I hired NKG Band for my wedding this past weekend at Sheperd’s Hollow. To say this group are consummate professionals is an understatement. This is one of the most talented group of musicians in the metro Detroit area. The band are tied together as both friends and family so their chemistry just elevates their performances!They are not just going through the motions, it’s obvious how much fun they are having. They threw in some surprise songs I had requested during the band breaks so it was amazing hearing them live! Choosing my music and entertainment for my wedding was one of the most important decisions I made since I’m the type of bride who is on the dance floor the entire night! I was obsessively trying to coordinate the perfect mix and they helped bring this to fruition. You can upgrade to horns too, which we are so glad we did. I got countless compliments throughout the night on how talented they are and how incredible their stage set up was. They also helped set up mics and sound for the ceremony which was super helpful. Their MC, Tony, is awesome and kept the energy high and the night moving smoothly. Also, shoutout to my hugely talented childhood buddy, Renee Turner who is one of the female vocals. How extremely special it was to have her a part of my wedding day! I cannot recommend NKG Band enough for your wedding or special event!

After watching many online videos of live bands throughout the Metro-Detroit and Southeastern Michigan area, we selected Nick Kuhl and The Gang to perform at our wedding at Meadow Brook Hall last fall. We are SO glad we hired them – they were absolutely amazing!! Not only were Nick and Tony extremely kind, responsive, and easy to work with throughout the planning process and on the day of the wedding, but the band’s musical expertise, sound quality, and overall talent is phenomenal and incomparable. We planned our entire wedding in 3 months, and Nick and Tony were very accommodating and helpful throughout all of our last-minute planning; they were quick on their toes and were even able to seamlessly incorporate song selections and cues for speeches we provided on the morning of the wedding! They even assisted with other elements of the wedding day by providing microphones for our ceremony and even helping with some non-music related tasks that had been overlooked by another vendor. (We were extremely grateful for this!) During the reception, the band played a combination of specific selections we requested, along with a variety of other timeless and popular music that everyone loved. They kept people of all ages on the dance floor the entire evening! They also did a wonderful job serving as the MC throughout the reception and maintained a great level of energy and enthusiasm throughout the event. The performers in the band clearly love what they do, and their enjoyment and happiness were evident and contagious!. We highly recommend Nick Kuhl and The Gang for anyone who appreciates excellent music, a live band, and top-notch entertainment! We wish we had another event so we could hire them again!

Having a live band at our wedding reception was always something we had dreamed of, but it was when we started looking for the perfect band that we found ourselves taking our time ...

to make sure the music would mirror the energy of the day and put on a performance everyone would remember. Nick Kuhl and the Gang did not disappoint. They truly rocked and kept the party going from open to close. Very professional and a pleasure to work with, they were communicative before the wedding, and were flexible with specifics like performing as a three piece band before dinner then following up with a ten piece with brass for dancing after dinner. Their quality is second to none, they sound studio quality live, and can play literally anything! From learning our first dance song to breaking it down with Motown and funk, nothing is outside their comfort zone. They even let the groom and a couple groomsmen who played together in a band get up and rock with them on stage! Needless to say we were very impressed and would without hesitation recommend them to anyone looking to book a wedding band for their special day.

NKG were amazing at our wedding. They were so easy to work with and sounded absolutely amazing. Our guests were on the dance floor all night and they really customized their sets ...

to our requests.

If there is one thing i can tell you about the whole wedding planning process, its book this band!!!!!!!! There are no words to describe how amazing they were. They learned 3 songs...

for the first dances no matter what the song was. They took some song requests from our guests throughout the night. They were out on the dance floor dancing and singing with guests and even had one of our guests using a cowbell. They took the time (spur of the moment) to let my family give an extra toast in the middle of dancing to honor my late grandfather with a traditional whiskey shot. They also made sure multiple times they were announcing everyones name write and had the relationship to us correctly. The attention to detail was amazing. One of the top things people have been raving about with our day was NKG. We can't recommend them enough!!

NKG played at our wedding this past summer and they were absolutely fantastic!! When we first met to discuss the wedding "vine" I had mentioned that we wanted high energy 90s-2000s...

crowd pleasers that would keep everyone on the dance floor all night long. They did not disappoint in the least! They were not only amazing performing live, they were very accommodating when it came to coordinating playlists for our ceremony entrance, cocktail hour, wedding party entrance and all breaks in between sets. They have some live videos on their social media of the band performing but believe me when I say the videos do not do them justice to just how terrific they sound live. If you're on the fence of whether to go with a dj or live band for your wedding, all your concerns will flood away once you book NKG!!

Amazingggg band!!!! Our dance floor was packed the entire night. We took a risk and booked them without ever having seen them and I couldn’t have been happier. They were super resp...

onsive, open to suggestions, provided cocktail music for a super small fee. I could not recommend them more highly. I’d hire them for another event in a second. 11/10!!!!

NKG was the first vendor we called after we secured our date and venue! After hearing them at other events I knew I wanted them for our October 2021 wedding. Nick and team were won...

derful to work with, discussing the order of events with us and making sure everything with our timeline and venue went smoothly. When it came to the actual music, I cannot recommend them enough! Our dance floor was full the entire reception and each song flowed seamlessly in to the next. They did amazing job of mixing Motown and classics with recent hits, just as we had asked. The talent between each musician in the group is incredible, each member brings something unique but it all works together to create an amazing performance. I also recommend hiring their horn section as that really brought something special. I had so many guests come up to me and gush about how great the band was, you're in great hands with NKG! I would love to do it all over again!

the band you choose is one of the most important parts of planning of your wedding because they set the mood for the entire night. I am here to tell you that you want to hire Nick ...

Kuhl and the Gang for your wedding. We had seen them at a few other weddings and we knew we had to book them for our own wedding. They were not only incredible musicians and vocalists, but their vibe was so fun. I think they had as much fun as we did and that’s something you want in a wedding band. They know how to entertain a crowd. We received many accolades from our guests. They kept us all out on the dance floor until the night was over and we didn’t want it to end! They were extremely professional and we never to had to worry about anything because they were on top of everything. We will continue to recommend them to anyone we know planning a wedding and I hope to see them at another Metro Detroit wedding. Thanks for making our wedding spectacular.

memorable one. All great singers and great musicians. They also knew all the right songs to make the dance floor a party. I would pick them again 10 times out of 10. Highly recommend!

Bottom Line up front: If you have NKG play at your wedding, the dance floor will be PACKED the entire night and people will be raving about your wedding for years! Listen to the po...

sitive reviews…. NKG will knock your socks off! THEY ARE INCREDIBLE! My wife and I had NKG play our wedding at the GPYC. We were one of the COVID weddings that got postponed by a full year. Working with Nick across multiple years was absolutely seamless. He was so accommodating with date changes and everything. Nick worked with us to make sure everything was planned out and executed as envisioned. Needless to say, it went off without a hitch and was better than we could have anticipated. From the moment the band went on, to the last song they played…. the dance floor was COMPLETELY packed! I haven’t seen so many people dancing at a wedding in my entire life. In fact, we are still getting compliments and inquiries on the music! I mean you can’t go wrong when you have 8 amazing and talented people in a band like this. They played the best selection of music ever and really created the vibe we wanted. Ultimately, we knew from the moment we first listened to them play that our guests were in for an amazing time. And it really was overall an AMAZING time. NKG is literally the best Detroit wedding band EVER
