Kahootz Entertainment Boston Wedding Bands

Wedding venues usually give clients 5 hours for their celebration - 1 hour for the cocktail hour and 4 hours for the dinner reception. In the 4+ hours the band plays, the musicians typically take two breaks. We help facilitate formalities at the start of the reception and throughout dinner such as introducing the wedding party, announcing speeches & performing during formal dances. We play dinner music up until either your dinner course is served or when the food stations have started to subside. We’re off the bandstand for 25 minutes for the 1st break and will put a background mix of music through the PA system so the room maintains a warm ambience. The 2nd break happens about an hour before the end of the night. It’s a run to bathroom, grab a glass of water, get our butt’s back to the bandstand break we keep under ten minutes. We make a client inspired custom mix to play by track for the second short break. Our #1 priority is your party. This is why we keep the breaks minimal.

Absolutely! Our full bands have performed for birthday parties as small as twenty-five and political events for as many as twenty-five thousand! We’d love to be a part of your event no matter what it is. Contact us for more information.

All of our bands can provide music for your cocktail hour in addition to music for the party portion of your reception. Most couples prefer soothing classical, contemporary, or jazz instrumental instrumental music that helps set the mood and won’t distract from your guests’ conversation and mingling. We offer four different cocktail music options: - Solo Keyboards (most popular) - Keyboard and Bass Duo - Trio of Keyboards, Bass, and Drums or - Trio of Keyboards, Bass, and Saxophone
 Let us know what you have in mind. We’ll work with you to create a custom option if that’s what you prefer.

It all starts with our clients and getting to know their musical tastes (and dislikes) so we can create a plan that will have you and your guests on their feet all night. That’s why we meet one-on-one with couples to learn their favorite performers and songs as well as those songs that you would never want to hear played at your wedding. We like to have a conversation to learn about your musical sensibilities and tastes so we can use your preferences along with our expertise to create a party atmosphere that celebrates your union and the joy you want to share with your guests. We’re also able to learn up to two new songs that have meaning to you and that you want performed at your reception.

Yes, all of our musicians were carefully chosen for our bands thanks to their talent and knowledge of music. Many of them studied music at prestigious schools across the country and have years of professional performing and studio experience from all over the world. We invite you to view the profile of each member of our three bands on our website to get a sense of the amazing professional experience all of our musicians have under their belt.

Of course it depends on how long the reception is but typically in a four hour reception it’s around sixty songs between dinner music and the dancing portion of the reception. We take a custom approach to every event we play. No two weddings are the same for us. We like to use your musical sensibilities and tastes along with our expertise to create amazing parties.

Yes, we help most of our clients with their ceremony music. This service can involve something as small as solo keyboards, solo guitar or a solo harpist or a classical ensemble as large as a string quartet. Whatever you prefer to help create your desired atmosphere we’d be happy to make happen for you. We also offer our clients the option to rent a smaller sound system so to amplify your vows and your officiant so all your guests can clearly hear all the elements of your ceremony.
