Review by Jefferson S.

Birthday Party (Adult)Reviewed on October 10, 2016From Stoughton, MA

Ross was great to work with. He did a fabulous job performing for my wife's surprise 50th birthday party. He was in tune with the audience in the room. He was personable and great to listen to. His song selection was perfect for the audience and party. I would definitely recommend Ross look forward to working with him again.

WeddingReviewed on October 19, 2015From Saint Johnsbury, VT

I can't thank Side Effect enough for their phenomenal performance at our wedding! From the ceremony, to the cocktail hour, and finally the reception, they were simply fantastic! Guests danced ALL night, including those who I never expected to be on the dance floor for even a minute! Besides the actual event, Side Effect was so accommodating and helpful throughout the entire planning process. They were very quick to respond to any emails or phone calls and always put your needs first. I had several guests come up to me to express how much they loved the band (their talent, professionalism, and music selection). I would highly recommend Side Effect for any event!

Wedding ReceptionReviewed on June 28, 2015From Sterling, MA

Unfortunately we never got to hear Side Effect play for our event. Ross came out to talk with us and check out the backyard for our wedding. He was very nice and seemed excited about playing on June 20th. Due to weather conditions that couldn't be planned they told us that we needed to have a covered area available for them to play and that we also must have a stage so that they would be off the ground. Renting a stage was almost as expensive as the cost of the band so we decided to go another route for music. Even though we cancelled 2 months in advance, they kept our $150 deposit. I spoke to Ross but he was not willing to refund our deposit. Disappointing.
