Erin L. Sent on 11/22/2023The Best, Most Entertaining Wedding Band Going
I grew up going to see Brian Kirk and the Jirks play bars at the beach and when it came time to our wedding, I was delighted when they came in the recommended vendors list of our photographer (Idalia Photography). We got lucky the date was available and that they also wanted to play our unique venue, Battleship New Jersey. Every song was played live, even ones we expected them to play on CD, even our first dance song; the saxophone and the horns were incredible hits. Brian is a great master of ceremonies and got even the most sour faced older people involved before pivoting to tons of dance floor hits the rest of the night. We cut our cake to Cake and the bride came out to Jersey Girl on saxophone. It was an incredible night and everyone couldn't stop talking about the band. They made the night and we couldn't be more gratefulBrian Kirk & the Jirks's reply:
We were honored to celebrate your special day, Adam and Erin! Between the venue, the guests, and the love surrounding you - it was the most perfect celebration. Hope to celebrate anniversaries together in the summers ahead! Happy Holidays to you both and your family. -

Caitlin O. Sent on 05/17/2022A++++++ Wedding Band!!!
Brian Kirk and the Jirks were the only band we ever considered for our wedding, and we could not be happier with that decision. The wedding was the best night of our lives and that is mostly in part due to this band!! The dance floor was packed the entire night, and all of our guests told us that it was the most fun wedding they have ever been to. We've been seeing Brian at his local shows for 10 years now, but nothing even compares to the show that they put on at a wedding!! 10/10 recommend to anyone getting married! The band makes the night! -

BRIAN KIRK & THE JIRKS WAS THE ONLY WEDDING BAND WE EVER CONSIDERED!!! My now husband and I picked our wedding date on Brian's availability and I am so glad we did. After going to a few weddings with them as the band it was a non negotiable from minute one. We wanted to have the time of our lives and have all our family and friends talking about our wedding forever. Brian truly didnt disappoint. EVERY person after our wedding said THAT WAS THE BEST BAND EVER!! We are so thankful we were able to still have our 2020 wedding and couldnt imagine it without Brian Kirk & the Jirks. THANK YOU BRIAN FOR EVERYTHING AND MAKING OUR DAY SUPER MEMORABLE. We look forward to supporting you in Hoboken and Jenks soon! -

Brian has done a few wedding for my family and it is ALWAYS the best time ever! The energy and fun they bring to every event is insane and was the highlight of our wedding! I love how interactive they are with guests and how well they can read a room with every song and situation. We loved them so much we added an extra hour of play time and had them travel 5 hours to us from out of state. They are truly the best of the best. -

Would recommend to anyone, anywhere
Brian Kirk and the Jirks absolutely made our wedding. We have many friends and family members who are already a fan of the band, but our wedding made absolutely every one of the 220 guests into groupies. The band did an amazing job for our ceremony, Tyrone absolutely made the cocktail hour and was praised by all of our guests, Dave did a beautiful job with our first dance (and every dance after that!), and Brian Kirk helped my nervous grandma with a microphone for a toast during the reception, and even she may have a crush on him now! Our guests haven't stopped talking about all of you even approaching a year later, they were amazingly professional and fun, getting involved on the dance floor and making sure everyone had an even more amazing night than we ever ever could have imagined. Can't wait to see you all at Jenks for a reunion as soon as we can, thank you again for everything! -

Since you generally see a snapshot of a review in the beginning, let me start by saying BRIAN KIRK & THE JIRKS ARE THE ALL TIME BEST WEDDING EXPERIENCE/LIFE EXPERIENCE EVER! I would say that my husband and I are so lucky to have gotten the band to play our wedding, but in reality, I think in addition to us, all of our friends and family are lucky that they played at our wedding. To book them is a celebration in itself. If you are a Jersey Shore dweller in any capacity, you know and love them - true bliss to book them...which by the way was a pretty smooth process in itself. Their team is lovely to work with: kind, organized, responsive, flexible. The band themselves as human beings are humble, energetic, fun. The band as a whole are PURE MAGIC. They learned a few songs and even made my unique father-daughter dance song-combo dream come true. When Brian is MCing and the band is playing, people are moved to the dance floor and singing at the top of their lungs. Our wedding transformed into a live concert-party. My husband’s dad is a former musician and they even let him sing with them! While obviously I’m a bit biased in saying that our wedding was the most fun and best one ever, our guests can attest to this in large part due to Brian Kirk & the Jirks. It’s truly hard to put into words how extraordinary this band and these people are. My family and my husband’s family travel in-flock together to see them as much as possible - why not relive our wedding fun?! Thank you to the entire band and team for making our wedding dreams our reality :) -

Jackie C. Sent on 10/11/2019The most amazing l night!!
If you want have an amazing night and a band that will blow away your guests, then you need to book Brian Kirk and the Jirks. They are the best at what they do!! Our entire party was on the dance floor till midnight on a Sunday, wishing they could play more songs. We received soo many compliments as to how great they were. Brian is awesome as MC. He is interactive, entertaining, and the perfect balance as the head of the band and the MC for the night. The rest of the band is insanely talented. Their lead female vocalist Kristin even learned our first dance song and sang it beautifully. Their horn section cannot be compared. They interact with your guests and trust me, everyone will love it!! We wish we could get married and have them play for us all the time! They were the highlight of our night and our guests’ too. Thank you Brian and the rest of the band for being amazing at what you do and making our night so memorable. We recommend this band 10000%!! -

Amazing - Rocked the House
Brian Kirk and the Jirks are AMAZING! We had high expectations for the band and they exceeded them. We wanted our guests to leave our wedding saying that it was a rockin' good time and believe us, they did, thanks to the band. Over and over again, our guests have been raving. On top of that, they were fun, nice, approachable, and easy to work with...good peeps. -

Jessica C. Sent on 09/23/2019The absolute best (wedding) band ever!
I really have no words to describe how incredible Brian Kirk and the Jirks are and how special he made our wedding. I was a fan before and then we thankfully got to sneak into their insanely packed calendar for our wedding and now we are life long fans - as is every guest who attended our wedding. Everyone came up to tell us how amazing the band was, and even ask them to play their own wedding / event. Brian, his band, and his team are true pros. With how busy Brian is he went out of his way to take multiple calls from me answering my every question and granting any special request. Nicole from his team was so responsive and a joy to work with. Brian made our wedding so special and made sure we were happy throughout the night. Besides being an amazing musician, Brian is also an amazing MC. He made our wedding the most fun party and had people of every age dancing all night. At some point I was literally hoping he'd play a song I didn't like so I could take a break lol! If you get lucky enough to have your wedding line up with one of Brian's FEW open dates, DO NOT HESITATE, book immediately. They are worth every single penny and then some. -

Keith G. Sent on 04/22/2019Best Band. Period.
Brian and team ROCKED our wedding. They absolutely killed the Horrah, all personal requests, and got the most people on their feet the entire wedding.
More people were asking me about the band than anything else. Worth every penny. -

Stephanie Sent on 08/08/2019Best wedding band in the area!
If you’re looking for the best wedding band in the NJ area, look no further! My husband and I got married on June 30, 2019 and we knew from the start that we wanted Brian Kirk & the Jirks as our wedding band. We see them all the time in the local area and they’re always a fun time. They know how to get the crowd dancing and keep them on their feet. Our guests said they had the best time at our wedding because of the awesome band. The performers are incredibly talented and Brian is an amazing emcee (he’s hilarious).
Brian Kirk books up really fast so make sure you book them well in advance. We actually planned our wedding date around when they were available. We booked them 20 months in advance. If you want your guests to have you best time and dance at your wedding, you can’t go wrong with Brian Kirk & the Jirks! -

Samantha Y. Sent on 05/01/2019Kirk and the Jirks absolutely rocked our wedding!
Why have a DJ like everyone else when you can have THE best band in NJ? It's been a month since our wedding and everyone is STILL raving about how amazing Kirk and the Jirks was. They literally ROCKED it. Brian and the band are the best it gets. They are so incredibly talented and really know how to own a room. They played music that appealed to all age groups, their song choices were so on point, and Brian was hilarious and fun on the mic. They are willing to learn songs as well --- they especially nailed our first dance songs. They were SO special. All 280 people at my wedding were literally on the dance floor the entire time. And those horns!!! There is seriously nothing like it. Absolutely fabulous. I already have a big group who wants to check the band out at the shore this summer!
Brian and Nicole were so easy to work with the entire planning process as well. They were accommodating, caring, and super organized. They were always open to my ideas and always had great suggestions.
I can't thank Kirk and the Jirk for making our 4/6 wedding at Park Chateau "the best wedding they've ever been to" in the words of all our guests. What a great time!!! I highly recommend this band to appeal to EVERYONE in the room. You won't be disappointed. -

Patty Sent on 11/10/2015I am the mom of the bride and hiring Brian Kirk and the Jirks was one of the best decisions I could have made. The experience from the the beginning to the end was top notch. Nicole, the band's manager was extremely professional, always responded to my emails quickly and had a great attention to detail. To use the work phenomenal to describe the band and the wedding reception experience is almost an understatement. Brian was an excellent and personable MC and of course the music was everything we wanted and more. All of our guests commented on how great the band was and told us that it was the best wedding they had every been too. I can't wait to use them again in the future,
