Who is Kahootz?

Started over ten years ago, the Kahootz band is Boston’s premier party band. Foremost we are a high-energy dance band adaptable to any style event, whether a fundraiser, a corporate event, or a private affair such as a wedding reception. We come recommended by most major hotels in New England and are considered one of the top cover bands capable of performing every popular dance style from every era. Our fresh and unique approach to every affair we play is one of the many characteristics that set us apart from other bands. We achieve this by working closely with our clients to ensure they get the best party experience possible.

The Kahootz band is a nine-member rehearsed unit; therefore, the band you hire is the band you get. The group features one female and two male lead singers in addition to a four-member rhythm section of keyboards, drums, guitar, bass, and two horns: saxophone and trumpet. Among the musicians, two also sing lead, which gives the band five lead singers in all.

Why Kahootz?

We want your affair to be the best it can be. We take the time to meet with clients in person to go through all the details to make sure we get it right.

We bring the best gear. Static, feedback, and sonic dirt are the main reasons a band seems too loud. We’ve invested in premiere equipment to ensure we never have an issue regarding volume. We can work any size space for any size party.

Well, we’re just fun. We love what we do – and it shows.

We strive for an authentic sound. We’re not going to change your favorite song’s sound. Therefore not only are your guests going to dance to songs they recognize, but they’re also going to be exceptionally excited to hear those songs replicated by a stellar band.

No one plays a broader range of music than us. And we learn up to two songs for every affair we perform.

There is no substitute for experience. We’ve created amazing parties at over fifteen hundred private affairs.

We’re pros. We know the proper etiquette to handle ourselves at the finest hotels and venues. We work with the people at your venue to make your affair seamless.

We’re insured. We carry over a million dollars in liability insurance.

We are consistent. Each band is a rehearsed unit that sounds consistently excellent at every performance.

We understand this is about you, not about us. We don’t work with canned, generic playlists from the night before. Instead, we take a fresh approach to every affair we play based on your tastes and sensibilities.

We’re in the business of creating raving fans. Please look at independent websites like Wedding Wire and The Knot for reviews of the outstanding work we’ve done for others. We would love to create that same kind of party for you!

Choosing a specific list of songs for your Wedding Band

The key to creating an unforgettable experience for you and your guests is having as much information as possible. Ideally, we’ll have the opportunity to meet before the wedding. We like to have a detailed discussion about 10 days before the event. Usually these are done over Zoom.

During this meeting we’ll go over the reception itinerary, how to pronounce names and details about formal songs. Towards the end we’ll talk about song preferences for dancing.

I’ll ask you to share a few details, five songs, artists, or genres you would prefer to avoid at your celebration, and five that you’re excited to include as well as a few must plays and some song suggestions for your parents and their fiends in order to make sure the music is inclusive for them.

With this information, We can ensure the music perfectly suits your vision, allowing us to read the crowd and craft a fantastic atmosphere throughout the evening.

How Much Do Boston Wedding Band Cost?

Pricing for Boston wedding band can range anywhere between five thousand dollars to over eleven thousand dollars. There are many factors that go into a band’s pricing. To get the best value, a client can choose a time of year that’s less popular, January through April for example. Or, during high season (May through mid November) one can choose a mid-week or Friday night to help get a discounted price.

Travel costs are the number one reason a client would spend on the higher end of the range, or possibly more.

Our bands are based in Boston. When travel costs are a factor, the additional time it takes to get there is built into the client’s price quote. As one might assume, those costs can get dear when we are asked to travel to locations that are three or more hours away.

To be clear, once a band has to travel past sixty miles, your expenditure will go up. Also, please understand that, often, overnight accommodations are required when an event is over three hours away, goes very late, or if we can’t get back until the next day.

Not being able to return the day of an event often occurs when we are performing on the local islands where ferry service shuts down before a client’s party is finished. Other factors that can affect your investment are the size of the band, the band’s reputation and their talent. A band that features more members is going to cost more. Band’s that have great reputations and have proven track records for pleasing their clients year in and year out will cost more. Also, a band’s including performers with national reputations will command a premium.

Our aim at Kahootz Entertainment is to offer the best value possible for our clients. To get a price quote all you have to do it ask. All we need are a few specifics and we’ll get back to you as expediently as possible with detailed information and pricing. Using the contact form on our website is probably the most efficient way to do this, but feel free to email, call or even text. You’ll hear from us quickly, I promise.

Kahootz Band Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. We do detail meetings 10 days before a client’s affair. Most clients prefer to meet in person and I make every effort to accommodate that. Sometimes due to time, distance or people being to darn busy we do it over the phone. Whatever is best for you.

Happy to. We’ll learn up to two songs not on the current song lists.

Let me start by saying the more information we have the better performance we will do for you and your guests. Hopefully we’ll have time to meet before the wedding. Detail meetings happen 10 days before the affair and my preference is we do it in person.

At the end of the meeting I’ll ask you to give me five songs, artists or genres that you are horrified at being a part of your celebration. After that I ask that you tell us five songs artists or genres that you’re looking forward to being a part of the evening. At that point we ask that you trust that we’ll read the crowd and create a great event

What is ideal is a width of 22 feet with a depth of 12 feet. We rarely get ideal unless we’re at one of the hotels. We’ll do everything we can to work with the space you have.

We regularly do smaller sized affairs – we even did a surprise birthday party in Vermont for 19 people once! But we don’t cut the size down. We want your event to be incredible and we need our whole team to make that happen. One thing to know is because we use a state of the art sound system with in ear monitors for the singers we take up less room than most bands our size. The real downfall of cutting the band down in size is that you also cut down on the breath of material we do.

Absolutely. Over a million dollars worth.

Not at all. Often clients who have been taking dance lessons (groom’s take note: I’m NOT advocating this – ha ha ) choose to do their routine to CD because they’ve been practicing to it.

At your ceremony all your guests will want to be able to hear your vows, the officiant’s words and your reader’s prose. We offer a special system that does help to make sure everything can be heard. A satellite sound system for ceremony will include a microphone for your officiant, a microphone that will sit low on the groom’s or partner’s lapel or dress so it’s inconspicuous and a third microphone for any readers you may have. If your guest count is over seventy-five we strongly suggest this. The system is a rental. We pick it up, set it up, test it, break it down and return it to the rental house.
