• In Kahootz did a great job at our wedding. They far exceeded our expectations, especially with how hard they worked to make it through 22 inches of snow in a blizzard to perform at our wedding, to make our day perfect. We truly appreciated the effort that they put into making our night memorable. We especially enjoyed dancing to "our song" Save a Horse Ride a Cowboy with all of our friends who have gotten married since we started dating. Thank you for making our wedding day unforgettable. Joe and Emma Baumann -- Emma C, Chippewa Falls, WI, 12/11/2010
• This group of gentlemen were one of the best groups we have booked for our Music in the Park. We had a particular problem with the weather that day; rain on, rain off. They made the ultimate decision to set-up and take a chance with the weather, or we would have had to move inside, losing the outside venue. They were all friendly, fun, and worked with our crowd, played great music that all enjoyed. We heard such great comments from everyone, and would love to have them back again. They would be the greatest entertainment for any type of celebration that you are scheduling for yourself or your community. -- Sandra A, Durand, WI, 6/22/2011
• We would highly recommend in kahootz for any wedding or gathering!! They are very talented musicians that kept the dance floor full all night! Very friendly, professional group, easy to work with and extremely flexible! They made our wedding reception a night to remember for all. We had numerous compliments from guests how great the band was, from music selection to how well they sounded! Thank You in kahootz for a great night! -- Stacie F, Birchwood, WI, 1/14/2012
• We are happy that we had In Kahootz as our wedding band. Don Crane (keyboard player) was great to work with while planning the wedding. We had a few special items that they worked with us on and Don always responded to emails promptly. Having a five piece band was great and we would certainly recommend In Kahootz, they rock!! -- Simon F, Chippewa Falls, WI, 7/3/2011
• From the moment the band arrived to our wedding they knew exactly what they needed to do to make our day the best it could be. Each member introduced themselves to myself my new wife and her mother and were super friendly and excited to play music for us. They were very accommodating when dinner lasted longed then expected and when special dances did not happen when we originally planned. Every one at the wedding loved them asked where we found the, and had a blast dancing to the music. It was awesome when they let some guests sing with the mic, play the cowbell, and dance behind them, even wearing their cowboy hats! It was absolutely awesome and we wouldnt change it -- Simon K, Withee, WI, 8/13/2011
• We were so happy to find this fantastic band. From our 1st contact with Inkahootz to the end of the wedding dance we felt they were perfect, very personable easy to work with and accomadating. The dance floor was full all evening, everyone in the band made sure that our guests were having fun! We would surely choose them when our 4 other children get married or if ever in need of entertainment. -- Jill H, Marshfield, WI, 6/26/2010
• Band members were on time for set-up and briefing before reception including email questionnaire few days prior regarding specifics of our event- VERY NICE! Band members were friendly, professional and truly interested in creating a memorable evening, which they did with crowd interaction, kid friendly songs and modern genres for everyone's entertainment. Truly a remarkable music group that enjoys working together! We unequivocally endorse to others considering live music in the Eau Claire area! Sean/Becky. -- Sean Becky S, Chippewa Falls, WI, 10/1/2010
• Enjoyed having in kahootz play for our wedding celebration. Easy contact and communication through email and phone. Great band, nice sound, good time...kept the dance floor full from the opening set to the final song. Band had fun playing and we had fun dancing! Music selection met our request and sound system was excellent. Bride and Groom very pleased. Would recommend in kahootz for future celebrations. Thanks in kahootz! -- Dennis W, Rochester, MN, 9/18/2010
• Besides my beautiful bride, In Kahootz was the highlight of the evening. They are a full crew of talented, professional entertainers. They were able to play a great combination of music to suit the entire audience. Everyone loved them. I’ve also seen them perform in a bar setting which led me to book them for my wedding. Check them out at the Red Parrot in Eau Clair if you have any doubts. I am comfortable recommending them for any occasion. They blow any DJ around completely out of the water. Great price and willingness to travel a huge plus. They definitely need to increase their performance fee! Thanks again guys! -- Kane E, Rochester, MN, 6/5/2010
• We had "in kahootz" play at my daughter's wedding dance and they were wonderful. The guests commented on how "classy" it was to have a live band... much better than a DJ. "In kahootz" was really in tune to the crowd and played music that we all liked. Great music to dance to. The band sent a questionnaire before the event to make sure they followed the requests of the bride and groom. They even posed for a picture with the bride and groom at the end of the dance. If you want a classy and fun wedding dance, get this band, you won't regret it!! Vicki - Mother of the Bride -- Luci I, Chippewa Falls, WI, 9/25/2010
• We were very happy with them they played to the crowd and look forward to seeing them again. -- Charles H, Eau Claire, WI, 5/8/2010
• They were very flexible and were ready to do anything we wished. Their communication with us was very good.They had set up everything when we got there so they had everything ready to go well ahead of time.They were all nicely dressed up and their manner of speaking was very polite and professional.I think everybody enjoyed the music they played. We would definitely have them play for us again. -- Pansy J, Eau Claire, WI, 12/12/2009
