We were thrilled with the Bluewater Kings Band for our wedding! Owen was fantastic to work with - he was prompt, organized, and enthusiastic in his communication. We splurged on adding a sax player and were so glad we did - it really brought an extra layer of talent and fun. The band absolutely nailed our preferred musical vibe.

We'll talk about expectations, music, and what would make this night a 5-star, raving success for you. Bottom line, I don't just want to be another DJ.

WOW. The CLE Keys were one of the easiest vendors I ever worked with. Greg, their guy-that-does-it-all, basically acted as a wedding coordinator to get speeches, dances, etc. completed on time and THEN jumped on the piano and played all night! The only thing I would change if I could go back, is getting them to play even longer!! We couldn't get people off the dance floor! I am hope to have another party in the future just so I can book them again. Absolute rockstars!
