    The very BEST band you could possibly ask for. Right from the beginning Tasha was extremely kind, helpful and super excited for us and our wedding. Even meeting her she was so sweet and amazing! And the band members were so friendly and nice. I had not seen this band live prior to hiring them but had read up on all the reviews and talked to people who had hired them before. Wow did they exceed my expectations and I truly truly mean it, they were AWESOME. The music selections were exactly what we wanted and our guests had a BLAST dancing all night long. There was never an empty dance floor. They even went out of their way to make sure every name was pronounced right. I have never been so pleased with a wedding band in my life, they were soooo worth it. They even had amazing projection lights going which were outstanding. If you are considering hiring a band, this is the one. Our guests kept asking all night long who they were and complimenting us for hiring them. YOU WON'T REGRET IT!

    5 Stars Don't Do Justice!

    The entire Bluewater Kings Band was absolutely excellent for our wedding night. We had a very energetic and diverse crowd and had the 6-piece band performing, and they really knocked it out of the park for us. All of our guests, from the older crowd to the younger generations, really enjoyed the song choices that the band had picked out and they did a great job keeping the whole crowd out on the dance floor the entire night. They really set the tone for a fun, upbeat and highly energetic reception and our crowd definitely fed off of it. Not to mention their performances of each song were fabulous and we often had to check if they were playing live or pre-recorded music because they sounded so good! They surpassed all of our expectations for our wedding night and did so within a very reasonable budget, and we will be highly recommending them to all of our family and friends in need of live entertainment as we cannot wait for the next event with Bluewater Kings playing!

    Spectacular wedding band!!!

    We LOVED having Bluewater Kings Band for our wedding! We first heard them as guests at a wedding in Indiana, and it quickly became a dream for us to have them play at our wedding one day too. They were phenomenal to work with from the first inquiry. We attended a live showcase to hear the band before booking, and then while planning, they were so responsive and quick to answer questions and offer suggestions. Our final planning call with Danny was so detailed and well organized and made us feel really well taken care of.

    Our guests loved the jazz cocktail hour trio! We got so many compliments! During the reception, we loved our MC, Athena, who did a wonderful job and brought such a happy energy to our reception. Finally, the band did an incredible job playing all night long. Band members seemed genuinely happy and like they were having fun celebrating with us. We and our guests loved it and we feel so lucky to have had them play at our wedding!

    Bluewater Kings Band Can't Be Beat!

    Bluewater Kings Band were phenomenal with everything! Amy did a fantastic job with everything leading up to our Wedding and during the event. The music was awesome and they played all of our requests, whether live or during the breaks when their DJ filled in. All of our guests raved about the band and we are still getting compliments weeks after! My wife and I truly appreciate everything that they did to make our special day so unforgettable! We Highly recommend the Bluewater Kings Band for any event! If I had to give a rating out of 10, they're 11!! Thank you so much!

    Booking Bluewater Kings Band is a MUST

    Outstanding work, I honestly cannot say enough about them! Having a live band really elevated the evening. I heard Bluewater Kings Band play at my cousins wedding a few years back and KNEW I had to book them for my wedding. They were extremely flexible with my timeline and had add-on services that made it easy to pick and choose exactly what you want, which made it easy to fit into anyone's budget. Danny, the band manager, was a pleasure to work with - very professional, kind, and helped me greatly with the planning process. He even made great suggestions that I wouldn't have thought of otherwise. So many guests came up to me to ask who the band was and how to book them for their events. The wedding was 3 months ago now and I am STILL hearing friends/family rave about the band's performance. I am so grateful for this band. Hope to see them at another event soon!

    Bluewater Kings band at Jorgensen Oak Grove

    Bluewater Kings were phenomenal for my wedding this October (2023). They were super responsive and helpful throughout the planning process, and were incredible live during the reception. The piano player during the ceremony was also fantastic.

    Absolutely Amazing! Hire them now!

    We first saw Bluewater Kings at one of their showcases and hired them that evening. We went with the 10 piece band because we wanted the full horn section and they did not disappoint. They were absolutely amazing and kept the dance floor packed the entire night. We also hired them to MC and they kept to our schedule and kept the flow of the night as seamless as possible. We had countless people come up to us asking how we found them because they were truly that great.

    Get to Groooooovin!

    We had always talked about a live band, but we were so on the fence because we assumed it was out of budget for us. After seeing Bluewater Kings at a wedding in Chicago and a wedding in Cincinnati....we realized this group was top-notch with a variety of talented people in their ranks. After reviewing their website and very easy-to-find pricing, we were so excited to work with them! Their a la carte options for sound and microphones were also so great.

    Literally everyone at our wedding raved about our band, and I'm so happy we got the chance to work for them on our perfect day. Our coordinator/POC was stellar at keeping tabs on questions and helping us shape our perfect plan for the day, even when we had to scale back due to life changes.

    If you are on the fence about a band, get a ticket to see them live and you will book them shortly after. Not to mention the performers were simply, down-to-earth kind souls with skills to make people move. Thank you so much, y'all!!

    Above and Beyond Performance

    Bluewater Kings Band went above and beyond for our reception. The way they interacted with the crowd, played our favorites, and even made more mainstream funk songs unique to their own style of play--every. body. boogied. And we are all the better for it. Thank you BKB. We will tell stories of your energy, your generosity, and your talent for years to come. I don't know any of you personally, but "we are fam-il-y" after September 16th, 2023.

    Look no further - this band is THE BEST!

    Our wedding band was an absolute showstopper and made our special day truly unforgettable! From the moment they started playing, they had everyone on their feet and dancing the night away.

    First and foremost, their musical talent was beyond impressive. The band members were not only skilled musicians but also great entertainers. They effortlessly engaged with the audience, creating an electric atmosphere that kept the energy high throughout the evening.

    Their versatile repertoire was another highlight. They played a wide variety of songs that catered to all generations, ensuring that everyone in attendance had a favorite tune to groove to. Whether it was classic hits or the latest chart-toppers, they nailed every performance with perfection.

    Furthermore, the band's professionalism was commendable. They were punctual, well-prepared, and seamlessly coordinated with the event planner, ensuring a smooth flow of the entire program. Their positive and friendly demeanor made them a joy to work with, and they accommodated our special requests with enthusiasm.

    The sound quality was exceptional, and they struck the perfect balance between volume and ambiance, allowing guests to enjoy conversations while also enjoying the music.

    Not only did they shine during the reception, but they also played beautiful background music during the cocktail hour, setting a delightful mood for our guests as they mingled.

    We received countless compliments from our guests about the band, with many saying it was the best live performance they've ever experienced at a wedding. They truly added an extra layer of magic to our special day.

    If you're looking for a wedding band that will leave your guests in awe and create unforgettable memories, look no further. We wholeheartedly recommend this band, and we are grateful for their incredible contribution to making our wedding day the perfect celebration that it was. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

    The dance floor never stopped!

    Bluewater Kings Band (BWK) was absolutely incredible! They were worth every penny. People never left the dance floor and everyone raved about how amazing they were! BWK was extremely communicative and professional in the planning stages. They have an incredibly organized portal where all choices can be made, invoices paid, and song preferences listed. Jeff was always so friendly, excited, and rooting for us as we planned our big day. While we initially booked them just for our reception, it was easy to later choose to add on ceremony and cocktail hour musicians. Our guitarist for our ceremony played beautifully. He learned the specific songs we requested for walking down the aisle and processing out. The jazz trio during cocktail hour was a hit! The band truly made the night so lively, engaging, fun, and amazing! They are truly talented musicians that put their all into their performance. Our guests absolutely raved about the band and said it was one of the most fun weddings they've attended (BWK gets the credit for that!) One thing that surprised me was the band's ability to emcee all of the details on top of playing beautiful music. From announcing first dances and special personal things we asked them to make time for, BWK delivered on every single detail. There were even things we had asked them to do during the planning stages that I had forgotten about and sure enough, Jeff and the band had every detail covered. We were endlessly impressed. If you want a night where no one leaves the dance floor and everyone is overjoyed with the music, hire Bluewater Kings!

    Incredible musicians!

    We could not be happier with hiring Bluewater Kings for our wedding! Jeff made the planning and organization process seamless to ensure the band played the type of music we wanted and that every detail was thought through. We received so many compliments from guests about the band's performance- they really brought the energy and kept the party going all night! The musicians were so incredibly talented- we had so much fun and are thrilled with how our reception went thanks to Bluewater Kings!

    Best Wedding Band Ever

    UNBELIEVABLE. When we told other vendors we'd booked the Bluewater Kings Band they all said things like "I'm so jealous of whoever is working that night" and told me about how great they thought the band was. They lived up to the hype! My husband was pretty specific with the songs he wanted played and Bluewater Kings Band played them all and were INCREDIBLE. I am so grateful that they did such an amazing job. We had a total blast, they were amazing and it all went perfectly. Thank you!

    Unforgettable night!

    We couldn't have asked for a better wedding band than the Bluewater Kings. They went above and beyond to fulfill our personal song requests, delivering stunning renditions for our first dance and dances with the parents. Their infectious energy, vibrant spirit, and ability to create a total party atmosphere were unmatched. The band's professionalism and crowd engagement made them an absolute pleasure to work with. We highly recommend the Bluewater Kings for an unforgettable wedding experience that will have your guests talking for years to come!

    Absolutely outstanding band! Highly recommend!

    The Bluewater Kings Band was AMAZING!! I truly cannot say enough positive things about them. We had them play our music during the ceremony (not live), and then live music for the cocktail hour and the 5 part band for the reception. Every single step of the way they were professional, organized, friendly to work with and INCREDIBLE talent! Our wedding guests raved about them. I HIGHLY recommend using them at your wedding!

    You cannot go wrong with BKB

    After searching for a wedding band (learning the ins and outs of how booking through managers work) and many recommendations for Bluewater Kings Band, we reached out and received incredible service from beginning to our wedding day! The band was such a hit, we had so many compliments! They learned new songs for our first dances and knew exactly what we wanted when we asked for music the older crowd and younger would enjoy! The dance floor was full almost the entire evening! And the best part- all of the money went to the musicians and not to a booking manager- something we really appreciated!

    Awesome band

    We had a seven piece band with Bluewater Kings and they were amazing both before the event during planning and day of event for our January 2023 wedding. The dance floor was packed until last minute of the night. I would highly recommend them you will not be disappointed.
