You need this band for your wedding

Chicago Catz made our wedding an UNFORGETTABLE celebration!! Their performance was nothing short of exceptional; their energy and stamina were incredible, keeping the dance floor alive all night long. They were not only talented but also extremely accommodating, seamlessly incorporating our song requests into their setlist.

Richie, in particular, was instrumental in ensuring everything ran smoothly. His expertise and attention to detail added a special touch to the entire experience. The band's enthusiasm and dedication truly shone through, making every penny spent well worth it.

Even now, long after the wedding, our guests are still raving about the Chicago Catz. The live band elevated the atmosphere and made our day incredibly special. We couldn't have asked for a better musical ensemble to celebrate with us. THANK YOU Chicago Catz for doing the damn thing and making our wedding an absolute blast!

Awesome performers

The Chicago Catz performed at our wedding at the Morton Arboretum in November and they were incredible! Richie and the rest of the band were absolute professionals and kept the dance floor crowded all evening. The music element to our reception was very important to us and nothing beats live music. We gave the Catz a rough idea of the kinds of music we were looking for and let them take it from there. From there, they were able to feed off the crowd and do what they do best, entertain! They were very easy to work with and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to entertain their guests. The best endorsements come from our guests young and old alike who still remind us of how much they enjoyed the Catz. Thanks Chicago Catz for making our wedding so memorable!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
