Thanks to all our clients, friends and family for joining Wavelength at our summer concert series events in June, July and August. Thanks to the organizations and committees for hiring Wavelength as a new or returning performer this year. We are thankful for the opportunity. Unfortunately bad weather interupted our Westbrook Park concert but mostly perfect weather was seen all summer long. We had a great turnout for the Casco Bay Lines annual music cruise. We couldn't have asked for a better time. We enjoyed lots of sun in Freeport, Old Orchard Beach and in Scarborough at the Higgins Beach concert. Here's a new clip from the Higgins Beach concert where Wavelength performs Chain Of Fools.

Rachel and Matt wed in Southwest Harbor

What a fantastic day for a wedding in Southwest Harbor Labor Day weekend here in Maine. From a duo at the Claremont Hotel for the ceremony to a rocking dance party at The Causeway Club, the day was perfect. Congratulations to Rachel and Matt! We are delighted to have had the opportunity to work with Rachel and Matt over the past year to coordinate the various entertainment pieces that they were looking for to cover a 12-hour wedding day. The longest one for Wavelength yet! We knew that they were planning a memorable wedding and we were honored to be a part of it. Thank you to Diane York Weddings and Events for the recommendation. Maine Wedding Photographer and Photojournalist Michele Stapleton captures the day beautifully.

A note from Rachel and Matt: Thanks for the note and all of your awesome help for our wedding. I just hung up with a friend of mine who had some last minute surgery and couldn’t make our wedding. One of the things she said to me was that she “heard the band was awesome!” That means not only were we pleased, but our guests were talking about Wavelength as one of the wedding highlights afterwards. Another friend of mine said the day after, “you know it’s a good time when the band plays an encore --- I’ve never seen that at a wedding before!” Thanks for making this part of our celebration so easy, and so successful. Rach & Matt
We wish you all the best! Congratulations!
