Wedding Reception•Reviewed on June 18, 2015•From Louisville, KY
This band did an amazing job. As we all know, the music at a wedding can truly make-or-break the event. My husband and I were very critical of all options; after reading Kudmani's reviews/speaking to a couple of people that have worked with him, our interest was peaked. Speaking with Sammy was the next step. He was so incredibly thoughtful and made me feel like I was legit the only person he was working with; I got 100% of his attention - he was there every step of the way. And the result was exceptional. We had an absolute blast - he knows how to get and keep people on the dance floor - he's a true professional. BOOK HIM, it'll be an amazing decision, I promise!

From the time we booked them almost 2 years in advance, Sammy made sure everything was going to run smoothly. He sent us a sample timeline for the reception which helped immensely in the logistical planning of the big day. I personally, never left the dance floor with my friends and family, and my parents could not rave enough over how awesome they are. I have had multiple friends and family still tell me months after our wedding how much fun it was. If you want your friends and family to be talking and praising your wedding for months after the event, then you will book Kudmani today!

BOOK KUDMANI TODAY IF...
1) You want you and your guests to have the BEST DAY/NIGHT of THEIR LIVES.
2) You love music and you only want to listen to the BEST
3) You want people to DANCE (even the non-dancing types WILL dance)
4) BECAUSE KUDMANI is the BEST WEDDING BAND EVER
We couldn't have picked a better band to play at our reception. Not only did they play a wide variety of music to get everyone partying and dancing, they also sound like the artists they play and keep everyone excited and entertained. Kudmani is the BEST WEDDING BAND you will find. Hands-down. Relieve some stress today and choose Kudmani. :)

I searched extensively for a band that could play a mix genres. This was, by far, the best purchase of my entire wedding. The band setup looked amazing. Sammy was on point the entire night, making sure each and every guest was having fun (not easy with 120 people) from cocktail hour, through dinner and the reception. Sammy was proactive and responsive throughout the entire planning process, and so easy to work with. To sum up the night: my venue manager asked to re-hire KUDMANI, bridesmaids were dancing like maniacs all night, and an 8-year-old attendee told his mother "I didn't know weddings could be so fun!". I Can't say enough good things about Sammy & KUDMANI!

We loved having Kudmani as our wedding band!! Not only did our guests have a TON of fun dancing (after the wedding we heard from so many people how much they loved the band!), but Sammy literally runs the show at the reception. From the time guests arrive until they leave he takes care of everything-speeches, first dance, bride/father dance, groom mother dance, bouquet toss, garter toss, etc. As a bride and for my parents, it was a relief to not have to worry about anything. We would hire them again in a heartbeat--which we did for my sister's wedding and they were just as awesome! Worth every penny!

We could not have been more thrilled to have KUDMANI play at our wedding. They did a great job of engaging the crowd and bringing energy to our reception. Beyond playing a wide variety of high quality music, they also did a wonderful job of emceeing. KUDMANI was very professional and took the stress out of coordinating the flow of our reception. I HIGHLY recommend KUDMANI for your wedding or event.

When Jason and I got engaged, we both agreed we wanted a live band. However, live bands can be a little expensive! And when we put our interest out onto GigMasters, Sammy Kudmani got back to us within minutes!! From day one, he eased my worries of the expense, reassuring me that it would be worth it. And let me tell you...was he right! Not only is the band amazing beyond words, but they are so much fun and professional! My friends and family didn't get off the dance floor all night and they are still telling me a few days later how much fun they had and how awesome the band was. No question: HIRE KUDMANI FOR AN UNFORGETTABLE NIGHT:) LOVE YOU GUYS!

Kudmani is the best of the best! My husband and I, along with our guests could not have asked for better entertainment for our wedding. Kudmani is super interactive and very engaging with the audience. Sammy is an amazing emcee and an all around great guy! We are so thankful we had Kudmani to help us celebrate our day - it was definitely a day to remember and they made it happen for us. 100% recommend them any time!!!

Kudmani was the highlight of our wedding reception! Hiring them was honestly the best money we spent and there were a million compliments from our family and friends. They got the party going from the very first song, and kept our guests out on the dance floor all night long! We love you guys and can't say thanks enough for the awesome performance!

Kudmani was absolutely wonderful! Our guests had a wonderful time and Sammy was so easy to work with. Sammy was extremely helpful during the planning stages and provided suggestions throughout the whole process. The band performs a variety of music which was exactly what we were looking for. They are a top notch group and you need to book them for your next event! Our extended family was still talking about the band at Thanksgiving dinner, two months later! We are so happy we went with Kudmani and they went above and beyond to make our day special!

I cannot recommend Kudmani enough. My wife and I had a very specific vision as to what we wanted from our wedding band and Kudmani was able to exceed those expectations. They bent over backwards to make the day everything we dreamed it would be and went above and beyond to make sure all our guests were involved. Whether it was starting off the night by making all of the bridesmaids jam out on tambourines, or demanding that the groom, yours truly, perform a one-of-a-kind dance to Taylor Swift’s Shake It Off, no one was left behind. From day one, Kudmani was responsive, informative, and helpful. Kudmani did whatever it could to ease our fears and quell our concerns.

Wow, wow, and wow!!! I found Kudmani on this site, so happy we did. When we first booked Kudmani for our son's wedding, Sammy promised that our guests would have the time of their lives, and he was right. From the introduction of the wedding party, to the last song there was electricity in the air. They played (no pun intended) a huge part in the success of our whole day. At the end of the night and your guests are chanting, ONE MORE SONG, ONE MORE SONG, ONE MORE SONG. you know something went right! Sammy wants your guests to have a great time and works hard to make sure it happens. Thank you Kudmani for helping us make this one of the best days of our lives!!

We really loved the band & everyone in our group had a fabulous time! What sets Kudmani apart from the many, many band options is their connection with the crowd. Sammy circulates around to all the tables talking and welcoming everyone. I think he must be sizing them up and in his mind & instantly knows what music to play to make the crowd go wild! Our guests never left the dance floor the entire night. Sammy made sure to involve the crowd and really entertained our guests! I am a wedding planner and have seen a LOT of bands. Kudmani far surpassed my expectations in every way and I can't wait to work with them again! Thank u for making our wedding reception a blast!

My husband and I were delighted with the music and energy of Kudmani at our daughter and son-in-law's wedding reception in September. The band played a variety of music which appealed to all age groups in attendance. The kids especially liked the green hair wigs and cowbells. Yes, we got cowbell! Sammy Kudmani was an excellent MC and kept the reception interesting and lively. After our outdoor reception was finished he provided a DJ for another hour of indoor dancing. He is professional and easy to work with and delivers a quality performance that your guests will enjoy.

Kudmani was the best! Our guests are still talking about how amazing the band was. Sam and his team were on top of everything. His main focus was making it the best night of our lives and he absolutely allowed me to feel relaxed about everything because he had it under control. He made sure that my husband and I were comfortable the night of and also during the planning process. He provided extremely useful suggestions and he was fully accepting of my suggestions.
It was very important for us to have a band and I am thrilled that we chose Kudmani!
Thanks again guys :)

From the planning to the execution of the event, atmosphere, and music quality...the value that Kudmani provides far exceeds their booking cost...tremendous value.
Their service, communication, follow-up, and execution of the event was perfect...they will deliver all they promise! They rocked and created an atmosphere (and packed dance floor) that we'll remember for years to come. Kudmani had all guests young and old dancing all night...even our nearly 90 year old grandparents were on the dance floor late into the evening! Memories and photos from our event will live on far past our big day.
Book em'!

We planned our Kentucky wedding from afar and were uncertain whether we wanted a DJ or a live band. After interviewing several candidates the decision was easy! Sammy was kind, professional and full of ideas from the get-go. He responded quickly to e-mail and voice messages.
The day of our event he did a fantastic job keeping the reception flowing and got every single guest on the dance floor at some point. He promised an unforgettable wedding reception and his band more than delivered!

KUDMANI completely exceeded my expectations! They were amazing to coordinate the event with and then the day of the reception they were wonderful! They had everything planned out as we discussed and they sounded amazing. The songs they picked to play were perfect for the audience we had at the event. Everyone was still talking two days after the event about how amazing of a band they were. I could not have picked a better band to play at my reception. So beyond happy with everything!

Sammy was awesome and kept the dance floor packed the entire night. I requested the first dance/FOB/MOG dances to be DJ'ed instead of having the band play them and they had no problem with it. Sammy was always in touch and answered any questions I had. They were so fantastic and we had so many people compliment them. We even had some guests grab their business card to use them for their future events.
I highly recommend this band for any type of event, especially a wedding! Thanks for such and great and memorable night Sammy!!!

I could not have imagined anything better than Kudmani. They were everything we were hoping for in a band and more. Sammy was INCREDIBLE. His high energy kept the crowd having fun ALL night long. I had no worries the day of with how things transitioned, he had it all under control. I could not give a higher recommendation to this band. They were truly invested in making this the best day of our life. There is nobody else I could recommend, and I have been to a lot of weddings and seen several bands. It doesn't get better than KUDMANI.

KUDMANI was, in a word, excellent! Performing at a college homecoming event requires a band to be able to appeal to both current students and alumni of several generations all at once. KUDMANI delivered! All enjoyed their energy, enthusiasm, and eclectic repertoire all night long! From beginning to end, KUDMANI was easy to deal with, professional, and fun. I look forward to seeing them perform again soon!

Kudmani is great!! They had everyone dancing all night, and really made the reception a fun and memorable event. The guests raved: "This is the best wedding I've ever been to, including my own!" Even guests from NYC, Chicago, and California were blown away.
The band was great value. I requested several quotes, and Kudmani was very reasonably priced especially considering the quality, professionalism, and enthusiasm.
Lastly, they were also so accommodating and easy to work with. We were planning from out of town, so we were able to work with them and arrange to see them when we were in town. They were timely in responses and incorporated our requests.

Our experience with Kudmani was amazing from beginning to end!! Sammy was available whenever we needed and met with us on more than one occasion leading up to our wedding to make sure it would be a night to remember. The Tuesday night open rehearsal was a great way to preview the band before the wedding. When the big day came, Kudmani totally rocked our wedding!! The music selection appealed to guests of all ages. Our guests had a great time, and the dance floor stayed busy until the very end. Guests are still talking about how amazing the band was months after the fact! Thanks to Sammy and Kudmani for making our night so fun and memorable.

KUDMANI was AMAZING! Our reception was fabulous. Our family and friends continue to talk about how much fun they had dancing the night away. Sammy is so helpful with the planning process and met with me, my mom, and fiance several times to iron out the details. The lead singer is SO talented, her voice is incredible. One of our guests said that she had not laughed and danced that hard in 30 years! Because of KUDMANI, our reception is one that our family and friends will talk about for years. I wish i could give them 100 stars!
