Feedback
- I can't say enough about KOKA. Pam was always available for my tons of questions, and the entire band was so accommodating. They were willing to learn a new tune or 2 just for our wedding. Their sound was perfect for the feel we wanted at our wedding. We can't recommend them enough = they truly are the best! -- Stephanie D, Jersey City, NJ, 5/16/2009
- We had a backyard college graduation party with about 70 guests ages ranging from 2years to 75 years old. Everyone absolutely enjoyed KOKA. Thet were the hit of the party and we would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking to have a good time. -- Joe J, Brick, NJ, 5/30/2009
- Tom played solo steel drum for our wedding ceremony on the beach. All of our guests loved his unique talent. He added a great "island" feel to our day. Tom is a true professional. Look no further. -- Ricky C, Belmar, NJ, 10/4/2008
- When we booked KOKA we did all our leg work on line thru Gigmasters. The experience was very easy. We heard their music online and they also sent us a CD to listen to. They arrived on time and their set up was easy. When they started playing at my daughter's wedding cocktail hour no one could believe how great they were. It was an added plus since we had a DJ at the wedding who was also fabulous. If I could rate them a 10...I would. We have lots of friends that have children who are getting married, and I have been told I set the bar really high for them!! Thank you KOKA (PAM) and thank you gigmasters!!!! -- Linda G, Perth Amboy, NJ, 6/28/2008
- KOKA was way more than I expected!! They were simply wonderful and we couldn't get enough of them! We will be using them again for sure and we will even try to catch them at other venues if possible. They are easy going, very talented, accomodating and there music is so festive! They made my party the best it could possibly be! All the guests wanted business cards when they left! Thanks for everything KOKA!!! -- Kristin M, Wall, NJ, 7/12/2008
