What band has Boston's top wedding musicians? Let's be honest - that's a totally subjective question.
Your wedding isn't going to be like everyone else's wedding, and so why should the music sound like everyone else's wedding?
Look: Klezwoods isn't going to be right for everyone—but we will be right if you who want a high-energy, dance-driven night that is totally unique and doesn't sound like your cousin's wedding from 12 years ago.
It's different. But, so are you and your special partner. So, why not have an Ottoman empire jam band at your wedding?
Yup, there's one of those in Boston. Russian circus music meats balkan brass and hora-jams? Klezmer-reggae and an Anatolian Giraffe?
Your guests won't forget your reception if you decide to work with us.
Klezwoods is a klezmer-based ensemble that serves both Jewish and non-Jewish clientele looking for a wild, hora-like experience that will keep your guests on their feet!
We also offer special cocktail hour and ceremony music offerings, and even a DJ+horn combo if you want to mix up our totally unique sound with today's popular music. Learn more below:

"The hora that Klezwoods played at our son's bar mitzvah was amazing. I don't know if a lot of people think to have a klezmer band at a bar mitzvah, but we definitely recommend them!"
Toli & Diana Shabashov (Newton, MA)
"Klezwoods were very professional at the event, and through all coordination before the event. They knew [our] client was sensitive to volume, so they made sure to constantly check in and keep the client happy."
Steven S. (Event Organizer, Chestnut Hill, MA)
"Thank you for the incredible performance! The music was amazing and engaging. The band was professional, entertaining, and delightful for all ages. They were a dream to work with. We would recommend again to anyone."
Jennifer S. (Bar mitzvah client, Brookline, MA)
"Thank you Brian! You guys were fabulous, would definitely recommend Klezwoods to anyone!"
Noah Merlin (a Groom-to-Be in Newton, MA)
