they were fabulous!! SO much fun!! everyone spoke about how amazing the band was. we hired them for our wedding in November - and we could not have been happier with choosing them! they were so great leading up to the wedding also, anytime I wanted to meet with them - they were more than happy to meet!! HIRE this band you will be so happy!
King of Hearts-Atlanta performed at my wedding this past September and they were absolutely incredible! The wedding was hosted at a vineyard in the mountains and KOH played live music that beautifully heightened the romantic vibe.
They seamlessly transitioned from sweet, family-friendly tunes to an all-out party banger. People usually say, “There was not an empty seat in the house,” but in this case, there were empty seats abound because EVERYONE was on the dancefloor. They effortlessly flowed through different genres, keeping the energy high all night. Plus, they worked perfectly with our friend who DJ'd a surprise set, and the MC kept the crowd fully engaged and excited.
One standout moment was when the crowd got so hyped that they spontaneously started a Soul Train line; it looked so darn cool in our wedding photos and video! And having a live band during the bouquet toss? Such a unique and fun touch that made the moment extra special.
KOH were consummate professionals, playing our must-haves, avoiding our don’t-plays (lol), and bringing a top-notch sound system. They dressed to impress and fit perfectly with our theme.
Months later, family and friends are still talking about them. If you want a band that delivers unforgettable energy and lasting memories, King of Hearts is the way to go. Highly recommend!
Our guests said it best: "we needed so much more time with the band." As we write this review 3 months post-wedding, we are still raving about King of Hearts' incredible sound, infectious energy, and outstanding professionalism. Mark and his band are "yes, and?" people; at every opportunity, they listened to our requests, asked thoughtful questions, and provided solutions to problems before they even happened (Mark supplied and set up a specific microphone for our ceremony that cancelled out/ dampened windy background sounds). It is clear that this band not only has but utilizes their experience to better each subsequent event they entertain at. Mark told us if we wanted to be on our feet, dancing, we would be - and we absolutely were. King of Hearts was one of the easiest and best decisions we made in our wedding planning process, and the choice to recommend them for all future weddings and events is now even easier. Thank you, Mark and KOH!
Maiya and Mark were incredible coaches. They gave us the confidence to execute our first dance and be totally immersed in the moment on our big day. More importantly than that my wife and I had so much fun learning a new dance and spending time with Maiya and Mark. Lessons were the most fun part of the entire pre-wedding process. They have an infectious energy and you can tell they love what they do. Could not recommend them more!!
King of Hearts was fantastic. Right from our initial interactions, they were great to deal with. Mark was super organized and helped put us in touch with references which made our decision easier. They have a broad song list and were very flexible with some of our requests. On the night, they were fantastic. The flow they had was amazing and did a great job of engaging the crowd and ensuring our dance floor was packed the whole night. Feedback from our guests was also very consistent and extremely positive.
Hiring King of Hearts as our wedding band was seriously one of the best decisions we made throughout the wedding process. From the beginning, Mark was incredibly responsive and truly a joy to work with. We loved how they would learn 3 songs for us (most bands we spoke with would only learn 1 or 2) and they absolutely killed them - you would never have been able to tell they had just learned them in the couple of weeks before. They also have a vast and unique library of song choices, and allow you to select in advance what you would want them to play. On the actual wedding day, they showed up ready to go and everything went off without a hitch! From the sound system for the ceremony to the cocktail hour and reception, everything went perfectly. They started off our reception with a few songs that truly got the party started and the dance floor really never stopped. All of our guests would not stop coming up to us and raving about how good the band was. We are so thankful to Mark and the phenomenal musicians of the King of Hearts band for bringing the dance floor wedding party vibes we had always dreamed of. We are so thankful to them for helping to make it the best night of our lives and would recommend them time and time again.
Everything about Mark and the King of Hearts Band was phenomenal. From a seamless planning process that took stress off of our plates pre-wedding, to an OUTSTANDING wedding day. They were definitely one of the highlights of our wedding.
We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect day, and an even better evening! King of Hearts Entertainment truly brought their A game to our wedding and did not disappoint. The band seamlessly transitioned through different genres, keeping everyone on the dance floor all night long. Their professionalism and attention to detail ensured that our special day flowed smoothly. And our guests have continuously reached out telling us how much they loved our band.
They helped run the audio for our ceremony, we had a guitarist play during the cocktail hour, and they played music throughout our reception. They were instrumental in making sure the day flowed seamlessly, working closely with our officiant and wedding planner. We also had some custom requests throughout the ceremony and reception and they executed every ask we had flawlessly.
Our two favorite things about King of Hearts was 1. their professionalism in the pre-wedding meetings and 2. the vibes they brought to the night. They were thorough in the questions they asked in our meetings leading up to the wedding. This gave us so much confidence going into the day that they were on top of everything and were experts in what they do. But more importantly, the vibes during our reception were unbelievable, with Mark joining the crowd and dancing with us and our guests. Not to mention the quality of the music and skill of the band. Just SO GOOD!
King of Hearts Entertainment went above and beyond to create an amazing experience for us. Their passion for what they do truly shows through in their work. We are grateful for the unforgettable memories they helped us create on our wedding day.
Thank you, King of Hearts Entertainment, for being a crucial part of our incredible occasion.
King of Hearts is the most amazing band, and we were beyond thrilled with their services!
My husband and I got married at the Mountain Top Resort in Chittenden, VT in July 2024, and hired King of Hearts as our wedding band. They also did live music during our ceremony and our cocktail hour. We were so thrilled with them, truly could not be happier! They were a pleasure to work with and get to know prior to the wedding. They were easy to set meetings with, and they were able to learn the specific songs we wanted for our special moments (first dance, parent dances, processional and recessional during the ceremony). We also loved the extensive song list they have, and they played almost every song we had requested from the list. They also did not play any songs on our do not play list. They stayed totally consistent with the vibes we asked for and made the wedding of our dreams come true. They went all out during the reception, interacted with the crowd, got everyone pumped up, and made it the best night of our lives! I 100% highly recommend hiring this band for your wedding or event!!
King of Hearts was the absolute best and Mark was so easy to work with leading up to the wedding. Mark and the band took our first dance song and added their own twist to it to make it more of what we wanted and it was incredible! We were running behind on our schedule, but right when they were able to start playing the entire wedding ran to the dance floor because KOH was so electric! There was even middle-of-the-dance floor sax action as well as a behind-the-head guitar solo! They were great with our special song requests and played songs for people of all ages. I’d recommend King of Hearts to anybody looking to have an incredible band for any function!!
KOH2 brought an amazing energy to our wedding and got everyone up and dancing! This group is truly talented and I was so happy they were able to learn some of my favorite songs. I would highly recommend!
King of Hearts - Atlanta:
Mark & his team were a delight to work with from day one! From our first meeting, Mark was energetic, informative, and honest about performance expectations. Mark made booking King of Hearts - Atlanta stress free, and was sure to keep us informed of what materials the band needed prior to wedding day. He was fantastic in ensuring that we were set up for success and a great evening from day one!
Specific to the band, Terry & the Atlanta Team put on a phenomenal show for our wedding! They interacted with the crowd, played music to the vibe of the audience, and kept the dance floor packed all night long. Past that, they are flat-out talented musicians and generally just delightful people to work with. Could not recommend them enough!
King of Hearts- Atlanta played for our daughter’s wedding in May and they were amazing! From cocktail hour, to dinner music, and through out the reception, the music was just perfect! Mark and the band were so professional and wonderful to work with. They accommodated all of my daughter’s special requests and even learned songs that were not on their playlist. Our guests loved them and the dance floor was full all night! We couldn’t have asked for a better band for our daughter’s special day and wouldn’t think twice about using them again! If you’re looking for a wedding band that’s easy to work with and extremely talented, call Mark and King of Hearts!
We had the absolute best experience with King of Hearts Entertainment - Atlanta! They were incredibly talented and brought so much fun energy to our special day. Everyone loved them, and people are still talking about how great they were weeks later!
Mark was easy to talk to and communicate with, which made planning very easy. The whole band was very easygoing and professional, making the entire process so fun!
We couldn’t have asked for a better band to celebrate with us. Highly recommend!
You do not need to look any further if you are looking for an outstanding live band for your wedding day. We knew King of Hearts was our band after our first phone call with Mark. The music they provide is like magic - your guests will be dancing and roaring to an atmosphere of upbeat fun, energy, and pure joy the night of your wedding. All of our guests raved about how incredible KOH was during our wedding. Aside from the music, we think it’s also important to specifically talk about working with Mark who leads the band. As most couples will figure out on their wedding planning journey, they will be working with a variety of vendors and a variety of different people. Mark is not only an insanely talented performer and musician, but he is also a true partner any couple could work with. Mark MC’d our wedding night and we could not have been more grateful for the help he provided in ensuring speeches and dancing went smoothly. He is someone you can talk through your ideas with and the overall vision you have for your wedding day - from the special dance songs to the general theme of what music you want played. Mark was always open to the ideas we wanted to try and incorporate, and he and his band did so flawlessly the day of!!! Working with Mark and KOH was one of the best parts of our wedding planning process. If you’ve made it to the end of this review, seriously, book them! You will not regret it.
Don't think twice about working with anyone else! Mark and the whole King of Hearts band are top notch. I was tasked with music selection by my fiancé for our wedding in Vermont this winter. I spoke to many bands in the Boston area, but after speaking with Mark and watching their content online, I knew they were the choice for us. Mark made the entire process so seamless. He's a true professional in every sense of the word and we always knew we were in good hands. From working with our venue, our planner and our song preferences and even his skills on the dance floor all made our day perfect. We got compliments from all our guests and had an absolute blast! Thank you again to Mark and the band. As Mark said to us, "people will remember the music, not the flowers." So true. Give KOH a call for your wedding, you won't regret it!
KING OF HEARTS ROCKED OUR WEDDING. We cannot say enough about Mark and his team our recommend them enough. He answered all of our questions and really put in so much effort leading up to our wedding. They absolutely brought down the house on our wedding day, the dance floor was packed. They were so much fun, full of energy, and interactive. Thank you guys for everything and if you are reading this if and want a band to be the talk of your wedding - call Mark at King of Hearts!
Mark and the King of Hearts band were a pleasure to work with and they brought so much energy to our reception! Just about everyone was on the dance floor and it was packed all night. We were so thrilled with the music and our guests are still talking about how much fun they had on the dance floor three months later. We also used their string musicians for our ceremony and the quartet musicians were so professional and talented — they really made our ceremony so beautiful. My advice to anyone searching for a great band for their event is to look no further and work with Mark. And — Mark, we can’t thank you and the band enough. You all really brought the energy and it was exactly what we wanted. You are all SO talented! Thank you for everything!
The dance floor was packed and our guests could not stop complimenting the band - we are so grateful that King of Hearts played at our wedding! Even though we were impressed by their demo videos online, it was nothing to the stylistic range, energy, and soul they brought to the music in person. The songs they learned for our wedding sounded better than we’d hoped, and our only regret is that the dancing couldn’t last forever!
My wife Katelyn and I had a wonderful experience working with King of Hearts in the run up and day of our wedding. They truly made the process so seamless and they brought an incredible energy to our celebration. You won’t regret working with them - highly recommend!
I don’t know where to start - Mark and the King of Hearts were incredible to work with and made our wedding so much fun. My husband and I couldn’t be happier with the energy and excitement King of Hearts brought to our wedding.
One thing I really appreciated from King of Hearts was that the phone call we had a week before my wedding completely put my nerves at ease. As many other brides will know, there is a lot of stress around the timing and “flow” of your reception. Mark is so professional and I trusted him completely to run the show. On the day of, everything ran so smoothly. I wasn’t worried about a single thing logistically and I was on the dance floor the entire night.
Every band member was so professional, immensely talented, and an absolute pleasure to work with. I hope all of my friends choose King of Hearts at their future weddings so we can dance all night with them again! 10/10 can’t recommend working with King of Hearts enough!
King of Hearts and String of Hearts created an amazing wedding event. The ceremony strings were perfect and musicians at the cocktail hour and reception were all first class. We danced all night and our guests said the band blew off the top of the tent, they were great it was wonderful.
Mark and the legendary King of Hearts crew are the exact band you *need* to set your wedding reception off right!
We initially emailed Mark at the beginning of our planning and he responded super quick and hopped on the phone with us the very next day. From then on, we knew his band would provide the right soundtrack for our special day.
Planning with Mark was even better. He knew the vibe we were looking for, helped us coordinate our ceremony music, emcee our reception, take special care of our special dances, and even a few requests. (Trust us when we tell you, this band nails everything from Chicago blues to Celine Dion!)
In the weeks since our wedding, our friends have raved to us about King of Hearts and they are so deserving of that praise and more.
You want a killer band that can play everything and keep the dance floor going all night? King of Hearts is the band for you!
Mark and King of Hearts Entertainment were the perfect addition to our wedding. We had seen them at a friend's wedding the year prior and they were the top of the list for our own celebration. Their assistance with the ceremony last minute was greatly appreciated, and the special songs they learned for the reception were done to perfection. Our guests have not stopped talking about how great the band was, and they kept guests of all ages on the dance floor until the very last song. The classics they performed during dinner were so great that tables of older guests got up to dance before the entrees were even served.
The King of Hearts Band was truly unforgettable! From start to finish they were so professional and always had great communication. Mark was so enjoyable to work with. He met with us a number of times to go over all the details to make sure everything was perfect for our special day! He handled all of the coordinating with getting the band to the Spring House on Block Island, which is no easy task.
At our wedding, the band did a phenomenal job! From the jazz they played at cocktail hour, to the great introductions Leon gave during dinner/speeches, and to their amazing performance during the first dances and the remainder of the dancing, everything was perfect! We got some many compliments from our guests on how tremendous the band was! They were all so engaging and had extraordinary energy! They played such a great variety of songs that had the guests on the dance floor the entire night!
We would totally recommend having the King of Hearts as your wedding band! You will not be disappointed! They are a tremendous value that will take your wedding to the next level, making it a night you will never forget! Thank you again KOH, we have only great things to say :)
The King of Hearts Band & Mark were one of the highlights of our wedding weekend!
They seamlessly blended professionalism with incredible talent. Their ability to adapt to the crowd's energy was outstanding. The even worked closely with a good friend and allowed her to sign on stage with them! Our wedding was a dance party for hours, all thanks to King of Hearts!
Can't recommend them enough :)
Hire this band! It will be one of the most talked about parts of your wedding. King of Hearts (KOH) is hands down the best wedding band in New England. They bring the energy of a rock concert to the wedding venue, and it is a contagious energy. Everyone at your wedding will be on the dance floor all night. One of the most impressive things about KOH is their range. They seamlessly transition from slow ballads to upbeat bangers, from oldies to pop and modern classics--and they sound absolutely spectacular in all of those genres and styles. This allowed us to request a range of songs for all the generations present on our guest list and really helped keep everyone interested in staying on the dance floor all night long.
Equally important, the band is incredibly well managed and thoughtful, so the entire process leading up to the actual wedding is easy and delightful. Mark and the band really take time to get to know you as a couple, including the type of music you most enjoy and the balance you want in your setlist. For our wedding, it was also a new venue for the band, and they reached out to our planner to do their own onsite visit with our planner several weeks before our wedding in order to fully understand the venue, set up, size, etc. Our planner specifically commented to us how appreciative she was that our band made that request of her, and how not every vendor would take such care to put in that extra effort. This anecdote should tell you everything you need to know about how much they will care and how hard they work to make your night perfect.
10/10! Could not recommend King of Hearts more. We had called probably 6-8 bands in the beginning of our wedding planning process and all of those calls felt very transactional and not personalized. Then we got to Mark and KOH. Mark was so so great on the phone and throughout the entire planning process. He made us feel at ease, that no question was silly or dumb to ask and always got back to us in a very timely manor. The performance that KOH put on for our wedding was one of the ages that our guests are still talking about to this day. Many many thanks to Mark and his KOH team for all they did to make our day that much more special.
King of Hearts performed at our wedding in July 2023. We had previously seen King of Hearts at a party 1-2 years earlier and we were so happy to be able to work with them for our wedding!
They were phenomenal and we had such a fun time!
They were easy to work with from the start. During the planning process, they were quick to respond and always answered any questions we had. They helped to coordinate a string trio for the ceremony music, MC’ed during the dinner reception, and played appropriate background music during cocktail hour and dinner.
They did an outstanding job during our reception. We enjoyed the variety of music they played. They had a great feel for the energy and tastes of the crowd and played music to fit the mood. There were people on the dance floor all night, and we’re still hearing from guests about how much they loved the band. We had such a fun time and would recommend them in a HEARTbeat!
The King of Hearts band is not only a blend of tremendous musicians and vocalists, it is a band full of energy, professionalism and fun! Being right there with them close to the dance floor....watching their phenomenal dance moves...and seeing their 'smiles' which proves they love what they do and they feed on the energy of the crowd. You all brought it!!! Thanks so very much Mark and team!!
Susan Oaks Little (mother of the bride)
Hiring The King Of Hearts band for our wedding was one of the best decisions we made. Mark (lead singer and point of contact) was so easy to work with - super responsive, kind, and helpful. He made the planning process so much less stressful than it could've been, and they threw an absolutely rocking party. One of our top priorities was a super fun dance party and KoH absolutely delivered. Our guests loved them, and even my 89 year old grandfather danced all night! We also ended up using them for our ceremony music a bit last minute, and they did a beautiful job. If you're looking for a super fun dance party, great music flow, and a vendor who's a dream to work with, look no further. We've been to a couple weddings since, and KoH is heads and shoulders above the rest.
They were absolutely amazing!
The band was made up of several talented musicians who played a wide variety of music, from classic rock to pop. They were able to read the crowd and play the songs that we wanted to hear. They also did a great job of interacting with the guests and getting everyone up and dancing.
The band was also very professional and easy to work with. They were on time for the rehearsal and the wedding, and they were very accommodating to our requests.
Overall, I would highly recommend King of Hearts to anyone who is looking for a great wedding band. They were professional, talented, and fun, and they made our wedding day even more special.
Here are some specific things that I loved about King of Hearts:
They were very responsive to our requests and were always willing to play the songs that we wanted to hear.
They were able to read the crowd and play the songs that would get everyone up and dancing.

If you are looking for a wedding band that will make your wedding day even more special, I highly recommend King of Hearts.
I had the absolute pleasure of hiring King Of Hearts Entertainment for my wedding day, and I cannot express enough how phenomenal they were. From the moment we booked them to the last song of the night, they exceeded all expectations, and working with Mark was an absolute dream.
First and foremost, the communication with King Of Hearts Entertainment was top-notch. Mark, in particular, was incredibly responsive, attentive, and professional throughout the entire process. He took the time to understand our musical preferences and ensured that every detail was accounted for. Mark's dedication and commitment to making our wedding day perfect was evident, and it made the entire planning experience a breeze.
When it came to their performance, King Of Hearts Entertainment was absolutely incredible. From the moment they took the stage, they had everyone on their feet and dancing. The musicians and vocalists were exceptionally talented, and their passion for music shone through in every song. The energy and enthusiasm they brought to the dance floor were infectious, and there was not a single moment when people were not grooving to the music.
Mark's charisma and stage presence were remarkable. He effortlessly engaged with the audience, creating an electric atmosphere that kept the energy high throughout the entire reception. His ability to connect with the crowd and get everyone involved was truly impressive.
King Of Hearts Entertainment made our wedding day an absolute blast. Their talent, professionalism, and ability to keep the dance floor packed were unparalleled. Working with Mark was an absolute pleasure, and his dedication to making our day unforgettable was evident from start to finish. If you're looking for a phenomenal band that will exceed your expectations and keep your guests entertained, I wholeheartedly recommend King Of Hearts Entertainment. They will create an atmosphere that you and your guests will cherish for a lifetime.
I've had the privilege to see King of Hearts perform as a guest and at my own wedding. Both performances were phenomenal. We received numerous texts from family and friends commending their performance. Mark went above and beyond our expectations including during the lead up to our date. His responses to our questions and requests were punctual and accurate. I will recommend King of Hearts to my closest friends and family as they prepare for their upcoming events. We were blown away with their performance and I struggle to find a single fault. As I'm sure most of you know the lead up to the date can become overwhelming with last minute changes, adjustments and honestly stress. KOH was one vendor we felt completely confident in, it was a pleasure doing business with them.
The absolute best of the best!!! Mark and the King of Hearts band brought insane energy throughout the night and had EVERYONE out on the dance floor. Even our wedding coordinator said they were the best band he’s ever seen and he’s been in the business for twenty years. They took our wedding to another level and made it so memorable for us and our guests. They played everything from rascal flatts to AC/DC to Chris brown & t-pain and everything in between!! The talent and the versatility and the level of entertainment they provided was just incredible and I will be replaying videos from our reception for a very long time!! So if you are thinking of booking a band for your wedding, CHOOSE KING OF HEARTS!!
King of hearts was one of the best wedding decisions that we made! Mark was incredible to work with from start to finish. They put on an incredible show that people are still raving about after the wedding has ended. Mark was also great at working through our reception timeline to make sure that it flowed the way that we wanted too.
On the day of he was great at getting everyone in order and executed on the timeline. King of Hearts also listened to our playlist requests and executed perfectly. King of hearts truly made our wedding day!
King of Hearts absolutely stole our hearts! After seeing their videos and following our first phone call with Mark, we knew we wanted to hire KOH for our wedding. They are so talented! We had the freedom of choosing our selection of songs for our reception and the band offered to learn 3 new songs of our choice - which we loved. We had a sax and keys for our cocktail hour and a full 7-piece band for our reception and everyone was raving about them! We are still getting compliments months later. The dance floor was never empty which is exactly what we wanted. Thank you for being the best party starters King of Hearts!
We loved working with King of Hearts Entertainment! They made the process super easy from the initial consult through the day of. Marc was very helpful during the coordination, and Deb & Leon brought the party to life day of!! Everything went just as scheduled, very accommodating and was so much fun!!
Certainly would recommend King of Hearts to anyone looking for a lively, engaging, fun energy wedding band with an extensive set-list to chose from!!
I am the father of a bride that were married in Vermont this past September. Having never hired a band before, I did not know what to expect. The king of hearts band blew me away with their talent, professionalism, and friendliness. I have already recommended this band to several of my friends. I certainly vouch for them. If you can get them, consider yourself lucky. Have fun and dance! (That’s what they do best).
King of Hearts ("KOH") is hands-down the perfect wedding band.
We planned our wedding during the pandemic and our wedding venue, the Woodstock Inn, recommended KOH. After communicating with several bands, we chose KOH because of the band's energy and music selection. We didn't realize until after we hired KOH how helpful Mark would be leading up to our wedding day. Throughout the entire wedding planning process, Mark was always very responsive, thoughtful, and generous with his time. We didn't have a wedding planner and Mark guided us through the flow of our reception from start to finish, provided suggestions based on his professional experience, and was by far the most responsive vendor we worked with (which is truly invaluable).
On the day of the wedding, KOH exceeded our expectations. The band set up speakers for a family member to officiate our ceremony and another family member to perform at the ceremony. The KOH keyboardist performed at the cocktail hour, which was an amazing perk included in the wedding package.
Finally, KOH was truly exceptional at the reception. From introducing us as a couple, to our first dance, parent dances, speeches, and dance sets, KOH was incredible. As soon as our reception started, we jumped into first dances and then a pre-dinner dance set, and KOH immediately got everyone on the dance floor. KOH expertly read the crowd and the dance floor was packed the entire night, catering to a wide array of backgrounds and music tastes. They were great at blending a mix of genres so that every guest had a great time. The musicians are extremely talented and professional.
Three months after our wedding, our guests are still gushing to us about how much they loved KOH. We heard from multiple guests that it was the best wedding band they've heard. One of our wedding guests is hiring KOH for her own wedding. We cannot recommend KOH enough.
King of Hearts and Mark are the best band you can have at your wedding. Across performance, professionalism, and punctuality, Mark and his crew were superb in all three aspects.
Performance – Mark and his crew had everyone dancing all night. Mark expertly read the crowd and kept the dance floor exciting. Further, Mark and his crew went out of his way to learn oldies to accommodate the various music preferences at our wedding. It honestly felt we had front seats at a concert where my wife and I were the VIPs. We personally believe that Mark and his crew of talented musicians are the best performers we have seen at weddings, and we have been to many weddings.
Professionalism – Mark and his crew were true professionals at heart. Their instruments and equipment sounded flawless all night. They adjusted all the volume ahead of time to ensure we had the perfect sound quality for speeches and songs. Mark and his crew went above and beyond set up instruments and speakers at our ceremony for a special performance from our family members. Mark and his crew were flawless in their performance.
Punctuality – Wedding can be a hectic day with many time changes, and our wedding was not the exception. Mark and his crew were always ready ahead of time, and they were always accommodating when changes happened. Mark and his crew were beyond punctual, and we truly thank them for their flexibility.
At our wedding, we had friends asking for Mark’s contact information, and I think it speaks volumes to how good of a band King of Hearts and Mark are. We were blessed to have Mark and King of Hearts at our wedding, and 10/10 we would ask them again.
King of Hearts went above and beyond for our wedding and we are so happy that we hired them for our big day. Working with Mark, the band manager, on the details leading up to the wedding was a breeze as he was incredibly responsive and very easy to work with. He responded timely to all of our questions and was very organized. I requested for one of my bridesmaids to perform a song with the band, and my mother in law had requested for a family member to surprise us with another performance, and Mark and the band made it happen seamlessly. The band provided the equipment for our ceremony and played our selected music from spotify. The ceremony went off without a hitch. The band did a phenomenal job setting the tone of our wedding reception. Leon was a fantastic MC as well as a lead singer. Deb was the co-lead singer and they sounded amazing together as well as solo. We had them learn three songs for us and each was executed beautifully. Our guests also loved how the lead guitarist played in the middle of the dancefloor and let us strum away on his guitar. The band was very interactive and high energy which is just what we wanted to get the crowd going and keep the dancefloor grooving all night long. We received such high remarks from our guests about our wedding band, so thank you King of Hearts for an unforgettable night! You made our wedding so special and we can't thank you enough!
Couldn't recommend highly enough - this band brought so much joy to the wedding. On a 90+ degree, humid, outdoor July day I was skeptical the dance floor was going to make it, but KOH got everyone from puddled on folding chairs to tearing up the dance floor. They bring such energy. Mark was also an absolute pleasure to work with - prompt, kind, great listener, and all about bringing the vibes we wanted.
Booking King of Hearts was up there as one of the best decisions we made throughout the entire wedding planning process. From the beginning, Mark completely understood our vibe - he guided us through the process and was so helpful, knowledgable, and accommodating. We knew King of Hearts was going to be good, but nothing could have prepared us for how much they absolutely KILLED IT at our wedding. Our guests have not stopped raving about them one month later! We had so many people say that it was the best wedding band they'd seen, and the most fun wedding they had been to- the dance floor was packed the entire night. KOH also handled our sound for the ceremony and reception, which went flawlessly. If we were to do it all over again, there's no doubt that KOH would be our top pick. We have given there name out to so many people since our wedding! Mark & team, we can not thank you enough for making our wedding a night to remember for not just us but all of our guests.
Mark and the King of Hearts band brought the house DOWN on our wedding night! From our first call, we knew we were making the right call with our choice of wedding band. Their communication was top notch, and the set they played had all 150 people on their feet for the entire night. Every musician was fantastic, from the keyboards, guitars, percussionists, to the amazing vocalists - we would hire them for a party in a heart beat.
We had several guests tell us how incredible King of Hearts was, and we can’t stop raving about what an amazing night was had by all. They brought all the energy, and had everyone involved the entire night.
Don’t hesitate even a little bit to book them - you will not be disappointed. Thank you King of Hearts for an incredible night!!!
We booked the King Of Hearts band for our wedding and oh my goodness!!! We had the BEST TIME EVER! Every single guest absolutely RAVED about the band. Our wedding had a lot of older people in attendance and even they danced the night away. We did the package that included the band learning 3 songs and it was SO special. We had them learn the parent dance songs as well as our last dance song and it was PERFECT! Even my mom, who can be difficult to please, was impressed at the overall experience and thoroughly surprised that they learned the three songs! Mark was amazing when it came to getting everything organized & not to mention he is so nice and made the experience fun! We had them do the ceremony, cocktail hour, and a 5 hour reception. Obviously I can not recommend them enough! Anyone looking to book a band for their wedding in the New England area should BOOK KING OF HEARTS NOW!!!!
We booked Finesse (through King of Hearts) for our wedding and they were absolutely a dream! Everyone, including us, absolutely loved the band. They did such an amazing job and really made our night so special. The band learned a special version of our first dance song and executed it perfectly. I could not recommend them enough!
We could not have been more grateful to have KOH join us for our wedding day!
Mark and team were thoughtful in their approach, curating the music we wanted to hear on our wedding day. They learned songs that were special to us and played them beautifully.
They were incredible from start to finish, including supporting the audio for our ceremony itself, to a beautiful cocktail hour, topped off with an absolute ripper on the dance floor. It was everything you could ask for, and more.
I could not recommend them enough!
I hired King of Hearts Entertainment for the Town of Narragansett's annual concert series at the Narragansett Town Beach. Mark is fantastic to work with and is extremely accommodating, timely, professional, and friendly. He makes it very easy to book and talk to. The band is incredible. We hire about 20 bands per summer between two different venues for our summer concert series and they are one of my favorites. The band is truly incredible and we have received many compliments on how great they are. They engage with the audience, are high energy, and definitely get everyone, of all ages, up and dancing. I tried to book them for my own wedding, but unfortunately they were already booked on that day. They are a great band and even better people that can play any setting, not just weddings. I am already looking to book them for our Town's concert series next year and hope to continue our relationship and have them year after year.
To put it simply - King of Hearts exceeded every expectation we had for our wedding band experience. We already knew how much we liked working with Mark leading up to our wedding at Shepherd’s Run this August 2022. He made the entire experience planning for the big day easy, no stress, and fun! But it wasn’t until the big day that we realized just how much we had hit the jackpot working with this band. They had our guests up off their feet dancing from the very beginning and set a tone for the night that let people know we were ready to party! The music variety was perfect to balance out the many different ages we had at our wedding and it felt like there was never a lull or a dip in the energy. Let’s put it this way, not even our 80+ year old grandparents and great aunts sat down all night. We were too busy having a blast and watching Mark and team do their thing. They got what we wanted for the night and delivered an experience more then we could have ever imagined. Not to mention the talent! This band can perform. Mark alone has enough charisma, swagger, and soul to rival any performer I have seen and he has an energy you just want to be around. Thank you thank you thank you for making our wedding more fun then we could have ever imagined. We absolutely will continue to rave about KOH for a long time to come and highly recommend anyone who is looking to check them out immediately. You will be just as amazed and happy as we are, guarantee it!
We LOVE KOA! Best dance party I've ever been to! We loved the band - super easy to work with and very responsive.
5 stars isn't enough!!!!! King of Hearts is simply the BEST. There are no amount of words in the world to describe how amazingly talented they are- you just have to see them!! I went to a friend's wedding 5 years ago, where KOH was the band, and it was the most fun wedding I had EVER been to because of KOH. It was the first wedding I had been to where I wanted to dance the entire night and didn't want the music to end!! I knew that night that KOH was the band I wanted for my own wedding! And I was soooo excited and thankful that 5 years later, when I was planning my own wedding, I was able to book them! It was the best decision we made. From the very first song of the night, EVERY single guest was up on the dance floor. Nobody sat down!! Nobody wanted KOH to stop singing at the end of the night either- everyone was cheering for one more song!! Mark is BEYOND talented and entertaining. He has such a passion for what he does, and that energy comes through the entire time he's singing. He truly gives his all/1000% effort into making sure you and your wedding guests have the time of their lives. He has such a natural ability to get the crowd going and we absolutely loved how he was on the dance floor for songs and interacting with our guests! Female lead singer is absolutely amazing as well!! So many guests were complementing her voice all night, esp for her version of "Rolling in the Deep." Our wedding was a month ago, and our guests are still telling us how much they loved our band. KOH made our wedding night a total blast for all of our guests, regardless of age. Our wedding was the 3rd wedding we've been at with KOH as the band and all 3 of those weddings had the entire crowd on the dance floor for the entire night. There's a saying that "the band makes a wedding" and with KOH that is 10000% true. We will forever be grateful to Mark and the entire KOH band for making our wedding reception such a fun and memorable one, and a total blast. We had many international guests from Ireland, who had been joking beforehand that they "weren't sure how fun an American wedding would be." And now they are still raving about how our band, KOH, more than anything else, for making the night so much fun and saying that KOH "blew away all of their expectations!" for a fun wedding.
Several of my nephews were ring bearers, ages 5-10, and Mark was so kind to them, letting them borrow an extra microphone and showing them how to move around the dance floor/showing them some dance moves! They had the time of their lives!!
Lastly, we want to mention how responsive and kind Mark was throughout the entire process. Book KOH!! It'll be the best decision you make. We hope we'll have the opportunity to hear KOH play again- as we can't even describe how fantastic they are in every way. Thank you Mark and KOH!!!
My daughter was married on Saturday, July 9, 2022, and had King of Hearts as her band. They are the BEST BAND we could ever ever imagine! I can't even put into words how fantastic this band is! We went to my daughter's best friend's wedding 4 years ago and King of Hearts played at that wedding. We knew immediately we wanted this band. So we booked them as soon as we picked our wedding date!! If you want your guests to have the time of their lives, book KOHE, if you want your guests to be on the dance floor the whole time, book KOHE, if you want everyone at your wedding to comment about KOHE being the best band they ever danced to and they had the most fun ever, book KOHE! Don't walk, but RUN to book them. Mark is the nicest, kindest, most respectful, friendliest gentleman, very efficient and responsible on getting back to us! We hired him for an extra hour and we are so glad we did. The guests were shouting for more, more! Even my 7 grandsons ages 5-15 had a blast and Mark was so kind and great with them on the dance floor. He also got on the dance floor himself and connected with the dancing guests, and had the bride and groom sing along! We highly recommend Mark and all his talented players and female singer! Thank you Mark for making our wedding THE BEST EVER!!!! We wish you much success and happiness. We loved having you at our daughter's wedding!!!!
To say Mark and the rest of the band delivered would be an understatement. From day one of planning out the details of our wedding, Melissa and I knew that having the right band there for our wedding day was paramount. King of Hearts crushed it, period. They nailed their own take on songs they learned for our first dance as well as father/daughter and mother/son dances. They engaged our wedding guests throughout the night and kept everyone on their feet from start to finish. We are beyond grateful you were able to play such a big part in our wedding and will reflect with great joy on the vibe you brought to our day. Cheers!
If The Knot allowed me to give more than five-stars, I would do so with pleasure!
It’s been just under one month since our wedding and we’re still getting calls from our guests that we hosted “the most fun wedding they have ever attended”. The King of Hearts band is a huge reason for that sentiment.
Everyone wants a perfect wedding day. So much effort is spent agonizing over every detail, emailing vendors about minutia. Whereas your wedding may be just another gig for some vendors, that is far from the case with the King of Hearts band. Mark treated us as if we were family, anticipating every need, solving every problem, and exceeding every expectation.
For those of you digging through these reviews (just like I did) in search of the perfect wedding band, I will leave you with two pieces of advice. First, as impressive as KoH’s online content is, it truly undersells how incredible they are in-person. As most of these reviews will confirm, these musicians are extremely talented and well-practiced. Lastly, do not overlook the importance of a quality MC: your guests are going to feed off the energy of the night’s master of ceremonies. With Mark’s charm and charisma leading the way, you couldn’t be in better hands.
The only problem with the King of Hearts band is figuring out how I’m going to convince them to play at all of our future family functions!
Finesse was amazing!!!! Each member of the band is so talented and they did an awesome job! They brought the party to life and kept it going all night! Every wedding guest has said that they were so much fun! We had a blast! THANK YOU!
Organization leading up the event was also very spot on- we had to postpone our event twice due to Covid and they were understanding.
Where to begin?! From the planning process through the wedding weekend - Mark and his band were nothing but thoughtful, accommodating and kind. They put up with my husband and I changing our first dance song 3 times and were motivated to make our night perfect. Now let’s get to the reception - Prior to my own wedding, I had never seen a wedding band not take ONE BREAK!! They were full of energy and great vibes all night long. Our guests did not leave the dance floor and they performed crowd pleaser after crowd pleaser. We are so grateful to have booked with KOH. We’ll be reaching out next time we have a need for a 10/10 band in the northeast! Thank you for everything!
The King of Hearts band was absolutely amazing! I keep thinking about our wedding day and the party atmosphere they brought. I still have wedding guests reaching out saying it was the most fun wedding they have ever been to, and I truly have the band to thank. I never thought our dance floor would be too small, but every single guest was on the dance floor and some even overflowed onto the grass. This band is so talented and creates the best energy! If you are even thinking about having them, do it, don’t hesitate. They made the wedding the most fun, even my 90 year old grandmother was on the dance floor because she couldn’t resist! Not to mention, Mark knows how to get the crowd going. Not only was it so easy to do all the pre- work with him, then the night of, he came out onto the dance floor and pumped everyone up. I seriously wish I could relive this day over and over because it was that much FUN!
Mark and all of King of Hearts,
Saturday was truly INCREDIBLE. You all are so fantastic and so talented. Thank you all so much for everything - from planning to day of, you made everything so seamless and so much fun!!!
Beyond a great repertoire of songs and incredible talent performing each of them, you guys brought tons of energy to our wedding. People we did not expect to dance danced all night!
Everyone kept saying you are the best band ever and we could not agree more!! We can’t stop smiling!!! Thank you, thank you!!!
-Nikki and Matt
It seems silly to try and sum up our gratitude in an email, but here's an attempt!
Thank you SO, SO much for your incredible performance on Friday night - the celebration was truly unforgettable and the band was an integral part of it. We wouldn't change a single thing (except the two year wait!!!) and are truly, immensely appreciative of your stellar work.
Mark and his team were a joy to work with from start to finish! He was so responsive and invested in the lead up to our wedding, great communication and very accommodating in discussing our ideas for our day. And on the wedding day itself, they were incredible! Clearly so talented, engaging, and very professional. We had several people mention how much they loved the band and their music and one guest even asked if they’d travel to Utah for their wedding! Clearly everyone had a great time and we’re so thankful to KOH for all they did to make our celebration so fun!!
Choosing a band was one of our top priorities and the second I spoke with Mark, I knew I needed King of Hearts at our wedding. I had spoken with a few other bands and never felt that instant “This is them!” moment like I had with Mark. Very genuine, confident and professional. I also liked that the band is not just randomly put together but practice together so you know what you are going to get–this was extremely important to us. We all know about the crazy amount of weddings going on at this time but based on his quick response time and communication, Mark made us feel like we were his only client. Mark made the process so easy and fun!! KOH made our first dance more special than we could have ever imagined–we had a choreographed dance and Mark shared he had done a cover of our song in the past and when he sent me his version, there was no question it was the version we wanted performed..It also is the reason we added another lead vocalist–shoutout to Leon!! We also had a few other special requests and they went above and beyond in creating memories I will never forget! KOH had the perfect combination of engaging the crowd and performing—never being too corny or cliche! They are experts getting the crowd of all ages on the dance floor without it being forced. Not to mention their talent is UNBELIEVABLE!! Endless compliments and guests continue to rave about how impressed they were. My uncle, who is not the biggest dancer, said he has never danced or had so much fun at a wedding. We had a NYE wedding and of course the guests were chanting “Encore!” and KOH delivered…the video I received from one of my friends timestamped at 1:00am shows a completely packed and high energy dance floor..still going strong 5 hours later. Guests that thought they would not make it much further than midnight said they did not want to miss another song! Get them booked before it is too late–you will not regret it!
We got married at the Mountain Top in Vermont over Labor Day Weekend, and choosing a band was one of our top priorities. We looked into and interviewed close to ten different bands, and ultimately chose KOH for a number of reasons – and are SO glad we did!! Our goal was to have every age group on our guest list – from 8 year old cousins to our 80 year old grandma – out on the dance floor, and it happened!! Our guests are STILL raving about the music and performance 4 months later. KOH read the room at every turn, and played the perfect mix of top 40 and oldies to keep the crowd LOVING it! Mark is also an incredible emcee, and managed the entire flow of the reception so smoothly, transitioning from speeches to dinner to dancing to cake cutting without missing a beat. One of the big reasons I initially chose KOH was because my very first phone call was with Mark, the lead singer AND my main point of contact throughout the entire planning process. This was so important to me because I knew nothing would slip through the cracks or get lost in translation between someone handling bookings/details and the actual band, which can happen with bigger operations. Mark was patient, kind, professional and an absolute pleasure to work with. And at our actual wedding, he and the rest of the team CRUSHED it! He also handled sound for our outdoor ceremony, and if you're getting married at the Mountain Top I definitely recommend having KOH take care of this. It was truly the best day of our lives, and King of Hearts brought the reception to an entirely different level. If you're on the fence about hiring them, this is your sign to DO IT! Thanks Mark and team!!
Our wedding planner recommended KOH, and we could not be happier that we listened and chose KOH! She told us that they had incredible energy and an extensive song list, and she was exactly right. They went above and beyond our expectations on our wedding day! They did a wonderful job during dinner, and they got everyone on the dance floor immediately after dinner. No one wanted to leave the dance floor and many of our guests commented on how incredible KOH was. If you love music and don't want to leave the dance floor on your wedding night, we would 100% recommend choosing KOH! You will not regret it!
A fabulous choice! My sister had hired King of Hearts for her wedding in September 2016 and they were incredible. The moment we began planning our wedding, I knew who to reach out to. An amazing band! We had so much fun! They stood by us through the planning process, even after we had to reschedule everything due to COVID. Always there to answer any and all questions we had, and quick to respond. Highly recommended to all.
Mark and the King of Hearts band are BEYOND talented!!! By far the best wedding band you could ever go with, and a must for your big day! Every single guest has not stopped raving about the incredible talent of each member of the band. They also helped bring the energy and MC the wedding. We could not be more thankful that we went with Mark and King of Hearts. Mark is friendly and approachable, and makes time to speak with you in advance of your wedding. Cannot go wrong!
King of Hearts had our heart from the minute we first heard them play! We knew their vibe was going to be the highlight of our wedding reception--from the variety of music they play to the upbeat way they engage with the audience and keep the excitement going all evening. Our guests were dancing from the very first song to the very last! Never before had we seen people dancing before the first course was served and not stop until the lights came on at the end of the night. King of Hearts is THAT amazing!
Not to mention they are incredibly professional, talented, and supportive to make sure that our day was everything we imagined and more! Mark went above and beyond to make sure that everything was taken care of, and helped guide us through the process so it all went smoothly. He was also there for us when Covid moved our wedding out by a year and he was nothing but kind and understanding during a challenging time for us. If you are going to have a band at your event, look no further because King of Hearts is THE BEST one you'll find!
King of Hearts were the MVPs of our celebration! So many guests commented on how impressed they were with our band. It’s all thanks to the KOH team! They brought incredible energy, and are so talented. They even learned a new song on the fly after multiple guests requested it.
They had a large set list with songs for us to prioritize, were really communicative throughout the process, and very easy to work with. From our first dance, they set the tone. Once guests could dance almost no one was sitting.
Thank you King of Hearts! We feel so lucky to have gotten to work with you.
We hired King of Hearts for our wedding day. Three band members played for cocktail hour and the full band + additional members played for the reception. The group was electric, entertaining and really made our evening such a blast. People continued to rave about KOH for weeks afterwards and now a couple of our friends are looking to use them for upcoming weddings. Would absolutely recommend!
This band rocked! They brought energy, enthusiasm, and talent to our wedding and got people grooving! We were told many times by our guests in the days and weeks that followed how much they enjoyed the band and being on the dance floor. They were not only a great band, but highly communicative and responsive in the months leading up to the event. We HIGHLY recommend them!
Mark and the KOH Bands were fantastic. So many of our guests went out of their way to say how great they were. We had a lot of special requests and Mark was extremely flexible. Set up was a breeze. Mark's demeanor and of course his voice, just made my Daughter's wedding. Five star all the way!
King of Hearts was AMAZING! We could not have asked for a better band. King of Hearts had our entire wedding on the dance floor all night long. Additionally, they were communicative, professional, and personable to work with. I would highly recommend them for any wedding/event!
King of Hearts was an amazing band! We hired them in 2018 for our 2020 wedding, which due to Covid was in 2021. Mark was great with communication and planning. We had a number of venue and date changes and Mark helped us work through everything along the way
Prior to our wedding the band asked us to complete a questionnaire which allowed us to select up to 3 songs for them to learn as well as questions about the logistics and timing of the event. We were also able to submit songs to them prior to our wedding that we wanted to hear them play.
The band arrived early to set up and were ready to go with an awesome set up and lighting. They kept the dance floor going and we’re very engaging with the crowd! Our guests loved them as well and everyone had an awesome time!
King of Hearts was an extraordinary band and exceeded any hope we could have had. I had friends commenting for weeks on how much they loved the performances. From their piano playing during the ceremony to the solo guitar at cocktail hour to Mark's incredible emcee work to the whole band bringing the house down with their performances through the night, every single aspect of what they could offer went perfectly. What a gift it was to work with them. They had a friend of mine (one of our guests) who had literally told his wife on their wedding day, “remember this day because I will not dance again,” to dance. And he danced a lot! Everyone was on their feet having a ball, and it was thanks to King of Hearts being so wonderful. I’ve been to a lot of weddings. It is the rare one when people dance every opportunity of the night. And I should mention working with Mark was easy through the whole process, and they were so accommodating when we had to postpone due to the pandemic by a year. If you're reading this review, do yourself a favor and book them. We'd just show up to their concerts if we could; they're that spectacular.
