Absolutely everyone loved them

5 stars - The King Bees are Highly Recommended
booked The King Bees for their Wedding in North Yorkshire August 2023

“Absolutely everyone loved the King Bees. You can imagine how hard it is to find music that everyone at a wedding will enjoy, from your grandparents to the moody teenagers in the corner, but the King Bees definitely did it for us. I had so many people during the wedding come and tell me how great the band was. I'm not a dancer but they had me up on the dance floor which is an achievement in itself. Danny was really easy to deal with in the run up to the event, was really flexible and wanted to just do what he could to accommodate us. They didn't need much space and set up was quick and easy. Would defintiely recommend them to everyone- and I'm a very fussy person. ”

Incredible band that created a great atmosphere

5 stars - The King Bees are Highly Recommended
booked The King Bees for their Wedding in Derbyshire

“The King Bees we're perfect for our wedding and helped make the evening really fun. All our guests told us how great they were and the dance floor was full from start to finish. The band were friendly, flexible and helpful (and even found my wedding ring which got lost during our first dance!) We couldn't have asked for any more from them and would definitely book them again for any sort of event.”


A fantastic addition to our wedding celebrations

5 stars - The King Bees are Highly Recommended
booked The King Bees for their Wedding in North Yorkshire

“We booked The King Bees as our wedding entertainment between the food and before our evening guests arrived to get the party started. And they definitely did that! Everyone was up and dancing and many of our guests commented on what a great band they were. We couldn’t agree more! They managed to set up before we arrived at the reception venue and packed up afterwards quickly and efficiently. Many thanks to The King Bees!”
