Ken,
Thank you so much for the fabulous job you did at our wedding. Everyone is
saying how great you guys are and how it was the best wedding they've ever been
to. Your band really made the reception amazing. Good luck with all you do!
Thank you,

Hi Ken,
Our videographer said you guys were excellent!, and they see tons of bands every weekend at
weddings. He said, "Better than 7 piece bands worth six grand." They couldn't
believe the music that came out of the four of you! We really loved you guys!!
On our video, they captured your whole song by
Andrea
Bocelli,
"Con Ti Partiro". I
don't know if I had a chance previously to tell you this, but it is absolutely
beautiful, and people have told me that your performance of this song left them
speechless. I am glad it is on our video, it really means a lot to me.
Again, thanks
for making my wedding reception so special!

FAQ |
What types of music do you perform?
We have a very extensive
Song List,
ranging from the swing era, 50's and 60's, Motown, Rock 'n' Roll, R&B, to
contemporary and current top 40. We also perform a wide variety of jazz
standards and special occasion music for all types of events. Everyone's reception/event is different, and so are the musical tastes of the
guests. We do not restrict ourselves to the same set play list night after
night. We choose all our selections on stage, depending upon what the guests
respond to best. We mix ballads, medium tempo and up tempo songs at the
appropriate moments to ensure dancing from the start to finish.
How long does the performance run? The Ken Battista Band usually contracts for 180 minutes playing time during a
four-hour period. Normally, the band will play three long sets, with two breaks
dividing the sets. The actual length of the sets will often depend upon the
caterer's serving schedule. For example, the first break is usually taken during
the main course, and the second break is usually taken during dessert. However,
our sets and breaks can be adjusted according to your needs.
Is there music during the breaks? Yes! We always provide cd music during the breaks.
Will you help with the introductions? Yes, we will MC as much, or as little, of your
reception as you like. Most couples like us to begin the reception with a couple
of low-key jazz standards, while inviting people to be seated. Meanwhile, either
the band leader or the Maitre de will line up the family and bridal party for
their arrival, and then make the appropriate announcements. We will perform the
first dance, and then invite the appropriate person up to the microphone to
offer the blessing, if applicable, and toasts. We will then officially open the
dance floor. We can also MC traditional festivities, such as
the cake cutting and the bouquet/garter toss.
A few other helpful hints or suggestions for
your event To create the right atmosphere, be sure to talk to the host/hostess about
dimming the room lights after the dinner service has been completed. This helps
to set the mood for dancing.
Finally, once you've finished your planning, relax and enjoy your wedding day!
With the Ken Battista Band, you can be assured that your entertainment will be
the best it can be!
