Michael Beers band - Kansas City Wedding Band - Michael Beers Band

The Michael Beers band is not available at this time.

Dear Bride and Groom, or Event Coordinator:

　　　　 We are excited that you are considering the Michael Beers Band to play for your reception or event. We pride ourselves in being the hardest working band in the industry, playing longer sets and taking fewer breaks than any other band. Our stated goal every time we play is once we get the guest to the dance floor, we want to keep them there. And we will, with song after song of great dance music from all the different eras and genres. Because in the end, no matter how hard we work, it’s the music—the actual songs—that provide the energy and excitement to make a reception or event really take off.

　　　　 Many receptions and social events are open to all ages. The music a band plays must be able to bring those age groups together and keep them satisfied for four or more hours. This takes variety in the music, especially in 2007. Most everyone will enjoy a chicken finger, or a piece of wedding cake, but not everyone will like just all pop, or all rock. That’s why we’ve thrown into the mix, R & B, swing, Motown, country, oldies, Latin, and jazz.

　　　　 One of the most important elements a band must consider for a reception to be successful is volume. A band can’t be too loud for the room—and we never are. That’s a promise. Second, it’s nice to hear music that sounds like the original artists, and we work extra hard to make sure the arrangements and sound of the band does just that. Third, for an evening to feel genuine, the musicians must want to play and enjoy the music they are performing. Lastly, the band must be flexible within the parameters of the event, and be content to focus on helping create the kind of reception the bride and groom or the event management desires. The Michael Beers Band knows how to do all these important things, and has hundreds upon hundreds of receptions and events to back them up. Weddings and social events are just about all we do, and we know them inside and out.

　　　　 Michael Beers is comfortable being the master of ceremonies. He knows what to say when it’s time for the father/daughter dance and dad isn’t anywhere to be found, or when the event schedule gets out of sync, or the photographer runs out of film. He doesn’t panic when the band arrives and the stage is not set up, or the acoustics in the room are terrible, or a guest demands the band play the Chicken Dance, or Uncle Barry wants to sing a song for his niece, or the fundraising auction runs an hour over. He has gathered not only great musicians, but friendly ones—players who love what they do and who want everyone to have the best time possible. It’s a band that smiles, and doesn’t smoke, or drink, or take breaks that pull the energy out of the room.

　　　　 Please read through our references, look at the events we’ve played and the venues we’ve played in, and then take a read through our testimonials. You will see that our history is solid and our experience unmatched. We are fresh from being chosen as the vocalists for the Plaza Lighting Ceremony on Thanksgiving Eve, and we’re a founding member of pwpthelist.com, the Preferred Wedding Professionals Association in Kansas City, of which the members will all tell you’ve hired the best if you’ve hired the Michael Beers Band. We look forward to answering any questions you may have and to hearing you say, “We want to book the Michael Beers Band for our wedding or event!” Call us soon—we book up fast!

Regards and cheers,
Michael Beers
