Can’t say enough good things about BKS. They exceeded every expectation that we had and then some. If you’re looking to throw a party, BKS is the ONLY band you should be looking at...
booking. Every single person was out on the dance floor and had nothing but good things to say about the music. Would recommend them to anyone 1000x over!

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!!!!

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. Incre...
dibly 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.

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 lik...
e 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.
