Description

Special Events demand The Special Guests, one of Northern California & Nevada's busiest and most popular bands performing all of the Classic Rock, Blues and R&B Hits people just can't get enough of anywhere else. Saving parties across the globe from canned music one gig at a time...

"The Special Guests were absolutely fantastic! They played 2 Harvest Festival's for our school. They sounded great, had a good repertoire, and really pumped up the event."

Brian Muth, Principal
Kolbe Academy / Trinity Prep

"What a Find! We needed a band for our wine club event and boy did the Special Guests deliver. Even though it was cold outside, the Special Guests heated up the crowd and the dance floor from the start. I would recommend them for any occasion big or small. We are looking forward to using them for all of our future events, and I want to use them for my wedding too."

Dustin Fults
Hospitality Manager, Langtry Estate & Vineyards

"Our Students and Faculty are still raving about how much fun they had at your show! Everybody loves you and we're looking forward to your next appearance."

Feedback from a recent Dinner Dance Event:

"Hi Kevin,

Thank you so much for your performance! It was absolutely perfect and everyone was very pleased. The owner of the property told us the next day how much she enjoyed it as well (her house was down the hill) so I am going to give her one of your cards so she can recommend you to other brides. I just wanted to let you know how wonderful your contribution to the evening was.

Thank you so much!"

"Dear Kevin and Special Guests,

Thank you so much for performing at our wedding. "Thank You" just doesn't seem enough for your generosity and kindness, it turned out to be an absolutely perfect evening! We're forever grateful...

Warmly,
Tasha and Matthew"

The Schmitz Wedding Reception was off the chain at the Sonoma Memorial Veterans Hall!

"The Special Guests far exceeded my expectations. The communication prior to the event was excellent. They arrived at my event early and were ready to roll at agreed upon time. And most importantly, all my party guests loved them. The Special Guests rocked the house and everyone danced during all the sets. It was so much fun and I thank them for making my party so successful. All band members were professional, pleasant and genuinely enjoyed themselves. I would highly recommend them and hire them again!"

We had a blast helping Gayle celebrate her birthday in style at the Half Moon Bay Yacht Club, Half Moon Bay CA

"Thank you for all of your hard work and great music, we will never forget our awesome Wedding Reception thanks to The Special Guests!"

All the best...

Feedback

  • The Special Guests were great! From the first contact with them I was very satisfied with their communication and professionalism and willingness to make anything work for what I was requesting. I loved how they were just as excited to perform at the surprise party as I was to be throwing it. We all had fun and I would highly recommend them for any type of party. Great voices, great sound, great band! Thank you so much. -- Deanna D, Santa Rosa, CA, 10/22/2011
  • I would strongly recommend this team for your event. They are professional, accommodating, and most importantly, very entertaining. -- Suvas V, Fremont, CA, 11/27/2011
  • Kevin and his band were a bride/grooms dream to work with. We planned with them from across the country (we live in PA- got married in CA). He returned phone calls & emails within they day they were sent and never missed a beat! They went out of their way to be accomadating and had the show under control at all times. They are super talented and had every guest ready tp party!!! -- Angela S, San Francisco, CA, 9/9/2011
