The KB3 band was absolutely incredible this past weekend at our wedding in Glaucestor. From day 1 when we started to working with Jim and the band, they were incredibly responsive, helpful and professional all around. They were perfect from the ceremony music, to making sure our microphones were all set as well as having our party dance for 3 straight hours. We had so much fun with this band and I can't echo enough how pumped up they got our entire party; I still don't have a voice and my feet still hurt from dancing. 10/10 would recommend this group if you are trying to dance for 3 hours. Can't wait to see these guys again at another wedding!

Kahootz is the best! Incredible to work with-Chris is excellent and made the process so easy-I never stressed about music or choosing a song list at all. They catered to all ages, genres, and most importantly got EVERYONE out on the dance floor with us! They had so made sure our guests had a blast. We got married over a month ago and people are still talking about how fantastic our band was! Stop looking, book Kahootz!

We had Kahootz for my wedding this past weekend and they were amazing. They really knew exactly what to play and got everyone up and dancing. They were so talented and their voices and music were incredible. Got so many compliments from my guests saying how impressed they were with the band. Go hire Kahootz. You won't regret it.

KB3 played at our daughter's wedding reception. They were fabulous! Playlist was great. Everyone was on the dance floor. Guests are still calling commenting on how talented, fun and seamless the band was. The pre-planning was effortless as well. Chris and Jeff were able to calm my nerves and handled all the music needs. They promised a dance party and the band certainly delivered. Would recommend highly.

We had the unbelievable pleasure of working with The Kahootz Band for our wedding. Chris is the best; anything I threw at him was met with no issue. Randy did a beautiful job on the piano; playing our favorite songs as everyone filed in and walked down the aisle. We also had the jazz trio playing lovely mood music during cocktail hour. The band was incredible! So much fun! We love a lot of different types of music, lots of 70s, 80s and 90s. Guests could not get over how good they were. They would come into the crowd and sing and get everyone going. I had the absolute best time at my wedding!

We hired K2 for our wedding at the Cruiseport in November 2021 and couldn't be happier! All of the members of K2 were professional, energetic and kept people on the dance floor all night long. They curated the set list perfectly based on our suggested vision. We had so many compliments from the guests and friends are now planning to use them at their wedding in the future! We would highly recommend Kahootz Entertainment, specifically K2, to friends and family!

I used the kb3 band for my wedding in September and people still ask who the band was - they were that amazing! The band had everyone up dancing and they played a great mix of music for all ages. The manager was incredibly helpful and made the night flow flawlessly. He spent the time working with us to get our mother son and father daughter dance perfect and even helped us cut the music. I would recommend this band to anyone and everyone!

We had the KB3 band for our wedding. Absolutely amazing! They read the crowd well, played awesome music, are incredibly talented, and did a great job of serving as MC during the dinner portion as well. Thanks again for being a huge part of our wedding!

K2 is a must have for your wedding! We cannot say enough amazing things about this band, and neither could our guests. They were so in tune with the energy of our guests which kept them playing the best music all night. We met with Chris before the wedding and he was so helpful in formulating our timeline with the dances and understanding what we were looking for (which was a big dance party all night).

Everything we shared with Chris was perfectly executed by the band on the wedding day. K2 truly made our wedding the best time and our guests are still talking about how unbelievable they were. We HIGHLY recommend K2!

Kahootz Band is amazing! We've been working with them for the past year on planning music for our wedding day and they were organized, helpful and fully understood everything that we were looking for for our wedding day. We ended up with a 2 piece band for the cocktail hour and a 9 piece for the reception and loved all moments of it. The band is super talented and played everything we asked for and more.

They brought everyone to tears during the ceremony and cocktail hour with the amazing violin and piano duo, got everyone out of their seats during reception and kept the dance floor packed all night long. We would absolutely book again, they were amazing!

The highlight on our wedding day in November 2019 was the music from start to finish. Chris and the rest of Kahootz lived up to the hype and absolutely kept the vibe of the room going all night long with music from all genres and decades. We heard every song we wanted to and the band sounded amazing! They were super easy to work with prior to the event when organizing the layout of the night and when it came to wedding day everything was perfect from ceremony to last song! You won't be disappointed if you select these guys to play your special day! Kahootz rocks!

Hiring Kahootz was the best decision we made for our wedding weekend! Leading up to the wedding, Chris was extremely helpful in answering all of our questions and hopping on calls to discuss various details when needed. Kahootz made our wedding reception dreams come true. We were truly blown away at the range and talent all of the band members had. In addition, Kahootz truly listened to our song/genre requests and played a whole range of music for us!

The upbeat and high energy vibe lasted all night long and all of our wedding guests were up and dancing the entire night! Their interaction with our wedding guests was fabulous! Everyone is still talking about our wedding band to this day and I know they will be for many years to come! I HIGHLY recommend hiring Kahootz as your wedding band! Thank you Kahootz for making our wedding dreams come true!

Having never seen them perform live, we read the positive reviews and hired Kahootz for our October wedding in Cape Cod. Best decision ever! The reviews are on point and we were absolutely thrilled with Kahootz. All of the band's musicians are incredibly talented, professional, and engaging. The dance floor was full from the moment it opened until the end of the night - and our guests are still raving about the band. Thank you, Chris and the rest of the Kahootz Band, for making our wedding so much fun!

Working with K2 for our wedding was HANDS DOWN the best decision we made for our wedding! From start to finish Chris was a pleasure to work with. He was extremely timely with communication and walked us through the entire process step-by-step. We never felt pressured to do anything or make decisions that we didn't want to and he truly cared about our experience. On our wedding day, all of the members of the K2 band were extremely professional, pleasant, and just amazing. Justin, the lead singer, ensured that every part of the evening ran smoothly while also being the most incredible performer.

All of our wedding guests were on the dance floor the entire evening! We still have people telling us 5 months later that K2 was the BEST wedding band they had ever heard. We couldn't be happier with our experience with K2!

We got married at the Park Plaza on 10.19.19 and KB3 was absolutely AMAZING. From the moment the party started, everyone was on the dance floor (even before dinner). They met my high-energy crowd with even more energy and I'm pretty sure nobody left the dance floor all night. We had a specific vision for how we wanted all of our entrances and first dance to go and Jim and his team were outstanding and made it all happen.

They even customized our first dance for us, and it's by far my favorite moment of the night. We also had a DJ for Greek music, and KB3 integrated him in perfectly and everything was seamless. I can't say enough how perfect our night was thanks to KB3!

Kahootz performed at my daughter's wedding at the Boston Public Library and they were amazing! No one left the dance floor the entire night. Chris Cole was easy to work with and responsive. He even worked hard to set up a sound system so that my nephew could sing a song he had composed just for the bridal couple into the courtyard at the BPL. Chris had said he always kept an eye on the crowd and if it thinned, they would play a slow song for the older folks. It NEVER thinned. My son-in-law is a dancing nut and he thoroughly enjoyed himself. I'm surprised everyone's shoes didn't have holes in them by the end of the night!

All 160 people at our wedding were shocked and impressed by their performance. They truly know how to make every type of crowd get on their feet and dance! Tears during my first dance! Beautiful voices and they immediately understood the vibe we wanted. No wonder everyone recommends them

We had the pleasure of working with Kahootz for our Boston wedding in December of 2019. Chris and the rest of the band were great to work with ahead of the event as we thought through our ceremony and reception music. They were truly an asset to have as part of the process and made life easier for us! They rocked the party, creating exactly the vibe we had discussed. Literally no one left the dance floor once they started playing. Absolutely the best wedding band I've seen.

We had 200 guests at our wedding reception and the dance floor was packed the entire time!! I wasn't sure what to expect because I had never seen Kahootz live, and picked them based on recommendations from some of our other vendors. My husband and I met with Chris a couple weeks before the wedding, and he made us feel totally at ease - he was super open to our suggestions and requests about what type of music we wanted to hear.

At our reception, Kahootz was amazing, professional, and FUN from beginning to end!! They did an awesome job with the wedding party intros and introducing the speeches... and then the dance party broke out. From the very first song, the dance floor was packed! Of course we expected all of our friends to spend most of the night on the dance floor, but what I didn't expect was for every single guest at the entire reception (from 16 years old to 92 years old!!) to be tearing it up the whole night. Kahootz played jam after jam - each song was better than the last. I honestly can't think of one thing I would change - if you are considering Kahootz for your wedding, just do it!

Kahootz knocked it out of the park at our wedding. Their energetic personalities and amazing voices got our whole wedding up and dancing. Our guests still talk about how amazing our band was! Chris was super helpful from the start. He made sure that the songs we requested were played and the ones we didn't want to hear were not played. I highly recommend hiring Kahootz if you want to make your wedding reception memorable

I recently attended a wedding that Kahootz as the wedding band, and I can honestly say that I and many other wedding guests mentioned that Kahootz was the best! Many of us commented that we have never danced so much before dinner just because they had the crowd going so early. They were such great entertainers, great singers, and they really knew how to keep people on the dance floor. It was fun having them weave through the dance floor to have wedding guests sing. They also did a great job with transitioning songs and incorporating things that the couple wanted, like a last dance rock song since the groom likes rock music.
Dave
Other than the venue, the band was our biggest priority during wedding planning & Kahootz did not disappoint. From 100% creating the vibe we wanted, to nailing a few song requests (some of which were learned the week before the wedding), to showing up to our after party to return a guest's lost cell phone, Kahootz was simply incredible. We're almost 2 months post wedding & our guests are still taking about the band & the insane party on the dance floor the entire evening. I would highly recommend Kahootz to anyone in search of a wedding band.

We hired KAHOOTZ for our wedding and couldn't be happier we did. I listened to basically every band in Boston before hiring them, and what really set them apart was 1) amazing interaction with guests and 2) STELLAR lead singers (you feel like you're at a professional concert). They had our whole wedding party up and dancing the whole night. In our wedding photos you see the band members out on the dance floor interacting with guests and passing around the mic -- how fun is that??! THANK YOU KAHOOTZ you're amazing.

KB3 was hands down the best wedding band we have ever heard. Lucky for us they performed at our wedding! I have sent their information to a number of people in the Boston/Maine area, and so many more guests wanted to let us know that KB3 took our wedding to epic levels. They had everyone on the dance floor the entire night, from kids to grandparents. Also the song list was perfection- they can legit play anything.

They learned a Zac Brown Band/country song for our father daughter dance, and then a Freddie Scott/r&b;Soul song for our first dance as husband and wife. The fact that they nailed two newly learned songs from different genres speaks for itself. Motown, pop, rock, soul-whatever you want they will provide. Super organized, on point, kind, I recommend to anyone looking for a bomb wedding. They were, in one word, perfect.
Tess
Hiring Kahootz to play at our wedding in July was by far the best decision we could have made. The band is absolutely incredible, and they made our wedding so unforgettable. They are unbelievably talented, and are so skilled at getting people on the dance floor and keeping them there. Music was very important to us for our wedding, and we could not have been happier with Kahootz. Also, Chris Coles, who performs with the band and manages, was the nicest, easiest person to work with.

He was so responsive, and made the planning process absolutely seamless and stress free. The band completely blew us away at the wedding, and our guests are still raving about how incredible they were. The dance floor was packed the entire night, which made us so happy and still puts a smile on our face thinking about it. If you want to make sure your wedding feels like an amazing party where people are having the time of their lives, hire Kahootz immediately!

AMAZING! Kahootz was worth every penny! We first heard them at a friend's wedding 3 years ago and immediately said we would book them for our own someday--- And we did the same week we booked our venue. Chris and the band were so easy to work with from the start. From learning our first dance song to making my new husband sing (not well but hilarious) at the end of the night, every one of them is so talented.

They had the dance floor full all night. We did not want them to end! We cannot express the happiness we both felt on our wedding night knowing we have the absolute BEST entertainment around! Thank you!

KB3 was unbelievable. Not only are they incredibly talented, but they are so flexible. Jim was such a doll and was so focused on making sure the timeline of events as well as the playlist were exactly perfect. And it was! I know I'm biased but my wedding was seriously next level. Months later, it's still the talk of the town. People cannot get over how much it fun it was and how off the charts KB3 was. My husband and went to a bunch of band showcases in Boston and KB3 was so far and above anyone else we saw (and a better price!). We were so thrilled with them and would recommend them to anyone!
Allison
I cannot say enough positive things about KB3! They truly made our wedding the most fun wedding our guests have ever been to. The talent and energy they bring to their performance is unbelievable. I am still getting calls and messages from our guests asking where we found the "best wedding band EVER!" Our wedding would not have been the same without them. The dance floor was packed the whole night!

Our hearts are so full and we owe so much of that to them!! The whole band was so gracious and made us feel so comfortable with our choice from day one. When we decided a few weeks before our wedding to add ceremony and cocktail hour music, they were flexible and willing to help out anywhere we needed. This band makes a huge effort to connect with the couple and made us feel so cared for. We want to do it all over again!
