"Guests shed their masks and their shoes to hit the dance floor after a heartfelt ceremony and fundraising for metastatic breast cancer. Thanks to Louisville band Kudmani, the tone of the evening became an incredible celebration of life. We didn't see a dance floor so hyped the rest of the year." - Voice Tribune



Testimonials

"2020 has been a CRAZY year for everyone. By November of 2019 we were ready....and then COVID hit. We had to switch dates 3 times and venues twice; we lost a bunch of money on deposits from vendors; our original party of 240 was dwindled down to less than 60. No one from my immediate or extended family were there aside from my mother, father and brother. We even cancelled Kudmani. And then Sammy called. He promised an epic night full of fun and dancing that everyone would love. Guests would be clanging on tambourines and cowbells; everyone would be involved in an interactive reception with the band. I was still a little hesitant but decided that we would go with them as a band was my only request to my wife for our special day.
BEST DECISION EVER. I have never had so much fun in my life. Everyone was singing, dancing, and smiling. There was a point in the night that Sammy told all of us to look around the room. NOT A SINGLE PERSON was sitting down. EVERYONE was up, jumping, singing, laughing. My parents were cutting rug and having such a great time all night long. All of our guests kept commenting on the band and how awesome they were. Kudmani was one of the only original pieces of our special night from the beginning of planning, and I cringe thinking that we almost did not hire them. A truly EPIC wedding reception. Take it from us, who literally had to plan our wedding 3 times during a pandemic, Kudmani will be the best decision you will make. 10 stars!"

“I feel like I could write a book and it still would not be enough to describe how amazing KUDMANI is! Not to sound dramatic but I cannot capture in words the joy and fun that they brought to our wedding. Sammy is the ultimate professional. He is a yes man and his goal is to make sure everybody has the best time. Most importantly though he is very bride and groom oriented. He listened to every word I said and executed everything perfectly! The female lead has an amazing voice but all the men in the band can sing and are so amazing and talented. Their lights are amazing, they change the lyrics to songs, dance with the crowd, sing in the middle of the crowd, pull the Bride and Groom on stage, cater to the bride and groom’s families, and the list goes on and on. My ceremony and reception were in the same room and that required flipping the room in about 45 minutes – including setting up the instruments and completing a sound check. Somehow, that was no problem for KUDMANI! My wedding was a long drive for numerous people and KUDMANI was so good, even those guests who did not have a hotel stayed until the bitter end. In the days after the wedding people were raving about the band and sending us the BEST videos from the dance floor. During the planning process, my fiancé and I did not agree on music. I wanted the band and he wanted a DJ – mainly because of the price difference. On our honeymoon he actually let me say “I told you so” and said hiring KUDMANI was the best decision we made throughout the entire planning process! I can’t say enough good things! The biggest favor you will do for yourself when you are planning a wedding is booking KUDMANI.”

“THIS BAND…did an amazing job. As we all know, the music at a wedding can truly make-or-break the event. My husband and I were very critical about all options; after reading Kudmani’s reviews and speaking to a couple of people that have worked with him, our interest was peaked. Speaking with Sammy was the next step. He was so incredibly thoughtful and made me feel like I was legit the only person he was working with; I got 100% of his attention – he was there every step of the way. It was awesome. And the result was exceptional. We had an absolute blast – he knows how to get and keep people on the dance floor – he’s a true professional. He brought the energy, the excitement and the awesome music. Also, he was an AWESOME MC which did not go unnoticed. One month after our wedding, people are still raving about Kudmani. Do yourself a favor and book them!”

“We cannot say enough positive things about KUDMANI. They were everything we hoped for and expected for our reception. We wanted everyone on the dance floor and that’s exactly how it went. When it came to planning out the timeline for our reception, Sammy was extremely helpful and prompt in his emails. They play a great mix of music of all genres for all ages so everyone is included. After everything was said and done, we had SO many compliments on our band. “That was one of the best bands we have ever heard at a wedding” to be exact.”
