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!

New Year new songs

Wavelength had a wonderful night ringing in the new year at the Italian Heritage Center in Portland. Thanks to all who joined us. We've jumped right into 2010 with plans underway for an exciting year. We're starting off with a number of new songs to add to our repetoire this year including songs from the 80s, new motown selections and current hits all planned for the next practice. We enjoy learning new songs and are always open to suggestions. Open Arms by Journey was added for bride and groom Beth and Rich which we recorded live on New Year's Eve.
