Phenomenal band!!

Kat and Lady Be Good were outstanding, from contacting Kat to book through to the day itself. We had to reschedule our date twice due to the pandemic, and Kat was extremely helpful and understanding about all the changes. The band are incredible musicians and we felt privileged to have them play for our reception. They played a great mix of music for us - we and our guests had a great time both dancing and just listening to them. I would definitely choose them again and highly recommend Lady Be Good!!

Do not work with Kat

I found Kat to be difficult to work with. I would describe working with her during the COVID-19 pandemic as being characterized by slippery, deceptive, and cynical tactics. The pandemic made it illegal for our venue to operate and our band to perform. We offered to pay all of our vendors for work already performed and to receive the balance refunded from our deposit. It is clearly not legal for Kat’s band to perform on the contracted date because of the pandemic, but she insists she is entitled to keep our entire deposit while refusing to disclose any expenditures. She has no problem lying in an attempt to bolster her point of view. We had six different vendors to work with in these difficult and dangerous times, and Kat/Lady Be Good is the only one that behaved unprofessionally and chose to profit off of this pandemic. An acceptable solution was eventually achieved with each of our other five vendors, and Lady Be Good was the only unprofessional and unreasonable vendor we worked with.

Incredible Band!

We were completely blown away by Lady Be Good! They performed during our cocktail and reception this past weekend and we could not be happier with their performance the entire night! We received numerous compliments from guests saying that our band was one of the highlights of our wedding. Our planner also said that Kat was a dream to coordinate with and made the process very easy. We requested a song that wasn't on their song list and they performed such a beautiful rendition. Overall, we are so happy with our decision to go with Lady Be Good and we would HIGHLY recommend them!

You need to book this band

Lady Be Good played during our ceremony and cocktail reception in September. They struck the perfect balance of fun and sophisticated and we had so many people rave about how awesome they were. Kat the lead singer was our point person leading up to the wedding and she was very responsive and professional. She helped us pick the ceremony music and had lots of great suggestions. Lady Be Good is extremely talented and we are so happy that they were able to play at our wedding. Definitely one of the best parts of the whole day! I 100% recommend this band, you will absolutely not regret booking them. Plus they are very nice and fun!

We got married in early October (07/10) and wanted a jazz band to perform for our reception. We were immediately drawn to Lady Be Good's song list, as well as Kat's quick replies to our queries and her flexibility with our various (sometimes rather last-minute!) requests. The band was very professional leading up to and throughout the day, doing a great job setting up and taking down a sound system for our speeches in our dinner space as well as doing prompt setup and take-down of their equipment in our dance space. They also sounded absolutely fantastic on the day! In addition to playing a great mix of jazz standards and more contemporary pop songs, they played a number of Cole Porter songs that weren't on their song list for us, including a new arrangement of Night and Day (my fiancee's favourite). Lady be Good really made the evening special for us and we received a large number of compliments about their performance from our guests. I would highly, highly recommend them to anyone looking for a live band for any event!

Lady Be Good were absolutely fantastic to work with from the beginning! We hired them for our wedding to play ceremony, cocktail hour and dinner. We had a couple specially requested songs which they learned for us no problem and played them beautifully on the day. One of the requested songs was a bit of a doozy - our favorite song is an electronic song, which they made into an acoustic version for our first dance! Definitely a special and memorable moment for our wedding. We had so many guests complimenting their sound and everyone loved the style! Classic but contemporary all wrapped up in one! If we had to do it again, we would definitely stick with Lady Be Good and would definitely use them for other events in the future!

These guys are absolutely unbelievable, and they have an extended song list (hundreds) for us to choose from. We've got nothing but compliments from our guests. They are also very accommodating. We ran a bit late in schedule and they were happy to extend their stay.

amazing band-correspondence, performance, talent and price

We came across this band few years ago on our date during jazz night event at Ripley aquarium. we didn't know who they where but we loved Kat's voice! that night we both knew if we got married we moved love them at the wedding. and so we did for our dinner time show and everyone loved them! at first we thought they must be very expensive but I'm, glad i decided to find out pricing and they are very fair in price and their quality and skills are amazing! with covid we had to move our wedding 3 times and we glad they where available for our final date and where able to perform, Kat was very nice and accommodating in middle of chaos we had going on with wedding. which was greatly appreciated. we definitely look forward to have them again for future events and several people for my wedding asked for their info for their events as well.

Simply the best

Lady Be Good provided the soundtrack for our wedding last weekend at the Art Gallery of Hamilton. They did an INCREDIBLE job! Kat was responsive, accommodating and SO professional. They accommodated special requests, including a rendition of Jack Johnson's Better Together for our signing, and the Arkells And Then Some for our first dance. Several of our guests have formal music backgrounds, and they gushed about how amazing the band was. If you are thinking about booking them, DO IT! You won't regret it.
