The band was awesome and made the reception so much fun. Highly recommend The Rhythm Kings for your event.
Great job. Good variety . Enjoy ourselves. Played music for all ages.
Very friendly
They listened to the bride and groom and their parents and played the lists provided, as requested. They arrived on time ( well in advance of the ceremony and played for both the wedding and reception.
Best I’ve ever heard at a wedding. Perfect music selection. Outstanding.
Smooth easygoing
I would HIGHLY recommend this amazing band. Jonathan Napper and his band are so professional and FUN! Many of the wedding highlights are when the band engaged the guests and played outstanding music. All types of music and to everyone’s liking, young and old! They have a special talent of getting folks out onto the dance floor!They took requests, and helped organize the important moments during the wedding reception. Every member of the band is so gifted. Thank you for making the evening special!
The rhythm kings were an absolute hit at our wedding. It’s all people could talk about for weeks afterwards. They’re incredibly talented and actively engaged our guests ensuring everyone had a fabulous time and incredible music! Would highly recommend!
The Rhythm Kings were absolutely incredible and one of the best parts of our wedding! They had amazing energy, were easy to work with, and were an absolute blast. Highly recommend!
The Rhythm Kings are such a fun and energetic band- I highly suggest them! As a planner, I am always looking for bands that not only deliver good communication ahead of the wedding, but overall day-of performance as well and the Rhythm Kings definitely delivered!
As a wedding coordinator, when my clients hire a band it always goes over really well; live music is always fun! The Rhythm Kings are no exception! They really know how to give the crowd a good show, they always have everyone up on their feet dancing the night away! If a good dance party atmosphere is something that is important to you on your wedding day, I would book The Rhythm Kings for sure!
Band was very good! Played perfect dancing music!
The Rhythm Kings made our wedding celebration a night to remember. The song choices and flow of the band was everything you want on your special day. I would recommend this group to anyone who wants to make their next event; be it a wedding, anniversary, family reunion, or Christmas party a special and memorable evening.
The Rhythm Kings are such a fun and incredibly talented band they are the perfect addition to any event. They made our wedding extra special, keeping the party vibe alive and entertaining the entire venue. I cannot recommend them more highly.
We loved the Rhythm Kings! Our guests are talking about how great the band was! They made the entire evening so much fun and the dance floor was full all night. Jonathan coordinated the entire process and made it effortless. Worth every penny…we can’t wait for an excuse to hire them again!
The Rhythm Kings exceeded my expectations! Jonathan was so helpful in preparing the music for the ceremony and it was spot on. The band did an amazing job at the reception and the dance floor was always full. The number one comment I heard that night was how great the band was.
Everyone is still talking about the band at our wedding days later! Rhythm Kings were phenomenal and kept the dance floor going. Highly recommended, Jonathan Napper is a pleasure to work with and so is Kathryn Matthews, band manager.
This band is top notch. The horns made the night.
I got a chance to see The Rhythm Kings at Jamboozies. They completely erupted the crowd into dance! They had very varied sets with great takes on each cover. Love Shack blew my mind. I got a chance to speak with a couple of them between sets, and they seemed very personable and passionate about their work. 10/10 would definitely recommend.
This band is a rocking good time. The lead guitarist is exceptional and the female vocalist has a ton of soul. This band makes an excellent party.
This band is great ! We had a ton of fun with them. The lady singer is terrific and the guitar playing guy singer is a double dose of talent. The horns really bring it home. I have suggested this band to our friends who are planning weddings in the next year. (Parents of brides/grooms)
The band was very professional and OUTSTANDING!! Should be everyone’s choice for their wedding!
Great band! Great music and great energy !
25th Renewal of Vows---multi-talented group,very professional, great cross section of song list ,punctual and so much Fun! Will use again.
The Rhythm Kings were amazing and so fun! They kept the dance floor packed all night. An amazing band was the most important thing for my husband and me on for our reception and they did not disappoint. They are super communicative leading up to the wedding and really willing to work with you on learning new songs and incorporating family traditions. Our guests loved the band so much that they started shouting "one more song" before the band left the stage. HIGHLY recommend. You will not be disappointed.
The Rhythm Kings are incredible!! Great people and put on a great show. Play very well and bring an upbeat and exciting vibe with every performance the do! Will definitely have them at any event possible hosted in the future
The Rhythm Kings were absolutely incredible! My husband and I are so happy that we picked them to play at our wedding at the Grosse Pointe Yacht Club.
Jonathan was so easy to work with and did an amazing job selecting the songs to play during our reception. They have an amazing extensive song list that had our guests dancing the whole night long.
We received so many compliments on them and I could not be happier that they played at our wedding. Thank y'all so much for making our wedding reception so much fun!
I had the pleasure of attending two different weddings where The Rhythm Kings performed and each time was amazing! They tailored their performance to the couple and their guests, so each time was unique. The vocals and horns are just so awesome and fun! They kept the dance floor packed all night and put on a very energetic show. I can't recommend them enough, and look forward to seeing them perform again.
The Rhythm Kings were a hit with all of our guests. They kept the dance floor going all night and Jonathan did a great job keeping the flow going. Jonathan was responsive in the months leading up to our wedding and took the time to understand our want/needs in order to deliver a great service. We had been to one wedding with them before choosing them for ours and would recommend them to a friend.
THIS BAND ROCKS!!!! They were very professional and flexible with our needs through our wonderful night. Met and Exceeded our expectations. Highly recommend this band.
The Rhythm Kings played at our wedding reception and they were a hit! We loved the music they played and the guests did too! I received lots of compliments about the band from friends and family and the dance floor was never empty!! They were easy to work with, timely and professional as well as the life of the party:-) Highly recommend this energetic and talented group!
I have been an event planner for over 25+ years and rarely do I see such great energy in a band. These guys are really really a true horn band, most bands I book are bands that can add a horn section but I would never consider them a true horn band.. Every single song with The Rhythm Kings is intentionally arranged to incorporate their 4 horns, so you have this driving sound coming at you all nite long. They will keep your dance floor packed all night long!!
I love this band!! My husband and I have seen them play at a wedding as well as multiple public shows (Motorcity Casino) - they never disappoint! The dance floor is always full and they always make it fun. I would highly recommend booking them!!
The Rhythm Kings are fantastic! They truly set the tone for our wedding and helped make it the best day of our lives. They were flexible and easy to work, setting up phone calls whenever we wanted to touch base. Jonathon is so organized and goes above and beyond to make everything perfect. He secretly worked with my brother-in-law to learn songs he wrote and wanted to perform. It was an incredible surprise! I would 100% recommend the Rhythm Kings to perform at your wedding!
The Rhythm Kings played my brother's wedding and absolutely slayed in every aspect. It wasn't just, "Oh, fun band!" It was much more. The band learned a song I wrote and performed it onstage with me and my mother; they learned specific, obscure songs that probably only a few people wanted to hear, and absolutely crushed them. They were consummate professionals in the months leading up to the wedding, and at the wedding itself. They are the most accommodating band I could have imagined. Most importantly, they got everybody dancing, and they slapped smiles on my brother's and sister-in-law's faces all night long. They were the vital center of the wedding, and my family will be forever grateful to them.
The Rhythm Kings were awesome!! They kept our dance floor full the entire night. They have a fantastic selection of songs, and they added one for us as a request. They were very easy to work with and share our favorite songs; we did not hear a single song we did not like. We got married in the middle of a field, and that did not faze them at all; the sound was fantastic. They absolutely elevated our event to the next level. They were very professional and even embraced some silly musical traditions in my family. All of our guests raved about our band. If you want a fun band that you can trust to deliver excellent entertainment, The Rhythm Kings are the way to go!
The Rhythm Kings set the tone for our reception! They were energetic, lively, and so much fun! Working with Johnathon and the rest of the band was so easy. They are quick to respond to emails, always willing to set up a phone call or meeting, and really flexible with all our ideas. The wide variety of music that they know will fit the needs of a wide range of audiences. We could not have asked for a better band to help us celebrate on our wedding day. I very highly recommend them!
Loved the band great mix of music. Lots of great comments from other guests. Everyone was dancing. Great time had by all.
I first saw the The Rhythm Kings perform at my cousin's wedding - an attempted lakeside outdoor reception hindered by a crazy storm. We all crammed into the restaurant and the band made the night unforgettable!
When it came time to plan our wedding reception, we knew we had to have The Rhythm Kings! Absolute best decision we made! Well worth the money for the atmosphere they create. We received endless compliments about the band's talent and how fun they made the evening! Highly recommended. Thanks for everything !!
The Rhythm Kings are wonderful to work with and I recommend them to anyone looking for a great Band for their upcoming Wedding or Event. As a Wedding Planner, it is always great working with Vendors that are team-players and fill the dance floor! :)
It was so special to have The Rhythm Kings play at our wedding! We had an outdoor lawn wedding and having live music was very important to us. All of our guests were very impressed with the band. In fact, they're more amazing than the original artists of the songs they played. They exceeded our expectations and I would recommend them to anyone! And as an added bonus, Jonathan made the whole process leading up to the wedding very easy for me. He was great to work with!
The Rhythm Kings played for my daughter's wedding in Petoskey, MI July '17. They were really really good and lived up to their name. Wide selection of songs, great at getting the audience involved, and excellent musicians. The main vocalist had a wonderful voice and brought a lot of emotion. Jonathan was good to work with and expert at arrangements & equipment. I would recommend! Thanks Rhythm Kings!
The Rhythm Kings performed for our daughter’s wedding. Music was a top priority for the bride and groom. Having a live band was important to us. With the Rhythm Kings we all got more than we wanted. The Bride and Groom saw the band at a friend’s wedding. We did not go to that wedding so we went to a performance at a casino. What impressed us was the band's ability to read the crowd. They had many people up and dancing in the casino. Rhythm Kings was a great band the night of our daughter’s wedding. The music was multi generational and sounded wonderful and the dance floor was full till the very last song!
The Rhythm Kings are one of my favorite wedding bands! We always recommend them for their big sound and professionalism. It's important for a band to really understand a wedding, and these guys have it down. They'll absolutely take care of you! I wouldn't hesitate before booking. You won't regret it!
AN AMAZING WEDDING BAND!
We were introduced to this band in 2014 at my brother's wedding, and they were so great we immediately booked them for our wedding in 8/2017! Their repertoire is a great mix of current hits and motown/90's. The dance floor was crowded the entire time! They were also nice enough to let our friend use their keyboard during the ceremony so he could play our processional/recessional music as a gift to us. They were overall wonderful to work/prep with, always responding promptly to emails and requests.
I would HIGHLY recommend them for any wedding that has a dance floor! ;-)
Awesome! Great to deal with and amazing performance!
The Rhythm King's made our wedding night a huge success!! This band is amazing, guests would not stop talking about them, Jonathan and the band killed it (even our detailed timeline :) )!!! Guests literally only left the dance floor when the band took a break. They also learned 4 new songs for us, including our first dance, it was super special!! Thank you TRK!!
This amazing group played for our signature party this summer. They were a huge success............everybody loved them and they kept the dance floor full all night long. A true group of professionals!!
The Rhythm Kings played at our wedding in August, and they totally made the reception! Jonathan was extremely professional and fantastic to work with leading up to the wedding, and he and the band were incredible the night of, playing a wide range of genres that appealed to guests of all ages. We received numerous compliments from our wedding guests about how it was the most fun wedding they'd ever been to and how much they loved the the band's music - many of them were sore the next day from dancing so much! Our main goal for our reception had been to make sure everyone had fun and stayed up dancing, and the Rhythm Kings definitely made that happen! I'd highly recommend them!!
The Rhythm Kings were amazing!! They played at my sisters wedding in August of this year and I am considering they play at my wedding as well! I would recommend them to anyone who is looking to dance the night away with a fun, high energy band! 5 stars!!
We booked the Rhythm Kings for our July wedding and they were fantastic! Our guests danced the night away until the very last song and couldn’t stop talking about the band both during and after our wedding reception (they are still talking even after the honeymoon). The vocals and rhythm section were spot on and what can I say – the horn section was killer! I had numerous guests comment to me that they had never seen such a professional sounding and looking band at a wedding. A few guests even commented that our wedding reception was the first ever that they remained until the very end, and it was all because of the Rhythm Kings!
Jonathan was a pleasure to deal with and very professional. We provided the band with a play list and some special request songs and they nailed every one of them. Thanks for making our wedding reception a memorable one – for both us and all of our guests!
What a fantastic band! The singer was awesome! Would highly recommend them. We were not originally planning to have a band, but I'm so glad we did.
