JK ENTERTAINMENT

e performance and some difficulty in figuring out the timeline for the day as our wedding was unconventional. However, the performance was amazing, the horn section brought everything to life, the MC'ing was perfect and we highly recommend them!

y by the value provided by Joel and the band. They were helpful in planning the event, working with the venue and covered the whole thing providing a few musicians to cover the ceremony and cocktail hour, before the full eleven piece band played at the reception - closing the evening DJing the extra hour at the venue. My guests included prior coworkers in the live production space, and a cousin who DJ’d weddings for several years. They and all our guests were gushing about the band! They kept the energy up through the night and really made the party special for us. After the whole experience they are my strongest recommendation of any vendor we worked with, definitely give them a look!

ight. Our wedding was almost two months ago and people are still talking about the band and how talented they were. My husband and I got married at the Pleasantdale Chateau in April 2023 and our number one priority was having an amazing band. The JK Band is the real deal. Our wedding would not have been the same without them and we are SO grateful to have made the decision to hire them. After doing our due diligence in exploring local options, we met with Joel, the leader of The JK Band, who came highly recommended. Joel is amazing and we clicked right away, making our choice of a band extremely easy. We met with Joel about a month before the wedding to finalize our requests and he was super helpful in making sure our music was consistent with our vision. For example, we had wanted to play an acoustic version of Bob Marley’s “Is this Love” for our first dance and when Joel heard the song he came up with the amazing idea of playing the version we wanted, but then transitioning into the original reggae version half way through to get the party started. It was MAGICAL! Joel also helped us pick some of the other songs that we were struggling with, which helped take a lot of stress off us. He was incredibly helpful. In addition, Joel and his team went out of their way to learn songs that we felt strongly about for the wedding. Perhaps most importantly, THEY ARE AN EXCEPTIONALLY TALENTED GROUP OF PERFORMERS.

w fantastic the band was. Joel is a pleasure to plan with who is a clear expertise in event coordination. Music makes all the difference--thank you JK band in helping our friends and family stay on the dance floor through the most special celebration of our lives. Will be singing your praises to all!

would highly recommend for any wedding!

stop commenting on how much they loved the band. Thank you Joel!

. It was really special that they were able to learn a new song for our first dance. Everyone was on the dance floor the whole entire night. Highly recommend you play shout to close it out. Joel was very responsive throughout the planning process - meeting with us several times via zoom to finalize everything between the timeline and song selection. We would love to hire them again for future events.

tail hour to begin the evening with some light, enjoyable music, they kicked things into high gear once the party moved inside to dance the night away with the full 9-person band. We lost count of how many guests came up to us and said this was one of the best bands they had ever seen - that's how good JK Entertainment is. Working with Joel during the planning stages was very helpful as he was able to understand what we were looking for, took song requests (that the band learned and performed amazingly), and offered suggestions to ensure a nice flow for the evening music-wise that worked out perfectly. We can't say enough great things about this group's talent, professionalism, and fun nature. It made for an unforgettable night!

ponsive. His band is talented and everyone had the best time.

the whole night), and how great the vibe was. I would recommend them to everyone I know! Plus, they were easy to work with and I always felt confident in the service.

fun band to lead our dance party. At least half of our guests came up to us and said they were the best band they’d ever heard at a wedding. I’d recommend them for weddings, birthdays, work functions, pool parties, bake sales, flight cancellations, etc. HIRE THEM.

Joel is super responsive and helped us navigate the timeline with the venue perfectly. They learned a new song for one of our dances and the set list was a perfect mix of songs to cater to different generations. Could not have asked for a better experience! Everything was perfect and highly recommend.

d fully engaged. Our guests & venue are still in awe over the job that they did. If anyone is ever on the fence about hiring them for an event, don't be. I promise you will not regret your choice.

ration this year and the JK Band brought the party! Joel told us he wanted to “rock the room” after the first dance, and that’s exactly what they did! The band played a wide variety of songs that kept all of our guests (wide age range) on the dance floor up until the very last song. Joel and the band even learned a few songs that they had never played before at our request – we so appreciated it! We trusted Joel to read the room and play songs that would keep everyone engaged, and they were able to do just that, they’re truly experts! We got so many compliments from our guests on the JK Band that night and in the days after. Having the JK Band at our celebration was worth the wait! I cannot recommend them enough!

ted playing everyone was on the dance floor. He was helpful and organized when filling out the planner and directed us. He worked with us on price and thus were able to have a 9 piece band. It was great.

d expert handling of timing throughout the night. Can't recommend the JK Band enough!

up and were instantly excited about hiring them for our wedding! Joel was very communicative and we quickly had information on all of the options they offer. We went with 2 musicians for our ceremony, 2 musicians for cocktail hour, and a 9-piece band for our reception. Joel was so helpful in planning our ceremony music and was open to song requests. When we told him our dog was named after the song Bennie and the Jets, he told us they didn’t know it, but would learn it for us (they nailed it!) Our guests couldn’t stop talking about how wonderful the band was and the dance floor was filled all night. The musicians seemed to be having as much fun as we were, which made it even more enjoyable. There is nothing like live music, and the JK Band was incredible. We highly recommend them!

Joel and his band would be awesome, they completely exceeded all of our expectations!! They had everyone up and dancing the ENTIRE night. Everyone kept coming up to us raving about the band and i've already given their name out to so many different people! I cannot recommend them enough for your big day!!

band.

for the ceremony and reception and made helpful suggestions along the way with their depth of entertainment experience. The band was extremely accommodating to the point of learning a few songs specifically for our ceremony and reception. The band coordinated very well with our other vendors so we did not have to worry about anything related to music leading up to our special day. When it came to the actual ceremony and reception the JK Band made it a day to remember. Even over a month after our wedding, friends and family keep talking about how much fun they had and how fantastic the band was. The harmonies were on point, energy consistently high all through the night and people of all ages could not stay off the dance floor. Nearly everyone stayed through the last song because they were having so much fun. Really the JK Band was the heartbeat of of our celebration and we could not recommend them more highly. Choose them and you will have a great time for you and your guests as well as great memories to come. The prices were reasonable, the service of the highest tier, and execution did not miss a beat! We are going to have a hard time going to any parties without the JK Band from now on.

th a detailed form to really understand our vision. We had several follow up calls, an in person meeting- really as much as we wanted prior in order to be sure it was what we wanted. Even just as important, the band took the exact songs we wanted- but then from there, they added songs on the same exact wavelength and really showed why they are such quality musicians. While we felt comfortable with them before the wedding and they really delivered on your promise. They are true professionals(and personally Joel is a great guy) and the members of the band were fantastic. I wish I was having another wedding every year so I could hire this band!!! . Also- the first dance was amazing. It was so personal yet also by the end of it, it brought everyone to the dance floor surrounding us and singing it out loud.

eption, but Joel was extremely communicative and wonderful to work with throughout the entire wedding planning process. Wedding planning can be stressful, and I knew I was in good hands working with Joel. He gave us song recommendations, catered to our song choices, and kept our wedding reception high energy for the entire evening. Would HIGHLY recommend the JK band for a wedding - you will not be disappointed!

s incredibly professional and personalized. (He even coordinated with my husband, the groom, for the band to perform an original song by my husband!) Multiple people asked me for the name of the band at the wedding. Can't recommend highly enough.

Band was a must! Throughout the entire process, Joel made everything so easy. His main priority was to ensure my family and I had everything we envisioned. One specific vision was the father/daughter dance. My dad and I had the idea of starting slow and ending with a fast song, only we had trouble choosing the songs. With the help of Joel we danced to My Girl and ended with Ain't No Mountain High Enough, which got our entire reception dancing. Throughout the night, the dance floor remained packed with people of all ages. The JK Band was able to appeal to all groups of people with different styles of music. The next day, all the guests could not stop talking about how amazing the band was. "That band can really rock a room!" "That band was absolutely incredible..." were just a few of the comments. A moment we will never forget is when the JK Band performed the song "Shout," the grooms favorite wedding song, which resulted in a group of guys tossing the bride and groom into the air repeatedly. It was incredible. We would recommend this band to anyone - in fact we loved them so much, they are performing AGAIN at my sister's upcoming wedding! The JK Band made our wedding the best day of our lives.

Moreover, my family includes several professional musicians, and they all though the JK Band was incredible. We are SO glad we hired them.

the entire preparation leading up to the wedding day. His energy, professionalism, and desire to really make your wedding day more than you ever expected with respect to the entertainment is every bride and groom's dream come true. His band and vocalists are energetic and sound absolutely amazing. They can really throw a party, and get everyone on the dance floor and stay there. Joel even took the extra step to make my wedding day even more special by surprising me with a special friend of mine to perform at my wedding. What a special treat for me and all my guests!!! Throughout the evening, my guests kept coming up to me and my husband just raving about how AMAZING the band sounded! By the end of the evening our hearts were full of joy and love. Thank you JK Band for making our wedding so much more than we could ever imagine! If you want a great party, and work with a talented musician and professional, you MUST hire Joel and the JK Band! P.S. the videos on their site don't come close to doing them justice.

ecific vision for the wedding party introductions. They were able to learn a new song, play it well, and seamlessly introduce the wedding party like they had done it 1,000 times. They also know how to run a party — the dance floor was packed all night solely because they knew what songs to play and when to play them! If you hire the JK Band, you are guaranteed to have one heck of a party.

PONT in Delaware for our wedding and rocked a huge ballroom, keeping the dance floor more than alive all night long. From our first conversation with Joel, we could tell he knew his stuff and he kept us at ease with the planning process. The band was super adaptable; played beautiful soft music for our ceremony, delivered classic music for the cocktail hour, then brought the heat for a non-stop party at the reception. We've had many friends and family members comment on how much they enjoyed the band, with several of our parents' friends commenting "Best Wedding Band Ever!". We are so glad to have worked with Joel and JK band, and really hope to be a guest at a wedding they play for soon!!

a good time while performing. Many of our guests have told us how good of a job they did, and we couldn't agree more!

rfectly. From song one to the last the dance floor was packed and the energy they brought just added something extra to an already special day. The rave reviews from our guests about the JK Band keep coming weeks after the wedding. We cannot thank Joel and the JK Band enough!!

had our own personal touches. His band learned songs we requested and executed flawlessly. Joel is reliable, consistent (JK band was also great 11 years ago at my brother's wedding), and entertaining. I got many compliments about how amazing the band was, and couldn't ask for more.

d we had several calls to ensure that the band could learn new music for us, discuss the overall flow of the ceremony and the reception while addressing any concerns that we had. He learned new music that had just been released and made sure that the music being played was fun and relevant. The entire band is so interactive and gets involved with guests to sing and dance on the floor. Joel even planned a surprise for our guests and had the groom perform his favorite song! Our dance floor was packed the entire night and we’re still receiving compliments that the band was the best people had ever heard. I encourage everyone to work with JK Band if you want a wedding where your guests are on their feet and enjoying themselves the whole night! Thank you again for making our wedding so memorable!

songs in their arsenal. Joel, the band leader, was a pleasure to work with and did a great job as the MC. They were a high quality band that you should feel comfortable using at your function.

d our family and friends are still raving about the band. I can only say remarkable things here. I would highly recommend the JK band!

the most frequent compliments we get about our wedding and we are so glad we made this choice. Thank you!

ul. The band kept everyone on the dance floor all night, playing energetic classic songs, as well as new Top 40 hits! All of our guests kept telling us they have never heard a band at a wedding so amazing! We continue to have friends and family talking about how great the music was! Thank you again!

y. Joel was amazing to work with. From the get go, he was responsive and easy to communicate with. He checked in with us all steps of the way, to ensure that we had all necessary items completed. One thing Joel did really well with was listening; he heard all of our requests/needs and made them happen. On to the night- The JK Band performed! Joel played to the audience and was able to keep all our guests out of their seats. Everybody was dancing and the floor was full for the whole night! The bands' sound was sharp and crisp. Joel and his lead vocals hit all of their notes on all of the songs. We are so glad we picked the JK Band. They really made it an amazing wedding for us. It's been weeks since the wedding. Family and friends are still raving about it. I can only say remarkable things here. Thank you for a truly wonderful wedding evening! I would 110% recommend Andrew & Terissa G.

e, especially when you know your crowd will be dancing for 4+ hours. We are so happy that the JK Band provided the soundtrack to the best night of our lives and wish we could do it all again every Saturday night. The band truly rocked from the very start to late into the evening. They were tight and on point, professional, groovy, fun, joyous, etc - everything you could want in a wedding band. They never seemed like they were just going through the motions and are truly excited to be playing at your wedding. As a young couple who wanted a great mix of music (70s, 80s classic wedding songs, mixed with some new songs) that would engage the entire crowd, we felt that the JK Band did a great job of keeping all ages on the dance floor all night long. We received many compliments on the band and continue to. Some other bands have expensive video production to put online to make them look great, while the JK Band's videos online currently do not do them justice. The singers and instruments were great (especially the horns), and Joel is awesome at managing the party. Further, Joel was involved and accessible from the very start (unlike many other "booking company" bands), working with us to create the vibe for the night and select songs we wanted, including learning some new tunes and nailing our first dance song. I recommend the JK Band to anyone looking for a great band at a great price in the NY area for a rockin' evening of dancing. Thanks!

ed that much in years. I truly believe our wedding wouldn't have been as a success without them. Thank you JK Band!!

hey had all of our guests on the dance floor for 4+ hours of dancing! Not only can they play great music, but they can MC as well. Joel (band leader) checked in on us multiple times throughout the night to ensure everything was going well. Prior to our wedding, they sent us a very long songlist in which we could tell them what types of music to play. Our wedding was in the Albany area- so they are open to traveling as well! Can't recommend them more! Hope to see them at another party/wedding!

t was absolutely phenomenal. Joel was very helpful in the planning stages, giving us advice and helping us curate our unique sound for the ceremony. He gave us a song/genre list that was a good jumping off point for our requests for the night and he even learned a new song for us. He was also extremely helpful in planning out the timing of the evening and coordinating with the venue on when to serve meals, do speeches etc. which I found completely overwhelming and was so glad to have his input. The band rocked the entire night. We had a 9 piece band and a room with very tall ceilings and they had a rich full sound. We not only got so many compliments afterwards but 4-5 couples with upcoming weddings asked for their information to book them as well. I would recommend Joel and JK Entertainment to anyone who wants a great party! Rachel and Colin

that he knew what songs we wanted to play and even learned a special song for my father daughter dance. The band sounded great and pumped up the crowd. The vocalists even came onto the dance floor to sing with everyone and we're very interactive. We also had them play during our cocktail hour. Everyone (I mean everyone) praised JK band and said they were one of the best parts of our wedding. I cannot thank them enough for making our wedding unforgettable!!

and the right band to play here is the JK Band! They filled the room with an energy and sound that had the dance floor full the entire night! Joel is great to work with and a complete professional. He knows what will make a wedding work and he delivers. His band members are top of the tier! The vocals, brass, percussion, guitars - all totally cool and super talented. The work a crowd like no other band I ever saw. when their vocalists come into the crowd it's amazing. My daughter was so happy with this band as I was. When looking for a wedding band- don't shop around- go right to JK entertainment and book Joel and his band. Joel- thank you for making our daughters day so special.

oor all night long. Not only are they all unbelievably musically talented, but they were so wonderful to work with on a professional and personal level. Joel and the band members were so flexible and accommodating. Everyone at our wedding raved about the band and gave them so many compliments. I give the JK band my absolute highest recommendation. I can't wait to contact them again for another celebration in the near future. They truly made our wedding so amazing and one that we will never forget. Thanks JK band!!
