"The Kingmakers were absolutely fantastic! They were so interactive with the guests at our wedding, and even brought a second mic which proved very popular, meaning everyone was singing along to the amazing set list which were total crowd pleasers. The energy for the entire set was amazing, and we had everyone on the dancefloor all night which is exactly what I wanted. I really could not recommed them enough for your wedding or event. They brought the vibe and totally made our wedding the fun energetic day we hoped for. All our guests after the wedding were raving about how great they were & Joao the whole way up until the wedding was always on hand to answer any questions."
"It was a bit nerve racking picking a band for our wedding over the internet but we had a good feeling about The Kingmakers. To say that they exceeded our expectations would be an understatement. They brought amazing high energy to the party and got guests involved in the performance. Our friends are still talking about how good the band was weeks after the wedding. At the brunch the next day, half of the guests had lost their voices from singing the night before!! Highly recommend!!!!"
"Better than ever expected, would hire them again and again! Exceptionally talented. Thank you guys so much!"
"We hired the Kingmakers as the main entertainment for our wedding in Portugal this past July and they were absolutely amazing!! They blew us away with their talent, energy and professionalism. Right from the start, it was clear that these guys are total pros — the way they played together, their friendliness and the incredible energy they brought to the stage were all top-notch. It felt like we had invited our Uni friends to perform and celebrate with us :D We had a millennial crowd from all over Europe, and the Kingmakers knew exactly how to get everyone on their feet. They didn’t just play music; they created a vibe that brought together people of different backgrounds and had everyone dancing. The atmosphere was incredible, and it’s clear that they know how to read a crowd and keep the party going. Just to add that they didn't even take a break and went onto a straight medley performance, their dedication and love for what they do made us so grateful to have found and booked them. They exceeded all our expectations and made our wedding truly unforgettable. I would love to find another excuse in my life to work with these guys again! We can’t wait to see them perform again! Highly recommend!"
"WOW! These guys were AMAZING at our wedding! They completely surpassed expectations, the energy they put into the performance was incredible, and the crowd interaction was fantastic. Our guests are still raving about how great the performance was, we had so much fun!"
"Great energy, great band! I would definitely recommend them if you're looking for some entertainment, they will definitely provide it! Thank you for an amazing performance :)"
"Outstanding Performance by The Kingmakers at our overseas conference at Vila Vita Parc on Saturday 8th June 2024. We recently had the pleasure of hiring The Kingmakers for our event, and they truly delivered an unforgettable experience for all our guests. From the moment they took the stage, their energy was electric, and it was clear that we were in for a great night. They played an incredible range of songs that catered to all tastes, keeping the dance floor packed all night. Even when they were meant to take a break they continued as everyone was having such a great time. They went above and beyond to ensure that everyone had a fantastic time, and their efforts did not go unnoticed. We can't recommend them highly enough and look forward to the opportunity to book them again in the future. Thank you, The Kingmakers, for making our event truly special! Kind regards, Samantha McFall, Chief Executive of Associated National Electrical Wholesalers Ltd."
"The kingmakers are easily the best wedding band we have had the joy of watching perform and we are not just saying that because it was our wedding! All of the members are extremely talented and have a great set list that kept all of our guests entertained and on their feet to the late hours of the night. We had a fairly tight area where the band could set up their instruments however this was no problem whatsoever and they made it work without a hitch! The performance of the vocalist was an absolute highlight of the night for us as he would interact with the guests, sing together with them an make sure everyone felt included and welcomed at our party. We are so grateful we chose them to be our wedding band and we recommend them to anyone looking to add a unforgettable performance to their wedding!"
"Booked the Kingmakers for a couple that lives abroad to perform on their wedding day, to kick off the dance party and I've got to tell you that it was the best decision they made to get the party started! They were absolutely brilliant, everyone was having a great time, the energy and interaction they have with the public is amazing and, also, their repertoire is great!! The couple (and all the guests) had so much fun with them. I will definitely be recommending them for future weddings and events :)"
"WOW, what a band! We were really looking for a group to bring the party to our wedding dance floor and they did just that. They played a party/funk 2 hour set that had our dance floor full from the first to the last song. We loved how they would dance and sing through the crowd. If anyone else is looking for a party kickstarting band, we would put these guys at the very top of our list! 10/10 well worth every penny."
"The Kingmakers on my 50th birthday made me feel like a king! The songs, groove, and singer/musicians were amazing and made our guests dance into the early morning hours. Highly recommended entertainers for a night of your life! Cheers, Christopher."
"The Kingmakers were absolutely fantastic! They had an incredible ability to get everyone on the dance floor with their infectious energy and captivating performance. The lead singer was especially impressive, effortlessly engaging with the crowd. It was amazing to see him come off the stage and dance among the guests, creating an unforgettable interactive experience. If you're looking for a wedding band that guarantees a fun and memorable celebration, The Kingmakers are the perfect choice!"
"The Kingmakers were the most amazing wedding band! Our guests (and me included) didn’t leave the dance floor while they were playing! Our dance floor was outside and their upbeat vibes meant that everyone was dancing to keep warm! I loved their set list and it was a perfect mix of multiple genres. Highly highly recommend this band! Truly incredible! We were even lucky enough to have them practising as the bridal party were getting ready in the villa on the morning of the wedding!"
"They were absolutely amazing! The energy and interaction they brought to our wedding really made it a memorable party!"
"Absolutely amazing! These guys were on fire and made the evening. They had great energy, great repertoire and were able to get everyone dancing and having fun. I would highly recommend them!"
"INCREDIBLE!!!! The Kingmakers exceeded every expectation - they are AMAZINGLY talented and so so much fun!!! They had everyone on the dance floor, worked the room - and after a little rain that had delayed things kept spirits high and kept the party going big time!! They were so helpful and kind, and we absolutely loved having them as part of our wedding. They were incredibly patient and professional, waiting while we got people back to the dance floor after the rain. They were really helpful during the booking and prep process too. HIGHLY RECOMMEND for events and weddings!!! Want to see them again!!!"
"Thank you so much to The Kingmakers for performing at our wedding on Saturday - they were fantastic and created the perfect atmosphere for our guests. They learnt and performed our first dance song beautifully! I've already had a few people ask for their details and I hope to have them at other events in the future. Much love for an incredibly talented band!"
"This band is unbelievable. The professionalism in the work leading up to our wedding day, the flexibility in travel plans, the clearly rehearsed set list and their general attitude and excitement in performing were all well beyond the realm of expectation. Though all of this comes second to their unbelievable musical talent! You CANNOT go wrong with The Kingmakers - highly, highly recommend! Everyone danced the entire night and we are truly grateful for their work and effort!"
"Thank you for everything at our wedding, from the drinks reception to dinner sets and the evening! You are all so immensely talented and it was such a pleasure and privilege to have you there for our day! Your team was a true highlight for us and we’ve had so many wonderful comments on how amazing the band is, the dinner sets were also such a huge hit and a massive surprise for our guests. A real highlight for us was being sung into the wedding breakfast, it was such a special moment and we will always cherish it."
"The Kingmakers were absolutely OUTSTANDING! I cannot recommend them highly enough. The energy in the room that they created was amazing. Every musician was incredible and the sound quality of the singer was exceptional. The singer was so engaging with the guests and they had absolutely everyone dancing. I highly recommend them!"
"It was a pleasure to work with Joao and his team organising the details of the event in terms of band logistics. Joao was always positive and working in teams with the DJ and the venue. The performance was absolutely amazing. The energy the band showed up on the stage was electric, vibrant and in total relation with the public. A great band to watch and to dance all night long with no stops!"
"We had the most amazing wedding day and The Kingmakers were such a fun and lively band! The band really put us at ease when we weren’t ready for them to set up immediately on their arrival. We loved dancing the night away with all of our family and friends to their music and would recommend them to anyone planning their wedding or any event! Many thanks guys, you were brilliant!"
"The Kingmakers were absolutely incredible! The lead singer has an epic voice and they had everyone on the dance floor all night long. We couldn’t have been happier! Thank you so much!"
"The Kingmakers were beyond amazing at our wedding. They had everybody up dancing from the moment they started playing and even played a few encores when nobody wanted them to end. They are so friendly and honestly made our day. Thanks guys!"
"Absolutely amazing! We selected The Kingmakers for our wedding band and from start to finish they were exceptional. We spoke in advance and they accommodated every one of our requests in addition to making suggestions about what they thought would work well. On the night from the second they started playing the dance floor was full and we've had so many compliments about them!"
"We booked The Kingmakers for our wedding last month - they were INCREDIBLE!! They sounded just as good live as the recordings we saw. Our guests (and me and the husband!) enjoyed their music so much - they read the crowd too and knew what would get everyone up & moving! They were all lovely to talk to as well, we felt very lucky they were available to play at our reception!"
