Review by Diana L.

Wedding ReceptionReviewed on October 13, 2015From Westport, MA

I highly recommend The Belltones. The music was fantastic, and the Band really got my wedding guests out on the dance floor! Plus, their primary contact, George Farrell, was extremely easy to work with and patient with my lack of experience hiring a band. During the evening, several people came up to me to say they thought The Belltones were great.

Anniversary PartyReviewed on August 5, 2013From Saunderstown, RI

They were great. Per our request, they selected songs based on the vibe of the party and kept the guests dancing until the end. Very professional. Several guests asked for their name and information.

Anniversary PartyReviewed on June 13, 2012From Gorham, ME

Crisp, musical, swinging but not too loud; if you are a jazz lover, and would rather dance to a Jobim song or a Fats Waller song than to heavy metal, this is the band for you.
