    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!

    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!
