The KEYNOTES

We want to start this review by thanking the Keynotes. Rich, Peter, Conrad and Maurizio, you guys absolutely killed it at our wedding.
When we were starting to look for a band for our wedding we did not know how long it would actually take. In actual fact, the band and the videographer were the things that took the longest to get right! We must have looked through 40+ bands on a variety of websites, and finally we came to the Keynotes. Their setlist is definitely the most wide range of hits, their professionalism is top notch, and their website/instagram made for the perfect first impression. Once we spoke to Rich through email, he provided us with many links to videos and even a live performance that they JUST put together from a weekend prior. After watching them from these videos we were hooked.
When we arrived at our venue to do first look photos, the Keynotes had just arrived as well to setup. They were well ahead of guest arrival and were ready to go well ahead of their scheduled performance.
Our speeches went over the scheduled time and they accomodated to our needs. Now for the fun part....their performance. Plain and simple, they rocked! They started with signed sealed delivered and smoothly followed up with follow you down, no pun intended. Their first set was comprised of mainly 50-70s dance hits, into their second set and third set comprised of mainly 80s-2000s. But the beauty part is, we picked them all! They allowed us to look at their master setlist, as well as an already put together "wedding setlist" and add/remove any songs that we wanted. Peter, the lead vocalist, knew how to get the crowd going, asking for chants, dancing with us, and getting that dance circle moving. During and now two weeks after our wedding, we have been hearing non stop from our guests "how great the band was" and to make sure to send them the Keynotes' name for future bookings. Some guests said that it was the best part of the wedding!
Boys, again, thank you so much for making our night so much fun. If you have any hesitation with the Keynotes, there is no need because I am telling you they will not disappoint.

We can't say enough great things about this extremely talented, fun and amazing band! They played at our wedding party last weekend and everyone danced all night long- ending the night chanting for 5 more songs!
Rich was fantastic to communicate with prior to the event; helpful, organized and timely with email responses.
Absolutely would recommend them to anyone looking to make their event amazing!!

What a wonderful group of musicians! They played great music and the singer was fantastic. They just made the party. A great time was had by all.

We saw The Keynotes at my sister in-law's wedding in 2016. We knew then that they were something special. I've heard bands at weddings before and found that they can sound like a typical rock band where all the songs sound similar. This could not be more different from The Keynotes. They play so many different genres and transition between songs so smoothly. As soon as we got engaged, step 1 was lock down a venue, step 2 was immediately book The Keynotes. Our guests have been commenting for weeks that it was one of the best weddings they've ever been to and it was largely due to the band. They literally made our wedding and we now have a long list of friends and family that want to book this band for their events. We also used The Keynotes for an accoustic set during our wedding ceremony and it was absolutely beautiful. You will not be disappointed with them, they are absolutely fantastic!

We hired the Keynotes for our wedding and it was the BEST wedding-related decision we made... besides deciding to get married of course ;) We've seen bands play at a few weddings and knew we wanted the energy a live band brings, but the Keynotes performance at ours was so far beyond that. Staff had to collapse extra guest tables to make room for more people on the dance floor a few minutes into their first set! The whole band was high energy, funny, friendly, interactive with guests.. people were raving about them all night and we received so many phone calls, texts, and emails after the wedding with the same compliments! We keep hearing that our guests can't wait to hire them for their next big event. Peter also performed our ceremony songs acoustically. It made the ceremony that much more special, and he was happy to learn to play/sing the specific song I wanted to walk down the aisle to because he didn't know it already. He did an AMAZING job. We used their "simple DJ service" over cocktail hour, dinner, and between sets. TOTALLY worth it. Literally can't say enough good things. Stop reading reviews--HIRE THEM!
