My husband and I have seen NKG perform at family-style festivals and at bars. The performers were amazing, and interactive with the crowd and we always had fun at their events.
For our wedding, we love dancing and wanted our guests to be out on the dance floor with us. Glenn was our point-of-contact with NKG (and was the drummer on our wedding day). He was very professional and flexible. This was their 1st Indian wedding but Glenn was very excited about working with the priest to figure out the ceremony music and then incorporating Indian music into the playlist during the reception. We had a details meetings where he walked us through things that we had not considered and had great suggestions while staying true to our vision for the wedding.
On the wedding day, NKG was on time & prepared & did their thing without needing additional help. They were amazing during the reception & our guests loved all the dancing!
We would highly recommend NKG both as a band and DJ.

Hiring NKG was by far the best decision we made for our wedding! Everyone told us afterward that our wedding was the most fun wedding they had ever been to! NKG had people up and dancing the entire night and everyone had a BLAST. The MC services provided earlier in the reception were also top notch.

NKG brought the life of the party to our wedding reception! Prior to dancing, Jimmy, the band leader was the MC of the reception and he did an outstanding job keeping the flow of the reception going and doing introductions. Jimmy was also professional in our meetings prior to the wedding discussing details of how we wanted the night to go. He was great to work with! The band kept the party alive, keeping the crowd jumping and everyone had a BLAST. They also brought props and we did a limbo and conga line. They also knew I love Taylor Swift and did a few Taylor songs and let me take the mic to sing “shake it off” with our guests… i did not know they were going to do that and it was a highlight of my reception. Look no further than NKG for your wedding band!

NKG BROUGHT.THE.PARTY. When my fiance and I were researching wedding entertainment, we knew we wanted something electric. We couldn't find a DJ that seemed to bring the energy, and we didn't want to hire just another brass band.... Enter: the Naked Karate Girls. After seeing them perform live at Hooters (point 1 for NKG) we immediately knew that this was what we were looking for. NKG brought the energy, the props, and the tech to our wedding day. Our guests haven't stopped talking about "that wild band that blew toilet paper on everyone" and I (the bride) haven't stopped watching footage from the party. Seeing our closest friends and family have the best time on the dance floor just reassures me that we picked right! I'd highly recommend booking their full, biggest package service for the day. They helped create an evening timeline and provided an emcee for the reception. We also took advantage of NKG's add-on service to provide a sound system for our ceremony and cocktail hour (same site, different locations around the venue). They did everything they could to make the evening epic, and they succeeded. It truly was the greatest (and most unique) party in the galaxy!!!

We wanted a party, and let me tell you - NKG gave us a freaking party. We always knew we wanted live entertainment for our wedding but spent a long time trying to find the right one. We are so happy with our decision to hire NKG for our wedding. Our guests continue to say that our wedding reception was the best wedding reception they’ve ever been to - they always mention our band and “the drummer with long hair and the wind”. Our dance floor was packed, ALL NIGHT LONG. It was everything we had ever hoped for. If you’re looking to keep your guests entertained, your dance floor full all night long, to not have a voice because you’re singing so loudly, and your feet to hurt from dancing so hard - look no further.

The NKG brought our wedding to the next level! They emceed both our ceremony & reception and it all ran seamlessly. Our band leader, Tyler, was very easy to work with from the start and even created a custom song mix for my father/daughter dance which surprised my dad and made him tearful! They brought the party for the reception and had everyone on the dance floor. I consistently had guests come to me all night (& now weeks later) about how awesome the band was! We will be talking about our night for years to come thanks to the NKG. PHENOMENAL!!!

Matthew and I hired NKG for our wedding and they exceeded all expectations. The band manager, Glenn, was very helpful and led us through the entire process. They kept the crowd out on the dance floor all night and they did an excellent job MCing other parts of the wedding. We cannot say enough about how they performed. We would recommend NKG to any other couples looking for a great band and wanting to keep the party and guests entertained all night!

We hired NKG for our wedding in Asheville, NC. By far, the BEST decision we made when it came to any wedding vendor. This group is absolutely amazing. We had a small wedding (75 guests) but the way the dance floor was full all night it felt like we had double that. There's always certain guests you expect to not dance or leave early, but NKG really keeps the party going ALL night and those guests actually stayed till the end and danced! NKG was just full of surprises that keep the guests interested and involved. We have gotten SO MANY compliments on NKG. Multiple guests saying it was the best wedding ever simply because of the band and that they can't stop rewatching videos they took. NKG handled EVERYTHING and made our wedding beyond special. I would hire them 1000 times over. BOOK THEM NOW!!

NKG Band was AWESOME for our wedding! They took control of the reception, there was absolute no stress for us, and they of course BROUGHT THE PARTY and had our guests up and dancing for hours! The family loved them, the kids loved them, my friends loved them, my coworkers loved them.. if I wasn't already married to my husband 2 hours prior, hell I would have married them. They even brought my boss's wife on stage (with my permission) and she STILL talks about how that was the best wedding she's ever been to! My boss laughed his ass off!! I got a raise!!! They had so many unique and fun ideas to keep guests entertained. They totally know how to party, make the day so much easier, and listen and accommodate based upon your needs. We were looking for a good time, and they delivered! They were also able to accommodate and took care of the wedding music during the ceremony. They rock. 10/10 would drink more beers and party with those guys. Tell your Dad to get out his checkbook and write the check now.. Just pull the trigger, my friend. These guys are the shit and unless you're a square, there's no reason you shouldn't hire them. NKG BABY!

If you are on the hunt for a band for your wedding....honestly you can stop looking now. These guys absolutely ROCKED it for us and our guests. We had SEVERAL guests tell us this was the best wedding band they have ever seen. We had several others who are more "DJ" people and said that they thoroughly enjoyed NKG and it may have shifted their thoughts on DJ vs band at weddings. They went above and beyond what we expected as they promised. Wouldn't have it any other way, 12/10 would recommend them to throw you and your significant and your guests an absolutely epic party.

5 STAR REVIEW!! We had heard great things through friends that experienced NKG and our's was nothing short of incredible. Our first meeting with NKG gave us such a great feeling that our wedding day was going to be special. They were extremely professional, attentive, and most importantly wanted to make sure the day/evening would be perfect for us. They even traveled to our wedding in Chicago!
Come the day of the wedding, NKG brought the party! I still remember the speeches ended, the band began and everyone rushed to the dance floor. And no one left till the party was over! They had great song selections for all ages young & old, fun outfit changes, and never let the party die down.
NKG made our wedding day so special and I cannot recommend them enough. Thank you NKG for the memories!! We love you!!!!!

This band was hands down the best decision we made for our big day. The dance floor was full the entire night. I was out there almost the entire time because every time i was off the dance floor, I had fomo. Glenn made the process very easy for us and took all of the input we gave him into their performance. The band made us feel so special and really made the entire evening fun and spontaneous. All of our guests were talking asking about the band and complementing us as the most fun wedding they had been to because of this band. If you are looking for showmanship, a party and all around great time, you must book this band.

If you are from Cincinnati and you have not seen this band, then you are missing out. This crew really goes all out for weddings and has a few surprises in store if you book them! They were easy to work with and sincerely made the entire experience enjoyable. Not to mention the MC crushed it and they put on a stellar show!! My guests have not stopped with the compliments and I haven't stopped dreaming about that night. Thanks for making our night so special NKG!!

We knew we wanted to have a live band at our wedding and after seeing one of NKG's shows, it was a no brainer that they should be our entertainment. Glenn was extremely attentive to all of the details and asked lots of questions to make sure our day was perfect. The band was extremely professional the day of our wedding. All of our guests enjoyed the music and dancing. There have been no regrets with hiring NKG for our wedding.

Best Band Ever! Literally everyone at our reception said we had one of the best weddings of the year because of this band! We asked them if they would play music while we shot off fireworks and they did it without question. Our day had a couple snaffoos but NKG was definitely there to make it the best day ever!

We had to have a last minute switch in wedding bands, and NKG was there with us every step of the way to ensure are wedding would be great! NKG did exactly everything we asked when it came to our wedding day, we had requested certain things from them and they did exactly that. They do a great job keeping the dance floor packed! There was not a single time that I felt that they had to “wrangle” the crowd back in. There was not a single worry on wedding day about the band not doing what they promised. They know exactly how to read the crowd and get everyone (even grandmother) out of their seat. There is no doubt they will make your wedding what you want!

Our experience with NKG was the same as almost every other reviews on here - amazing! They brought the party and got everyone out on the dance floor and kept them there all night.

If you’re looking for a band to create a uniquely fun atmosphere, hire NKG!

Naked Karate Girls are completely worth the money. Be sure to request a quote, because it probably isn't as much as you might think.
Our wedding coordinator was kind of trash and didn't do her job worth a crap. The venue manager and NKG were awesome and didn't hesitate at all to pick up the slack and do the Master of Ceremonies stuff to make sure our wedding was awesome.
- They always responded in a timely manner.
- We had the luck of trying to get married during the start of Covid. NKG was awesome and completely understanding and accommodating when we had to re-schedule everything.
- They did awesome helping us plan everything to achieve our vision of what we wanted, while also giving super helpful and experienced suggestions.
- We had the ceremony and reception in the same room so *everything* had to be setup earlier than normal. NKG was completely setup and ready to rock in a timely manner before everything kicked off.
NKG rocked the entire reception. We had the dance floor packed all night because everyone was having so much fun. Of all the weddings I've been in and been to, I have never seen so many people still there until the very end. And it was even on a Sunday night. Many people said it was the most fun they had ever had a reception.
Don't judge NKG if you've only seen them at big, public, PG rated events. They are totally different and 1000x more fun and energetic at private bars and wedding Receptions.
If you want your wedding to be the same old boring wedding where everyone leaves early. Go with your family friend DJ. If you want the best reception party most people will ever attend, get the Naked Karate Girls.
Special shout out to our contacts, Glenn and Tyler!

DON'T HESITATE - HIRE NKG! I don't even know where to begin to express how much we love the Naked Karate Girls and how amazing they made our wedding! We hired them a year ago in preparation for our wedding and from the initial conversation with Glenn, they were so professional and a total class act.
Glenn helped us create the timeline for our special day and made sure that they incorporated everything that was important to us! The entire band executed the timeline and requests perfectly! As the bride, I didn't have to worry for one minute on our wedding day about how things were running since they ran it perfectly from start to finish. They were fantastic MC's and brought so much energy from beginning to end. Our dance floor LITERALLY never cleared. I am not exaggerating when I say that it was packed the entire time. They also made all of my wedding day dreams come true by bringing the sombreros, which took the party to the next level! We even had a sombrero conga line which was AMAZING!
We had so many people come up to us to tell us how they had more fun at our wedding than they ever had before and that was definitely thanks to NKG!
I know how stressful wedding planning can be, but if I can give you one recommendation, it is to hire NKG for your wedding! You won't regret it! THANKS NKG, WE LOVE YOU GUYS!

YOU WILL REGRET NOT HIRING NKG!!! People are still talking about our wedding.. because of the band. People that “don’t dance” were on the dance floor all night, no matter the age. They know how to keep the party going, whether it’s the sombreros, the limbo, costume changes, props, songs, I could go on and on. They were also super thoughtful and helpful prior to the wedding and we didn’t have to worry about a thing during the wedding. Hiring NKG was the best decision we made foe our big day.

Be prepared for the Naked Karate Girls to turn your wedding reception up to 11. They bring the party and get anyone who could ever possibly be interested in dancing on the floor. Best. Wedding. Band. Ever. If you are interested in a band to provide light ambient music all night long, I guess they could do it, but that's like buying a two seater for the trunk space.
Glenn (the band leader) is beyond professional, start to finish. He fully understands what it takes to have a successful wedding reception and makes it happen. From scouting the crowd at cocktail hour to prepare an optimized set list to making accommodation with the ebb and flow of a live crowd, they know how to get it done. Every guest let us know that the band was phenomenal. Absolutely worth every penny.
We had to reschedule our 2020 wedding to 2021 due to COVID-19 lockdown restrictions and we set the new date based around two vendors' availability: the church, and the Naked Karate Girls. We would do it again.

NKG is the BEST entertainment you can have at your wedding; they work incredibly hard, are high energy, and keep everyone on the dance floor.
My experience with NKG goes back to when they helped me surprise my sister at her wedding with my MOH toast. Before the wedding I mixed the music with Glenn so that it all timed out right and it was hilarious. Flash forward EIGHT YEARS LATER and they played at my wedding. They remembered me, my sister, my BIL; they made me feel special - which, if you think about it, is a pretty large feet for a 'band'.
I asked a lot of them on my wedding day: several different playlists on different platforms, wrote them a speech (sorry!), and pushed them WAY off schedule - never once did they seem thrown or irritated or even the slightest bit affected by our day. My only regret is that I didn't spend enough time out on the floor jamming with them :)
If you want a party - these are your guys. If you want a first-class, personal MC - these are your guys. Trust me, they're worth it!

We had NKG play at our Wedding Reception and it was hands down our favorite thing about the reception! They rocked it all evening and had our guests on the dancefloor until the very end. So many of our guests told us it was the best wedding band they had ever seen. If you are considering NKG for your reception, you absolutely must book them! They are 100% worth it!

The NKG Band was one of the best decisions I made for my wedding! They made the party thrive all night long. They executed every second of our music from the ceremony to our last dance perfectly. I would rebook them a million times over!

Great band that kept people on the dance floor all night. Props and games were great and their engagement with the crowd is awesome. We were looking for a party band and they delivered big time.

The best wedding band ever. NKG brought the party and kept everyone dancing the entire night. While they love to party and have fun they take every aspect of your special day very seriously and are very professional so you don’t have to worry about anything. NKG was so good we extended our wedding to keep the party going. Guests are still talking about how much fun they had and how good NKG was. Couldn’t recommend them more if you are looking for a wedding band.

NKG band was amazing and made our wedding go smoothly. Glenn made sure that everything was organized & really made our night that much more relaxing. He helped us coordinate the night and it was extraordinary. He zoomed with us and set up our timeline (this was huge because we had no idea how the timeline of the night should look) we talked for about an hour and a half. He took the time to get to know us and perfected every detail with us. We had guests tell us that having a live band was awesome and the most fun they had at a wedding. They Dj’d the ceremony, cocktail hour, wedding party intro, dances, cake cutting, everything!! We had a blast at our wedding thanks to these guys and I wouldn’t change a single thing about the night. Thank you guys so much, it truly means so much to us. You guys rock!!

To say I recommend NKG Band as your wedding band with all of my heart would be an understatement. They were actually referred to me by a former coworker/friend who had them perform at his wedding and once he told me that none of his guests left the dance floor the entire evening because of NKG Band, I was sold. Since I had them perform at my wedding, I can confirm, no one leaves the dance floor.
Our wedding, like many others, was delayed a year due to COVID which was stressful enough on its own but the NKG Band was a bright spot through it all. They consistently provided encouragement and periodically checked in to ensure they had the correct information (we rescheduled twice) which made me feel confident that at least one thing from 2020 would eventually happen. Through each reschedule they were nothing but supportive, completely understood our decision, and respected our originally agreed upon pricing. Their customer service is second to none.
The NKG Band will be as hands on and helpful as you need/want them to be. When we got close to the wedding date we had multiple Zoom meetings to finalize details including special requests, timeline, etc. I did not have a wedding coordinator so I found it helpful to have another set of eyes on my timeline.
Even before their performance started, the NKG Band was stirring up a lot of excitement at our reception. Some of our guests had seen them perform before at festivals, concerts, other weddings, etc and when we were making the rounds after dinner to thank our guests for coming we heard so many people tell us how excited they were that NKG Band was our entertainment for the evening. Their entry set the tone for the rest of the evening. I have been to a lot of weddings in my time and I haven't seen a dance floor get started as quickly as ours did. They read the room well and kept the energy high with their song selection. They accommodated a few special requests that we had such as allowing me to perform a song on stage with them and to emcee a limbo competition during the break. They also threw in a few surprises that even caught me and my groom off guard that was such a fun touch.
If you are looking to create a memorable experience that you and your guests will be talking about for long after your wedding day is over, then it's no question, you need to book the NKG Band. They are worth every penny of their price plus more. I've had so many of friends who are not married yet tell me that they plan to book the NKG Band for their own wedding day since seeing them perform at our wedding.

My wife and I booked NKG to play our wedding & it was the best decision we could have made! Everyone had a blast & loved the band! NKG brings a ton of positive energy and makes the night fun for everyone.
Also, Glenn and the band were very pleasant and easy to work with in the leadup and day of the wedding. They even graciously accommodated when we had to change our wedding date in the middle of the pandemic. 10/10 experience & highly recommend!

NKG made our wedding a PARTY! These guys have the best energy and put on an amazing show for our guests. So many guests came up to us saying they had never seen a wedding band put on a performance like that and that they had never danced so much at a wedding before. To top it off they were very professional from start to finish and were great to work with. Would highly recommend!!

If you are thinking about having a band at your reception, choose NKG! We are so glad that we did! They absolutely made the reception. Glenn is amazing to work with. He made sure the day flowed smoothly so my husband and I could focus on relaxing and having fun. They really know how to read a crowd and played something that everyone eventually got up and danced too! Even my mother in law was on the dance floor. Everyone had a blast and we know that if we chose another band or DJ that our reception would not have been as memorable as it was. Don't hesitate to hire them. You will not be disappointed!
