    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!

    HIGHLY recommend!

    From the day we signed our contract, Owen and his team have been friendly and easy to work with. They even helped us secure a videographer less than a month before our wedding! On our wedding day, they were easy to work with and super flexible (given we ran into some weather-related issues). They kept our guests happy and dancing all night long! We couldn't imagine our wedding day without Bluewater Kings Band!

    Dance floor was packed!

    We are so happy we hired Bluewater Kings to play at our daughter’s wedding! From the first song to the last song, the dance floor was absolutely packed.
    Jessica, our producer, was so easy to work with, guiding us through the whole process from song selections to helping us determine our reception timeline for things like cake cutting and toasts, etc.
    For our event, we went with the 9 piece band, including a horn section, the sound was phenomenal!

    Book THE Band!

    We are absolutely thrilled with the performance by the Bluewater Kings Band at our wedding! From the first note to the last dance, they provided an unforgettable musical experience that had everyone on their feet and made our special day even more magical.

    The band's talent and versatility were truly remarkable. They masterfully played a wide range of genres, from classic hits to modern favorites, ensuring that there was something for everyone to enjoy. Each musician brought incredible energy and passion to their performance, creating an electric atmosphere that kept our guests dancing all night long.

    From the moment we booked Bluewater Kings Band, their professionalism and dedication were evident. They were incredibly responsive and worked closely with us to understand our musical preferences and vision for the evening. Their flexibility and willingness to accommodate our requests made the planning process smooth and enjoyable.

    The quality of their performance was outstanding. The lead vocalist's voice was phenomenal, and the musicianship of the entire band was top-notch. They read the crowd perfectly, adjusting their setlist to keep the energy high and the dance floor packed. Our guests couldn't stop raving about how amazing the band was and how much fun they had.

    In addition to their exceptional musical talent, the Bluewater Kings Band were a pleasure to work with. They were punctual, professional, and seamlessly integrated into our event. Their positive attitude and enthusiasm were contagious, and they truly went above and beyond to make our wedding day unforgettable.

    We can't recommend Bluewater Kings Band highly enough. If you're looking for a band that will elevate your event and create lasting memories, look no further. Thank you, Bluewater Kings Band, for making our wedding day an absolute blast and for providing the perfect soundtrack to our celebration!

    Party to Remember Forever

    The Bluewater Kings were worth every penny and more! Jacy our INCREDIBLE female vocalist, Todd our ceremony Sound Master, Tom our trumpeter, and the whole band made our wedding absolutely unforgettable! Ryan the band manager was super communicative from the moment we booked. He made sure all the prep work was done well in advance to understand special song requests, the order of events, vibe desired for the night, etc.

    We leaned more into classic r&b, soul, with some 'get up and dance' rock and pop variety later in the night. Our guests could NOT stop dancing. Compliments were coming to me all night about the band and I even got a few "best wedding ever!" remarks.

    They couldn't have done better. All of our guests were blown away by Jacy's vocals, especially on "As Time Goes By" which we ended the night on.
    We loved every second of dancing to their performance.

    The ceremony was perfect and everything we ever dreamed of (and more!) We had the wedding of our dreams and are still reeling from it. We got married in Siren Wisconsin and the band made the 2 hour trip from the twin cities without charging me for hotel rooms for the night, which I also really appreciated on our budget.

    Thanks to Bluewater Kings it was the party of a lifetime!

    Amazing band

    Bluewater Kings is a fabulous band. Truly easy and wonderful to work with! We got the 8 piece band and it was perfect for us. Not only that, we had a full dance floor the whole night. Shai is THE MOST TALENTED SINGER EVER. We have a few family and friends in music and they all came up to us during the reception to tell us how fab the band was doing. We're still getting messages about how great the band was! The only part that's tough is that you aren't able to select which members will play in your band, but my guess is that all of their musicians are incredibly talented. HIGHLY RECOMMEND Bluewater Kings

    Unforgettable night! You must book them

    I would highly recommend using Bluewater Kings Band for your wedding if you want a full & lively dance floor, high energy, and an unforgettable night. They’re amazing & talented musicians.

    I worked with Corbin and was very impressed by his responsive communication, and his ability to accommodate & do whatever was requested. He was very attentive and nailed every planning detail flawlessly (and I gave a lot of specificity 🤣). Corbin not only made the day/night of our wedding amazing but offered helpful insight on the whole planning process. Everything was SO well organized in the months leading up to the party due to their online planning platform.

    All of our guests raved about and were blown away by the band. My dad already has stated that he wants to hire the band for their 40th wedding anniversary party.

    I couldn't have hoped for a better performance on our wedding night. You will not be disappointed by choosing this band.

    Best wedding band to get guests on their feet!

    The Bluewater Kings were so easy to work with from initial discussions through the day of our wedding! Our producer Jessica made the planning process super easy and ensured we had elements incorporated that were important to us. The band on the day of was high energy and accommodating and our guests were on their feet all night! We got so many compliments on the music and are grateful we chose Bluewater Kings to be part of our special celebration.

    Bluewater Kings

    It has been a month since our wedding and we still have not stopped getting compliments about the band! The Bluewater Kings has an amazing process from start to finish between their planning portal, hands on responsiveness, and overall execution on the big day! They cater to the crowd and keep such a great energy! We cannot recommend them enough!

    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.

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!
