We were thrilled with the Bluewater Kings Band for our wedding! Owen was fantastic to work with - he was prompt, organized, and enthusiastic in his communication.

THEY ARE ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. They were at our wedding on 9/2 at Swan Lake Event Center and they made it the best, most amazing party of my entire life. Our dance floor was packed all night! They were playing guitar on the pianos, did great crowd work, they also provided music for our ceremony. Greg had a few conversations with us leading up to the big day and was so easy to talk to about what we wanted.
