My now-husband and I have been fans of Brian Kirk and the Jirks for years! In fact, well before we got engaged, my now-husband said when he gets married, they were the band he wanted. Fast forward 5 years and within 24 hours of getting engaged,... Nicole had already emailed me back with their availability, and within 3 days of our engagement our wedding date was booked! Yes, we booked our venue BASED on the band's availability. Leading up to the day, Nicole was so easy and fun to work with. She had great suggestions for tunes, and all in all kept us confident in the band. At the day of the wedding - WOW!!! We had an acoustic guitar for the ceremony, who learned signed, sealed, delivered for us, and played the requested van songs to a T. During the cocktail hour, we had a jazz saxophone, who kept the atmosphere light-hearted without being too loud! In a room that carried an echo, we were impressed that he was able to gauge the crowd and make sure the vibe fit the event. Now for the reception - there are no words to tell you how amazing of a wedding we had thanks to Brian Kirk and the amazing band. before we even got the party started, brian went over the requests we made (let me tell you, as a fan, it was SO COOL TO TALK TO HIM!). Ok, hysterical fan tendencies aside, his consideration and diligence in making sure my husband and I were happy over the details was such a nice touch. Brian was a great MC - the perfect amount of talking, but all in all, playing music to get everyone dancing. Everyone was on the dance floor, be it the classic bruce songs, whitney houston, van morrison, billy joel, taylor swift. You name it, we danced! And get the horn section!! So much fun! No one could stay seated for long. Even my 85+ y.o. grandparents didnt sit down, and neither did the 8 month pregnant mom with her 4 year old. Brian Kirk and the Jirks were the ideal entertainment. Our guests have not stopped raving about it, and we know this wont be the last time we see them in action!!!!
