Letters from the bride & groom  via email:

Hello Don,

My bride and I could not have asked for better musical entertainment at our wedding reception. Even seasoned vendors working the reception told us how remarkable the band was, let alone the guests, who provided numerous compliments, too! We knew from the moment you all started playing your first song that KC Prime would have the place absolutely rockin' all night long. We saw people get up and dance that we never thought would have done so! We appreciated your keen ability to observe the mood of the guests and decide whether to play slow or fast songs, rock & roll or slow-dance songs, etc. Also, from our first phone conversation in February to the last song of the reception in August, you exhibited a great deal of professionalism. It was clear to all of our guests that each of KC Prime's band members is passionate about performing great music, and this made the reception all the more spectacular. Thanks again!

Sincerely,

Blake and Brittany

 

I wanted to let you know how much Tim & I
& everyone at the reception loved KC Prime!
It was exactly what we were looking for -
a great band to dance to. I have received so many
comments on how "great the band was."
So please pass this on to all of your band members
and thank you again. I wish we could do it all over again.
                                                         Sincerely, Kristi

Don,
Kevin and I just wanted to thank you for
making our reception such a wonderful event!
You and your band were incredible.  
Thanks again for everything!
Sally and Kevin
