Incredible Wedding Band!

Kahootz was the absolute best for our September 2024 wedding! The most frequent compliment we received about our reception was how incredible the band was. This team is the standard for professionalism and for getting people on the dance floor. The musicians are top tier: the singers are extremely talented, the guitar solos were awesome, and the brass section had the energy to the top. Chris and his team met with us before to discuss our likes, dislikes, and provide recommendations for the flow of the evening as well as a musical surprise for our family. This made us feel heard and that the music choices were tuned to our likes as well as let us trust in them to bring the party. We also hired their services for our ceremony audio, cocktail hour, and lighting. Needless to say, we highly recommend Kahootz!

The Best Band

This band made the wedding. No one left the dance floor the entire evening. Hit after hit, they were lights out all night long. Working with them was a breeze, and they were accommodating to our requests and overall thoughts on music. We also left much of it up to them, fully expecting the experts to bring the party, which they fully did. In our opinion, the music can make our break a wedding so finding a great band was key to us. We will find a reason to book them again for another event.

The Best Band in Boston

Their website doesn’t lie….they are the BEST band in Boston. We went with the 7 piece band, KB3, for our wedding after seeing them play live at Encore. They were INCREDIBLE. They 100% made our wedding a party and had every single guest up and dancing the entire night. From our pre call to the day of, every band member was so professional and kind. We used Kahootz for our ceremony music and cocktail hour as well. Would 100% recommend!!!

Book this band!

We cannot speak more highly of Kahootz!! Our wedding on 9/10/2022 was an incredible experience.
From the beginning, we appreciated how easy the contract process was, Chris was very responsive and answered all of our questions promptly. Closer to our date, we had a planning meeting with Chris were he focused only on how he and the band could make our day the best. When it came to the performance, they were out of this world! I have never heard such positive feedback about a band. We are still receiving compliments about how wonderful they sounded, how much they engaged with the crowd and the set list. If you are looking for a great guest experience BOOK THIS BAND!

Boston's best band

We were thrilled with KB3’s entertainment for our July 2021 wedding in Providence, RI. The band did an incredible job of reading the audience and playing songs that kept our guests dancing for hours on end. We heard (and keep hearing) over and over from guests that KB3 was the best wedding band they had ever seen, and they executed our requests (including “All Star” by Smash Mouth) perfectly. We would recommend them to anyone looking for an incredible band for their event!

KB3 made our whole night!

I'll be honest, my husband and I were a little nervous when we began our band search for our October wedding in December. Music was so important to us, but we felt we were late to the game and the likelihood of finding a great band that wasn't yet booked was slim. Thankfully, we hit the jackpot with KB3. Not only were they miraculously available, they had POWERHOUSE singers and brass musicians (a must)!

Prior to the wedding, the band leader Jim met with us to review the details and was incredible flexible and sensitive to last minute changes! On the big day, they arrived early, took care of set up and generally put us all at ease. Then... they brought the house down. Absolutely killed it with the most energy I've ever seen from a wedding band - the lead singer Charles was up on the balcony, out on the dance floor, and everywhere in between. Our friends and family did not stop dancing the entire night, and raved for days about how incredible they were. Several of the engaged couples even asked for their business cards - they were that good.

Thank you Chris, Jim and crew for fueling the best day of our lives!

Never left the dance floor

Kahootz performed at my daughter's wedding at the Boston Public Library and they were amazing! No one left the dance floor the entire night. Chris Cole was easy to work with and responsive. He even worked hard to set up a sound system so that my nephew could sing a song he had composed just for the bridal couple into the courtyard at the BPL. Chris had said he always kept an eye on the crowd and if it thinned, they would play a slow song for the older folks. It NEVER thinned. My son-in-law is a dancing nut and he thoroughly enjoyed himself. I'm surprised everyone's shoes didn't have holes in them by the end of the night!

Hire this phenomenal band and your wedding with be a dream!


Dear Chris,

Firstly, I wanted to thank you for all of your help and guidance in choosing the best band ever for our daughters wedding. I know I had so many questions when considering using one of your bands and I appreciated you guiding us to K2. You were such a pleasure to work with from start to finish and always made us feel comfortable in the process leading up to the wedding.

Now onto our review of K2. My husband and I are total music people...We spend lots of our free time traveling to music festivals and in general listening to music. So, with that being said, the band we choose for our daughters wedding was of the utmost importance to us. We’ve also been to our fair share of weddings. We may not remember much about many of the details details of a wedding after the fact, but we do remember the vibe that the band creates.
Well, when I tell you that K2 absolutely crushed it, I mean it, seriously-every single person at that wedding thought that they were the best wedding band they’d ever heard-EVER!
As people were leaving, they were all saying that it was the wedding of the century, and that was in large part thanks to Justin and the rest of his phenomenal band, oh, and there was a double rainbow too. That was also a lovely touch!!
But. Seriously, I can’t even tell you how much we loved them. They went all out to make sure Allie and John got the wedding of their dreams and more.
Their song choices were spot on! There was basically no-one seated at tables during their time playing and entertaining our guests. Everyone was on the dance floor, even my 84 year old Dad was dancing the night away. I had to drag him off the dance floor to rest for a few minutes.
Usually there are one or two songs during a set at a wedding where my husband I look at each other and say, let’s sit this one out... Nope, not with this band. It was one fabulous song after another. At the end of the night, I looked like I’d taken a spinning class. Lol
At one point, Justin moon walked and then went into the audience to sing with the guests. Everyone was just in awe of him.
At another time during the night, he invited my husband along with Johns Dad up onto the stage. I’m pretty sure that was one of the best moments of their lives. Who doesn’t want to be up on the stage with the fabulous Justin and the K2 band. Everyone got such a kick out of that.
I could literally go on and on but it suffices to say that they exceeded our expectations and we would and will recommend them whole heartedly to anyone and everyone. I did see many of our friends and family coming up to them to ask for their contact information.
Justin, you’re copied on this email.
We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your extraordinary effort on July 6th for our daughter and son in-laws wedding.
You and K2 created a vibe than none of us will ever forget and we couldn’t be more thrilled.
Thanks again!

With gratitude,

Lynne Taikowski

Kahootz was absolutely amazing! We worked with KB3 for our wedding reception, and we couldn't have asked for a better band or a bigger dance party. They were very organized in the lead-up to the wedding, and we reviewed with them all the details and special songs. They did an awesome job with the special dances (first dance, parent dances, hora) and then the dance party was just amazing - such a good mix of songs that kept everyone on their feet. The band really sets the tone for the whole evening - and they truly turned our wedding into a once-in-a-lifetime celebration full of joy. Throughout the night and for weeks after, we couldn't stop getting compliments about the band - everyone had such a good time! We couldn't have been happier.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
