My friends and I have frequented Cathay Pacific over the years and (being a musician) have checked out the bands nearly every weekend. I have to say that we have NEVER seen the place packed to the rafters like it was last month and again this month when this band played there. There was actually standing room only and they had everybody on the dance floor, participating and enjoying all of the music. Whenever you guys are back, we'll be there and I highly recommend everyone to check them out. The best band they've had there in a long, long time! - Dave, Samantha & the rest of the crew -
Paul, I just wanted to thank you guys for making my wedding hands down the best night in my life! You guys are way beyond what I had expected, and I don't think my guests have ever danced so hard in their lives (I know that was true for me since my legs are still sore!) The Pulse is absolutely amazing, and we appreciate you guys being a part of a night we will never forget. All the best, Risa & Colin - Risa Chae, Vice President, Morgan Stanley -
We frequent Cathay Pacific and other venues as well on a regular basis. I have to say that this band has it all. The song selection, the individual talents of the musicians, and the phenomenal vocal talents of the singers came together and made the evening fun and exciting. Any professional musician knows that the best way to reach an audience is to be able to "read" it. The leader of the band, Paul, has that ability and executed to perfection. And the variety of music played fit into every genre' you can think of. I have seen many bands in the past and I have to admit that the vocals are the best I have heard in a very, very long time. Put it all together and you have and evening of real entertainment, sophistication, and just plain fun. - Jerome, Danielle and Tim -
"That was the best wedding band ever!" was just one of the MANY compliments The Pulse Of Boston received this past weekend! You guys did an AMAZING job and no one, Ethan, myself and my Dad included, wanted you to stop playing. Your music choices were great, all of you were very professional and I know Laurel (the manager of the Inn) was impressed. Please please please let us know where we can write a glowing review for you and the band AND if anyone ever needs a recommendation, send them our email. THANK YOU so much for an amazing wedding reception- The Pulse Of Boston was definitely the hit of the night! -Lauren Sewell -
"Hey guys, just got home from the SW Harbor wedding you played at, you helped
make it awesome. Best rhythm section of any New England party band I've ever
heard." - Rogier van Bakel -
Dear Paul,
Thanks for making my wedding day such a wonderful success on April 18. Your attention to detail before and during the wedding was simply amazing. Also, thanks for elevating our wedding to a higher plateau. Your band played an eclectic mix of music, for all ages was very entertaining and raised the spirits of everyone in attendance. You even played for a fundraiser at no charge to support our ball room teacher, Karen Batchelder. My children, family members and ballroom dancers are still raving about the diversity of music and energy you provided at my wedding. Frank and I found it most meaningful that you invited us to some of your events, especially the Burlington 4th of July. You and your wife Linda and the band have treated us like family. Paul, you and your fellow band members are not just a wedding band for the Boyland’s, you have become our friends. p.s. Looking forward to attending more events with The Pulse of Boston. - Sheila and Frank Boyland -
Hi Paul,
I can't thank you all enough for playing at our wedding in New Hampshire on
7/23. WOW is all I can say! I am still speechless at the energy and vibe you all
created for our wedding guests. Our family and friends are STILL TALKING about
you guys and how amazing you were! Chris and I want to go back to our wedding
just so we can hear The Pulse Of Boston again! I can't recommend you enough to
anyone who will listen. The Pulse Of Boston is THE BEST WEDDING BAND. Our
photographer, Amanda Herzberger of Orchard Cove Photography, agrees with us...
I'll be going on theknot.com to write a review as well. Please feel free
to use me as a reference for anyone thinking of hiring you. I can't say enough
good things about your group, we love you guys!! Thank you again!

In March the 20th annual Casino Royale event to benefit the Cystic Fibrosis
Foundation, sponsored, in part by the Boston Bruins Foundation, wa held. The
event included hors' d'oeuvres, live music by The Pulse OF Boston, and a silent
auction offering goods such as weekend getaways and Celtics tickets. And, of
course, Vegas-style gambling. The event helped to fund research and clinical
trials
to help find a cure for the disease, which affects 30,000 children and adults in
the U.S. The Pulse Of Boston had hundreds of event goers partying and dancing
all night and left the participants calling for more. This band definitely
helped the event to be a huge success. Thanks to The Pulse Of Boston.

The Pulse Of Boston is an amazing band for any lively
party! They performed at our wedding for the cocktail hour and reception, one
stop shopping! The piano and guitar at the cocktail hour set the
mood in the garden. The 7 piece band rocked out all night long with songs from
today and from the past through our Irish roots singing Danny Boy. With 2 days
notice they sang our first dance (Bruno Mars, Just the way you are), our
father/daughter dance (Wings Beneath my Wings), and monther/son dance (Celine
Dion). The singers have fabulous voices and the instruments played flawlessly,
the website songs don't do this band justice! All my guests raved about
the band... "where did you find
them?" they asked. There were guests dancing on table tops, boogying down, and
singing their hearts out. Paul, the band leader, went out of his way to
make the music a success. They are easy to work with, reliable, and
professional. At the end of the night the drummer gave me his
drum sticks for our memories. Thanks to The Pulse Of Boston, we had an
amazing wedding and our friends are still talking about!

25 to 30 thousand people had an excellent time at the Independence Day Celebration in Burlington, Vermont. One of the major highlights of the evening was the band. The Pulse Of Boston had the whole crowd singing, rocking, dancing, and enjoying the music. It's hard enough for a band to hold the attention of a few hundred. This band came right out of the gate and from the first song it was obvious we were all in for a treat....and they did not disappoint. See you guys next year. - Ray, Janice, Steve, Gloria, and Grace
The Pulse of Boston, Boston’s premier party and dance band, got the crowd moving and shaking at the Mike Lowell Foundation Casino Night benefit, Sunday night, Aug 30th. The House of Blues was turned into a Las Vegas casino for the night, with gaming tables contributed by Mohegan Sun. Red Sox players Mike Lowell, David Ortiz, Jason Varitek were spotted in the crowd. The band broke into a pulsating version of Michael Jackson’s “Billie Jean,” a fitting tribute to the King of Pop. The dance floor was soon full and gyrating, and when singer Pedro Rivera called out from the stage to ask if the crowd was having fun, hands went up and bodies twirled. The audience was obviously enjoying themselves, as the nine piece band brought the energy level higher and higher. The Pulse of Boston played great renditions of popular dance classics, hip-hop, Latin music and Motown, including a scorching version of Aretha Franklin’s “RESPECT.” They are "The Best" local band we have seen in years and proved it. - Boston Music Examiner -

This band is amazing!! Everyone loved them at our wedding and several of our
friends have already signed them up. They are an 8-person band with a female
lead singer and horn players - and do everything from motown classics to
hip-hop. They were professional to work with and great in every way.

The most fun, dynamic, entertaining band ever. We could get around to any tables
to talk to people because everyone was dancing all night. I have never seen so
many people up and dancing from beginning to end at a wedding. It was a blast. I
only wish I had another occasion to hire them for. Kristine - MarthaStewart.com
"From Jazz, Motown, R&B, Standards, Ceremonial, and whatever else you can think
of if you're looking
for a band that can do it all, this is the band for you"
- Stu Taylor,
Business 1060, WBIX-AM/Boston -
"All I can say is that there is no doubt this band has got it going on!
Incredible is the only way to describe their performance. We all appreciated the
fact that, without hesitation, they performed above and beyond! Anyone who has
the chance check them out for yourself and you will be as pleased as we were."
- Amherst College -
"I wasn't sure what to expect because we've had bands perform in the past and
some were OK. This group simply tore the roof off and kept everyone on the dance
floor. It was amazing and everyone is still talking about it. All I know is that
they left the people wanting more and hopefully they will perform at our next
event. We all sure did Feel The Pulse!" - Dartmouth College -
"We attended a business conference in Boston in May and afterwards a
sponsored function at a place called The Roxy Club. I was expecting some music,
probably a DJ, but was so pleased to see a live band. All I have to say is
whoever got this band sure knew what they were doing. Entertaining, energetic,
exciting!" - J. Wilder -
"I had the privilege of seeing the band live at the Hi-Hat in Providence. I've
been back three times already! The Pulse Of Boston knows how to energize
and entertain better than any band I've seen in a very, very long time. I
suggest everyone get out to see them live and Feel The Pulse." -
James M.,

"Marybeth and I spent a lot of time looking at bands on the Internet, getting
demo CD's, and going to live
performances before we selected The Pulse Band. Whether it's R&B, top 40 hits,
or classic standards you are looking for, The Pulse Band will deliver. I realize
that this sounds like one of the band members wrote this up, but we loved our
band." - David and Marybeth, Dedham, Mass. -
"I saw the band play at Harper's Ferry this summer.....and had to rely on
holding up the telephone receiver in the direction of the band to allow her to
hear." "Even over the long-distance she picked the superior talent and ability.
I wanted to tell you how happy we were with the band's performance at our
daughter's wedding." -Christine G., Connecticut-
"Having been to well over 50 weddings we have seen all kinds of bands. Some
good, most not so good. The Pulse Band was clearly different. The band exceeded
all our expectations with their amazing sound, incredible range, and great
attitude and energy. We only wish we could do it all over again."

& Darren B. -
""If anyone wants a recommendation feel free to call me. The Pulse Of
Boston created
a 'rip snorting party atmosphere'. The variety of the repertoire was impressive
and fabulous. Thank you again." - Jane W., Winchester, Mass. -
"I've heard a lot about the band for some time and decided to check them out.
All I can say is that I was very glad I did. The combination of individual
talents created a sound that was pleasing to my ears. The melodic harmonies were
entrancing and the individual vocals were nothing less than magnificent. Their
stage presence was powerful and professional. You can bet your life I'm going to
check them out every chance I get." - A.B., Boston, Mass. -
"The Pulse Of Boston exceeded all of our expectations. Throughout the evening the
guests were commenting on how great the band was. The Pulse Band ensured that
our night was fun, rather than just a methodical wedding reception. We wish you
continued success."
- Matt & Linda G. -
"I am writing to let you know how extremely pleased we were with The Pulse Of
Boston at my daughter's wedding. They were excellent and I received numerous
compliments on how great they were. The professionalism and caring made the
event special and is greatly appreciated."
