Best wedding ever

I cannot say enough good things about BKS! Kat is extremely responsive, organized, and easy to work with which made the planning process a breeze. They had all our guests on the dance floor all night long having a blast. We had so many friends tell us it was the best wedding they've been to, and we're biased but would have to agree! They put so much heart into their performance and were incredible entertainment all evening long. You will be so glad you hired BKS!

We love bks live band!

BKS band is seriously the best kept secret!! We love them SO much!!! They are professional, high energy, and so very talented! BKS played at both my wedding and my sister’s wedding - they are seriously that incredible!! Everyone couldn’t stop talking about how amazing they were & didn’t want the music to end! I am still looking for an excuse to throw another party just to be able to celebrate with them again! Kat was such a joy to work with. She is organized, responsive, and truly cared about making our wedding so special for us. Highly recommend - I wouldn’t even think twice about hiring them!! You will be so glad you did!

Hire Them Now

I cannot put into words how talented, professional, enthusiastic, and utterly glorious this band is. They were far and away the highlight of our wedding reception. It's been close to a month after our wedding and I still have guests contacting me raving about how good they were. The band is extremely organized and proactive in their planning. Their interactions during their performances with the guests was superb. I recommend in the strongest possible terms.

Bks is just that. The best kept secret!

When my fiancé and I started out looking for a band, we quickly became overwhelmed. We found Best Kept Secret, and were immediately impressed with their presentation, responsiveness, and how organized they are. Though we never saw them in person, we reviewed tons old videos s as no read their reviews. Finally, we took the plunge in booked.

And OMG!!!! We are so glad we did! They completely turned up the heat anf turned our reception into the biggest dance party celebration we’ve ever seen! We couldn’t believe this was our reception! The dance floor was on fire all night long. Everyone is still raving about the band!

BK has made our night super special and we are forever grateful!! We can’t say enough great things about Kat and her team. Not only are they amazing on the stage, but they were amazing up to our big day as well. Thank you again for making our day SPECTACULAR!!

Truly THE BEST kept secret

BKS is absolutely amazing! Kat was extremely professional and helpful leading up to the wedding. She and the other members of the band are so talented. They played songs for all age groups and kept the party alive all night long. My guest cannot stop talking about how incredible they are. I highly recommend booking BKS for your wedding. They helped make our night perfect!

Great music starts with great musicians. Great LIVE music requires energy and charisma too. BKS is the triple threat insofar that they brought all three to our wedding. Felt like Jimmy Fallon's band was performing in disguise!!...seriously, that good. Their fearless leader Kat is a consummate pro on AND off stage too. The pre-event meetings with her were on-time and on-point. You want a stress free, 10 out of 10 entertainment experience, BKS is it.

Wedding Reception

Best Kept Secret provided a 9 piece band, including horns, for our daughter's wedding reception. They worked with us in advance to make sure the music was exactly what the couple wanted. They were amazing and kept the party going all night. Highly recommend!

Best night ever!

We were worried about my daughter’s wedding reception being so late. It was definitely not a problem. Kat and the band kept the guests engaged and entertained all night long. The dance floor was packed. Such a fun night!!
