Big Ray and the Kool Kats - Live Wedding Band

As a Wedding Planner, I get to work with some wonderful talent throughout the year. In September I got to work with one of best out there. There is nothing that this talented group can not do for their couples and the pros that work beside them. Communication was fantastic and as a planner, most times this can be a challenge. Transitions were seamless, sound quality perfection (outdoor reception), energy level from the whole band was perfect. That evening reception was frigid, but you would have never known that because they had everyone up on their feet, singing and dancing all night through. Big Ray & the Kool Kats have jumped to the top of my recommendation list. From a professional standpoint, they check every box that a couple SHOULD BE LOOKING for in a band for their special day.

I can not say enough amazing things about Big Ray and the Kool Kats. During the planning process, Ray and his team were so responsive and helpful. The ceremony music was everything we wanted and more. They took care of everything from learning the new music, playing with the specific instruments we requested, providing the power and microphones, plus more! By the time of the reception, the weather got COLD! The band got everyone off their feet and even handled the guests joining them on stage because we were all having so much fun. They are truly amazing and we are already trying to think of another event that we can have them there for. Do not hesitate to reach out. You most certainly will not regret it!
