    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.

    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.

    Lady Be Good's reply:

    Hi Winnie,

    I am truly sorry the pandemic happened during such an important time in your lives. It is unfair. While I understand your disappointment, I would like to address a few of the details you have mentioned above:

    - The agreement you signed with us clearly states that the deposit functions to hold the musicians for your date and as a result is non-refundable should the event need to be rescheduled or cancelled for any reason.

    - The agreement you signed with us did not offer the option to reschedule but I have offered you the option (several times) to apply your deposit to a new date at any point in the future at no additional cost. You have refused, as you were planning a wedding where most of your guests would be flying internationally to Toronto. You yourselves would be flying in from New Zealand and you are choosing not to reschedule at a later date.

    - This rescheduling offer has been extended to all of our 2020 clients and is now a part of our permanent agreement as we believe it is the best way to move forward and offer our clients flexibility during this uncertain time. All of our clients have found this extremely fair and have thanked us for being accommodating.

    As I have already mentioned all of the above to you several times by email, I can appreciate that this reply doesn't offer any additional comfort.

    However, as a business and a band we have always held integrity as a core value in everything we do. I am personally proud of the relationships we have with our clients and while I'm disappointed that this is the first time someone has left a negative review, I do know I've done all I can.

    I wish you and your fiance health and happiness during this time. If the wedding does eventually happen in Toronto we are still here and happy to perform. The offer is still on the table.

    Cheers,

    Kat

    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!

    Lady Be Good's reply:

    Thank you so much Meaghan! I'm so glad the song selection worked out the way it did. I didn't expect to get teary eyed! :) We loved being a part of your wedding

    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.

    Lady Be Good's reply:

    Thank you, Alex! We had so much fun working on the requests and loved being a part of the celebration! :)

    Kat was a pleasure to deal with from the get-go. She was organized and always responsive. The band played exactly what we wanted - a mix of classic jazz and some modern music. All of our guests were very impressed. I would definitely recommend them for your next function. You can watch all of their videos on YouTube.

    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!

    BOOK LADY BE GOOD - NOW!!!! 'Nuff said.
    Seriously, what a fantastic addition to our wedding experience on September 2/17. We and our guests were blown away, and we got asked a LOT who the amazing band is and where we found them (thx, Carol!). In addition to being a wonderful and flexible vocalist, Kat is good at the business side of things - she's well organized, communicative, and very flexible - a huge pleasure to work with. And she gave us excellent advice about our choices from their really broad sing list.
    The tears flowed all around at the romantic last dance of the night, so mission accomplished, and in following days everyone said it was a real standout event. ...and this was a 3 hour drive from Toronto!
    We achieved what we were aiming for, and Lady Be Good was a big part of our dream coming true. Music is a big part of my world and the band is an inextricable part of how I will always remember my PERFECT wedding reception. A HUGE thank you to each of the musicians.
    Well, what are you waiting for? How can I impress upon you how happy you'll be when you look back at what a great decision you made for your wedding? And on the basis of an anonymous internet review!!! So you KNOW they must be awesome... Stop reading and start planning!

    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!
