There are not enough words to explain how much fun Bay Kings Band made our wedding and reception. Without a doubt, the BEST music option I've ever experienced.
We had a string quartet for the service, and it was beautiful. The artists learned songs I specifically requested and also brought instruments so my friends could play a special song or 2 they wrote. So thoughtful to our needs.
We had a small group play a jazz style set for the cocktail hour, and it was perfect. Very lively and just what we needed.
Then we had the ultimate encore - the reception. This ten piece band was so wildly talented. The dance floor was magnetic, and you couldn't get anyone to stop dancing. Wonderful vocal and instrument solos, hilarious/well-timed MCing, and so much more.
We booked Bay Kings in 2019, and dealt with multiple covid delays. And I just want to thank Tori for being a fabulous guide through it all and making the planning/timing so effortless.
I couldn't recommend a musical group more for your event.

Alli, this review has left us speechless… almost. Haha! We appreciate you taking the time ...
to come back and write such a thoughtful, heart-warming review. It reminds us why we love what we do, and although the Covid days seem like a lifetime ago, your wedding was one we will always remember! Thank you again, for this amazing recap, of an amazing day. We hope you’re doing well!

We’ve had the pleasure of working with Bay Kings Band twice now—once for our wedding and again for a corporate grand opening event for Wesley Pharmaceuticals—and both times they absolutely exceeded expectations!
The live music brought an incredible energy to each event, and our guests couldn’t stop raving about it. The band truly elevated the atmosphere and created unforgettable memories.
Billy, Yesenia, and the entire team were a dream to work with—professional, responsive, and genuinely passionate about what they do. Their attention to detail and ability to read the crowd made both events seamless and so much fun.
If you’re looking to make your next event stand out, I highly recommend Bay Kings Band.

Bay Kings Band was a phenomenal vendor to work with! Yesenia was fantastic with communication and booking our fabulous performers. Everyone couldn't stop raving about how great they were. Even those who normal don't dance we're out on the dance floor! We truly appreciate their hard work and talent and couldn't be more happy to have booked them. Thank you Bay King!

The Bay Kings Band was an absolute highlight of our wedding reception. Their communication throughout the planning process was easy, professional, and direct, which put us at ease leading up to the big day. When it came to their performance, they were simply incredible - so talented and with an incredibly wide range of song selections that kept our guests dancing all night long. It truly felt like we had our own private concert, with everyone raving about how amazing the band was. We couldn't have asked for a better musical act to make our wedding reception unforgettable.

We were absolutely floored with the band at our reception. After booking, we worked with our producer who curated the band and song selection to fit in with our musical tastes (we are jam band fans who didn’t want any pop music or too much “cliche” wedding music). During the reception I could not shut up about how impressive the band was, nor could our guests. Super easy process as they have a professional operation and the talent of the musicians oozed through. Could not recommend highly enough.

hit the mark for your reception—and that we could tailor the music to your unique style. It’s always a joy to step outside the typical wedding playlist and create something that truly reflects our couple’s taste. We’re so glad the process felt easy and professional, and even more so that the talent left such a strong impression on you and your guests. Thank you for trusting us with such an important moment—it was an honor to be part of it!

WOW!!!! Bay Kings is the best in the business. There is not a better band in the world!! They made our wedding the event of our lives. The energy they brought, the talent, every single part was just amazing. Our theme was disco and they understood the assignment!! We had such an amazing experience and would recommend Bay Kings to anyone considering a live band for their event.

Bay Kings Band was worth their weight and gold on our wedding day- every musician that they sent from the harpist who played the ceremony to the musicians who played our cocktail hour to the full band who did our reception…It was a complete vibe the whole time! Billy truly understood our vision and was extremely accommodating to our several song requests - even the ones that we thought were pretty niche. Our reception had emptied out a little sooner than we had expected and so he just decided that it would be cool to do like a 90s throwback concert. He checked with us first and we said hell yeah that sounds awesome and then we rocked the night away. It felt like our own personal warped tour. I wouldn’t change a thing about that night and the band is a huge portion of what made it so awesome. We didn’t have a wedding videographer and that’s one slight regret we have because we’d love to be able to listen back on some of the songs that were played that night. 100/10!!!

Bay Kings Band is the absolute gold standard! Our friends and family are still buzzing about the wedding weeks later, and a few want to get married in Florida just so they can book Bay Kings for their wedding. They were incredible in terms of the preparation and flexibility with playing unique songs for our ceremony and first dances, and my wife and I cannot thank them enough for making our special day unforgettable! 10/10

Our wedding at the Lightner Museum in St. Augustine, Florida, was elevated to another level of magic by the incredible performance of the Bay Kings Band. From start to finish, they delivered an unforgettable experience that had everyone on their feet and dancing the night away.
Working with Alex from the band was an absolute pleasure. He handled all the logistics seamlessly, ensuring that every detail was taken care of. His responsiveness and professionalism reassured us throughout the planning process, and he was there every step of the way to answer any questions we had.
The band itself, comprised of seven exceptionally talented musicians, exceeded all expectations. They seamlessly transitioned from our ceremony to the reception, setting the perfect tone for each moment. Their familiarity with the Lightner Museum venue was evident, as they flawlessly navigated the space and acoustics, delivering a performance that sounded phenomenal.
One of the highlights of the evening was when they graciously allowed my husband to join them on stage for a song. It was a truly memorable moment that we will cherish forever. The band's energy was infectious, and their enthusiasm radiated throughout the room, keeping the atmosphere lively and engaging.
In summary, the Bay Kings Band went above and beyond to make our wedding day extraordinary. We couldn't have asked for anything more. If you're looking for a band that will elevate your event to new heights, look no further than the Bay Kings Band. They are simply outstanding.

I’ve taken a couple months to gather thoughts on writing a review on this band. This is no shame at all to any of the members of the band as they are all talented individuals, I just think other people should be aware of the things we experienced at our wedding that we were unhappy about.
First, I was asked months in advance to make a playlist for my wedding so that when the band was taking a break they would play from this list or get inspiration from this list at least from the artists that i enjoyed listening to. In the entirety of the wedding there was maybe 2 songs played from the entire list. Not only were they not from the list, they played songs in the style that I specifically asked not to play like middle school dance songs and “shots”. Again, the band has amazing voices, just did not take from my inspo AT ALL not even when they were playing and especially when they were not playing.
Second, we had several emails and call communications prior to the wedding in which which we told the band our wedding was black tie. The band showed up in jeans, leather, rock attire, which was inappropriate for the setting and wedding itself.
Lastly, we had a very detailed conversation with Billy on specific timing of first dance songs, parent bride/groom songs of when to fade out the songs, which they had wanted the exact second to fade out the song. These details were ignored, and they faded out the songs at a completely different time.
The band was also aware that we had a choreographed first dance song and they proceeded to start the song before we even got out to the dance floor making us miss the first part of our dance and having to jump in as fast as we could.
We can’t go back and change anything, but we were a bit upset knowing these things happened, and we had spent a lot of our wedding money towards this band.
Billy himself was very nice over the phone when planning. These are just moments that I can never get back and have been upset how much went wrong with the band, which is one of the most important parts. If you are thinking about using Billy kings, yes they are talented, but just be aware of these things that happened to us!

Ashley, thank you for your feedback. We appreciate your compliments about the talent of ou...
r musicians. It was a beautiful event and a fun dance floor which we always strive for – your guests really seemed to enjoy themselves. I am sorry that your experience was not as perfect as envisioned and apologize for anything we could have done to improve. To address your concerns, we did take our set list inspiration from the playlist you provided and played at least 15 specific special requests as well as other songs by artists who were requested. On your planning page, you specifically requested that we not play Bruno Mars or any group dances, which we avoided. We did play a handful of throwback songs based on your request for Black Eyed Peas. I realize it's difficult to list every song you don't like and I'm sorry there were any played that you were upset with. The dress code you listed was for jackets and dress attire, and the band wore black suits and dresses. There was one musician in blue chinos and a tan jacket which, I realize, could have been easily confused for jeans. We have addressed that. The lead singer wore a tux jacket but we would have been more than happy to have the entire band wear tuxes to match the guest attire had that been requested. Regarding the song fades, I realize we discussed those timings to the second, all of which was communicated, and I'm truly sorry that a couple of those were off on the night. We will certainly take all of this into account to improve on future events. Thank you again for your feedback. All our best to you and Tyler!

Bay Kings Band is arguably one of the best in Florida! When we looked for a band for our wedding, we had our sights set on a company that could bring a plethora of different styles and genres to the table. Bay Kings did that and more… we had guests dancing and singing along all night long!! Their break times correlated perfectly with other wedding items. They took the time and put in the effort to go over every aspect of the itinerary with my wedding planner and myself and even offered up great changes that made transitions run smoothly. The guitarist and sax player were definitely the focal point and highlight of our cocktail hour! We cannot recommend them enough for any of your events!

A review from a Dad . . .
Weddings these days are expensive with hiring limos, coordinating flowers, interviewing photographers and video companies, ultimately finding a venue, and of course the open bar and food . . .
So when it comes to the music, I think people often underestimate the importance of setting a mood and creating an upscale atmosphere for your wedding - The Bay Kings Band brings that mood and excitement to your event !
Many couples hire DJs because they are available, accessible and take very little work to coordinate, as when it really comes down to it, it is just a person playing recorded music thru a computer and lots of people can do that . . . correct ?
However, a DJ these days can still be costly, anywhere from $1500 on the lower end - to upwards of $3,000 or more for a top quality DJ. But again you are just getting recorded music with a "hype-guy" dancing behind a table. The music is often mixed and mashed up to the point where dancing to this "style of music" becomes work and can become annoying to anyone over 35 - in my opinion . . . one song mixing into another song, with an overdub of another song, etc. etc. all throughout the night.
So for a little more money, why not hire a real band !
The Bay Kings Band was a great choice for our sons wedding, and as a musician myself, it was important to set a mood and atmosphere that only a real band can offer with live music, playing complete songs from different eras, which includes all ages in the music that is being played and keeps the dance floor full . . . all night !
I highly recommend getting in touch with the Bay Kings Band and checking out one of their local showcases with Holly and Craig as the lead singers . . . you will not be disappointed.
Well worth the money when you only have one shot to get it right . . . Thank to Rob for a great experience.

Bay Kings Band was absolutely sensational! They arrived on time and had no issues that I knew of setting up. The whole band kept things fun and exciting! Ron and Dakota sounded amazing throughout the whole night! Everyone at the wedding was positively raving about the band and their excellence! I had one guest come up to me (the groom) on no less than five separate occasions and tell me how impressed he was with the sound of the band. We even had a family member who was in a band himself tell us how much he appreciated the quality of Bay Kings Band! The dance floor stayed packed all night long!

There simply isn’t enough praise in the world to give to this amazing band! If you’re looking for live music for your event, stop scrolling and book BKB immediately! It’ll be the best decision you have ever made!
My husband and I hired BKB for our wedding in December 2022. We worked with Brandon, who was beyond helpful! Brandon was extremely kind, patient, super responsive, and very easy to work with! He made the entire experience very pleasant. Planning a wedding is not easy, but working with Brandon was a breeze as he made the entire process seamless and was always available for questions and advice.
We had an acoustic guitarist play during the ceremony and it was so lovely. We had four songs that we requested played during different parts of the ceremony and they were perfect. The guitarist even played a very specific song for my husband and I as we walked down the aisle together for the first time as husband and wife and it was so special!
For cocktail hour we had the cocktail trio playing our favorite jazz hits. Everything from the likes of Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin to greats like Nat King Cole and Louis Armstrong echoed throughout the cocktail hour. There was never a quiet moment. Our guests were in beautiful musical company.
And lastly, for the encore. We had a 9 piece band with two powerhouse vocalists - Brad and Tonya!! WOW! Our guests were BLOWN away with the incredible music and the bands ability to keep everyone on the dance floor! We gave the band guidance on what kind of music we liked and songs we didn’t like, but really trusted them to gauge the crowd and make song choices. Needless to say, we were beyond impressed!
Our wedding day was the best day of our lives, and it was truly made better with the amazing music by Bay Kings Band. They were the best live performers and I’m truly so happy we made the decision to have them play at our wedding!! If you want your wedding to be the toast of the town, you have to have BKB there!

Bay Kings Band was a great addition to our wedding. We had the 9-piece band at our reception and they killed it. Very flexible when it comes to choosing your own songs to be covered and the vocalists were really talented. We had mixed playlist with spanish and english songs to cover the entire guest list we invited. I highly recommend the band if you want to hype your guests up and have a good time!

BKB is so talented. I have never seen a better band at an event. They were so sweet, down-to-earth, fun, and incredible musicians. We had so much fun, after booking them, doing a date night in Orlando to watch them play live for free - we were looking forward to having a band already but once we heard them live and met them and got to talk to them, we were beyond excited for them to be at our wedding with us. Thank you so much for making our wedding a dream, for the easy planning, and playing such great songs to dance to all night!

Sheila R. - we cannot express enough how AMAZING Brandon and the Bay Kings Band are! Our daughter was married on June 4, 2022 in Marco Island, FL. Bay Kings Band was on the vendor list. From the moment we spoke to Brandon we knew we were in GREAT hands. They took care of all the music, from the guitar on the beach, to the cocktail music on the patio, to the 7 piece band and then the DJ for the afterparty. This was our 3rd wedding and by far the best music! Their energy, enthusiasm and talent made for a fantastic and memorable wedding...one of the best!

Our venue and wedding coordinator recommended Bay Kings Band for our wedding. We really wanted to look into live music and we heard they were amazing. Our contact through most of the process was Rob. He was able to answer every question that we had and helped us to tailor the night to us. The planning page that Bay Kings Band uses is amazing and it helped us to map out not only the schedule of the day, but the type of music we wanted played. We had a guitarist for our ceremony, a cello for the cocktail hour, and a five-piece band for the reception. We worked with Billy, the lead vocalist, a week or so prior to the wedding to go over final details and he was great to work with! Our wedding guests had a wonderful time and really loved the music. We highly recommend Bay Kings Band. It was truly the best day!

We hired the Baykings band for my daughters wedding. From the first day I contacted Rob, (manager/owner), we knew Baykings Band was going to work perfect for what we wanted. We met with Rob and got to listen to some of his band members well over a year prior to our wedding. We spoke to Rob that evening and came right home and got on line and booked the band, so we would not loose them for our wedding date. It was all positive from then until the end.

This review is so long overdue! Bay Kings Band was the one and only band we looked at! We went to a showcase in Orlando and knew instantly we needed them for our wedding. We knew that we wanted Rick and Holly as the singers and they were nothing short of exceptional. We also had a sax player who was a rock star during the reception! It rained on our wedding day and unfortunately the tent didn't provide side panels to protect the band so we needed to find a new spot for them to play. I'm not sure what happened behind the scenes, but our team of vendors made it work! Rob was so accommodating and easy to get in touch with during the planning process. Truly we had the best experience, so much fun, and our guests raved about the band! I wish we could do it all over again.

Bay Kings Band brings the party!!! Since our wedding, our guests cannot stop talking about how fun our wedding was, primarily due to the fact that Bay Kings is so good! The dance floor was packed all night. Rob did a great job of getting to know our musical preferences, and made the planning very easy. I know a band is more expensive than a DJ, but if you can save elsewhere, Bay Kings is worth every penny, and more!

These guys were great! I booked them 3 months before our big day and they walked me through the process of how to set up everything necessary for them to put on a good show.
We had the solo guitarist (I believe his name was Quinn) for the ceremony and cocktail hour- which I highly recommend. And our 6 piece band for the ceremony was just perfect! Craig and Noel kept the party going with a nice mix of oldies and current songs.
Many guests came up and told us how much they loved the band. And I completely agreed- we were 100% satisfied!!

Fun Band, but there were a few things that disappointed me. We decided to use a guitarist for the church service. He played nicely, but only the people very close could hear the music. I don't know if the amplifier wasn't working or what happened .
We also used them for the cocktail party outside before the reception and again, I couldn't even tell if they were even playing.
The best part was the party after dinner and they played the types of music we requested and everyone danced and had fun. We asked for a 9 piece band and I thought we would get 3 horns, but only two came and they were just so so. The vocalists weren't so strong either.
We attended a wedding a couple of weeks ago near Sarasota where the Bay Kings Band played and they had 7 people and they were FANTASTIC. The vocalists were great, horns were really good and I was so excited thinking this is what we were going to have at our wedding party. Unfortunately, they sent the B team and I was disappointed . But, no one else seemed to care and we all had fun anyway. My only suggestion is to make sure you know which band you are getting because there are apparently several versions of the Bay Kings Band.
Thanks,
Missy A.

Working with the Bay Kings Band was a very positive experience from the beginning to the end. The band was very professional, personable, talented and paid attention to my details and requests.
They monitored the crowd and made sure that their music selection fit the vibe of my guests.
I would highly recommend them for a social function, wedding or a corporate event that's how experienced flexible they are.

The Bay Kings Band did a fabulous job at the wedding of my son. They are great entertainers and kept the party alive throughout the evening. The musicians and singers are all very talented.
Highly recommend for any kind of event you are planning.

Bay Kings Band made our wedding reception the celebration that it was. Brandon and the rest of the band were fantastic to work with! They were detail-oriented, professional, and very responsive to any questions I had. My husband and I felt great knowing that we had a knowledgeable and professional vendor such as Bay Kings Band. After our wedding, everyone commented on how great the band was. Not only did they play fantastic music that set the mood for our special celebration, but they were also flexible. At the very end of the night, my husband wanted a very particular song sung well after the schedule band playing time had ended. We asked the band to play the song, and no questions asked, they happily played it for us. Thank you Bay Kings Band for making that special impromptu moment happen, and for helping make our wedding reception a true celebration!

We never wanted the band to stop playing! Every single one of the guests at our wedding was dancing, up to our 97 year old grandma. So many compliments from the guests about the band. Brandon was so organized, friendly and accommodating. Wish we could do it all over again so we could have such a fun night with the Bay Kings again.

We love it when grandma gets on the dance floor! Awesome to hear, thanks, Michael!

Truly cannot say enough WONDERFUL things about Bay Kings Band. Our guests have continued to rave about how great the music was. Tori did an amazing job making sure all details were in order and she and Matt and the rest of the band kept people dancing the night away. My husband and I are so grateful to have had them a part of our wedding day! If you’re considering a band and want an amazing mix of all genres of music with talented musicians, Bay Kings Band is it!
is for you!

We highly recommend The Bay Kings Band. Check out their website to see when they have a practice in your area. Loved what we heard and hired them. They have a great website where you can customize what you want them to play. Any questions we had were answered quickly. We were called a week before the wedding to finalize everything. We also wanted a violin and cello for the ceremony and they were able to arrange that, too.

After listening to bands out in Jacksonville Beach we finally came across the Bay Kings Band at the Blue Jay room. After their first song we knew we would book them and we did that night. They were so easy to work with and very responsive. Richard was our main connect and was great! Everyone loved the band at the wedding and our Venue (DoubleTree Riverfront) said it was one of the best weddings they have seen. Highly recommended!

Working with Bay Kings Band couldn't have been any easier. And you're only always received extremely prompt responses to any emails or questions. They were incredibly accommodating of all of my personal requests for my special touches to make my day unique to myself and my groom. The one on one phone call the week before to reveal details definitely put my nerves at ease about the event. While the whole day was a blur and there were many things that did not go as planned, I got nothing but great feedback from my guests! Since we lost a lot of time moving our reception indoors, I was very thankful that they powered through and played a nice long set without a break to ensure we still had a good time. I would highly recommend them! Visit one showcase and I'm sure you'll be as sold as I was.... I went two more times before my wedding just to watch for fun!

There were several mistakes during my wedding reception with this band. First off, they butchered my first dance. I payed for a custom mash up of two songs for my first dance, and the band didn't play it (they claimed issues downloading the file) which means they did not pre-play it in preparation for the first dance. There was also MAJOR crackling during all speeches during the reception on the sound system - which they set up. Additionally, when I wanted the music to shift gears into more dance music, the head of the band said they had to follow the music plan that was already set aka they couldn't just shift gears. I ended up asking the band to stop playing and to play off Spotify, which in my opinion is not worth what I ended up paying. Alex, the band manager was responsive and open to discussing my frustrations regarding the situation after the fact which I do appreciate. However, overall I was not satisfied with the execution of this band and it negatively impacted the beginning of the reception portion of my wedding.

Larry and I cannot emphasize enough the WONDERFUL job Bay Kings Band did for our wedding! The band was truly fantastic and kept the party going all night long. They were always responsive, and since we were planning our wedding from New York, their ability to keep us in the loop with what was going on and making sure we were all on the same page was beyond valuable. Thanks again guys!

Bay Kings Band did an amazing job for our wedding! We had a four piece band for the reception and two musicians for cocktiak hour. We received a TON of compliments during and after the wedding. They were very good about playing upbeat songs to keep everyone on the dance floor! Very high energy and very talented musicians. They were worth every penny! Also, the process was very easy, as I was able to update and change information on the "band planning page" during my whole engagement. One week before the actual event, Alex and I spoke on the phone to confirm all details. They were very professional and prompt. You need to book this band!!

My husband and I had the Bay Kings band play our wedding and we could not have been happier to have them. There service was a great value, with seven incredible musicians playing our event for a whole six hours! Our wedding day was blessed with the best live music anyone can ask for. These band is talented, fun, reliable, and very professional. They stepped up without asking and helped coordinate the wedding, which had needed some help. Before the wedding they're communication was prompt and professional. They give you a site for your event and you get to fill in all the details to a T. They learned a song for my dad and I and third rendition is my favorite yet, by far! Can't say enough about this group. I loved them and they made my wedding . We danced a lot! The whole time! The dance floor was never empty.

My husbands number one request was a band. I was nervous about this because I was worried about having good dance music. I was wrong to worry because Bay King Bands was amazing! The dance floor was never empty and the band was great at reading the party to play the right music.

Bay Kings Band is the absolute best! Every single one of our guests was raving for weeks after our wedding about how great the band was. The dance floor was packed all night - my 90 year old grandmother was even dancing! Thank you Bay Kings Band - their communication, help with answering questions and performance quality is second to none!
