Best Kept Secret Live Band was INCREDIBLE!!! They were truly one of the highlights of the night. They sounded phenomenal, but beyond that, they had amazing stage presence. They had everyone on the dance floor (people we never thought would get up) and really engaged with fun games. They performed everything from oldies to the top hits of today and sounded amazing on all of them. They will learn up to 3 songs and they did each phenomenally!!! They even let me sing with them for one surprise song too. Their price is also incredible for the quality you're getting compared to others as well. The leads all have amazing voices, and the band blends so well. I'm a singer and have very high standards when it comes to music, but they far exceeded this! We splurged and did the horns too and the texture was so rich. RECOMMEND SO HIGHLY!!!!

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!

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!

Look no further--you need to hire this band now. Words cannot express how they turned our wedding reception into an event that our guests will talk about for years to come. Incredibly talented, friendly, proactive, organized, professional--the list goes on. I would have never dreamed that the best wedding band I have ever seen would be the one performing at my own wedding. They nail it with their music in terms of style, energy, perception of the crowd, and clear happiness for the married couple. They were so very pleasant to work with prior to the wedding. I recommend them in the strongest possible terms.

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!!

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.
