Who are Young Love & The Thrills?
Boston Magazine’s Best of Weddings, 2022 Band of the Year.
Think a wedding can’t feel like a concert? Guess again! When this beloved eight-person band takes the stage, the party absolutely reaches a new level! Thanks to Young Love’s high energy, killer vocals, creative mashups and medleys, and songs spanning the tastes of every attendee from Grandma to teenage cousins, they keep even the most timid of dancers up and moving (and singing) all night long. Young Love is not your average wedding band, they are a concert in a bottle and party on tap!
Young Love and the Thrills is also turning into the launchpad band of Boston, with more and more members and former members doing major things in the music industry! Whether it’s being a finalist on NBC’s The Voice, touring the world with Noah Kahan, or headlining jazz festivals with Arturo Sandoval, Young Love musicians can be seen everywhere!!! In 2023 Young Love musicians appeared on SNL, the main stage of Boston Calling, NBC’s The Voice on Team Legend, BBC Live Lounge, and of course at dozens of weddings and private events.
What does Young Love always provide?
Unlike many of our contemporaries, Young Love and The Thrills is a full-time line up of musicians, playing every show as the same band, all year long. The ensemble consists of our two powerhouse vocalists up front (male and female lead vocalists), drums, keyboard, guitar, bass, tenor saxophone, and trumpet, as well as emcee services for your introductions and speeches for your wedding or private party.
Our all new, state of the art sound system, is both powerful and robust, using in-ear monitors to cut back on feed back while pumping the right amount of low end thump from the bass and kick, while the vocals smack you just right. Additionally, our highly trained audio technicians are there the whole day and night to make sure everything is crisp and clear, providing a concert level performance and presentation through a sound system that no one else in Boston or New England can offer.
We're hipper than you probably need us to be...
What we sound like!
What are people saying?
“As a bride I dreamt of a day full of love, laughter and excitement for our wedding. I would love to take the credit for the awesome outcome of our big day but I have to give it up to the performance of this band for sending our guests home buzzing with exhilaration for the wedding they just attended. There are a few outstanding points I need to elaborate on; their song choices and medleys were unique and creative and kept the whole party dancing; their set list perked the ears of all ages; guests sitting near the stage were able to experience the music but still carry on a conversation; the band’s professionalism made the day-of details run smoothly. The band engaged our guests right away with the announcements and they never let the wedding forget they were attending a once-in-a-lifetime concert to celebrate our young love. I believe our guests are still talking about it!”
