CK Entertainment Inc.

erpreted 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

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.

nsive to change. On time, cooperated with venue and the whole process was seamless. I would have another wedding just to hear them play again.

K 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.

ctations! They were fantastic Very Happy!

eviews, 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.

ion and Vocals. VERY Happy!
