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 are people saying?
“We had these guys play our wedding and I saw something I would never in a million years have expected. EVERYONE there – from parents to friends, from parents’ friends to extended family from young cousins to elderly grandparents – danced essentially from start to finish. To this day (more than a year later), every time our wedding comes up, people say it was one of the most fun weddings they’ve ever been to. And I credit the band. Amazing song selections, incredible energy, fabulous sense of humor, all combined to make them a band I would hire for any future event.”
