Highly Recommend
Who Knew Entertainment was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding! Their communication style was excellent - they were responsive via email and text, and were always honest and positive in their interactions with us. Their vocals were incredible, and they played a wonderful variety of music that kept our guests entertained all night long. They helped us tailor the music for our ceremony to make it feel romantic and sweet, and their past event expertise made the planning process quick and easy. We couldn't have found a better duo to make our special day so seamless and fun - they were a huge hit with all of our guests! We highly recommend Who Knew Entertainment for both your reception and ceremony needs.

Everyone Loved the Music!! Made our day so special
From the moment we started working with Who Knew Entertainment, we knew we were in good hands. Their communication style was personable, genuine, and attentive - they really took the time to understand our vision and preferences for the music and entertainment at our wedding. The quality of their work was truly professional and they are so talented, elevating the entire celebration with their versatile set list and high-energy performance. They worked closely with me on selecting the perfect songs for our big day, always open to whatever I was feeling. Who Knew Entertainment played a huge role in making our wedding day truly special and unforgettable.

Great experience
From the moment we booked Who Knew Entertainment, their communication was perfect, proactive and timely. The band was incredibly professional, fun and whimsical in their performance. They played all of our specific song requests seamlessly and worked in step with the venue staff to ensure the flow of the evening ran smoothly. The musicianship was wonderful, and the band really made us feel special on our big day. We couldn't have asked for a better wedding band to get our guests on the dance floor and keep the energy high all night long. Highly recommend Who Knew Entertainment!

Kelli Ann, and whichever forms of Who Knew that you choose, will deliver exactly what you want, with any tone or tenor that is necessary. You'll enjoy a decades-experienced coloratura soprano who knows how to pick improvisational masters as musicians. She is empathetic, artistic, and also well-versed on the business side. Kelli's time in multiple musicals and in teaching help her keep a wide range of audiences entertained throughout her allotted time. Nothing is more important to her than ensuring your entertainment budget is well-spent. You'll find Kelli's Facebook friends list always pegged to the max, and with good reason; people love her.
Kelli Ann Lotrich•Apr 14, 2025Thank you SO MUCH!!!! SO greatly appreciated :)
