In an industry where “word of mouth” is the best advertisement, The Ken Battista Band continues to stand out from the crowd. They pack the dance floor at every event with a solid foundation of talent, experience, versatility and professionalism that is prevalent from the first song of the night to the last.

From first contact through the last dance at the reception, Ken and the KB Band exceeded our expectations in every regard. Ken has a keen sense of the crowd and was able to keep everything moving at a great pace and the dance floor was always full with dancers of all ages. Many of our guests commented both during and after the event that the KB Band really helped make the reception extra special. I am sure you can pay more for a band for an event like our wedding reception, but you won't find a better band than the KB Band. Real professionals!

Dear Ken,
Just wanted to thank you again for the wonderful job that Ken Battista Band did at our Glasbern Inn wedding on October 2, 2010. So many of our guests asked where we found you; everyone (including Michael and I) were so impressed with the variety of music you played. You kept the dance floor full all night long and helped to make our wedding reception perfect. Glasbern told us that you were the best and most fun wedding band they have ever had play there. We will certainly recommend you to others. Please pass along our appreciation to the rest of the band.
Thanks Again! Sincerely, Lisa Held and Michael McIlhinney

Dear Kenny,

Thank you very much for your amazing performance at our wedding reception. Everyone was commenting on how great you were. We will always have fond memories of dancing to your beautiful version of "At Last." We also appreciated how easy it was to work with you and to set everything up from across the country. Weeks after our wedding, we're still hearing friends and family say, "That band was fantastic." You played a huge role in making our reception just perfect! Warmest regards, Lisa and Dean Erickson (July 2009 Baywood CC, Rehoboth Beach, DE)

Ken,
Thank you so much for everything! You made the wedding a nonstop dance party- we loved it! We will DEFINITELY refer you to all of our friends and family. Everyone commented on how great you guys were.
Thanks again for everything! Christine (April 25, 2009 Ocean City Yacht Club)

Dear Ken, and the rest of the band members,
I just wanted to once again thank you for making Christine and Patrick's wedding reception such a memorable occasion. We have had so many people call and tell us what a wonderful time they had at the reception, and both my wife and I know that the Ken Battista Band played a MAJOR part in that success. Many friends told us that they were on the dance floor the entire reception. Your music and selections kept the party rocking right to the very end. Sincerely. Bill Harold (April 25, 2009 Ocean City Yacht Club)

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!! Again, thanks for making my wedding reception so special! Lisa Heller (& Nick)

FAQ

What types of music do you perform? We have a very extensive Song List, ranging from the 50's , 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 200 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 to keep the party going.

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!
