These guys were really the stars of the night, by far my favorite vendor. Just amazingly talented and kept everyone on the dance floor all night... we had comments from almost everyone- from our friends to our parents’ friends to my husband's 90-year-old grandfather telling us how great they were. The range of what they can play-- and play well— is huge. And they set the flow of the night perfectly... the dance floor was packed before my husband, and I were even introduced! Just fabulous.

“Whenever someone is looking for a band, I always tell them to call Stardust. No one has this much experience and talent in one place-they are the best in the business.”

Finding a wedding band was our biggest challenge throughout our wedding planning process. We went to see over 25 musical acts in order to find a group that met our standards. And, thank goodness, we found Stardust. It's been three months since our wedding, and people are still talking about our party! While you all were quite pricey, you were worth every penny! Everyone packed the dance floor the entire night – dancing, partying, and flying through the night. The reception never had a down moment. Stardust truly is THE wedding band - and we are so thankful to you all for making our wedding reception perfect.

This band rocks! Without a doubt the best band in Boston - maybe one of the best live bands you will ever see.

Professional, extraordinarily versatile, and easy to work with – for corporate or events otherwise, I wouldn’t recommend any other group.

After requiring two weeks of post-wedding recovery, I hasten my genuinely heartfelt thanks for the beautiful and lively music you and The Stardust Band members provided on the 8th. Lynn and I could not anticipate fully the feelings of the mountain-top occasion, but now on reflection, the joy and magic of it all were encouraged, if not also inspired by the music. With much admiration and appreciation for an unforgettable day,

Please share this note with the entire band. Becky had told us about you (lots of positives) and we also listened to the music on your website. I thought I was prepared, but you guys blew us away!! The quality of the music and command of the songs was awesome!!!!

We will clearly be recommending Stardust to anyone who asks!!

We have been receiving e-mails since the reception raving about your performance!! You guys should go on tour!! If you need me as a reference anytime, just let me know.

Best regards,

“Stardust Band Dusts Baytowne With A Golden Performance”

When nothing but the best would do, Intrawest chose the Stardust Band from Boston, MA to be the main performers at the Village Of Baytowne Wharf’s Grand opening Celebration.

Stardust did not disappoint.

From the time the band took the stage the evening of August 22nd until, to the crowd’s disappointment, it shut down almost three hours later, the performers sang and moved and grooved to some of the most popular sounds spanning several decades. The musicians of the eight-piece Stardust Band brought to the stage a wealth of talent and showmanship, boasting a collective background of working with the top musical artists in the country.

“We hope Stardust will come back. They were awesome. So many have expressed interest in having them back”, said event coordinator Lisa Burwell.

Usually, after the wedding, people call and say, "You looked lovely, the flowers were beautiful, what a great cocktail hour, the service was so meaningful.” Our calls and comments were all the same, "That band...wow...they were super...who were they...we have to have a party and have them play...we haven't danced like that for a long time,” and it went on and on. Keith and Stardust were incredible and made our wedding just what we wanted, and everyone did "bring their dancing shoes" as they were requested to do on the directions card. We are so happy that our friend (Don) told us about Stardust.

Thank You!

WOW!! Bill & I are on the first leg of our trip to New Zealand, but I wanted to say thank you. Our wedding day was everything we possibly could have imagined & you were a huge part of that. From the first moments we saw you at a showcase last summer, we knew you were perfect for us:so thanks for making the effort to get to that showcase! We’ve talked to some or our friends & a number of people have said that was the best wedding they’ve ever been to (my sister even admitted it might have been better than her own)!

The flow was perfect… The atmosphere was amazing & the dancing phenomenal (my feet are still sore)!

I’m not one of those girls who has been planning her wedding since she was 6. When we began the planning 18 months ago, it was very clear what was important to us… family & friends having a great time helping us to celebrate our relationship. You made that goal a reality & I’m positive we’ll be talking about it for years to come. Thank You!

We just wanted to thank you, Cecile, and the other members of Stardust for the amazing job you did at our July 4th wedding at Belle Mere in Newport, Rhode Island. It has been a month, and people are still talking about the job you did on our entrance song. Thank you so much for learning Metallica’s “Master of Puppets.” Our waiter told us that he has worked hundreds of weddings and that was the best entrance he has ever witnessed. It was truly memorable and I cannot wait to see it on video.

All in all, the remarks from our guests were the same about the band, and I have heard from many that Stardust is “the best band they have ever seen”. Everyone was impressed.

Thank you for making our day that much more memorable and far from ordinary.

Stardust is truly a class act.

Please tell your fellow band members how much we all enjoyed the music at our RISD, April In Paris Ball, at the Westin Hotel Saturday evening.

It was such a dreary night, and we were all a little down because of the uncertain times. Your music gave everyone the lift they needed, and it ended up being one of our most fun parties yet.

I had many inquiries about Stardust Band, and I hope you get bookings as a result of the Providence exposure.

You are a “class act” in every conceivable way. It was a pleasure working with you, Keith, and I hope I have the opportunity again.

Finding the perfect wedding vendors was making wedding planning incredibly stressful, so I was thrilled when all of the following events unfolded perfectly in the midst of it all. At the point when I was choosing a band, having been at many weddings, I tried to recall if any bands stuck out in my head - and only one quickly came to mind from 5 years ago. I remembered and loved that “they” had everyone on the dance floor before we sat down to eat, so it was a party from the start! I sent an e-mail out to that girlfriend for “the band’s” name….That same day, I went into work and asked around. A very opinionated co-worker got really excited saying she had been at a wedding 2 weeks prior and that the band was “awesome”—“no one sat down the entire night!” She left a message for her friend to find out the band’s name….Later that same day when I asked a male co-worker about wedding bands, I was told “Stardust is my all-time favorite band—they’ve played at 4 weddings I’ve been to!” A few minutes later, my other co-worker’s girlfriend called back with the band’s name: “Stardust.” And by the end of the day my original e-mail out to my girlfriend was replied to: “Stardust--but they’re hard to get.” Wow—what a day that was! And to complete it, I was lucky enough that I was able to book you for our wedding day!

Thank you again SO much! Everyone was raving about your band the entire night! I heard things like, "See! I told you they were awesome! "....and, "The range they have is unbelievable--they can play everything from country to pop and play it well!"........and, "They were SO professional when the power went out--they didn't miss a beat, literally, and kept the party going!" and, "The power went out??! I thought the band was just doing a cool acoustic thing!" Personally, I loved how the situation was handled when the power went out—you knew I was getting nervous, but you kept me smiling, gave me the tambourine and got the crowd to chant and sing. It turned a potential disaster into a memorable part of the night!

We want to get married again--not just to exchange vows--but to hear your band again!

Stardust certainly helped us provide a great party for Amanda and Jason’s wedding on July 29th. We are getting “rave reviews”! Many, many people have commented on the wonderful band and what a fun party it was.

From “How Sweet It Is” though “Unforgettable” and on to “Brick House” right up to “last Dance”, the tent was rocking! We have many wonderful pictures with people having a great time.

The next day our neighbors on Corinthian Lane told us that they were all dancing out in the street. And a man from the Corinthian Yacht Club told us that he invited all of his friends over to the club, ordered pizza, and that they all danced on the porch throughout the evening. He thanked us for providing such great music!

It was truly a magical evening, and the music was sensational. Thank you for keeping everything at a perfect Pace. Please thank Keith Kostick and the other members of the band for their part in making our evening so special.

Thank you all for the fantastic work you executed at last night's wedding.

As a member of the hospitality field, I know first hand how easy it is to overlook the people that make it happen. I sincerely mean it when I state how thrilled I am with the outcome of my wedding. I appreciate the passion, professionalism, (patience), and the teamwork you displayed.

Although I have no plans of doing it over, hypothetically, id choose you again for a successful Event!

It truly was a pleasure working with you

Well our daughter’s wedding was certainly wonderful and so much fun was had by all of our guests.

Stardust played a significant role in its success. The group–vocalists and instrumentalists–was wonderful. We received so many compliments about the band. We have never been to a wedding before where dinner wasn’t served on time because everyone was dancing. From the first song of the evening to the end of the evening, the floor was filled with dancers. The meeting Cecilia had with Karyn a couple of weeks before the wedding was such an nice way become acquainted with a nervous bride. I was a really nice touch.

Thank you Keith and the Stardust group for being a part of this very happy occasion. You were fantastic.
