WOAH!!!! Just WOAH!! Bluewater Kinds Band was amazing! From our ceremony, to cocktail hour, to our reception. They kept the dance floor going all night! We still get compliments about them and we have been told over and over again by our guests that this was the best reception music they have ever heard ! There wasn't one person in the room that didn't enjoy their performance, even my dad who has never danced a day in his life, was on the dance floor dancing...I'm pretty sure that's the biggest compliment EVER (he's a hard man to please!). From the moment we booked until the last song at our reception, our expectations were far exceeded!

The talented musicians of the Bluewater Kings Band will keep your guests dancing the night away! We had the 9 piece band for our event and they were truly amazing! The live performance exceeded our expectations as we had only seen videos prior to our event. We continue to hear compliments and praise about the band and how much fun everyone had. Every member of the band looked professional and classy - what you would want for a wedding. They entertained our guests with the wide variety of songs played -- from Beyonce to Tina Turner to Back Street Boys to Wild Cherry -- amazing! There is nothing I would change about our reception and would not hesitate to book them again for any event.

We booked BlueWater Kings after attending another wedding where they were playing as a guest and I’m so glad we did. Everyone raved about the band and said it was the best band they had ever heard. They played great songs and kept the party going! I didn’t realize it at the time, but people told me afterwards that the volume of music was perfect – not too loud at all. Sometimes bands play and it can be really hard to have a conversation or hear people, but that is not the case at all with BlueWater Kings! They made our wedding celebration so much fun for all our guests. We also used them for our ceremony music and cocktail hour and they were great there as well! In addition, they’re super organized and have a wonderful portal for you to upload information so everything is in one spot and you have a dedicated representative to ask questions to and serve as your contact. I highly encourage you to book them early!
