Best in the Business

We adore the Cosmo Alleycats and were so happy that they were able to perform for our wedding. They introduced us to such a timeless and beautiful selection of music as well as incorporating any requests we had. Andrew's solo piano performance for the ceremony was wonderful, their jazz trio did an amazing Bossa Nova for our cocktail hour, and the whole band blew away our guests with dinner and dancing music. We received countless compliments from guests including requests for set lists.

Logistically, Emily was so great to work with. She was super helpful in sending us a clip of their version of our first dance selection so we could practice at home. Their website is also very well designed with an extensive list of their repertoire that no other band comes close to offering. Definitely go with the Cosmo Alleycats if they're available for your date!

The Best Band I Have Ever Heard Live

Cosmo Alley Cats are FRICKEN AMAZING! Holy COW! Emily was absolutely wonderful to work with and was super responsive and helpful throughout the entire process. We got to do custom song choices that were not in their normal setlist which elevated the wedding even more. They knocked our choices right out of the park!!! The actual venue music was spectacular and their choice of music for every part of the wedding was spot on. Everything fit the mood perfectly. They were so good that many family and friends requested business cards and EVERYONE COULD NOT STOP RAVING ABOUT THEM!!!

In addition, the band actually helped coordinate some of the wedding and queues to help keep things on track. HOLY CRAP, what a way to go above and beyond. THEY KILLED IT!!! Please hire them now or you'll regret it.

We hired the Cosmo AlleyCats for our wedding August, 2017. They were fantastic!! Emily was very responsive to requests prior to the event, and on the day of, the band was just incredible. We received tons of praise from our guests. Throughout the cocktail hour and dinner, they contributed a great atmosphere, and after dinner they were lots of fun to dance to. They did a good job with songs that they learned for our spotlight dances and procession/recessional. We highly recommend them!

Emily Day and the Cosmo Alleycats were fantastic. They were fairly priced, flexible, professional and a joy to work with. Our wedding venue had some pretty strict noise limitations, so I was initially worried that this happenin' swing band might not be danceable, but they made it happen and had everyone on the dance floor. I can only image how awesome they'd be at a venue with no noise limitation and her fantastic voice at high volume! Emily was super organized and put my mind at ease come wedding day. She was so generous with her time, to the point of walking me through how my own processional would go! Highly recommend.

Cosmo AlleyCats KILLED it at our wedding. We had them play through cocktail hour and dinner, and our guests were completely enamored with Emily's performance style and the band's amazing sound. We're still hearing from our guests how much they loved the band! They completely set the vibe we were looking for and were such a joy to communicate with.

Truly, if you're looking for a jazz/swing band for your wedding - you can't get any better than this group.

Stop looking at all other band reviews because this is the band you should hire. Noam Eisen was my contact for booking the band and he is so kind, gave great suggestions, worked with me around our tight budget, and accommodated all of our requests with great turnaround time. The singer Emily Day has an absolutely breathtaking voice. We were unable to afford the full 6-piece band, but Noam was able to accommodate our price range by allowing us to book Emily who sings and plays percussion, Noam himself who plays piano and also sings and last minute we added a third musician to play sax, clarinet, and flute. They play a variety of styles- “vintage” dance music including: Swing, Big Band, New Orleans, Soul and R&B, and Motown. It was perfect for our antique- themed brunch wedding. I could not speak more highly of this band.

I'm not sure where to start on this review. It's an 11 out to 10.
I first stumbled across Cosmo Alleycats as a dinner guest at Le Colonial with friends. They were phenomenal and I immediately asked if they were for hire as I often plan our firm's corporate events. I took the card, some time had passed - and you can't imagine my excitement when we decided to hold our holiday party at Le Colonial and inquired as to whether they would perform for us. We hired the band and dancers. All were absolutely phenomenal!!! As a corporate event, hiring the dancers was the perfect touch to encouraging our employees to be willing to dance. And come on, how can you truly enjoy music without feeling it through your body & soul. Between the band and the dancers, we experienced one of our most successful events ever. Not only will we try to find ways to fit them into any and all events in the future, I am tempted to hire them for a fun home party! Maybe I should have provided a bad review to ensure their availability as I feel I may have just shot myself in the foot, but I had to be honest.

Noam, band, dancers and all.... we can't thank you enough. Most of my employees refused to dance - and made that very clear during the planning stages. While we had a few hold outs, we had numerous converts who can't wait to see you guys again. SO MUCH FUN!
