    Kept the Dance Floor Packed All Night

    The Bay Kings Band brought INCREDIBLE energy to our wedding reception! We first saw them at a showcase event and were impressed by both their talent and versatility. Throughout the planning process, Billy and the team were professional, organized, and easy to work with. On the wedding day, a duo played jazz during cocktail hour, and the full 7-piece band kept the dance floor packed all night. We had a mix of French- and English-speaking guests, and they even accommodated our request for the French version of the Chicken Dance, which was a huge hit. If you're looking to elevate your wedding reception, I highly recommend the Bay Kings Band.

    Just OK

    Typical wedding band. Probably wouldn’t hire again. For over 5,000 we were allowed to ask for 2 songs guaranteed to be played & 3 genres. They largely played typical wedding reception music. When we (bride & groom) walked in to see the reception space after the ceremony, they didn’t introduce themselves to us. We had to approach the band and introduce ourselves first. They inexplicably stopped all music during the cake cutting, which was extremely awkward. I’ve got videos of the entire room silently watching the cake cutting. No clue why. Great singers, but we really didn’t want kitschy cheesy wedding music and I feel like that’s what we got.

    Hi Brooke, Thank you for the kind words about our singers. That said, we're sorry the overall experience didn't live up to what you were hoping for. We have an online planning portal designed specifically to help us get the music right for each couple, capturing song requests, do-not-play lists, and genre preferences so the band can tailor the setlist to your vision. We regret that despite that process, the setlist felt like it leaned more toward standard wedding fare than the vibe you were looking for. We also apologize for not introducing ourselves when you entered the reception space, and for the music gap during the cake cutting. Neither reflects the attentiveness we aim for. We appreciate you taking the time to share this, and we'll use it to improve how we communicate with couples and deliver on the experience they envisioned. Wishing you all the best, Bay Kings Band

    Bay Kings Band is THE choice!

    We first saw the Bay Kings Band perform at a wedding in Nov. 2022, and it was then that we knew we wanted a live band to play at our reception when we got married. When we started wedding planning in 2025, we decided to check out the Bay Kings Band at one of their showcases. Billy, the producer, approached us early on in the evening and started getting to know us. After watching them perform that night, we decided to look no further. Billy was our primary point of contact and was incredibly easy to work with. He was quick to respond whenever we reached out and made the planning process easy. He also made a concerted effort to get to know us and our personal music tastes in the months leading up to the wedding. During our final planning call about 2 weeks before the wedding, we went over our must play list, do not play list, and the songs we wanted played during various events (grand entrance, last song, etc.). We’ll admit that we presented Billy with several challenges, in that many of our do not plays were songs they probably play all the time at weddings (mostly line dances, Bruno Mars, Single Ladies, etc). We also were not going to have any formal dances, and we had no opinions on what we wanted played during the other events that night. Billy did a great job at talking us through options as well as getting a feel for what our guests might enjoy. On the night of our wedding, Billy and the Bay Kings Band absolutely slayed it. We had so many guests come up to us that night raving about how great the vibes were thanks to the band’s energy, set list choices, and each person’s talent. The dance floor was packed full the entire night, without a single line dance played. It also helped that they played several numbers from the Shrek and Shrek 2 soundtracks, which we assured Billy previously would go over VERY well with our crowd. They also threw in a few little surprises just for us that made our night all the more special. In addition to being wildly talented, each person from the band we spoke to was incredibly kind and gracious. We absolutely loved each and every member of the band present that night and will be forever grateful for all they did to make our wedding the best night of our lives. Do it. Hire them. You will not regret it. And be sure to include a saxophonist!

    If you want a party, go with Bay Kings Band!

    We are so thrilled we went with Bay Kings Band for our St. Pete wedding! They performed at my older brother and older sister's weddings as well a few years ago, and the choice to hire them too was an easy one. We got too many compliments on the band and dance floor to count, and our dance floor was PACKED all night. Brandon and the team were so kind and easy to work with through the entire process, and all of the emceeing and audio aspects of the day went off without a hitch. They played a variety of music we loved from Motown & classics to bands from our youth like Green Day and Third Eye Blind. They read the crowd perfectly and played hit after hit, to the point that we were like "can you please just play ONE bad song so I can sit down for 30 seconds" haha. Thank you BKB for throwing the best party we could have asked for, we will cherish those memories forever!


Of course! We love to travel! We do charge extra for the time depending on the location and you’ll need to cover transportation and accommodation for all band members. Ask your producer for a quote based on the specifics of your event. PS–if it’s within a couple hours, that’s included within our basic package at no added charge.
You can request different styles in our online planning system depending on the formality of your event.
We do! See our events page for more details.
Absolutely! We’re an all-inclusive band with a broad musical repertoire. Want classical music for your ceremony, a jazz set for your cocktail hour, and dance party reception? You’ve got it. Speak to your producer for more specific details and requests.
We play a wide variety of music. From Top 40, to classics, to classical and jazz. You can get an idea of the musical styles you can choose from on our media page.
We have a solid repertoire of songs that will please all of your guests from your 6-year old niece to your grandfather. It’s always important to have some freedom to read the room on the night; but our number one priority is pleasing YOU. Just let us know what you want to hear, and, if it’s not already in our repertoire, we’ll work with you to make your night perfect.
Of course! Just make sure you give us enough notice of your special request so the band has time to learn your song.
The band can absolutely play during dinner, but we’d recommend using your sets when your guests are ready to stand up and get dancing. Our typical event reception includes 4 x 50-minute sets with short DJ sets between the band sets. If you would like a dinner set, please let us know ahead of time as we defer to playing after-dinner sets unless otherwise instructed.
