We had an amazing time on our wedding day. From the first moment we reached out to Carey, the band leader for the band. He was so on top of things. Very thorough in the services that CK Entertainment would provide during our special day and interpreted what that would look like for us all the way from the planning to the execution. We had so many compliments from our guests, saying that they had never been to an event so classy before, and the live band is what made it so elegant. We were so pleased with how everything turned out, even with COVID, we were still able to have a talented band that certainly delivered an upscale event. Thanks CK Entertainment for making our wedding day elegant, festive and beautiful!
Sincerely,
Candace & Carnell
The new bride & groom

We chose this band for our wedding because of the good reviews. We were unfortunately disappointed. As we try to make clear in our description below, the problem was Carey Kleimann and, we think, not his band (the band is talented and wonderful imo)
1st, Carey publicly reprimanded the groom's father over the microphone by saying "I have the microphone!" loudly and shooed him away when he asked to use it since guests couldn’t hear him. Many of our friends have mentioned this incident to us during and after the wedding. It is embarrasing. Also, Carey called the groom's father an a*hole on 2 occasions in front of other guests, including the groom's sister. All we did was let Carey know that people were having trouble hearing him on the mic and asking to make an announcement ourselves. 3rd, when it was time for family dancing, Carey was clearly frustrated and over the microphone, repeatedly asked “Is the family here? Let me know when everyone is here” several times in a sharp and harsh tone. Guests stopped to stare, it was odd, rude and didnt create the mood we wanted, or we think you would want, for the family dancing.
There were at least a few issues with the band's performance. 1st, after the band had played for only about a half hour, they took an extended break for about 45 minutes. This really hurt the dancing momentum. 2nd, they had trouble sticking with the playlist that he asked from us. The playlist took us days to compile. Relatedly, when we sent the playlist he told us that he was able to play almost all of the songs on the list, but as the wedding got closer he told us that he was unable to play a good number of the songs. And played songs that I would put on a do not playlist. 3rd, when they finally got people dancing after about 2 hours, they abruptly stopped. 4th, well before the wedding was set to end, they played "hit the road jack." (Not on our list as many other songs I would never play) Many people asked us if this was a hint that they should leave. 5th, Carey told us that he would have more than just a keyboard player during our cocktail hour, but changed his mind during the wedding. It seems to us that all of those decisions were a reflection of Carey's decision-making.
Another set of issues regarded the pre-wedding planning. Carey took up many hours of our time before the wedding with extended stories of his personal, medical, and professional life, all of which were unrelated to our event. I do not want to go into details, but suffice it to say that these stories involved petroleum jelly, root canals, and his experience working with Donald Trump.
We participated in the conversations because we felt that this was Carey's personality and we wanted him to feel comfortable with us and yes it was funny too. But that was a waste of time; as indicated above, Carey was rude to us during the event and disregarded our preferences. Including letting our guests make speeches during the event because he failed to follow the schedule we gave him or give the mic to anyone.
As noted, we had looked at CK Entert. other reviews before the wedding. Looking again, we find that the reviews from other dates: 11/12/15 & 3/13/12, appear to accurately describe our experience with Carey. We also notice that Carey's responses were negative and do not reveal any remorse or understanding. But we are not writing to or for Carey; our intention in writing this is to give a more complete picture to those who, like us, rely on these reviews.
Response from the Vendor on 01/02/2019
I am sorry these folks are upset. But did not have a wedding Planner and wanted to micro Manage their wedding to only play music they wished. They also changed what they wished for a few days before the wedding which was a stipulation on the
Co...
ntract that we have a bridal info sheet 4 weeks before the wedding date.
Asked my Pianist to play the Debussy Piano Concerto after I had already written an arrangement for piano called Yimura for Piano that they requested.
It would take a pianist 4 -5 weeks of practice to play this piece not 2 days before the event
As far as other issues the schedule they wanted was way off base not because of the client but because of delayed issues with the ceremony and Dinner which is normal. The caterer asked us to stop playing so the dinner could be served.
and we did as asked, then they demanded we still should play. At least 4 guests came to me with music requests which we honored. Also 5 other folks that I did know who they were came to me rudely in my face telling me what to do. while we were playing their special dances.
Basically this was a client who tried to micro manage the wedding without any consideration for their Guests. As far as speeches go they decided not to do these
Not me.
I am sorry that this client was upset, but this is an example of two many folks
trying to run an event on their own with out a planner. Also and the bride and the Brides mother
thanked me and gave us a tip which seems to contradict there complaints.
They basically were rude and I had no idea who was in Charge . I also had about
52 emails with time lines that made no sense at all.
I tried to explain this to the groom, who basically seemed to be a nice person
We also had to play outside without cover in Florida which I never do but I accommodated
their request even though the risk for our equipment was high. and as far as more of us playing the Cocktail hour logistically was not possible and the client agreed.
Again I am sorry that they were upset but I and my band members do not want to be treated
rudely and give the respect that we are professionals and to be treated as such.
All of my Band members were offended by their behavior
Any questions?

Thank You CK Band
CK Entertainment is a class act. They had everything set up before hand and wore professional attire. We hired CK Entertainment to perform for our wedding on March 12, 2016. They were everything we hoped for and more. Our favorite thing about CK Entertainment is that they feel out your guests and play music that they know your guests will enjoy. Our guests were dancing all night and having a great time. It has been over two weeks since our wedding, my husband and I are still getting phone calls about how awesome our wedding was. This was all because of CK Entertainment. CK Entertainment is reasonable as well. They are not over priced like most bands. If you want your wedding to be a success, I would hire CK Entertainment in a heartbeat. Carey was wonderful to work with and was very prompt with emails. Thanks again CK Entertainment for making our wedding day so enjoyable.

I wasn’t going to write this review as I was always taught if you don’t have anything nice to say don’t say anything at all. And then I thought of another bride excitedly looking for a band and coming across this one (as I did) with only good reviews, booking them, and then having the same poor experience that I did.
I watched the videos and checked everything everyone had to say about them, and although the videos looked out of date – they were listed as a “featured” vendor on The Knot’s website so I put my trust in that along with the good reviews.
I spoke with the manager on the phone – Carey and he was super helpful when I was asking for a quote and for more info. He added more value by telling me that he would play more instruments himself for free – which I thought was really nice of him. As soon as I paid the deposit everything changed. He was no longer helpful, he appeared abrupt and his emails came across borderline rude. I had a planner so she took over thankfully and all I had to do was complete a Bridal info sheet with names, roles, song and genre choices etc. I completed it with our choices and it’s sad to say but they didn’t play even one of the listed songs – not one! I never really noticed on the day, however afterwards I realised that we may as well not have bothered sending it. If they had any issues with the songs or queries I would have expected them to ask for clarification or more info – both of which they didn’t do.
When our first dance song came for some reason on they only played it in the instrumental version – despite the fact that they had two singers. As weird as that was we made it special by everyone else singing the words.
I had no issues with the strings that were played during the ceremony or the piano that was played during the cocktail reception. My issue was during the party. There was no atmosphere, they didn’t play much to get the guests dancing and the female vocalist’s voice was poor. It wasn’t strong at all and she was hard to hear with the live band playing. I felt the band played well, however I found out after the day that they complained about the food and went to the bar and got free alcoholic drinks on more than one occasion. They had way too many breaks, and at one point when I think they’d been gone about 40 minutes the best men and the planners assistant all spoke to them separately about the music and coming back. They played until not one minute past 11 and when my brother asked for a last song they wouldn’t allow it. The planner also informed me that they demanded another $150 on top for something the day after the wedding, which we refused to pay, sent an email response similar to this and never heard anything back.
Such a shame that we spent so much and it was poor, however we didn’t allow it to ruin our day as thankfully we had a party bus and a 45 minute journey back to make up for the lack of the partying. I wouldn’t recommend them based on my experience.
Response from the Vendor on 11/25/2015
I am sorry that this client was not happy. Had she and her planner
provided us with a tent for cover on an outside event with a 30% chance
of Rain none of this would have occurred and was a contractual agreement which they choose to ignore. I ...
had never received any email from this client till over a month after this wedding which I fond strange.
We try to do our Best for all our Clients, . We do not Drink except
for Cold Bottled Water and or Soda. We did not complain about any
Dinner and since there were six other vendors it most likely was
could have been another vendor.
Also the wedding planner did not send us a timeline till 11:30pm the night before the afternoon wedding and ignored the weather report. Also we do not play overtime unless the client will pay for it and is the signatory to the contract
Not relatives especially after the Bride has gone.
As for the other comments we played all the requested songs on our Bridal Info Sheet which we ask clients to return it to us 4 weeks before the wedding date, Even tough we did not get it back in that time frame we played all requested tunes. It seems to me that she did not remember any of this till over a month later a little questionable.
You will see that all our other clients have given rave reviews.
We had the CK Band play our Wedding.
It was a Jewish wedding and they played all the Hora's
we asked for. The Band had a great Sound, Female and Male vocalists were Outstanding.
So were the horns!

Carey from CK swing band initially was nice to work with, but something seemed fishy. The music live did not match with the music on his video. The "Harry Connick" musician he has on his video is not who he brings with him to his gigs. We asked to have him at our wedding, but he brought another singer. He only played maybe 4 songs out of the 100 we chose-playing different songs which we didn't even like. He played songs that we DID NOT WANT played at our wedding. Thank G-D the guests didn't seem to know. There was feedback all night long, which the band didn't seem to care to fix. Carey would play a couple of songs, then walk right off the stage, and leave light , canned music playing. I watched him walk right off the stage wondering what he was doing? I had to ask him to go back on the stage to play music. He took breaks every 15 minutes. The attitude Carey had when walking into the venue was appaling. As the bride, I felt so uncomfortable. He was complaining about this and that, and doing all of this right in front of me. He was complaining to the other vendors as well. This man is completely unprofessional, and discourteous. Please consider using another vendor for your music. You will be glad you did. I would never write something so detrimental about a vendor, but I was absolutely disappointed, and when you are spending hard earned money on something, or someone, you should be treated with much more respect than this.
Response from the Vendor on 03/13/2012
This response is absolutely not true. We played all the requestedmusic. We did not take breaks as she has stated. We playedat least three 50 minute sets without Breaks!! I did not bring anyone new that the bride was not aware of. She even told ...
me she loved the band and so did her quests.As far as the qouteHarry Connick musician , it was the same musician , but he shaved his beard and had a different hairtcut. This review is absolutely not true and I have no idea where she is coming from!
The band was amazing! Every guest was up and dancing, which is what I wanted. The female vocalist was so great! I've never seen a wedding band interact with the crowd like they did. My wedding song was played beautifully! I am extremely happy with my choice!
The band was amazing. They are very professional, they have great voices, they are great entertainers. My only complaint: we sent the band a long list of songs we loved and types of music we wanted played. They played a few songs from our favorites list but otherwise played what they wanted. That being said, they were very interactive and so fun at the wedding but we would have liked to hear a few more of our favorites.
I had a fantastic time as the wedding planner working with CK Entertainment for our wedding last weekend. From Day One, Carey's follow up was immediate. I operate the same way so it was more appreciated than you could ever imagine. He was personable and respectful of my time line, which is key for me. Not just respectful but extremely thorough making sure every member of the band was on the same page. Each band member had a genuine smile across their faces the entire duration of the wedding. You could feel how much fun they were having with the crowd . They continued to check in with me throughout the evening to make sure they were meeting the expectations of the client/timeline, etc. It was a true pleasure working with them and I look forward to many more events together.
