They can do it all - country, classic rock, latin, all the favorites! I've hired them 3 times now for different events. They are true professionals and crowd pleasers! Ray is very kind and really cares about creating a unique experience for you and guests tailored to your preferences. I can't say enough good things! They put a smile on everyone's face!

We were so fortunate to have found Ray Colao and his band for our wedding. Under an unfortunate circumstance we had a last minute cancellation by a wedding entertainer we had previously booked and with only about a month until our wedding weekend we found Ray. He just so happened to have an availability for our wedding weekend and with short notice we booked him and his band, immediately knowing how lucky we were to find them. In hindsight, our last minute change in plans was an absolute blessing in disguise because the performance that Ray and his band put on during our Latin wedding night celebration was unbelievable!! Ray and his band brought the party to life with their energy and spirited performance! He did more than just provide excellent, energetic music, he got the crowd involved and took our celebration to another level. He even brought professional dancers that showcased some incredible salsa moves which was very entertaining to us and our guests! We received so many compliments from our guests that they loved the music and performance during this night of our wedding. Ray is a terrific performer! We couldn’t have been happier with the way the night went and we owe so much of this to Ray and his band! It was exactly what we wanted and more! Thank you so much for being a part of our special weekend, we will always remember you fondly!

Guests described the event as “perfect”, and Ray and the band are a big reason why. It started several months before the wedding as Ray and the band auditioned for us - in his living room! Perfect emcee and musicians for the bilingual wedding (groom from Mexico / bride from US). Special song requests were made months in advance, and we were thrilled, and deeply touched, by the arrangements. The groom joined the band on stage late in the evening, bringing the house down with Elvis’ “Falling In Love with You.” Ray as emcee was outstanding, weaving English and Spanish throughout the evening, keeping everyone on the dance floor. Working with professionals who are top of their trade and just great folks was such a treat. I wish we could go hear and dance to them somewhere! Hire Ray, and then relax. Anything dealing with music - ceremony, cocktail hour, wedding party entrance, special dances, open floor dance, couple exit, whatever - Ray will take care of it. Check that box off and relax. Thanks, Ray. With love, The Briells and Palmas.

The band did a wonderful job throughout the entire event. We got so many compliments of how great the band was, and they truly helped create an ambience and energy that we so very much desired. We had so much fun, in large part to them! Would highly recommend them!

The Ray Calao Band offers a variety of music that appeals to all. Outstanding performance! Interacted with our guests and made the experience personable. I HIGHLY recommend the The Colao Band for your event!

Ray and his team will go above and beyond just music but provide a full event production service. Our company will definitely hire him again!

I feel like 5 stars doesn't give Ray Colao and his band the credit they deserve! They were absolutely perfect for our wedding night!
From the beginning of working with Ray, I was met with professionalism, great communication, flexibility and this overall feeling that Ray wanted the best for us on our wedding day. I truly appreciate the band response time and their promptness. They were quick to answer all of my questions and as a nervous bride, this put so much of my nerves at ease.
On the wedding night, the performance by the band played a major part of transforming our event into a night that will not be forgotten. All of the guests really loved the music and the interaction from Ray and the band. Our guests really loved how Ray got out into the crowd and interacted with everyone! Can't wait to see all of the fun dancing photos from our wedding night!
Thank you again Ray and your band for transforming our wedding into the perfect night!

They brought GREAT energy to our event! Playing both modern day music and throwing it back to the oldies, the crowd was dancing and having fun the entire night. Would definitely recommend them!!

First off, expect nothing but the up most in professionalism from Ray and his team. From the beginning Ray as extremely attentive and responsive.

We were not sure what to expect as we had not ever hired a band before. Ray met with us in person and walked us through our wedding step by step and detailed out everything. After our meeting we were given the task of selecting our music. The forms provided were great and gave us direct insight as to all the possibilities for our wedding. Ray and his team immediately went to work on our timeline and worked hand in hand with the venue and all our other vendors to ensure everything was perfect. On the day of our wedding everything went perfectly and our guests are still raving about the band. Everyone loved the way Ray came out into the crowd to engage the guests.

We can't thank Ray and his musicians enough.

We highly encourage anyone looking for a quality professional band to work with Ray Colao.

Thank you from the bottom of pir hearts.

Ray and his band were ABSOLUTELY phenomenal. Not only did they check all of the expected boxes like professionalism, communication, affordability, accommodating our specific event needs/desires etc. - but also, their performance literally transformed our party into an event that will not be forgotten. The sound, the presentation (we opted to have them in white tuxedos), and the interaction with the guests while preforming truly set a classy tone with a vibe of fun that people are still talking about two months later. I can't thank you guys enough Ray, and we will definitely remember you for future events.
