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!

We loved the Catz!

We couldn’t have asked for a better wedding band than The Chicago Catz! We chose the 11-piece band for our big day, and they absolutely blew us away. Of all our vendors, the band received the most compliments from our guests—everyone was raving about how amazing they were. Not only are they incredibly talented musicians, but they also went above and beyond with every detail we requested. A great example of their thoughtfulness was when Richie, the band leader, took the time on our final call to ask about the pronunciation of my maid of honor’s last name, ensuring the announcement during her speech was perfect. It’s small, thoughtful touches like that which really made them stand out. The Chicago Catz truly helped make our day unforgettable, and we couldn’t recommend them more!

Get ready for the best night of your life!!!!!!!

The Chicago Catz made our wedding the absolute BEST NIGHT of our lives. They are unbelievably talented, kind, energetic, great to work with, and created an evening SO fun and memorable that we’ve been hearing about how great it was for weeks. I knew I wanted to have a really lively dance floor and the Catz DELIVERED. Every generation was out there, banger after banger. I am so grateful for all their time and help with planning the ceremony music, cocktail hour, and of course the reception. My husband and I are beyond thrilled with our experience with the Catz and would recommend them to everyone. If you are considering a band for your wedding book the Catz. Just do it. Get ready for the best night of your life!!!
